mantilla veil

this veil is suupperrr gorgeous


hearttt :))

back on track again

major changes happening to my wedding prep

yang pasti, mah.ligai cre.ative (MC) will not be the vendors for both my nikah and sanding coz KA (formerly known as THE partner) tetiba rasa yg RM9K just for pelamins is wayyy to expensive..

to be honest, i think so too but kept my mouth shut all this while coz i really like MC and was pleased that we've booked them to be the vendor for pelamin. huhu. but KA put some sense to my *kelabu* mind yesterday and emphasized on how expensive they've charged actually..

but i really like MC still :( 

anyways, i dont know how but we've managed to come into a win-win situation..actually i think i yg byk "win"..huhuh..coz i've managed to persuade KA to still hire MC for nikah andddddddd RINS SU.ZANA for sanding! weeeeee....hehe...i like most of their bajus and since we will just rent out baju for sanding and ive thought abt RINS but tak sangka when KA called them yesterday nite, the wedding package which include pelamin hall, baju sanding for guy and girl equipped with accessories and all, plus makeup, 6 walkways anddd arch for rm4500 is still available!weeee...that would definitely save us sooo much more and the most important thing isss, KA agreed! :)

now what we've gotta do is just to fix an appointment with them and test baju. hopefully they have baju dress ala2 princessy and english themed colour pink and lavender plus male punya suit..huhu..cant waittttt :)

soo, till later :)

....

u have planned but sometimes the plans will not turn in your favour

crushed, sad and disheartened

ud think 4 years is a looongg time for you to put your faith in a relationship..ud think ur relationship is rock solid and nothing cud make it turn sour

"the past is like a handful of dust
it filters through your fingers 
disappearing..little by little 
i wish for one day, i could go back 
in another life i would do things differently.."

Baju Reception

This is super gorgeous....i like :)

Design from Ezzad Zikri





suits my theme color for the reception, only needs to add up pinks beads there :)

Wedding Updates

Last week, i went to my friend's wedding in Kulim. The bride and groom are my close friends and they have been solemnized on 11.11.11. Such a nice number, no? :)

Me and friends couldnt make it on that 11.11.11 itself, so we have only attended the reception. It was just another wedding that ive attended to. However, ive noticed that when we are getting married, we tend to examine all the details to every wedding a lil bit more. hehe..semua nak scrutinize, from pelamin, baju, kasut, food, pa system, hall deco...everything lah. and we start to make comparisons to OUR own soon-to-be wedding..hehe..am i the only one who felt this way? :)

anyhoo, last Sunday (12.11.2011),  ive managed to grab myself (or more appropriately, OURselves..hehe) the live bands that i have been eying on..THE RAW NOTES...

ive been particularly eying on azri from the raw notes coz i like the songs and how they have played the songs using the musical equipments..jazzy with a bit of classical hint..so after explanation by Jeff from the raw notes, ive made the booking for RM100 and another RM400 is to be settled by end of this month...another RM500 to be paid next year on May and the balance is of course, after the reception itself..

huhu..SUKEE..alhamdulillah :)

when i told my elder sis about it, she asked me to demo to her the songs by azri and the band..maybe the quality of the vid tak berapa bagus coz suara azri tenggelam dgn suara2 the guests..dengan gelak ketawanya...so we cant really hear his voice, and to top it off the songs that he sang was oldies songs, sorta slow and soothing..jazzy..

so sis said, tak sesuai la coz the selection of songs mcm lagu2 main dekat hotel lounge or coffe house...plus, tak berapa dgr.. i told her tgk pa system la. if pa system tak bagus then  mcm tu la bunyi dia..she asked me to google on azie and syed sobri. hello, they are artistes, i bet sure their service charge is thousands..sigh..takpelaa..so long as i have azri. maye i can work on the songlists..spice it up a lil bit...hehe...am considering p ramlee's songs :)

so, entertainment-settled :)

then we have also singgah D'Mawar Catering's booth...chit-chatted a bit but we found that D'Mawar is a tad bit expensive for our budget..terus i ajak my partner to go and see kak ros from Sri Payung..he has previously called Kak Ros before and from the way i see it, kak ros is friendly on the phone. the package that sri payung offers is also lebih byk drpd D'Mawar..so off we went to Sri Payung

Sri Payung is located dkt Taman Pandan Utama. The landmark is Masjid Al Falah. Very near to my house actually. Sampai-sampai, trus jumpa Kak Ros. She is one friendly lady, indeed. Full of tips and very kakak-kakak gitu. hehe. we instantly felt right at home talking and negotiating with her. chit-chatted and talked and after discussions, she gave us the quotations..

so, the quotation? very very reasonable :) siap ada kambing bakar lagi..hehe..
so all we need to do is to discuss with both parents and if everyting ok, pay the first RM500 to kak ros by end of december to lock the date :)

im not working today..so ive been hogging to the internet since morning..hehe..im currently surveying about tailors on the designs and price...and i saw this...


from syomir izwa..noiceee..

i like the material, the color, the hair, the flower, the bouquet..just like how ive always imagined myself on my engagement day :)

anyways, tgk dekat facebook all his (or is it her?pardon my buta-ness in the fashion-world..huhu) collections..cantik..but from the comments ive noticed it doesnt come with cheap prices..sighh..and i think syomir tu mcm sombong and arrogant je? from his/her facebook, several peeps asked on the prices and all and he/she replied in the most curtest way..thats rude, i think...hmm..jawap sepatah sepatah je and no sense of friendliness langsung? correct me if im wrong but i always feel that 1st appearance makes the biggest impact ok..

anyway, more research to do :)

toodles

Baju Tunang

last Monday, partner bought this mag for me :)



and suddenly, byk pulak dapat ideas for my dream baju tunang...

hasil from my magazine cut-out and ideas, presenting my Plan A and Plan B baju tunang... :)

                        Plan A



                        Plan B


Plan B is something like this (minus the heavy beaded veil and the top yg banyak kerawang2 tu and also the material for this bride is a bit satiny for my liking whereas mine, material is heavy chiffon and the detailing will be focused on the leher part, the hujung lengan and maybe hujung top tu) :-


yang mana satu pilihan hati? we shall wait and see :)

10.11.12-booked!!

hehe..

syukur alhamdulillah..went to the dewan today and checked..nobody has booked the dewan on 11.11.12.. :)

that means..i can be nikah'ed on 10.11.12 and have my recep on the next day on 11.11.12 :))

syukur alhamdulillah..hehe

after re-booking our date, we went to mahligai cre.ativ.e and changed our date. alhamdulillah, it was all breeze.nobody has booked the date.we further clarified abt the caterer as well, i.e mahligai se.ler.a.....apparently the caterer is also under mahligai cre.ativ.e, but parents dia punya

the verdict : so-so

takpela, i have one year and two days to go and check for the best caterer..hopefully i can find one with a good deal..and paling penting the deal includes meja and kerusi...

then went to jakel, got stucked there with desperate salesgirl who desperately wanted  us to purchase the kain and desperately didnt want to let us go..i was put in a very very uncomfortable situation, what with the salesgirl really pushing her luck for me to buy the kain and with the partner who constantly gave me the evil stare when i was about to melt with the offer..huhu... in the end, he won. we left without buying anything, not that we want to anyway.but the good thing is we now know our budget for our kain tunang. :)

our tunang punya theme colour : champagne..so we tried to mix and match the kain..from rm700+, they can give us rm450 and that is for both lelaki and perempuan..best ok!...i am solddd already but partner, being the ever sensible one, asked me to sabar and tungguu...huhu...so tunggu we will :)





also, go-see this one kwsan perumahan in kampung lanchong, in the township of so-called subang jaya..why i purposely put there 'so-called' is because it is not really in the township of subang i think, mcm dah ke ulu sgt dah..purchase price is rm330k..my view : definitely not a good investment. dahla ulu sgt, then it is constructed right smack out of nowhere..dahla jauh from the town, jalan masuk dan keluar ada satu je, which is such a turn-off coz jalan tu betul2 mcm nak masuk ke kampung...no-no u-uh..BIG NO NO..kensell

then, went to one damansara coz we intended to check on the progress (sebenarnya nak kuatkan hati ni takmo tgk rumah lain..hehe)..found out that dah naik level 6 dah..yeayy :) really hope that we can masuk the house in december :)


lepas tu, jln2 that area and found one new residential township with nice double-storey houses. most of the purchase price that we have inquired by calling the agent is around the range of rm7++k..huwaaaa :( terus down kejap as it has been my longtime dream to own a landed property.. :( partner comforted me with his ayat2 bunga and i was calmed :)


after that, jumpa our photog n videographer. major problem. we wanted to change the date but apparently ada org dah book and paid the depo before us and that couple's wedding is also on the very same date that we have chosen.huwaaaa...its only ethical that the couple should be given the priority but still, I WANT MY PHOTOG & VIDEOG..met the owner and his wife and they are such a pleasing lot, friendly and warm. but too bad we have to let them ago or if we intend to keep them, we can only use their services for photog only..the couple who booked them first on that day can only re-confirm their dates by early next month, whether they are going to use my photog &videog on 10.11.12 & 11.11.12 or 09.11.12 & 10.11.12... so i guess we need to pray hard and just wait of there is rezeki on our part to use them instead of the first couple...


all in all, such a profitable day


10.11.12...bring it onnn baybeh :))

Tunang/Wedding Prep

been bz these couple of days with works and stuffs

but without fail, every night i would spent almost 2 hours surfing and finding ideas about my engagement/wedding..hehe...excited

initially we have made booking with D*ven**, but when a lady was so kind in sharing her bad experience with them, I cringed and was shocked to the max...bila nak booking, semua boleh buat..manis betul mulut..but later when majlis dah habis, only 70% of the things that was agreed upon was given to the poor lady..the rest? hampeh..for instance, how can a bride takde her hand bouquet?..kesian dia..so, partner terus cakap suruh cancel and go for different vendors..tskkk 

tu lah nak murah sgt..@-@

so for wedding, we have decided not to opt for packages..we will try to go by items..for example, for pelamin org ni buat...for baju org lain pulak...etc etc...oklah kan drpd amek packages yang belum tentu lagi that vendor excels  dalam semua benda.so better take vendor who is specialized in that particular item that they are offering :)

so anyway, as at today, updates for tunang/kawin are as follows :-

tunang :-
as we have decided not to continue with D*ven**, we've decided to try and carik vendor lain..so, so far :-

1. berjaya book makeup dgn kak laila rohani tv3 who was responsible in making eira syazira and nurul syuhada SUPERBLY GORGEOUS on their wedding day..woot! huhu..i was soooooo elated coz i had been searching high and low for the makeup artist who did the makeup for eira syazira coz i thought she looked really sweet and gorgeous during nikah. soo, dah jumpa thru one of the B2B's blog..immediately called her and she didnt say ok right away as she needed to check her schedule and promised me to call me later. well, one day has passed after that and she didnt return the call even after i texted her after that to remind her to contact me after she has checked her diary. being the TAK SABAR as i am, hehe, i called her again today and terus she apologized coz she was bz and she checked her diary right there and then and walla, the rest is history..hehehe....suka sgt..alhamdulillah..she was friendly and nice..tak sabar for her to makeup my whole entire face and hair. fyi, rm500 is the charge and that incudes hair and accessory, makeup and transport. very reasonable..and best part is i can pay after she has done her job in making me beautiful :) -settled

2. food- masak sendiri..need to give papa rm1k and he will settle it for me..suka :) -settled

3. baju- for partner, i would buy and send his kain to dzul de classique since i heard good reviews about them. and sorta cheap too for the workmanship. so that is considered done (done as in ive thought abt it and no need to risau pasal baju dia eventho kain tak beli lagi..hehe).. for myself, still havent decided but i know that i want to buat baju sendiri coz that'll would also be my baju raya *save budget* hehe..the tailor?havent decide yet. style pun tak sure lagi. kdg2 nak buat simple je but kdg2 gediks nak buat baju cantik2 over gitew sbb it'll be baju tunang cum baju raya..huhu..tbc -to re-confirm

4. hantaran - still havent decide yet whether to DIY or to send it and let other ppl do it. have to do the costing whether DIY lagi murah or send it to other ppl..-to re-confirm

5. pelamin and khemah - pun sama..need to find vendors who can make these two items under rm1k..the pelamin, biasa2 pun takpe..just the khemah, i wanna have the transparent khemah with all the fairy lights. gediks, i know..hehe..hmm, maybe i can use D*ve*** only for these two items (kalau desperate sgt).. -to re-confirm

6. photographer / videographer - as much as i like it to be video-ed, but i know mesti nanti lari budget. sobs. so, need to find photographer yg gambar dia cantik but less than rm500. can kah? uuhukk... -to re-confirm

7. hand bouquet/kasut - kasut perlu kah? duduk dalam rumah je pun kan? what about hand bouquet? do i need one since it's only tunang, no? sigh. tbc - to re-confirm

so far, tu je la

wedding :-

went to pameran pengantin dkt sacc mall and have grabbed ourselves few good deals...

1. pelamin - very very very happieeee coz we've booked Mahligai Creative for both nikah and sanding. i really like their work and cant wait for them to create pelamins yg meletops for my special day..hehe..eventho a tad bit expensive for our liking, but kawin hanya sekali (that'll be my mantra until my wedding day comes..hehe)...so considered, done -settled

2. photographer/videographer - partner loves them eventho i was a  bit put off by the way their front man (front man ke) market their works. he was soooo gung-ho, ala2 'ok boleh bang'', 'oh tu ke?boleh bang..bolehhhhh'...over confident gitu. but i guess, ada ke org nak market their own company dgn bersifat pemalu dan ckp mcm ni 'oh tu ke? em tak tau la bang. boleh kotttt".."oh nak mcm tu? em, tak pernah buat la..takut pulak".. hahh? bikin stress pada client jek ckp mcm tu..hehe.. so evendo i was bummed (sebenarnye sbb tak dpt LH Media..hehe) but it was allrite..seeing their packages (2 events, photog and video, plus ada pre-wedding, out door and save the date lagi for rm3900) i was ok la..ive seen their works, quite good la..so, doa je yg terbaik..oh lupe, we have paid booking and the vendor is Maze Lensa Studio -settled

yg lain2, tak settle2 lagi esp bab makanan. have to find the perfect one..am focusing at several vendors, mcm sri payung, sri angsana...sajian dhidang dah bagi quotation but masha Allah, mahal gila...tak cukup budget :(

tomorrow nak check out this one landed property in subang, hopefully that'll turn out good. insya Allah, aminn :)
