Love Birds Civil Ceremony

"Friends are the best person whom you can share your moments, thoughts, feelings, your joy, secrets, and most of all laughters.."

Andy and Novi are our dear sweet friends, so imagine how delighted we are when they request Decygn to be a part of their special day.

Novi was the kind of client every designer love, she was clear on what details she wants to incorporate but at the same time trusting us to work creatively and freely do what we do best.

Our bride wants a simple celebration with fresh flower and apple green as the main colour, we then add on yellow for contrast and lively effect with white as a background.

Online invitation with little bird couple as requested by the bride

For the guest book we created a custom design pages where you can stick photo and write messages, the cover was stitch and hand made using a green fabric.

Various flask was use as a hanging pot along the wall.

We put vases filled with apples along the aisle, later these apples will transform into favours. As you might guess, these pretty little favours are our multitasker apples, wrap in paper lunch brown bag and clipped with custom thank you notes 

The altar was one of my favourite part, the flower arrangement really brighten the place up.

This one was our "surprise gift" for the couple, we create a display of their pre-wedding photo, and many guest end up using it as a photo background.

This couple is so near to my heart and seeing their big smile is just an icing on the cake. Congrats to the lovely Andy & Novi for the start of an amazing journey together.

Sweet Love for Mums!

Last Sunday we celebrate Mother's Day. As a Mum myself, I really feel special and loved by my gorgeous daughter and hubby. I even spoilt myself with a few purchase here and there. I'd say to my self that its a reward and appreciation for me. Ever since my daughter was born two years ago, I have come to a new understanding of the word "mother". I used to think that being a mommy is an easy thing; well, its the hardest job ever. It comes with a never ending things-to-do list and always updated job description. But I'm not here to complain or nag. Instead, I want to appreciate all mothers every where around the world for their never-ending-love, courage, faith, prayers, thought, sacrifice, tears, hope and dreams for their sons and daughters.

I want to give something sweet for my fellow mum friends; nothing fancy, but its the thought that matters. I've got some A-list nourishing hand-cream and  chocolate love hearts which was wrapped in a beautiful hand-made tulle and lace pouch. The soft peach tulle is ruffled lightly before sown to delicate lace ribbon. 

Then I'd call help from DECYGN designer to make me a nice matching card to go with the wrapping. I really like the romantic flowery design to the card and the matching flower colour. Then its time for me to get my little one busy with a bit of paper craft to personalise each card. The result is a beautiful and lavish little package of love for my fellow mum friends.

I'd say before being a mom is the hardest job ever. But its also the most rewarding. Like tonight; a little kiss on the cheek before good-night sleep from the little one truly melts my heart and makes me feel so much loved. 

Super Hero Baby Bday Bash

Super Rafa is calling other super heroes to rescue his first birthday party. Powerful drink invitations were sent to all captains, wonders and the incredible. The party details were designed on the bottle label with super R emblem on the front side. In addition, Super R emblem was screen printed on a red silk cape and fastened on the neck of the bottle.

For the party, what would be more fun that helium gas for little kids? We get super-heroes- colour (i.e. red-yellow-blue ) balloons to decorate the venue. Then we created what would be the most fun and yummiest ‘recharge station’ for all super heroes out there. The table were dressed up with navy blue cover and brighten ups with colorful ribbons. We then hang the spelling of “RECHARGE STATION” signs on to the ribbons. 

The cupcake topper and buffet menu were also custom made.  A baby R super hero birthday cake is proudly presented at the centre of the table. Jelly and mini cupcake were a hit among the heroes. Wafer cone filled with choc mouse were place on to a rice-filled tray. Giant glass dispenser were filled with chilled lemon tea and orange juice was kept cold in a tin bucket of ice. We created a colourful fresh flower arrangement in a white tin vase to add sweet touch.

And don’t forget to bring home the Red goodie bag with yellow super R emblem on it.

Happy Birthday to Super Kid in town!

Rustic Wedding : All in the details

If you miss our last two posts on these rustic themed wedding, you can read more about it here. Now we are going to share the details of the wedding.

We styled the guest reception table with fresh flowers, birdcages, rustic tray and we use burlap as the table runner. The guest book was specially designed using sheets of laser engraved plywood. The tree and heart design was taken from the wedding invitation.

The bride and groom want life plants as their gift favor so we suggested mini mixed herbs in pots. A custom made bags from cotton fabric stamped with the heart design is very stylish and charming. We simply present thems in plant racks and let the guest pick their own choice of herbs: coriander, basil, thyme, rosemary and chives.

  

Following the ceremony, the guest were served luncheon and we designed a totally YUM dessert table. We use tree stumps and wooden tray lined with napkins for the mini-treats.  We use rice to hold the macaroons in the tray so it can be easily picked by guests.  The cake pops were presented on a moss-covered wooden tray. Spoons for the fruit punch were placed in glass pots and tied on to the tree stumps. The background of the dessert table was white garden lattice decorated with garland and glass vase filled with flowers.  

For buffet table sign, we use gigantic wooden scrabble pieces spelled V-E-G-I-E and B-B-Q. Plant labels were used as buffet menu and were stick unto the herb gift favour. 

We create rustic flower arrangements on long table which cover the soundsystem to the church. Mixed bottle of various shapes and sizes were used as vases. Branches and fresh flowers were used. We add tea lights and the couple engagements photos to the display.

Overall, it was truly an amazing moments for us to be able to design for our dear friends. There were some long sleepless nights, panda-eyes and sore-backs during the production to finish the project, but we count them as blessings. We wish the very wonderful journey ahead for E&R. 

Rustic & Charmed Garden Wedding Décor

We posted this rustic wedding invitation not long ago, and now is time to reveal our styling décor for the wedding ceremony. The wedding took place in a church in East Caulfield. It was the perfect weather to held this joyous occasion.

For the guest entrance, we used a pergola and decorated it with twig, branches and few flower blooms to create a rustic feel. The guest book was specially designed using sheets of laser engraved plywood and the herbs in the pots were given as a gifts to the guest in a custom made bags to mimic the wedding invitation envelope.

The bride and groom walk down the aisle on a white flower carpet with red rose petals scatter around.  Along the aisle were cyclamen within wooden rustic pots. The white stools for the bride and groom were decorated with white geranium bushes.

Panels of white garden trellis climber decorated with ivy and flowers transformed the church stage to a rustic secret garden. Planter boxes filled with flowers and sleek white altar table add the charm to the stage.

Red roses were the heroes in this wedding and it has a special meaning for the couple. The groom gave 365 stems of long deep-rich red roses on their first anniversary during their courtship. He put them inside her bedroom to surprise her and the whole room filled (PACKED) with the beauty until no more rooms to put. 

The windows on the side walls were dress up with custom made window screen. Tulle curtains soften the natural light that brightens the rooms. Planter box filled with flowers add sweet touch.  Wood panels between the windows were part of the church and were highlighted with simple hanging flower baskets and spotlight.

One that truly transformed the church hall was the additional of floating garland lattice decorated with flowers and fairy lights. That was the most consuming time to install but the final result worth every minutes of it.

That was the big pictures of the rustic wedding décor. We had so many positive feedbacks from the guests and it was truly an honour for us to designing for the couple.  Cheers, and wait tomorrow as we post more on the details.

Rustic and Natural Wedding Invitation

DECYGN had been busy the last few months, and we couldn't wait to share all the wonderful moments that we had. Since the beginning of the year 2012, DECYGN had the privilege to work with two of our best friends for their wedding; together we build a styling décor concept and unique wedding stationery. The couple wanted a rustic theme for their wedding and we came up with the idea of using plywood for their wedding invitation.

The plywood was laser engraved on both sides. Front page was engraved with the tree specially designed for the couple and the unique bible verse was the couple’s own pick. Tree has a special meaning for them; they officially started their courtship under the canopy of a big tree near the botanical garden. Back page contained the wedding invitation detail.

The burn mark from the laser engraved around the edges and on the pages created rustic feel. The visible plywood grains add charm to the invitation.

To keep with the rustic and natural theme, we created custom fabric envelope made from natural cotton. The fabric was cut to size and sew with red thread to create a nice contrast and finished with a red button. A custom stamped was used to create the heart design with the couple’s initials. This heart and the initials was a replica of the groom’s hand-carving on the tree where they started their courtship.

We use shipping tag from brown craft paper as an address tag. This shipping tag was tied on to the button using natural jute twine.

Overall, we have created a rustic wedding invitation. It really has a special charmed to it and would be a delight to those who receive it. Contact us at info@decygn.com.au for your own custom made wedding invitation.

Adorable Little Miss K

It's been over a year since I made pink Baby Girl hamper. And Yes, Baby K is turning one at the beginning of this year! For her first birthday I decided to made her a 3D frame that tells a story about Kiara.

Kiara is famous with her headband. Most of the time, when you look at her you will notice her headband and what make it more stylish is that her headband matching her outfit. From Kiara's photos you can see how adorable she is wearing a matching clothes and headband.

The color that I choose are pink, yellow and orange. I made two set of mini wardrobe with a matching headband using fabric and paper. One with yellow color and another one in pink. Best wardrobe sign placed under Kiara's photo and on the right hand corner I put a wording that I believe her parents would agree "Daughter is an angel sent from above to fill her parents heart with unending love".

Handmade black box with lace and ribbon details will fit the frame nicely. I decided to use the same fabric for the 3D frame and birthday card. This handmade birthday card is mainly made from fabric. I stitch "K" initial on one side and on another side I made a fabric pocket card. Where I put a wishing card latter on.

Once again Happy Birthday Kiara... And have a little peak on Kiara Story, it's a Kiara's mommy headband store.

Scarla Jewellery Exhibition

When two of our good friends at SCARLA Jewellery decided to throw a jewelry party, we just couldn’t resist participating, what girl doesn’t love their baubles?  We created a dessert table for the guests to enjoy, we decided on black and white for the color palette based on SCARLA’s signature color. 

We always want to do a baroque theme with a touch of glamour and the timing couldn't be more perfect. The backdrop consists of string crystal beads. We designed a dessert tag fasten it using black ribbon finished with classic embellishment to add luxury feel. Each stand is covered with baroque wrapping paper and a diamante strap. Apothecary jars, classic frames and candles added for elegant tone. The guests also treated with thank you gift filled with chocolate and vanilla cookies. 

We surely enjoy the event, nothing better than an evening spent chatting up with friends over gorgeous jewels.
