It is customary in Chinese weddings to place the 囍 or 'Double Happiness' sticker on the bedroom door. The word 'Double Happiness' is to represent eternal happiness to the wedded couple.
I never considered the idea of putting up the 囍 sticker on my bedroom door, simply I didn't like the very traditional designs available in the market. It was when I started surfing bridal websites such as Snippet & Ink, and Style Me Pretty when I became inspired by the DIY real weddings. Suddenly, I was determined to make something DIY and meaningful (to me, at least) that set my wedding apart from others.
I am not sure what led me to this idea of coming up with a 囍 signage on my bedroom door, but I certainly did it, and with a twist!
1) Find a nice 囍 word online, or design your own. Enlarge to the size you want and print it on red card stock.
2) Use a blade and ruler, carefully cut out the 囍 word till it's completed.

3) Choose a fancy scrapbook paper from the nearest craft store (I got mine from Papier Love @ The Curve).
4) Paste the cut out 囍 word onto the scrapbook paper. Allow to dry before putting it on the door.
5) Ta-da! All done!
It's a very simple project, but I loved the end result. To me, it was traditional yet modern, and definitely different from the rest. I even got Patrick to take a creative shot of it!
