January

via EOS setting the mood for 2011

its that time of the year when we look back and look ahead - january, the first month of the year named after the roman god of beginnings and endings, janus. as much as its uplifting to look back at the highlights of the past year while brushing away the disappointments (quickly as though they never happened!), looking ahead has always been a more enlightening experience. only because there is still room for optimism, hope and grand expectations (if you get overboard while penning your resolutions). looking back on the other hand seems synonymous with regrets for me anyways - so facing forward; here are my plans for TWC this 2011.

1. A new website for TWC - i have designed this for quite some time now and have yet to book an appointment with my web developer. it's going to display more pictures than all our previous websites (yes, i gave in to people's request ahaha) and it will feature our updated TWC logo.

2. TWC Publications - A bunch of downloadable stuff for brides, party planners and random people who stumble upon our blog. whoever you are i hope it benefits you in someway or another!

3. TWC Shop - we are the midst of renovations! how it will look, feel etc will be a surprise, even to us. and i can't wait to host our opening party whee!

4. TWC "New Product" - this might be launched towards the midyear or 3rd quarter of 2011. like all our product/service we'll decide to unveil it when the time is right! BOO, be surprised!

now i can only wish/hope/pray/beg for projects that will stretch our creative limits and breathe new life into our design aesthetic! something along those lines at least because i get bored easily and maybe this is why i have 2 jobs :|

so anyway, thank you all readers for visiting and reading our modest blog. it feels great to know how our work has inspired you in designing your party/wedding/celebration. i love seeing how pictures of our work make their way to your inspiration boards and eventually your event ;)

have a fantabulous year ahead!

The Office

our last two events of the year just took place this weekend and i'm so glad we have a 2 weekend 'rest' before we start 2011 rolling! just doing some math and i realised 2011 will mark the start of our 7th year in business!

if you are not aware already, we have been running TWC on a part time basis and technically still are since we're all holdings our respective day jobs!

but anyways, we'll be using this two week event break to do some serious clean up of our office/shop. we have set ambitious targets to get it cleared up on time for our first informational session of 2011; so look out for that sometime around February.

in the meantime, we'd like to thank the clients we served this year! it's been awesome creating new designs and implementing new ideas into our work :)

event pictures coming up later this week!

Roadblock

we finally moved into our new home ;) now believe it or not, we have zilch ideas (sort of) on how to conceptualize our shop/office space. i think just looking for the perfect place was mentally exhausting already.

just wondering, what would you expect a TWC shop to look like? do leave a comment - i'm really curious to know what our readers think.

in other news: pictures of our wedding last weekend will be up soon but probably next week after we finish moving into the shop space and completing 2 wedding projects this weekend. i can't wait for the year end break!!! 2010 has unveiled many surprises and unexpected changes, and i need to rest now.

Christmas Promotion from Wonderland

it was amazing to discover Wonderland - finally we have a party & event rental company here in Singapore! well we're always sort of envious of wedding planners/event designers from the USA due to their endless supply of the most amazing props, glassware, serveware and what not! due to the absence of such companies here, vendors like us have to stock up on props etc, which i personally feel isn't cost effective for the whole industry and customers alike.

so luckily for Melissa, who is Chiavari-crazy (!), we and YOU have a range of Chiavari chairs in more than one color to consider for our events! i believe she is looking to bring in more colours as well as other event props!

she has kindly sent out a promo for readers of this blog to enjoy a 15% off their rental orders for this festive season. click here to see a bigger version of this poster.

be merry, get chiavari!

Spreading the Love

it's the weekend again - how time flies really. our thursday event survived some weather battles but more pictures of that will be up next week!

to greet you this weekend, TWC is excited to announce another first for us. so far we have launched The Favour Bar, streamlined our services for 2011 onwards and now we're pleased to bring to you TWC Publications 2011! this will basically see us produce FREE online material for anyone planning events, weddings or private parties!

included in our Publications Project are TWC's Quarterly (which we haven't gotten around to naming yet, feel free to suggest) - featuring TWC Events, event ideas & tips and insights from event industry people, TWC Wedding Notes - wedding planning sheets free for download and a TWC Catalogue.

and do feel free to email us if you want to see anything particular on any of these publications projects! it is after all to benefit YOU.

have a good weekend folks!

colourful macs by The Wedding Chateau!

i've been wanting to post up pictures of our events from the last 2 weeks! but anyways, this new feature should top the list ahead of the other stuff we did.

to cut the story short, we must give credit to our latest client for giving us this very idea of a ... FAVOUR BAR. so thank you Shehnaz and Herman! they came to us keen on the dessert bar concept but figured if we could twist it a bit and pack all the desserts as favours instead.

so apart from customising desserts like we do for our dessert bars, choosing the different types of packaging and designing the labels etc was an additional task required.

so here's a sneak peek of our inaugural Favour Bar!!!

The Favour Bar

stay tuned for more pictures! The Favour Bar (TFB) will be the latest service offered by TWC - for pricing information please request for our price guide ;) this is just one of the first announcements regarding product & service updates at TWC. will keep you guys updated in the coming weeks ;)

hope you had a fantabulous weekend ;)

Figstreet

Ah its been ages since I updated on this blog! We've been working hard and hitting creative roadblocks of late while preparing a large number of proposals. Add unresponsive external vendors to that whole equation and you can consider this a period of trials. To all our Muslim friends, we wish you a blessed Ramadan - Eid preparations are probably starting to kick in now that it's just 2 weeks away.

We have mentioned previously that there have been a few major developments of late. Which is true by the way - thus the silence here! But anyways, looking forward as always, we're pleased to announce that TWC will be relocating. We have made our home(s) our offices and workspaces for the last 5 years which has saved us an incredible amount of costs! Now however with a growing set of props and business 'expansion' plus the sale of our dear home, TWC needs to move out of Fig. Street!

The blog name will remain though, hahah! Afterall, TWC was born right here along Figstreet. We will definitely make an announcement once everything has settled and who knows invite you to welcome our new home too ;)

In the meantime, its back to the drawing board.

Media!

i've not exactly been sitting on this but time seems to be against me whenever website publishing is involved. we have finally put up an ultra minimalist website which for starters will give you a succinct description of each of our services.

more site pages will be coming along as we progress towards next year such as a portfolio/gallery page (although i don't see a point in this since i post up most of our work on the blog) perhaps? i still like the blog platform only because it's pretty idiot-proof; thus more interactive stuff like polls, announcements and whatever-nots will maintain its appearance here!

i'm pretty excited for tmr and the coming week ahead with little tiny projects to look forward to; albeit last minute - the joys of rushing and intense brainstorming never fails to greet us over and over again.

Special Projects

figstreet will be hosting a behind-the-scenes series of blog posts as a build up to one of our biggest wedding projects yet! through these, we hope to share with everyone the conceptualization & design process that entails every wedding project, our sources of inspiration and the many many trips around this island sourcing for materials & props etc! and bear with us too, the humps and bumps we might potentially suffer, haha! minimal i pray this time around ;)

as of now, we have yet to build upon the main ideas we came up with awhile ago. hopefully that will be fixed after our information session this 31st where our dear bride will make known her final requirements and the likes. time seems to be running faster these days and with event day in approximately six months time or so, we better get rollin' soon!

stay tuned ;)

Born

On June the 5th, Salvatore Ferragamo was born. And so were Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes. I was never fond of studying economics but I love shoes and bags made of luxurious materials ;)

Thank you all for
