Brother's wedding: Over

My brother's wedding is done and ALL the stress with it is gone...However i can't help but feel this sense of emptiness. For almost a year I've dived into researching, organizing and coming up with creative decor for my brother's wedding and now I feel..blah.
Though I had a blast at the wedding I just can't believe how fast it passed, almost like a dream, so amazing how all the preparation that we worked on for a year feels like it went 'fast forward' in mere minutes during the wedding.
Still, it was an amazing experience and I was so pleased that many were impressed with the arrangements that they asked me to assist them in their coming weddings, maybe it's a part time career that I ought to consider. Not a full time wedding planner but more like a wedding 'consultant', sort of guiding and advising ladies how to spend wisely and tastefully on their weddings while being impressively innovative.

posted a view photos i caught on my blackberry but will post the rest of the decor photos soon!

Wedding's table set, so proud of it!



Build up: 3 types of vases were used and here's one covered in delicate white lace





Note to self

Pardon for the assertive 'bumper sticker'  but we honestly need to be sincerely grateful for the things we have and stop yearning and whining for the things that we don't have, who knows, God might have it for us just around the corner but we are too focused on feeling sorry for ourselves that we don't truly enjoy and cherish the present moment that we have. : ) 

Saturdays and WaterMelons

Saturday is becoming my favorite day of the week. It's probably the only day where I spend quiet hours munching on some fresh cold watermelon, watch Style TV and then blog endlessly without any interuption : )

Flower Galore

As my dear friend 7ayaty ince said: 'Noora you're obssesed aren't you? ' lol.
Yes I believe i'm really into flowers (particularly those that are leaning towards the dusty, vintage, pink shades) but i can't help it. The very sight of it relaxes and renders me content in a way i can't find words for it. So uplifting they are!

Oh, and one more thing

Have a relaxing weekend inshAllah

Have a lovely weekend and remember...

Believe it

Brother's wedding next week!

Dear friends, my apologies for being slow in posting my thoughts/inspirations for the past few weeks, I've been running around like a headless chicken and i think i'm experiencing my first migrane! Nevertheless, I'm loving all the research and designing i'm doing for the wedding.  Will return to my daily posting the week after...if I can get rid of the pinks and crystals that are stuck in my brain (theme of the wedding) lol!
