tea anyone?
A chinese engagement...
Initially, we had to refuse this order since we already got too much on our hands, but the bride was so nice and bubbly, we decided to squeeze it in. besides, we always wanted to do a "tinghun" or "chinese engagement" invite.
To sum up what a tinghun is... It is where the bride announces to her clan that she is "engaged" through a tea ceremony. It starts off with the bride walking backwards. The husband to be's family brings in the goodies ( thats the dowry) for the bride to be and then they all eat misua and eggs and tea and angchio together.
The main challenge was to make it "chinesey" without making it well..too "chinesey". If you are chinese.... and are familiar with those tacky red and gold invites with the fu sign, you would know what we mean..
Here we tried to make it modern luxe by adding this floral print border...as inspired by Shangrila's condo interiors.

save the dates and other projects
things have gotten pretty busy lately for updating.... but we've gotten a few requests for projects aside from maps.. Here, Raquel and Jonathan asked us to do their Save the Date..
Raquel is a baker. She likes candy pink and chocolate brown. And so what better save the date than something that shows a lil bit of you....
We originally wanted a plain bakeshop.. something to keep the guest guessing...but the couple wanted to have a "couple" caricature too... just like the one they will be having on top of their cake. Raquel is the kind of bride who knows what she wants. and she was quite specific as to where she wants the muffins and cupcakes and cakes arranged. Looks like this is going to be one very coordinated and organized wedding!
So here is the final copy
Our original design... ( unfortunately, our apple pie and bundt cake didnt make the cut huhuhuh :) )
