Photography Isle by Mariah & Sham

The Photography IsleTM  is a rather new design concept created by Mariah & Sham, 
in place of the more common in-house wedding dais / staging set ups.

This isle serves as a beautiful corner
for the bride to sit and witness the solemnization ceremony.

With an original Mariah & Sham design,
a less bulky set-up,
and an understandably more natural look, 
our mostly garden-themed Isles are gaining popularity. 

 Here's our most recent, for lovely couple Suhailah and Iskandar...

A beautiful garden right in Suhailah's own home







And here's Mum behind-the-scene,
arranging the gorgeous flowers in our mock up isle,
right in my dining hall....


On to our next project.....
Think Monte Carlo ;)

Designer cupcake. Only by Mariah & Sham

A brighter mix of colours, 
a new frosting technique 
and our trademark personalised cupcake wrapper 
for our couple Suhailah & Iskandar


Wedding Venue Decor

2012 will see us embarking on bigger and bolder projects. 
Infact we've started working with four beautiful couples for their upcoming 2012 weddings.
Admittedly, these persistent couples were the ones responsible for pushing us beyond the inertia. 
They came to us, insisting we undertake their wedding venue decorations, 
despite us not having a prior portfolio.

And we have been having so much fun working and planning with them, 
simply because they share our aspirations for beautiful fine weddings.

Information on our Wedding Decor packages will be up on our Mariah & Sham Website soon....

Mad Scientists Designer Isle for kids

My first born twins wanted a dessert isle that was anything but cartoon themed, 
for their 10th Birthday. 

They wanted to create something less generic, somewhat related to science, 
rather than just printing common cartoon characters off the web,
and pasting it on chocolate bars and favors. 

So we came up with a simple yet fun Mad Scientists Designer IsleTM - 
An original creation by Mariah & Sham and Haz Workz

A simple arrangement of the right props gave the kids plenty of room for fun and experimentation.
Yellow M&Ms to complement the blue-yellow- brown-white colour scheme.
A guest board for the kids to write their wishes on...
The kids went crazy over these chocolate rock candies, here displayed as 'radioactive specimen'
We all enjoyed making crystals in the school lab, didnt we?!
And what's cool is that this one's totally edible :)
And then grandma just couldnt resist baking cute cookies...
A simple and crazy cake everyone loved
The day I allowed them to throw streamers everywhere! ;)

Nadyne's first birthday party

Amidst all the rush, Mariah managed to plan a mini birthday gathering for baby Nadyne...
Taken off our handphones, the pics are quite blurry.
We hope you enjoy them nevertheless.


Favors made with love...

Mariah found a great baker who helped her make and pack these lovely cupcakes. :)
Finishing touches by Mariah & Sham
Goodies galore...
All cramped up on this small table - the only low one she has, for the small kids to feast their eyes and get their hands on



Snippets

Just some of the many pics I have time to update with.
Now that we're busier, blog updates have been put on the back burner.

~ Congrats to all our lovely couples ~

Designer Isle - Salwa & Ishaaq

One of our June projects included a "Designer Isle - Dessert"
for a gorgeous couple Salwa & Ishaaq.
The bride wanted an isle of sorts...
namely pastries, chocs and candies, choc fondue fountain,
fruits and even traditional delicacies, for her wedding reception.
Arab families like theirs are known to be very hospitable and generous to their guests. 

We're delighted to have been a part of their celebration.
We hope the guests have enjoyed our isle...as much as have we enjoyed designing it :)


Now if only this was a garden setting....
Our Designer IsleTM,  designed out of our very own tentage - hand drawn by myself and sewn by mum.
(See behind-the-scenes)





The pearl-embedded raw silk table cover we used here
was just but one of the high quality and classy props we used throughout our isle.
We're big on quality and fine details :)

Fresh Flowers

Tiramisu, courteousy of Sis Linda's favourite family recipe.

Mariah's peach and strawberry tartlets were so beautiful and delicious,

And our favourite part of the job - Personalisation.
Seen here is a classy and expensive personalised golden backdrop
for the couple to keep and remember their special day by.
