Engaging: Symantha + Kenlon

We are so looking forward to Symantha & Ken's wedding tomorrow!

They are such a fun couple, just check out their engagements by Duane Peck Photography!

Ken's a video producer & Symantha was all about having a driving concept for their big day, so once we heard the words old Hollywood cinema & a love for Mad Man that was all we needed!

Can't wait for all the amazing details to transpire on Friday...did I mention there will be a cinema style candy concession station & a star studded aisle?

Many thanks to Duane Peck Photography for sharing the fun!

Reviva Weddings are featured in WeddingBells, Canada

 We are delighted that one of our beautiful weddings, from last year, has been featured, across the waters, in the Canadian Weddingbells Magazine so we thought we would share this moment with you! 

According to Joee Wong, the fantastic photographer that Kelly and Wil bought with them all the way from Toronto, the article looks even better in real life.

Kelly and Wil contacted us, not long before their wedding date, and needed help to finalise all the details of their wedding day and someone to style, decorate and oversee their stunning wedding at the Puente Romano Hotel.

It was a challenge, as despite booking the venue, Kelly and Wil had actually not been here, although we then found out Kelly had visited as a child and decided she wanted to get married here :)  Having been together for 7 years and saved up for this special day, we were very excited and honoured to be involved. 

Carla set to and finalised all the suppliers, arranged the last few details and organised everything so it all came together and I worked with Kelly to design and style her

wedding day.

The end result was stunning, it was a beautifully hot September day and the emotional ceremony conducted by the delightful Natasha was held on the beach at Puente Romano Hotel followed by a reception at the hotel´s Suite Del Mar. 

 

 

Kathryn Parr made everyone look gorgeous with her amazing hair and make up talents and Mark at Cake Marbella did us proud with his cupcakes (still have to have words with him about supplying extra though!)

Dramatic Spanish Style For Weddings

As many of our clients wish to incorporate an element of Spain into their weddings here, we are constantly looking for Spanish style inspirations to add touches of Spain's wonderful and dramatic culture into our weddings and parties. 

We love this fabulous shoot featured on Wedluxe using a stunning combination of black lace, red roses and golds, it reminds me of the beautiful churches we have here adorned with gold candelabras and candles. 

We have been working very hard here this winter and many of our weddings coming up this year have some beautifully designed styling and details. 

We have one in Sevilla that is going to be stunning and we will feature sneak peeks as we build up to the big day, our gorgeous vintage fan invitations are winging their way to London as I type :) 

We have a Sevillian orange rustic style wedding, fabulous vintage style lace weddings and the rest of our designs are currently well kept secrets as we reveal some stunning new ideas throughout 2012!

VIVA LOVES!!

We know, we know. Blog posts have been few and far between lately but with good reason. Spring is here and the season is full of fabulous weddings so Viva has been in full planning mode. We are however so very humbled by the outpouring of "please give us more posts" emails we've received and will do our best to give you what you want.

With that, here we go!

It's not a secret that Viva loves outdoor weddings and what Viva really loves are ways to make each outdoor wedding unique. Here's what we think is a simply fabulous idea for the bride's great reveal at an ourdoor ceremony.

This bride found matching doors at a secondhand furniture shop and restored them with cream-colored paint. The ushers held them upright and together at the start of the ceremony aisle. Just before she walked down the aisle with her father the doors were pulled apart.

Viva loves!!

VIVA'S BOOK CLUB - SWEET DESIGNS BY AMY ATLAS

We don't usually do two Book Club posts so close together but this just couldn't wait!

Amy Atlas, also known as “The Sweets Stylist,” is internationally recognized for creating the stylized dessert bar trend that so many MOHs are setting up at their best friend's bridal shower and so many brides are including in their wedding.

We've all dropped our jaws in utter amazement of the images on Amy's website and stalked Amy's blog anxiously awaiting her next post.

Now, after two long years working on this labor of love, Amy is about to release her first book and while it won't be in stores for another month (April 24th 2012) we just couldn't wait to tell you about it!

Sweet Designs has 15 chapters filled with recipes for irresistible treats, affordable DIY craft projects and features never seen before dessert tables, each inspired by themes her clients most often request: a favorite color, design, flavor, destination, passion, or holiday.

Mark your calendar folks. It's only a month away!!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!

INSPIRING DRESSES FOR WEDDING

*SCHEDULED ENTRY*

Meowwwwwnyewreoww...!
translate:hye my darlingsssss..! heheee;p

Hari ini kite akan share2 some pics untuk buat tatapan dan inspirasi untuk mereka yg xde idea untuk wedding dress.... aritu i saje2 blogwalking kat blog kak jumie yg meletups tue... kak jumie ni suka review2 dresses celebs mase awards2 yg baru2 nie..i mmg suke bace..hehe.. i tgk byk nice dresses yg bleh share ngan korang.. kalau i xshare pun, nanti tgklah mesti byk designer yg baru2 (or lama) akan tiru inspired buat dresses camtu gaks..kannnnn ;p

 Okay, here are some yg i tgk boleh dijadikan wedding dresses.. all taken from blog kak jumie. Kalau i terer mcm Rilla dah lama i alter2 sket gambar2 sumer nih supaya nampak lebih ke-wedding-an..hehee ;p


ACADEMY AWARDS

Natalie Portman in 1954 Christian Dior Haute Couture vintage gown 
i agree ngan kak jumie dress ni mmg terbaik! cute giler polka-dot dress nih...! i do hope ada bride in malaysia berani buat dress polka-dot camni...i think in pastels mesti nampak chun!! :D

dress by Elie Saab..dress chantek, org yg pakai xsesuai.. kalau kite kurangkan sexy dia mesti sweet untuk dipakai untuk wedding.. :)

 Cameron Diaz in  Gucci Premiere
Gorgeousss right?? i serious suka yg panel thingys skirt dia tu.. tgkla nanti confirmmmm byk designer malaysia nak buat camni.. ;p serious dress ni sgt sesuai untuk wedding reception kalau kita add on the top and chiffon half sleeves..

Louise Roe in Black Halo 
Simple and modern, tapi untuk us Malaysian ni dah gaya klasik+modern cos top dia da ala2 kebaya yg structured. OMGGG i love this, please someone buat dress camnieeee..xyah nak beading n lace bagai..the detailed belt and add on bling accessories dah cukup, seriously!

lovely colour n love the flowyness...draping dia chantek...untuk yg slim2 boleh la pakai camni..imagine kurang sexy n tambah sleeves mesti chun..! :)

love the glamorous feel to it..i suka sbb dia bling2..hehee ;p so far i blum nmpak lagi wedding dress yg buat draping tepi camtu..kalau ada yg buat mesti lawa gilers kan.. ;)

this dress is very inspiring for fluffy girls like me..!!! seriously..!! why la dia xpakai before i buat my dress..! i never knew this design sgt membantu nmpak kecik...rasenye kain camni kat jakel atau gulatis pun ada, trus buat dress camni je dah nampak glams...cuma untuk wedding malaysia lagi sesuai bila ada sleeves la..kan? nak sgt2 tgk plus size bride pakai camni...






  bagi dorang dress ni xchun ala2 momsy.. but to me i rasa sgt sweet..kalau untuk nikah sesuai nie.. :) sesuai ngan theme vintage2 rustic2 gitew..

 i want my man to wear this..!! hehee.. kalau buat reception theme modern, tux camni sgt22 segak okeh.. ;)


OSCAR'S RED CARPET+AFTERPARTY & VANITY FAIR AFTER PARTY

 i suke sbb Elie Saab.. heheee.. kalau buat colour putih grand uols.. no need to much detaling..

 kimono or kebaya inspired dress? seriously suka gak dress ni..colour dia pun sweet.. imagine kurang sexy version mesti sesuai n chantek dipakai for wedding..! :)

 i like the whole design dress.. i mean bukan part top yg sexy tue, i like the silhouette of the dress, part kain tu jatuh atas paras pinggang..and the flowyness of the kain pun just nice..xnmpak over fluff or flat..

 yg ni pun sama mcm atas, i suka part kain..hehe.. ;p

awww how cute n sweet is this?? mcm suka la plak tgk, except part ropol kat dada n leher tu..makeup plak sesuai kan?very the-doll-look..! :)

 hmmmmm kalau bleh kawen lagi kan best..buat event byk2 so bleh pakai dress byk2..hehehee ;p aiks dah lepas kawen pun masih lagi verangan?hahaaa..hey haruss tau..tapi nak kawen ngan my meowgagah la, xkan org lain kot..hisshh.. ;p

 baru terjumpa ni kat internet..why didnt i think of this?? nak cincin camni gaks voley tak...pleasssee..:3

meowluv~
