First of the Season: The Bride who loves Blue

Hello all you lovelies! Hope you all are doing good! 
Its been ages since I've posted here. I have been extremely busy with the weddings coming along my way and I must say its a million times worse than your own! He he he

Well, we really had a good kick start to our first season with this amazing wedding. I'm really glad I can use all my creative powers to transform the look of every wedding.  Its not just limited to making stuff but executing it to make it all look good! And even more better, I'm now full time into this! 

So coming to the weddings, this was the first of our season. An amazing bride who loves blue and a super cute groom who totally rocked it. It was super fun working for these two! 

Here's a sneak peak of what we made for them. I hope to grab some more images soon.

Would love to know what you guys think of this! Leave in your comments, I'm waiting!

Have a great evening!

Happy Crafting,

Happy Announcement!

Hello!

The love for weddings, details and DIY's evolved into a passion while planning my own wedding. During my planning, I discovered so much that I couldn't help starting up my own wedding decor blog. I intend to make weddings more fun, more personalised and more playful while we imbibe the tastes & personalities of the couple into all the details right from the invite to the little details in the venue set-up. This has always been my dream and here I am with my own wedding decor label.
Makes me really glad and proud as I announce my next label "KV Designs & Decor" which is a label dedicated to creating unique designs and handmade decor for weddings. 

Here are few glimpses of my new website & blog. 


Hope you folks continue the love you've given me through Krafty Krook. I look forward to seeing you guys at KV too. Here are the links to the:

Enjoy! Have a great week ahead!

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!

My very own Handcrafted Wedding ~ 26.12.13 (In the making)


Hello People! Hope you all are doing great! 
Its been quiet sometime since my last post; had been super busy with my own wedding so had to skip blogging for sometime! Well I'm back and going and super excited to share stuff with you guys starting with my wedding...

I haven't been so glad as I am today and as I share with you guys all that went into this wedding. It was a tough journey, but ended as a fairy tale... 
Our theme was Plum Purple & Gold centred around nature, carnations & loved birds. Nothing better than incorporating your favourite colours to decorate your own wedding! :D
Almost every single detail was hand-crafted, right from the ring holder, table pieces, guest book and cake topper. Thanks to all my folks - my mom, my siblings - Shearl, Carlton, Allen & Shannon who did everything to keep up with my never ending demands. :D Not to forget Ivan (now my husband) & his family who has a lot of contribution to the all the creative details as well. It took a lot of effort and yes, never ending arguments, but it was all worth it :D 
To begin with, is the invitation card. This was a tough one - getting the perfect paper, perfect colours and the hunt for the right wrapping elements. Thanks to Wilson Gonsalves of White Lace Designs, Margao - Goa who did everything for our idea to fall in place. 
The Invitation Design
It took a couple of weeks to complete the entire Invite since the entire wrapping was to be done by us.It was so much of fun doing this with family! 
And the final product... done up on textured paper with a semi transparent handmade cover held by a punched circle.
We wanted to keep the entire decor very simple yet very elegant. So we chose to go in for a lot of candle votives and a lot pretty details in line with the themes. Here are snapshots of what we made.
A lot of Krafty Krook stuff :D
Decor for the Guest Tables. Ivory & Purple Paper Pomanders with Hand painted Chai Glass Votives.
Decor for the family tables. Stringed Chai Glasses & Lamps with large paper carnations.
 Mini Pomander Strings
 Punched Paper Bags to light up all the pathways
The Guest book in the making...
The cake toppers.. Pretty little love birds designed & crafted by my sister Shearl
Hand crafted Head gears for the Junior Bridal party
Hand crafted Buttonnaires for the Bridal Party
Our Rustic Ring Holder designed & crafted by Ivan
It was so much fun making all this stuff for the wedding!! And yes, challenging too... especially if you're very specific about colours and themes. We do lack a lot of good resources especially in India. So we have to make the best of what we have..

Very excited for the next post which will include snapshots of the actual wedding...

Till then,
Happy Crafting! Have Fun
