Vintage Luggage Party Invitation

Come and fly with Allexzo Airlines!

On his fourth birthday celebration, Allexzo pilot an airplane! How cool was that? Well.. it's actually through a flight simulator. Allexzo's mom made a reservation at Flight Experience Melbourne where Allexzo and his friends each became a pilot and learned about airplane and the surrounding.

Decygn were contacted to create airplane theme stationery for Allexzo Birthday. We were excited to hear about the flight experience party. After gathering mood boards, we decided the theme to be Vintage Airplane. The colour scheme was cream, brown, light blue and a hint of orange.

What do we prepare before our flight? Luggage? Boarding Pass? Map?

And we thought “Hey, why don’t we have all of them in Allexzo Invitation?” 

Luggage shape invitation is specially hand crafted. Printed cardstock is glued on front-back to the luggage shape cardboard. For the design, we opted for vintage airplane icons and world map stickers. Brown luggage tag with a blue cloud design is attached on luggage’s handle. The luggage tag is personalised with the guest name.

On the back side, there are boarding pass with party details and also map to make it easier for guest to find the venue.

Overall, we were really happy at how the invitation turned out and we got a lot of good feedback for them. Happy days! We will post more on Allexzo's Vintage Airplane Birthday Party soon. Stay tune!

Pretty-Pastel Animal Safari Dessert Table

This is a long overdue post from our past event for baby Mikayla. She's the cutest and adorable little baby girl; full of smile and laughter. Ooops.. she's was not a baby any more.. she turned one year old!! We were so eager to celebrate the first year of her sweet life with lots of colour and fun. 

The theme chosen was pretty-pastel animal safari. We designed the cutest hippo, giraffe, lion and elephant characters. We created a fun and pretty scene with pretty pastel colours of pink, yellow, green and orange. 

We surely had a lot of great time designing and creating Mikayla's dessert table. So many delicious, sweet and tempting little treats to offer.  We filled up colourful balloons with helium and used them as background for the table.

             

In the centre was the cutest birthday cake according to the theme. Two tiered chocolate cake was covered with pastel colour fondant. The top tier fondant was embossed with swirl design and the girl name was stamped on to a fondant plaque. On the top of the cake was Mr. Giraffe and Mrs. Elephant. Little Miss Hippo sat on top of the second tier cake which was decorated with fondant ribbons and embellished with hearts and bow-tie fondants. Cute mini fondant buttons was scattered around the bottom of the cake together with Mr. Lion which is holding a pink heart. 

Then there were lots of yummy little treats. Assorted mini macaroons, fairy cookies, colour block crispy wafer,vanilla cream puff, cake pops, chocolate kisses were some of goodies.

Mini cupcakes with custom cupcake toppers were a big hit. So was also the tree colour jelly in cups and the so-mouth-watering chocolate brownies. And for those who was after a cold and sugary drink, chilled strawberry soda cream  dripping from the mason jar dispenser would surely satisfy the thirst.

All the menu cards and cupcake toppers were designed according to the theme. A "sweet table" banner were hang at front of the table and finally, a bunch of tulips and calla lilies added a sweet touch to the centre of the table. 

Happy first birthday Mikayla! We were grateful and so blessed to be part of your birthday celebration. Wishing you much joy and happiness on the coming years.

Stay tuned for the next post as we reveal more from Mikayla's birthday party. If you would like us to design and create dessert table for your event, drop us an email and we'll be in touch. 

Re-post: Valentine "hearts"

This is a re-post from our Facebook page for Valentine edition. To help our dear friends celebrate Valentine, we were giving hearts printable which can be made into anything.  Here's what we did to our "hearts".

We use them as a candy wrapper; simply cut the front and back sides of the designs, glue the edges, and inserts your candy before you completely enclose the two sides.

If you have got presents for your loved one, why not add this cute gift tag? Cut the hearts  and glue around the edges; leaving a small opening. Write your message onto a paper and fold them small. Insert your message through the opening and seal completely.

Make a statement with this giant cupcake topper. Cut the hearts and write your message at the back of the heart. Then sandwich a skewer in between the two hearts. Add pretty ribbon or decorate.

Lastly, have you been thinking of “popping the question”? Well, use these hearts to surprise her! Get a nice flower bouquet. Cut the hearts  and glue around the edges; leaving a small opening. Write your message into small piece of paper and enclosed it inside the hearts; together with the ring. Then give it to her and wait her to say “YES!”.

If you miss this Valentine printable, stay tuned and like our Facebook page. We are creating many more printable and surely you wont miss them.

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.

Testimonial from the bride and groom:

Hey decygn team!! Just want to say thank you for making our wedding registry such a successful event. You guys have always been professional from day one; able to understand what we want and also providing us with valueable inputs throughout the process. And the result was fantastic. Everyone loves the decor and you have made things beautiful at the end.

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.
