Real Wedding: My Very Own One ~ 26.12.13


Hello People! Hope you all are having a good time! 
As promised in my last week's post, I'm back here and so excited to share with you the pictures of my own wedding and how it turned out to be. If you've seen my previous post, you will realise how beautifully each piece of art created its own place to the venue creating  a beautiful venue for all our guests. Everybody loved it including us! 
As awesome as always, thanks to  our photographer Savio of Savio Colaco Photography for capturing such amazing pictures and all the little pretty details. I bet none could have done it better! Special thanks to all our family & friends who have been so amazing throughout and worked really hard to set up this for us. 

Bridal Bouquet
Beautiful Bouquet was made by my very good friend Andrea & her sweet Mother. 

Rustic Ring Holder
Our Ring Holder Designed & Crafted none other than the Groom Ivan.

Reception Venue
Our Nuptials were held at St. Diogo's Church, Guirim - Goa, followed by a the reception at a cute little romantic place called "Coco Loco Village" set up in a small village in Goa surrounded with a lot of trees. The best part that we loved about Coco Loco was the serene location, a lovely garden and the beautiful fruit trees that make up this entire place. Since we both are nature lovers, nothing could suit our tastes better.
Venue Entrance lit up with the Punched Paper Bags
The Wedding Cake
The cake supplied by the venue itself and was conceptualised by us. Since our theme was a nature inspired, love bird theme, we went by this  beautiful design inspired by something that I saw online. To add to the lovely cake were these beautiful cake toppers designed by my sisy Shearl.


Our confetti cones turned out too plain, thanks to the last minute wait. Ha ha ha But it has a lot of memory to it where we all sat just one night before the wedding day and made these cones from normal A4 size white paper. He he he...  

The Guest Tables
As mentioned in my previous post, we wanted our decor to be simple yet very elegant and classy. Hence,we chose to go in for some votive and pomanders. To add a personalised feel, we also added these thank you notes designed by us. Here is what it looked like in the venue.

The Guest Book 
Our Guest book again inspired by Nature and in line with our theme done up on Canvas with gold paper cuttings was the main attraction of the entire set up.  Laid on a table with a bed of purple and gold confetti circles, this area was the most whimsical of the entire set. To team this up, we also put up a frame (done up by Ivan) of our pre-wedding pictures. Decorated with mini pomander strings and glittery monograms backed by strings of led lights made this look awesome.
And that was the entire decor. As you see, this was a lot of hard work, not for me alone but the entire family and close friends. Thanks to all of you for making this so beautiful. It was so much fun doing this all up for this big day. Wish I could relive those moments all over again!
And for all of you out there who are curious out there on how we looked here are few pictures of the bridal party.
If any of you would like to have your wedding designed and crafted just like mine or if you have any specific requests for parties, events or other functions, do email me at kraftykrook@yahoo.in. We would love doing yours as well!

Till then, Happy Crafting!

Have a Nice day Ahead!

    1. Hey Nora. Thanks. Wow that's great! Coco loco is a great venue for weddings. You can do so much there. No we did not decorate all kiosks - instead we focused on decorating the main areas of the venue which would be highlighted in our pictures. :) mainly the garden area close to the dance floor.

    1. Hi Leona, thanks for your message. All the decorations have been done by us and the venue was set up by my family. The centerpiece above the cake i.e. the lanterns was done by the venue itself but we gave them the concept on how we wanted it to be. Hope this helps. :)
