Special Order: Wedding Couple and 20 small dolls for Shulin

This is the biggest order I have of the year! Shulin has approached me at least 9 months in advance for this order. Initially, just a pair of wedding dolls, then later she said she’ll like to give something to her brothers and sisters that help out during her weddings… Even her photographer and make up artist were one of them! So sweet!! :)

She wanted something special, something related to garden theme. Then, she emailed this picture to me:

If you watch Korean shows, this might look familiar to you. Yup, Save the Last Dance for Me… Quite a nice show…

This is my first time making a pair of western standing wedding dolls. The dolls are measured approx. 7” tall. Quite tall and the dolls look very proportionate.

She wanted the groom to hold a heart pillow with their rings… I was quite worry initially especially how to make the groom stands well… Then I’ve made a base at the bottom to hold both dolls and at the same time, placed the two dolls very close to each other so that they could support each other. This is what a couple meant to be: support and trust.

Small Dolls: 7 sisters & 9 brothers, plus 1 photographer and 1 make up artist.

One brother, Albert and the make up artist were missing in the picture cos they were so shy on camera… =P *Bluff*…. Cos I’ve complete the make up artist’s doll very last minute so didn’t manage to take a picture of it. And brother, Albert, well, I had mis-placed it! =P 

Shulin’s wedding theme are red and white. So, all her sisters were dressed in red & white dress with a big flower as their head accessories.

They brothers were all in shirt and black pants with a BIG RED bow tie… ;)

Shulin had an outdoor wedding… They were so blessed with good weather, not so hot and not so cloudy. JUST NICE…. :)

Wedding Couple for Mei Fang

Mei Fang is my ex-colleague’s colleague… =P He introduced my blog to her. She was excited and wanted to personalized a pair of wedding dolls based on her PS photos…

Her wedding theme are black and white! Interesting! The doll’s gown was almost identical to the one she had during her PS. The hair accessories were handmade by me too.. Using satin ribbon, I’ve made two huge flowers with crystals in the middle…

Both husband and wife are Malaysian. She told me she can’t find anything so personalized anywhere… I guess because she has a very unique gown! ;)

“Thank you very much! App ppl like the dolls, very special!”

Wedding Couple for Siew Ling, my childhood friend…

Siew Ling and I grew up together… She was my neighbour, exactly living next door! We went to the same school too and even in the same class for 2 final high school years!

She’s a teacher and happily married to her beau last year. I wasn’t able to attend her wedding. She likes the wedding couples I’ve made and I promised to make her one! Due to busy schedule and also waited for someone to bring the dolls back home, I could only managed to give to her 6 months later… :(

However, she was delighted when she received her dolls!!!

“I’ve collected d wedding dol... so beautiful and marvelous... me & my husband like it vy much... thanks once again... i gues tha's d most beautiful handmade craft i've even saw.... thanks for ur present...”
