Finalise Composite Sexy Stocking Weddng Bouquet

I finally finish up the last of the petals and the handle part on Sat noon after meeting up with Qi for breakfast.


The flower now looks more complete and rich with more petals unlike the incomplete draft that i show you guys on last friday.

woodblock feels that the green stem looks ugly so i furnished it with a grey pearl handle. The reason for the use of grey pearls is that i wanted some materials that is more vintage and yet has a colour that will suit the evening event.

I deliberately shape the petals to make them more curl up as it feel more wavy, enhancing the petal layers.

Love my oriental nylon stocking floral

Don't Princess Christine Look FABULOUS with her Sexy Floral?

A Peek @ the Sexy Stocking Floral

Well I'm about to rush off to meet woodblock for dinner soon!

Before I go , I thought I just update on what I have been up to in the short noon. I deliberately pass by amk craft shop to pick up the material required to made the stocking flower. The cratshop lady was really helpful and helped me check out the materials and wanted to make sure that i bought only the necessary items and at the same time din forget the important materials.

TADA presenting Princess Christine's treasures......

Tubes for ensuring consistent size of petals


Wires for making the skeleton of the flower


Not forgetting the sexy stockings


I had no idea what the heck this is when I bought it. But turns out that this is miracle string that works wonder with the nylon cloth material!!! By just winding it round and round without tying a single knot, the string just simply stays put in its place!!!! AMAZING MAN!


I chose the pink tube as reference for my petals size.


There I made many 3 petal skeleton stalk with the gold wire bfore adding the nylon skin on them.

Sexy Stockings for my Bouquet Please!

Now, for months i have been comtemplating whether to try out the crystal bouquet for my wedding but I held back the plans as somehow the idea din really strike me as a VOILA plan fit in my oriental shanghai wedding.

Some might asked: " DONT YOUR BRIDAL SHOP PROVIDE FLORAL BOUQUET ????? "

Yes they do, but if you are bride like me having a wedding over 2 days (tea ceremony + banquet), which is like 2 weeks apart, the fresh flowers are definitely not going to last that Looooong.

So I thought why not just used the one provided by the bridal shop during the tea ceremony day while i come up with my own bouquet (may it be ordered from Mrs Teo - the florist for my ROM) since the banquet means more to me as I luv oriental style theme!!!

Sometimes i think i live at a PUUUUrFEct location - near the amk craft shop. Again it has inspire me something with something that strikes my eyes again at their window display panel - something very oriental and unique!!!

Usually I prefer to only share my ideas after I came out with the product or prototype of my craftwork. However, I was thinking why not try a little different approach this time round to share the real journey of my sparks of ideas so that btbs will now follow me from the chance of inspiration till the final end point of a creation of a wedding Christine's DIY artwork.

Ever thought of translating the sexy stocking on your legs to a sexy flower too (a BIG suGGesTIve GRIN) ???

So here's presenting my CHANCE OF INSPIRATION;

The sexy oriental nylon stocking floral!!

It can also be made into a bouquet too =)


Yeshh. I bought the craftbook from the amk craft shop as I really love the idea so much! Plus i have yet heard of any btbs in singapore using this idea yet so I thought why not creat another new trend? Plus the flower can be kept as deco for my oriental style inspire room!!!

MOst importantly, if you had been following me closely, you should know that i have been eyeing for a composite bouquet for a long time ago and this concept just happens and allows me the flexibility to modify and self create a composite bouquet! For those who have no idea about what is a composite bouquet, basically it refers to a flower which has been added with outer layers of petals in orderto produce a unique large single bloom and is usually use alone as a bouquet!!!

Let's all cheers togther!

How can i resist not taking photo with my granny.

Woodblocks' family! All of them have baby face!

My turn to make the thank you speech

Surprise came for Princess Christine when woodblock wans to sing her a song.

Princess Christine listen intently and ...

she teared for she was so touched by woodblock.

Woodblock started to tear and cry while he sings with his heart.
So Princess Christine went up to wipe his tears for him.

To be honest many of our frens and family were almost tearing becos they were touched by woodblock's song.

Ah li : ' I teared becos Ah kor was singing with the crying tone.'

After the touching song, now it is the romantic wedding ceremony that I have planned. Glad that Woodblock and Hong luv the idea too!

We wrote each other a letter on the spot. The letters were then sealed with a bottle of wine in a wooden box and finally locked up.

ONly on either 2 occasions will we opened the box.

1) When our marriage is on the rocks. HOpefully reading the letters will help remind us of our love and save the marriage.

2) 25th yr anniversary. We will open the box, read the letters and celebrate the success of our marriage with the wine =)

Luv the deep meaning to this box, it is almost like a time capsule but only even more meaningful.

Of cos then we had some games!

Ook from our expression, you know how fun it actually was for us!

Thank you so much to Hong, Qi, Marvin, Xuan and of cos my wonderful Lao Gong for giving me the sweetest wedding I can ever dreamt of!
