solemnization dress

A very long silence!haha..been so busy with research progress, need to speed up some work due to the wedding sampai kadang-kadang i have to postponed all the wed preps =(

So, my designer cum my tailor is my proud mommy!hee..I didn't have any confident to hire other tailor or designer (tak mampu..huhu) as I know, if mom will sew my wedding dress, I'll be the proud daughter to wear it! Before this, ada rasa nak hantar to tailor yang memang specialize in wedding dress, but then nowadays, semuanya memang ribu-riban.tak mampu mak!haha..if to send to any regular tailor yang ambil tailoring for wedding dress, i dont feel any confident! I know my mom can sew the best wedding dress which I cant find in any store. Lagipun, lebih senang deal with my own mother. From the fabric choosing and design, Mom's know best!

So here some tips which can be applied in choosing the wedding dress style:

guide

So, knowing that I dont have oh-so-perfect-model-body, kena choose betul-betul. When looked to any design dress, I have my opinion. 

1. The look

The first thing is I love the classic look. I dont want looking into my wedding photo, dah tahu dah bila trend tu bermula.hehe..So, I want something yang very the classic, so I want beaded. For me, every bride look like 'bride' if she wear beaded. Bling-bling sungguh! No offence. Sekarang ni, everyone opt for simple, like dinner dress. I adore them too. Sangat cantik and pretty enough.

2. Style

If I wear empire cutting, mesti nampak gemuk!no no no, nightmare! and if terlalu ketat, rasanya tak sopan for us. Too lose, u look like the dress wear you. So I love mermaid or A-line. Dah tau dah tak berapa nak tinggi, so tak nak la the train is too long and no kembang-kembang.Im afraid I look big.

Actually, hari-hari tengok wed dress, hari-hari nak tukar the design. HAHA.but when looked through all the photos, I know what I actually want! So, antara yang asek duk tatap siang malam, bukak-tutup, termimpi-mimpi, haa.. here some of it. All of them I find from the internet.

this one look so flowy, but body like this, un-check!

suka banyak-banyak butang, my mom asked me utk jahit sendiri.haha

love the beaded

i know, this one memang serabut. But i love the patches

Ha, now you know how serabut I am. haha..baru nak pilih design ok, 2 months plus left!ewah..should freaked out NOW!

rambling

lama gila tak rambling kt blog sendiri.fuh..macam dah tak terkejar yop!haha..so much much to do in so little time.rasa macam lemas je hari-hari banyak kerja yang halfly done!almost everyday bangun tidur baca jurnal, list here list there, lepas tu bosan and at the end of the day, do nothing!wah kau, bajet banyak masa lagi ka?

wedding preparation, rasa macam lama gila tak cek on the budget, didnt plan here or there, research here, banyak yang pending, fuh serabut rasa. dulu macam senang je plan kawen but now, im totally lost!

sindrom yang bukak sini fell in love, saw there, again slip of the shoes, but then decide nothing!haha..okay. so right now, im taking a leave from this wedding preparation, clear my mind again, plan for our future, then we'll see where it goes..

2012

Dah 4 hari masuk tahun baru. But still, rasa macam still 2011.  Rasa macam nak berazam sempena tahun baru, tapi azam-azam yang sebelum pun still tak buat lagi.hehe.. 2011 banyak kenangan manis and pahit. Takpa la.yang penting, kita belajar so that, apa yang perlu, boleh di improve.

Jom buat checklist, nanti masuk tahun 2013 boleh cross yang mana patut.hehe

• first sekali, semoga Allah izinkan jodoh kami tahun ni
• habeskan pengajian yang sangatlah mencabar emosi and minda ni
• semoga dimurahkan rezeki utk dapat kerja best
• semoga dapat melawat tempat idaman hati.wah..
• lose around 10kg before june!paling susah..haha..takpa.cabaran
• live a healthy lifestyle.
• drink more plain water.susah juga sebab tak suka.
• khatam al-Quran before june.amin

sampai sini dulu.nanti masuk tahun baru kalendar Islam, ha kita berazam lagi.hehe...

centerpiece

Because of the wedding date is way too long, not too long actually hehe.. so lets start with simple one. Sebab bercadang nak DIY all the deco, so lets google everyone.

Too consider the DIY centerpiece,

1. budget-I'm on budget constrains, so everything should be save not splurge

2. can be recycled after that-save, boleh deco untuk rumah sendiri

3. Preferable artificial as it last long!

The theme for the reception not finalised yet, so I'll just start with my reeption day. I want something different from red roses that so popular, lagipun bercadang untuk guna roses jugak untuk handbouquet, so haruslah mencari yang rare. Lagipun, artificial senang ja nak cari yang rare and very cute. On my mind, I always think yellow or pink or red!hurm...sebabkan nanti nak guna balik, should consider flowers yang tak boring. Ha nanti habes kenduri boleh letak merata. Atas meja, dalam bilik, dapur, toilet, haha..so should consider it very well.

Here are something that I find very easy to manage,DIY, easily find and looks super chic. Plus I love very simple centerpiece, as my reception will held at my own house. From previous experience, they will used rectangular table, not the round table, except for VIP, not decide yet, so I think better guna yang kecik, comel, around 3-5 buds, and simple. Kang letak tinggi2 kang ganggu orang nak makan. nak letak atas meja yang super cinonet je!

Love how they arrange the roses in vase. credit to dreamshine.com

suka sebab in white and lilies. tapi tinggi.nanti menganggu tetamu, susah nak sembang.

credit to i dont know who!

love the colour plus its carnation.nampak full je bekas tu.boleh jimat cos if guna bekas letak lilin.then letak 2   or 3, dah siap!also, lupa copy dr mana

tulips!suka cara dia letak dalam bekas.

sebenarnya banyak lagi yang cantik-cantik and cun melecun. But for me, yang paling senang, cari bekas kaca yang murah as it will look expensive and boleh diguna after that. Or beli bekas garam gula from ikea. Lepas tu, boleh tutup and then, guna. Tak habes, bagi souvenir kepada makcik2 yang banyak tolong kan. Taknak la nanti membazir and terus tatau nak buat apa kn. For VIP tables, I love something yang tinggi. VIP tables maynot be too many, sikit saja kan. So boleh la splurge di situ. 

all about engagement

1. The pelamin and hantaran

tetiba dah tak jadi mini pelamin. but I'm glad that, apa yang di bagi sangat ok. infact terlebih ok for us. everything worth the money that we spent. Sebenarnya, book for other design but he called and said that, pelamin tercedera while diaorg turunkan dari lori. redha jerla. as long as ada pelamin lain, okey aje. he showed this design to me, I just agreed sbb dah takde choice. It turn out to be okay as I'm really satisfied with their work. You have to know your budget before book. It make it easier for him but not for you.haha..pening fikir ok!! I really love the hantaran, simple and look effortless.

2. The baju

My mom bought the kain from Mecca and sew it herself. save di situ. hehe.. nak hantar tailor, memang diaorang tak terima as this kain tak sampai 4m. With the bunga yang memanjang ke atas, memang lagi cerewet la all the tailor. senang, my mom je yg jahit as she know which angle yang boleh dijahit and di alter ikut kesesuaian. Veil and tudung, all from Gulatis. Mommy and sista bought this. I dont have any complain. love it!

3. The OP

Just took a package from a friend yang kebetulan memang took wed/engangement photo. Within budget I must said. So no complaint. Will received the edited pixs after this.

4. Foods and beverages

kuih-muih

All are home-cooked. Semuanya siap from pagi till noon. However, I don't have any clue bout this. Hehe..langsung tak menjenguk keluar. But, siDia said, its very good. Everyone satisfied and siap makan bertambah-tambah. Sampaikan lauk-pauk even nasi memang tak cukup. Tuan rumah makan last-last, tunggu second round.   Tuan rumah tak makan takpe, as long as all the guest happy. Received good review.Alhamdulillah.yang penting semua suka and went well.

5. The souvenirs

Eh, takde pic la pulak. But, it just a very simple bakul, hias dengan ribon and kuih sepit(or kapit) dlm balang yang dihias by my aunt. Bakul tu beli a day before the engangement. Kuih sepit all ordered by my mom. Langsung tak rasa, harapnya sedap la.

11.12.11

alhamdulillah..after a long year, we finally step into new phase. hehe..since today memang tak percaya langsung dh bertunang.haha..agaknya dah sebati ko dengan bf-gf. but, alhamdulillah..everything smooth sailing. banyak lagi dugaan yang of course, you won't be expecting at all. tapi harapnya, we both akan bersabar dan sentiasa dalam lindungan Yang Maha Esa. InsyaAllah..

On the day itself, memang kelam-kabut. I slept at 3 am, so memang dh tak peduli langsung la if our souvenir untuk pihak laki ok ke tak. yang penting, I just want to rest for a bit. Tapi, before tidur tu, dah ingat dah. I haven't sew my baju yet!ha..letih punya pasal. Dah langsung tak boleh bukak mata.

Haha. on the morning, bangun Subuh and then tetiba kena pegi ambil my aunt. Yang MUA dah call cakap nak sampi. Ah sudah, dgn tak mandi semua. I don't know what happen with my baju, or my souvenir or anything la.haha..teruk! rasa macam this is not my majlis. I just here to help other!haha..after a while, terus shoot balik rumah and cepat-cepat mandi.my sis tolong pasangkan cadar and kemas bilik. Dah memang tak ambil tahu dah. I just know that I have to get my makeup done!hehe..my mom and my aunt sibuk menjahit baju to. Redha jerla..

Pihak lelaki sampai around 10.30, I was with my friends, bising-bising, nyembang, camwhore. Rasa tak nervous langsung. Ceh..before that, punya la nervous. On that day, biasa je.kahkahkah..After they end their discussion, terus la panggil suruh keluar, sebab nak sarung cincin. Haa.. at that time, rasa nervous. eh cemana nak duduk ni.hehe..tak praktis. ahh..sudah, jangan terjatuh or duduk kurang sopan sudah.haha..

Dah habes sarung cincin semua, baru la ambil gmbar with the rest of the rombongan and with my family. Tapi, time sarung cincin, boleh pulak siDia berjalan-jalan?haha..siap his mom called sebab majlis dah habes and he need to come back home right now sebab nak amek pix together!I was waiting for him atas pelamin, bersimpuh ayu for near that 10mins. Wah..malu gila!terus turun buat-buat nak pergi dapur.haha..play with my niece la, geram betul!

Alhamdulillah.rasanya, I dont't have any complain. as long as both of the families are happy, so do us. I really thanks my family yang memang banyak tolong. Bangun pagi dah macam cinderella. Everything dah disiap deco.hehe..i dont't know sapa yang tolong deco, but I really thanks everybody. This is a very simple caremony, just to celebrate the engagement. The big W will approach. I will be very-very busy with the preparations, with my studies, letey! Hope that, till the date, we both can be very patience and can tolerate with each other!phew..
