Alan and Maria

Alan and Maria is one of the best looking couple we have! Add to their good looks, they are a wonderfully nice couple : ) I am so happy when we do happy weddings for happy clients.

I love doing bouquets, we have ranuculous, hydrangeas, roses and tied them with crystal bands ontop of satin ribbons.
The photo album table! Didn't know Fullerton has this table? They have it usually next to the wall and we requested that they move it forward. I like antique looking tables!

Feathers add a whimsical feel to the elegant wedding!

Aren't the birdies just so super adorable?? We placed it under the unity candle and they nested on the flowers!




Alan and Maria, we wish both of you the very best for the future and God Bless every journey that you take!

Chinese Dynasty Wedding

I love decisive clients, and Jolene and Joseph is one of them. They knew what they wanted, gave me about 3 months to execute and we did it! It was super challenging and we relish it!


The articles above appeared in Tatler Weddings, though with one error on the decor. Decor & conceptualisation were arranged by Spellbound! A typo which as Spellbound's nature, we let it passed!


The whole ambience was well captured on video. Click here if you like to view it!

A Garden Church Wedding

When this lovely couple first told me that they had decided to do away with a wedding dinner and hold their celebration solely in their church, I thought it was a great idea!


Inspired by nature, the lovely lovely couple wanted to have trees inside the church! As the turn around time is rather short, we had 8 feet toparies installed with ivy leaves scalloped along the aisle. Sounds simple, but dear folks, it was massive undertaking! My army of staff had to put hundreds of ivy leaves onto the 3 feet topiaires casing and miles long scallops the night before the wedding! I do take my hats off to them! Meanwhile I was off barking at the set up crew of the tiffany chairs...they had to set 400 chairs in 1.5 hours! It was fun but totally stressful!



Lemon trees greeted the bridal car when it drives up the driveway...we had so much lemons left that we made lemon curd jams!



The couple are such food-natic! They had the best food for a church wedding, I swear! And Spellbound does a lot of church weddings too : ) What I love about them is that they really wanted the guests to have a sumptous and comfortable eating environment, hence the tiffany chairs, chinas and sparkling forks and spoons! If you peep at the photo above, you will see a lovely tree! Its their emblem!


I love the skyline on top of the lemon tree, it created a great light to shine onto the dessert table.


The tiers of cupcakes: they were gone before I could say "of with their heads" *wink*

ROM at Au Jardin

Spellbound has always love open spaces with trees, a gecko or two...but in hot and humid Singapore, practicality sometimes rules. Au Jardin at Botanical Garden is a place that we have always set our hearts on and we are mighty glad that Weiquan and Rachel agreed with our suggestion!



We dolled up the archway to with lanterns and pomanders and scatter some lanterns on the ground for an informal fee.



Rachel's vows were so beautiful and heartfelt, I had a tear or two. Readers, this is why you must do your own vows, memorise them and look deep into your husband's eyes when you say it & vice versa.

Jay and Jessica

Jessica is the sweetest and generous bride ever, the epitome of a Sabah bride! Jay is the most easygoing groom we had! We're so privileged to be doing their wedding both in Magellan Sutera, Kota Kinabalu and Ritz-Carlton, Singapore.

We placed 8 feet high topiaries to line the aisle at Ritz-Carlton with red carpet (the rare occasions that we use red carpets!)

Alvin and Joline





Hi Folks!
Alvin and Joline wanted to replicate the Sakura stroll for their wedding in Ritz-Carlton. Their wedding being in June, we can't freeze the oh so fragile sakura trees, so we did the next best thing! Replicate!


Spellbound, being spellbound...we can't resist doing a candy bar for them at their church ! Eunice putting her skills on to good use, wrote all the yummy stuff on display!

We use hydrangeas and peonies for the Joline. We love pink!


For the lovely bridesmaids, we had cream eustomas bouquets, and Poh Choo made pink silkflowers wrist corsages with a faux diamond in the middle to add a little sparkle!


Thank you Alvin & Joline for sharing this beautiful day with us. We hope you are having fun in Boston! : )

Ian and Ee Jia

Ian and Ee Jia's vintage whimsical wedding was Spellbound's first wedding for the new decade!
And it was fabulously fun and lovely and oh so much of happiness and love!
We love the vintage beetle and little did Ee Jia knew what the guitar meant

(although we suspect she kinda know...) later on. Ian, you outdid yourself!


Bouquet of pompoms, hydrangas,eustomas, statistes

Dining table set up at the Botanical Garden of different shapes of glasswares and flowers

Napkins "rings" that we sew on for many many days...


Yayyy! a surprise from Spellbound to the loveliest couple. As they walk up the stairs,
we had gadzillions helium balloon floating on top.

They did some homework too!! They did pre wedding shots
with Charity, Ian's sister! The binoculars & frames and are from them!

Vintage looking & polka dottie pomanders to add to the ambience!
Their friend, Wei'er made the most delicious cakes for their wedding. One of them was
chosen as the wed cake, who said wed cakes need to be be gigantic tiers?
A one layer cake is as meaningful if it was baked with tons of love...


Thank you Ian and Ee Jia for giving us such a great start to 2011!
