12.11.11

It is a norm for a wedding reception to occur after the solemnization. Therefore this is J&S's Nov 12th. Its filled with anticipation, joy and laughter.

What better way for us to start an entry than showing the happy couple. So here's the couple that's finally together forever till death do they part! =D (God's willing. Amen.)

There were many firsts that occurred on the 12th of November and it was not exclusive to the married couple. For the first time ever, Jitters & Smiles accepted the task to do the wedding cake for the ceremony. Its a simple and elegant cake that we at Jitters & Smiles are really proud off! And we have received positive feedback from guests that it tasted exceptionally good! (That really gave us a confidence boost and we're definitely looking forward to future orders!!)

As similar to every wedding, its all about the details. so first up, we'll show you the first creation by J&S that has created the initial buzz the morning of the reception. The Hand Bouquet of course! Its arranged and decorated in-house by a member of J&S and we are happy with the elegant and contemporary outcome of the bouquet and we're really proud to say its ours! =DD It not only captures the character of the bride but it also managed to showcase what Jitters & Smiles is about.

The next important thing in any wedding reception is the dais or stage where the couple will take photos with their guests! As you could see from the bouquet and the cushions in the pictures above, the colour theme for the wedding reception is Magenta and white/creme. As the ceremony took place at the bride's home, the dais was located inside the house.

The backdrop of the dais isn't done by us. Its provided by Hana Zakaria Wedding Planners together with the seat, fan, glass pillars and stage. So what did Jitters & Smiles do? You may wonder... Well, here it is.. the floral choices, decorations and arrangements as well as the magenta cushions that were made as per the bride's request.

Now, let's proceed outside! The ribbon chandeliers from the night before were still included as part of the decoration.

There was a transformation of course. The Candy Buffet table from the previous night's solemnization was completely transformed in the early hours of the morning into the guest book table.

Finally, the 28 table centrepieces that was cute and fun was also made by us for the reception. 

Hope you guys like it!

11.11.11

We apologize for this overdued post but the Official Photographer just released the rest of Nov' 11th pictures. So finally, here we are uploading it up for our special edition.

Everyone has a milestone in their life and 11.11.11 was a special day to the Jitters & Smiles family as someone really close to the team has finally stepped away from singlehood into another stage of their life. This event was carefully thought out both by the Bride & Groom as well as the team of J&S. A memorable moment in one's life have to encapsulate the essence of these 2 amazing individuals that have decided to join in matrimony.

Below is a picture of the Bride & Groom right at the front with their bridesmaids and best men after the solemnization ceremony. The family of the bride were in silvery grey the night of the solemnization while the family of the groom were in pastel orange. The Bride and Groom as you could see were in pastel lime green. The soft colours collaboration accentuate the romantic atmosphere of the entire event! =)

We also would like to apologize as there were no close-up photos of the gift exchange trays as the team were so busy that night, we neglected to take pictures of the individuals trays. But nevertheless, we're undoubtedly proud of the 16trays (for both sides, including the sirehs and the mini cakes that we've made for the bride side in magenta and white!) that we have come up with! =) 

The ribbon chandeliers that were part of the decorations were all handmade! =)

'

We were also really happy with the outcome of the solemnization dais! Hope you guys liked it too! =)

In any event, lighting is an essential factor in creating the ambiance required. Infusing romantic textures was a definite necessity for this super important day! Therefore, candles came out to play! The team at J&S are also really happy at how these handmade lanterns turned out! It created the perfect romantic and fun touch that we want to achieve...

The Candy Buffet was a definite hit! (Psstt.. we also have a secret to tell you! We'll be experimenting with more themes for our Candy Buffet and will upload it for your viewing pleasure as well as part of our portfolio!)

and yes, we definitely pay attention to every little minute details. =) Coz there are instances where details play a huge role in changing the outcome of a product!

Remember the Bunga Rampai casing that our team were working on few months back? Well, here they are showcasing themselves on the actually day! aren't they just the little beauties we promised them to be? =D

We have come to the end of our eventful triple 11!!

Hope you guys like what you've seen!

Of Perfumes and Fragrances PT2

In a traditional Malay wedding, gift exchange is one of the most symbolic introductions of both parties' background to the other... It introduces both families of where and what kind of family the party is from. One of the many things that's included into the gift exchange is now the Sireh Dara.


What is a Sireh Dara?


Sireh Dara or Sireh Junjung is an essential traditional gift item in Malay weddings to signify the purity of the lovely bride and is usually placed at the wedding dias. 

With rapid modernization, Sireh Dara is now a part of the gift exchange between both the bride and groom’s family during the akad nikah ceremony.


Take a peek at the sireh dara's that J&S have created so far! =)

Warm & Fuzzy!

Its a warm afternoon and you're sipping tea. You crave for nothing but that soft, sweet, buttery texture of...

YES! CUPCAKES!!! 

Cupcakes have evolved over the years! It no longer sits itself on quaint tea plates accompanying you while you have your sunday tea with your girls. It has ventured itself further as you often see cupcakes grace bigger events, sometimes even replacing birthday cakes and even wedding cakes! 

Its gotten more colourful, funkier and prettier... Its been graced with little sugary fondant statues... However, here at Jitters & Smiles, cupcakes still take on the classic look with a twist of the 21st Century. 

Butter cream icings still triumph in its war to grace the tops of our lovely cupcakes! As our team custom-made each order to your own individual preferences, below are just some pictures of cupcakes as aid and suggestions before you place your orders with us!
