A sudden stroke of inspiration.

Tweet Tweet~

Woke up today with a sudden stroke of inspiration. The enthusiastic chirpings in the morning are not always welcomed with open arms. More often than not, one would feel murderous towards those birds for being so cheerful that early in the morning. Trust us, we at Jitters & Smiles feel you!

However, as the birds chirp away welcoming the start of a new day, a stroke of inspiration entered into the minds of one of our designers.

Without a doubt, nature is the greatest inspiration one could receive. =) So we at Jitters & Smiles will be trying something out! Here's to hoping that it could turn out well enough!

Cake Inspiration Board - A Project AGC Update

Good Morning Dear Readers,

To start off the Friday, we will let you have a peek into our Cake Inspiration Board for a project that we have yet to update on in awhile! =)

For quality and taste purposes, all cake orders will be done in-house by a Jitters & Smiles associate!

Excitement and anticipation is building up at Jitters & Smiles as the months past by quickly.

Of Flowers and Fragrances

Today at Jitters & Smiles we're gonna look at a certain racial group and its wedding traditions.

Ever heard of Bunga Rampai? They are fragrant shreddings of pandan leaves and flowers that are sometimes scattered over the bride's hands signifying a blessing. Bunga Rampai, of course, comes in many forms depending on the part of the Malay Archipelago you or your family hails from. The recipe differs from the Malays to the Indonesians. Bunga Rampai are usually homemade by the bride's family and given away in unique holders as a fragrant token to close family members.

At Jitters & Smiles, we accept orders for Bunga Rampai and its holders or containers. 

Here's a sneak peek of one of the holders that the team at Jitters & Smiles are currently busy with! =)

 Hope you guys like it! We customise our designs in accordance to your request and/or the theme and colour of your wedding~

ENJOY!

Of Dream Dresses & Vera Wangs

Regardless of traditional, modern, contemporary, sexy, sweet, chic and stylish, each and every bride to be have a dream wedding dress..

Today at J&S we're gonna put aside talking about all those decorations and dwell/dream/drool over those gorgeous dresses.

Be it a Vera Wang or a Vivienne Westwood or even custom made by your local tailors, it really doesn't matter. What matters is that you should wear whatever you want on your wedding day. This year's most talked about wedding dress would be the one Kate Middleton wore on her wedding, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Alexander McQueen's designs have been nothing but regal over the years and Kate Middleton's dress was befitting of a Queen-to-be. Traditional, Minimalistic and yet powerfully beautiful!

How could you find fault with that? And Pippa's dress was the talk of the wedding too (No doubt she actually looked smoking hot in that).

However, not everyone fancies this modest design above. Some prefer a bold colour while others prefer pastel. However, the one thing that most brides often go for are either strapless gowns, sleeveless or help up by gorgeous spaghetti straps such as these below...

Therefore, pre-wedding weight gain are nothing but a bride's worst nightmare. As a result most brides scutters  to their local gym to train up to looking perfect on their big day. However, not everyone has the financial luxury or even the time for personal training. For those of you with that problem. DO NOT DESPAIR! Here's a tip for all you bride-to-be out there!

Whenever you get the time, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms straight out in front and holding two bottles of water underneath, slowly lift alternate arms to shoulders and down again, repeating ten times on each arm. You can also hold the weights next to your thighs and lift to a horizontal line, making sure to keep elbows tight to the waist, and slow release. Remember: Sets of 10! Repeat the steps for 20mins with breaks in between! =)

I know quotation below will be going against all self-loving therapy you've been putting yourself through all these years. But somehow, when it comes to weddings, all these are thrown out the window! =D So i guess, this is a special exception that everyone will understand! =) So good luck!

REMEMBER

"You do not alter Vera to fit you, You alter yourself to fit Vera - Bride Wars"

Curtain Falls

Who would trust a team that hasn't been introduced? So let us take that step to extend a hand of handshake and a wave of hello!

We have entered this world of wedding planning on a freelance basis as we're new and the diversity in career paths will lead to a more dynamic and funky outlook on life; a definite advantage in this industry! A team made up of ex- freelance theatre practitioners and set designers, lighting consultant, fashionistas, marketing executives with a tinge of serious legality; will definitely have something exciting to plate up in accordance to your request!

The Team of J&S are made up of 4 close knit individuals. We're so close; people think we're related! Haha! We're funny, we're fun, we're lovable, we're easygoing but most importantly? We take our craft seriously!!! <- That's a definite assurance for all of you out there who's still contemplating, we're the real deal! =P

So welcome and enter the world of Jitters & Smiles and hopefully, you'll bring us and our services along on your journey through the Jitters and Smiles of a bride-to-be till your actual day!

Project AGC

We'll be embarking on something new and major for our portfolio that will take place sometime in June 2012 and planning has already begun!

AGC stands for Arabian inspired with Greek colours. (AGC is also an easy acronym to remember within the team at Jitters & Smiles)

Let us invite you to take a little peek on the brainstorming board in accordance to the request of our client!

We're currently quite happy with the ideas that have been flowing in for this particular project! So stay tuned for more! =D

Lotsa Love,
From the rest of the Team!
