Dinner Venue Decorations

I was quite particular about the wedding dinner decorations at Bankers. I didn’t want to overdo the deco but yet, I wanted something with style. Fortunately, Sze left the deco all up to me, so I had the freedom to decide on what I wanted the place to look like.

I had done some research and I already had several ideas in mind. 1st of all, I wanted our theme color to match the classic wood environment in Bankers. We saw some photos of a few previous wedding dinners there and found that light purple blended in very well with the Bankers interior. The color was very unintrusive and gave me a nice, warm feeling. Even Shangkar, the Bankers event manager, loved that color.

Now, wedding without flowers would be no wedding at all. I wanted a floral centerpiece with a pillar candle and 2 bouquets at the base of the staircase railing with netting to cover the spotlight.



(Nobody could imagine what I wanted, so I did the centerpiece myself. Bought the flowers 1 day before our wedding and DIY the bouquet myself. But that was not such a great idea as I did not have time to relax at all.)

Shangkar would also scatter rose petals and place tealight candles on the stairs, window ledges and tables.



We saw from some photos that too much deco could crowd out the classic and elegant environment in Bankers (which would then defeat the purpose of choosing this venue). Hence, we decided to keep our deco relatively simple (when compared to those photos… hehe).

Although Bankers did provide chair tiebacks, we did not take up that offer as they did not match our theme color. So we sourced for the tiebacks ourselves. We went to meet Hassim at one of his wedding events. We chose the tieback color we wanted from his color palette but we missed each other and did not get to meet. Everything was done through the phone and we would then bank in the money for him after our dinner event was over. Unbelievable as it may sound, this business deal was all based on trust!
