Take 10, Take 100, Take 1000

One experience that I truly enjoyed throughout the wedding planning was the wedding show Mr.Flamingo and I took part in. I must admit its hard work being in front of a camera. Not only do you have to talk as though there is no camera around, but there are many many takes.


Can't forget the touch ups.



The filming of the show is done in three parts. The first is an interview with the both of us and we had to explain our theme and the issues we encountered throughout planning. We had several issues but these were the ones they took care of.

- Figure out how to display our escort cards
- Hide the neighbouring building (visible when your on the terrase)
- Figure out how to display our lamps and make a photography corner
- Hide the wall behind the head table (wear the dividing panel of the hall usually are stored)

The second part of the taping consists of a DIY project with the host. I did this 2 days before the wedding and I had no idea what was going on. Once I got there I was so happy. We were working on my display for my escort cards.

The third part is the big reveal the day of the wedding. Thats when we actually get the chance to see what awesome work they've done. And awesome it was. Here is a sneak peek:

With REAL chandelier swags (and its mine! Hurray for gifts)

Camouflaging neighbouring company

You saw right, that is the exact chandelier from my invitations. I was blown away when I saw that... talk about carrying out the chandelier theme throughout. Don't ask me how they did that, they never asked me for the artwork. I guess I will find out when I see the show.

I learned that we will be the season premiere of their 4th season. I don't know yet when it will air, but once it does I promise I will try my best to upload it somehow.
