hall decorations

suddenly i have this call to do hall inspection by next month. seriously dari awal booking hari tu i dgn my entourage xgi lagi hall tu, jumpe PIC n discuss further on our time, what else to rent, what else do we get to rent n all that.

terase takut jgak bile langsung xdpt discuss secara bersemuka dgn that PIC. selama ni we just communicated through phone calls n emails. *bare with me as i skrg dh masuk zone cuak. ape2 pun i akan carik point utk cube cuak. well, i have 7more months to cuak. yikes!*

basically hall pelamin mmg dh settle. tgh dlm proses utk complete kan payment. insyallah, semua akan berjalan lancar kalau ikut kan my plan. however, my pelamin package just include all those pelamin thingy + walkways n baju n make up n all that stuff.

tgk la gambar hall i yg i jumpe kt google ni. aiyark.. togel je. rata je. dh la melaut. wuuuu.. dh mule risau lg. xkan nk dibiar dinding hall bogel mcm ni. 

if only i bole transform my hall jd mcm ni..

tgk smbil gigit kuku.. cantiknye abg arjuna oii.. i dh tanye diorg whats the price n fyi, its no way u can get this for below than 10k. hamboi.. nk hulur 1k pun tgn i dh menggigil, ni kan 10k. sigh. 

there is another option n this could cost me less. in fact it is cheaper than the wall deco diatas.

the one yg kat atas tu is by my WP as well. have yet to discuss with them. yg bwh plak by [kamalinda caterers]. kalo ikut nafsu serakah aku ni alamat meletup2 la lagi budget aku. tolong la esok ujan turun duit. kasi la aku chance.. =(

ok la, si fira kalo melalut mmg mengarut. tah ape la die epek2 kan ni. well, cume nk note angan kahwin aku je. slmt tdo semua kawan2 b2b. semoga mimpi indah.

nota mimpi : ade ke mlm kelmarin i mimpi i kahwin with my current body figure n teramat la upset with myself. tertekan xdpt kurus kan badan. adakah ini amaran.. *padahal skrg ni tgh ade plan nk msk maggi lepas post entry* subhanalah..

guests wishes idea

yellop! today, i just nk share some findings yg i jumpe xlain dan xbukan dr search engine yg sgt baik n ramah, google.

now, ape yg slalu kite nmpk when it comes to guests' wishes area? wish tree? guest book? wish bowl? wish flags? tell u what.. pusing2 mane pun idea nye die jadi mcm tu gak. its all up to ur creativity n how meaningful u want it to be. some people may like it on the guest book cz sometimes kalo ade extra polaroid camera bole terus tepek gambar kat situ. wish tree, it require the guest to put some effort on making the tree pretty. wish flag, of cz guest will have to complete it sampai penuh. 

senanye cite pjg2 ni sbb nk kongsi lagi satu idea. i ni senanye peminat super setia desperate housewives. u know bree? housewife yg plg terer masak n gile neat? u guys prasan mane die letak all her recipes? well, tu yg i nk share. the recipe box look something like this :

get the idea? i rase i nk try gune idea ni. simple je. lepas abis bole terus tutup n simpan smpai bile2. xpayah nk petik2 dr pokok or susun blk dari mangkuk. 

ok. dh excited. tgk je la bile i mule working on this. i'll definitely cat2, lukis2 n tampal2 the box with pretty things. silap2 ade gak org bertukang apply kemahiran hidup blk kt mende ni nnt. =P

till next time! happy weekend!

wedding preps #4 - double cross!

ok.. mari berpositif (tapi hakikat nye masih upset)

2things to be crossed out of my checklist which jugak dh mengcomplete kan checklist i utk the month of march.

decorator

kursus kahwin

i harap sijil kursus i bole diprint semula walaupun perlu dibayar. wahh.. i sounds bongkak n seperti tidak reti menghargai sijil. but hey, sijil tu dh terbang tah jauh dimana. what do u expect me to do? seat kursus blk? why should i? bnde baru kan bkn lame. its not dat i lupe ape yg ustaz ustazah tu ceramah kan. try me! n of cz, i bkn sengaje. hehehe.. awal2 dh stand by jawapan kalo diorg refuse to print sijil i tu blk. tp rase nye xkut. i akan admit sume silap i n td kt kursus diorg dh ckp, kalo ade correction, kne byr rm3 utk reprint semule. kes i bole kire mcm tu la jgak kan. nway, lets pray for the best. insyallah..

move on

skrg, officially i akan menggunakan khidmat decorator ren-da belleza utk function2 dirumah. alhamdulillah.. td dh settle byr deposit. as per deal, diorg akan provide kan i :

i . mini pelamin (+ seat on chair. xmo duduk simpuh2 or bersila2)

ii . handbouquet

iii . 200pcs of thank you tags

iv . 100pcs of personalized popcakes

v . candy buffet

vi . centrepieces

vii . canopy decorations

ni sume i amik sempena package 2011 promo yg bakal abis 30hb ni. sib baik sempat catch up. compare dgn harga decorator lain, so far yg ni rase mcm lebih berbaloi2.

ingat xhari tu i ade mention pasal decorator yg not yet hired tu? actually, mereka la org nye. yg baik, manis, sweet, sabar plak tu tunggu i walaupun i lmbt. so far, rase selesa dgn service diorg. 

k la.. xde mood nk cite byk. sakit ati, sakit jiwa, sakit otak, mcm2 sakit lg. rase cm nk terjun kbmall je. ohh!! sungguh frustrated. =( 

 

loving their mini pelamins, loving their candy buffet, loving their handbouquet, loving it, loving it, loving it!

nikah theme color

something elegant, something romantic, something chic n the most important is something yg sejuk mate memandang. since i planned to have a beautiful, cute n sweet reception, so utk nikah i nk die lebih elegant and romantic for me n azam to enjoy. so i decided to go for hydrangea blue hues on the theme color.

n since i try utk focus on the night event, hopefully the color will stand out beautifully. well, rase mcm skit susah. but will try our best. n harap2 jgak the chosen wedding decorator can pull off this color utk mlm dgn cantik skali. reason knp suke warne ni pun sbb die nmpk mcm senang nk dibuat. its just a kind of blue with a little bit of pink. erm... lebih kurang mcm my color for the reception, but its a bit darker. lgpun warne ni mcm senang nk masuk dgn warne putih. so, bole la masuk dgn canopy putih standard yg murah tu. heeee... *dasar cheapskate* but tgk pelamin marion caunter warne mcm ni mcm cantik je.. cer tgk.. cer tgk..

photo credit

but instead of kerawang2 yg mcm warne silver tu, maybe i akan cut cost lg dgn hanye gune kain putih as backdrop. ahhh... reti la wedding decorator tu nnt. name pun die decorator. so far tgk kerja die sume mcm awesome je. 

n then td mase borak dgn cuzzy, elya, i mmg siang2 dh ckp yg my candy buffet nnt mmg xmo attract budak2 pun. hehehe... kejam gile kan. but of cz la all the candies budak2 tu bole mkn. but will try to avoid fancy colors yg memanggil2 budak n use something yg lebih 'adult' mayb. hurmm... tetibe ade la pulak warne panggil budak n warne pggl org dewasa kan..

photo credit

but pk2 blk, bdk2 bkn nye kire warne tu panggil die ke x. kalo die dh nmpk cupcakes, chocolates, candy sume kat atas tu confirm diorg belasah je. so, i will ask a favor from a cuzen to tolong tgk2 kan my candy buffet. jgn kasi die comot2. *now i sounds like org yg xsuke bdk. but i suke actually. seriously. no joke*

photo credit

haa... so, dh bole la kalo nk handbouquet mcm ni. td konon ckp dgn cuzzie elya xmo handbouquet hydrangea. ni dh bertukar fikiran pulak dah. tehehe...rase nye masuk la kut dgn warne baju impian hari tu [link]

actually byk je lg nk share but nnt la. pnat la. lgpun blom pun byr deposit kat wedding decorator tu. but insyallah, i'll stick to her n she'll also stick with me. we had a deal verbally. tp tu la, selagi xbyr n xdpt receipt, agak susah skit nk declare in public. but insyallah la, nnt bile dh btol2 deal, i'll reveal siapakah gerangan yg akan bertanggungjawab merealisasikan sume2 diatas ni utk i. ttyl n good luck! hugs!

W-preps progress : #3 "Wedding Decorator : not yet hired"

too bad.. deal yg patutnye di close hari ni xdpt nk disettle kan due to some unforeseen circumstances. xpela, xsengaje kan. however, lega sbb dpt jumpe my soon-to-be decorator tu. at least dpt discuss on wht i want n everythng. she's such a lovely lady. seronok jgak lepak dgn die. mmg mcm ni eh kalo nk kawin? as we go meet n greet our vendor sume nye akan turn out mcm lepak2 dgn membe2. best la. i suke!

walaupun i xdpt nk byr deposit tu hari ni, but its consider as booked cz i mmg sepatutnye bayar hari ni. but to us (me n azam) selagi kitorg xdpt any prove of payment, kitorg mmg xbrani nk serah duit. xkire la bank-in or cash. we just dont want to do that. so another appointment will be arrange probably next weekdays or another next weekdays. target tetap nk kne achieve. by april, sume ni dh nk kne cross dh. sobs, kalo xmlm ni dh bole cross satu..

n since decorator involve byk jgak bnde2 detail, i mmg nk kne review balik sume bnde starts from the theme color, concept, hand bouquet nk yg mcmane n byk lagi. sebelum ni xbrape nk amik port sgt pasal bnde2 mcm ni. so, i better start browsing now.. erk.. i mean esok lepas tdo n bile free. till then.. 

TTYL

after nikah party..

owh.. sejak kebelakangan ni progress preparation mmg selembab2 alam. tatau ape lg nk dibuat. dgn workload yg melampau. ckp nk call wp pun xcall. ckp nk download borang kursus kawin pun xdownload2. tp walau mcmane pun my wedding dream always ade dlm kpale. asal ade free time je, msti tefikir.. haa.. nk buat ape ni. nk carik ape ni. nk beli ape ni. tp xbuat2 pun.

tp, hopefully by this week i bole close deal dgn satu decorator ni. ingat xdkt satu entry ni yg i did mention konon nk buat majlis nikah kat rumah. well, walaupun rumah skit sempit but i still hope yg proposal ni akan diluluskan oleh org2 tua my family. in terms of space wise i tau yg peluang agak tipis but pls la.. i dont expect too many guest pun. i really want my CLOSEST family n friends je yg join.

n ingat xsatu entry ni [link] yg i ckp i nk buat my so-called mlm berinai in javanesse theme. actually that idea still lg diingin2 kan.n thats y jugak la tgh dlm usaha nk close deal dgn satu decorator ni minggu ni jgak. takut promo die abis plak nnt. tempted dgn diorg punye promotion. nway, i dont really like to call that night as mlm berinai sbb i pun bkn fancy mlm berinai tu. so, kite twist skit n call it after nikah party. hehehe.. wild skit.. =)

besides mini pelamin, i nk ade candy buffet jgak on that special night. nway to those yg xtau, reason knp kitorg pick date 23rd december tu adalah dgn 2sebab. 1st sebab hari tu jgak is my adik's birthday n hari tu jgak is my FFIL's birthday. so in one nite there'll b 3celebrations. so, was thinking with a candy buffet msti akan bertambah meriah mlm tu. pastu sib baik gak dlm promo yg i tgh aim ni ade include candy buffet skali. yay!!

khemah plak, xmo pasang byk2. paling byk 4. but 3pun ok. pasang dpn umah. kne tutup jln skit. tp lantak la. org lain kawin bole tutup, aku pun nk gak tutup. hehehe.. so utk mlm tu i berhasrat utk menggunakan as much lights as possible. lanterns or fairy lights or perhaps both... uwww...

ini angan2..

ni pun angan2 tp possible jgak senanye.. lek je..

ni mcm possible jgak. my diy team sure ok je.. hehe..

 

 ni mcm lebih realistic. hehehe.. ape yg xrealistic nye dgn yg ni. dh mmg standard pun cenggini. hurm..

terjumpe pic ni kat google. am so gonna do the same on my hse's sliding door.

so, that is on the khemah punye part. untuk bwh khemah pun i dh plan utk buat extra special. unlike the ordinary, mlm tu ingat xnk byk2 meja. so, satu meja je cukup. a long one of cz. mcm ni baru la lebih intimate. since we're now a family so, jom mkn same2 satu meja. utk ade org serve tu mcm mengarut la. i still ingat yg i live on earth n on earth i ni xla kaya rayap so, mayb bole buat mkn yg mmg dh siap hidang atas meja. how i wish mlm tu bole masak2 sendiri je. tetamu pun bkn ramai sgt. dlm pade tu bole la skali tunjuk skill my family dlm memasak. heee..

 haih.. kalo dpt mcm ni kan alangkah indah nye..

tp rase nye yg mcm ni lebih terdaya. yupp2, mmg nk makanan dh siap2 atas meja. tp lilin as deco n petals2 xmo tinggal. weee...

eh, terngantok la plak. tdo jap kang mlm smbung *tah pape tah*.. bye!

kalau dah jodoh tak kan kemane

"kalau ade sumur diladang,

bole hamba menumpang mandi,

kalau ada umur yang panjang,

boleh la kita berjumpa lagi"

maaf, pantun diatas xde kene mengene dgn topik. saje nk tunjuk bijaksana bile dah tajuk dia pun sekian rupe.

hari ni hari yang sikit membanggakan bile kaklin tetibe msg kt no. bb yg telah di-barred tu mengatakan yg die mase tu tgh ade kt rumah Wani - Kerja Kahwin!! fyi, my sis is a journalist kt magazine nona merangkap owner blogshop tudung PoppinScarf (jenguk la kalo sudi). kalo bace magazine nona tu cube tgk editorial dia, carik name my sister. *gile market aku ni* so, msg die berbunyi begini

"pelamin fira sape buat nnt? kaklin kt umah wani KerjaKahwin ... dia buat pelamin fresh flower dewan rm 2.++ k je. konsep moroccan. lawa gile."

ok, time bace tu stumble kjap sbb mase tu tgh kt pkns duplicate kan kunci boss. so, terus terberenti dpn kdai kek tu konon nk reply msg kaklin. aku ni dh la jenis type msg pk 2-3 kali nk susun ayat. ahh.. ini xle jadi. call terus. dlm hati berkata2, "kaklin, xyah la nk ckp ayat last tu. fira dh tau n paham sgt." itu adalah sgt penting utk bgtau kaklin yg aku ni mmg minat sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt sgt kerja2  hasil KerjaKahwin ni. tgk la entry yg previous2 ni. skit2 KerjaKahwin. ari tu mase dpt quotation pun gile excited sampai rase mcm nk confirm dan2 tu jgak. but sib baik hati ni tegar lagi nk tggu next bridal carnival kt sacc.

so today, bile kaklin dh tetibe buat havoc dgn berita sedemikian lagi la adrenaline ni pumping mencurah2 utk hire KerjaKahwin. dlm telecon bersama kaklin tu sempat mintak die bedek cik Wani tu. tah la mkn saman ke x. xla mengharap sgt. *padahal berharap gile* 

jadi hari ni, kaklin dh membantu sikit2. azam pun all set je. *mcm xcaye* sume nye mcm xckp byk je bile KerjaKahwin ni yg jadi pilihan. which is kinda like very2 good kan. tp tgk la hujung minggu ni mcmane. berbalik kepada tajuk,

kalau dah jodoh tak kan ke mana

entrance deco yg super unique. mcm mary poppins!

the main table deco. drool...

chiavaries idaman semua

gile excited nk pegang hand bouquet mcm ni

nak DI BERI hantaran mcm ni. gagaga...

wedding ala jawa?

yeah, saya la si jawa itu. both atok frm mak abah's side dua2 pun mmg pure jawa. yupp, mereka jawa totok. but since dh kawin dgn nenek2 yg xberapa jawa, so dh xbrape pure la jawa tersebut. nway, mak azam pun org jawa jgak. so basically we consider ourself as Javanese. ngeee.. very proud being one. walaupun setgh org ske make fun dgn bahase kitorg but wht to do. dh mmg mcm tu bunyik nye. im sure zaman dulu, org jawa pun pelik dgn bahase2 lain. to be honest, i sendiri xpandai ckp jawa. setakat siji loro telu tu pandai la. wes mangan/madang? haa.. reti jawap?

nway, i suddenly have this in mind. bukan la nk kawin ikut adat org jawa, but nk bring the culture a lil bit closer. kalo xsebelum ni bayangkan yg indah2 belaka. smpai lupe yg diri tu jawa. so, i planned to nikah at my house on friday the 23rd somewhere aftr asar. so far mak abah ok je. request utk dinikah kan oleh abah pun hampir tercapai. alhamdulillah, abah agree. serious mase mintak tu begging mcm nk gile. hehehe.. dh agak, abah mesti nervous. but for his n mine, lifetime experience, why not. lps ni abah dh xde anak pompuan lagi. i mean, utk dikahwinkan. azam pun sgt happy cz then he'll b less nervous cz die actually pun dh biase dgn abah.

ok now, how jawa do i want my special day to be. mayb in terms of the elements. n tidak la akan dipraktikan mase bersanding. but dianggarkan waktu malam berinai would b great. hey, i wont wear those scary jawa outfit eh. (maaf jika ia sikit sensitif tp to me baju kawin org jawa agak menakut kan. especially the bride. lukisan2 rambut tu je dh mcm nk mkn org) budget, an ordinary kebaya indonesia should b nice enough. lps tu bole pakai lagi lain kali. same goes to azam. i just want him to wear the ordinary baju batik with just seluar slack hitam. duduk main kawin2 atas mini pelamin. n join the crowd. nk linger2 dgn guest while swaying to the unique sound of java music.

The typical? no no

Dian sastro mmg cantik. but the baju's (especially yg groom die pakai) n the hair do, is a big no no.

this is actually how a jawa's pelamin should b. but xmo la. i prefer it simple.

the outfit

uww.. design ni cantik. only if the blouse were in brown. something like nude brown. weee...

ni pun super drop dead gorgeous. n yeah same cm yg kt atas. i wish its brown in color.

n azam is to wear something that looks a lil' like this.

decorations, something brown-ish of cz. with a lil' compliments by bunga2  harum sundal malam and candles. perfect!

 little pelamin for my little house

makanan, pecal, a must have. soto n what not biar pakar jawa yg decide. guest yg blk, msti dibawakkan berkat. n so far itu je la style jawa yg dpt difikirkan. weekend ni ade wedding cuzie kt kampung. jap lagi nk join wak2 kat kampung tu pstu nk interview skit. hehehe.. loving my new idea!

kutipan pertama

kerja kutip mengutip telah pun bermula. n my first kutipan is paper lanterns yg to me sgt chumell.. (remember me saying that for my wedding ni xpasal2 taste berubah menjadi geli gurlish?) nway, i just got back from OU. tah knp mood azam hari ni, angin xde, ribut xde, taufan dan tau fu fa xde, die ajak aku shopping. sudah masyuk kah? xmo tanye byk, seriously im not those type yg bother duit my partner. kalo btol rezeki lebih, alhamdulillah. cume satu peringatan adinda (chewah) berjimat cermat la. jgn boros. kalo poket u grand, kawin kite pun grand. 

TOPIC!!!!

so, selepas pencarian bag n kasut sudah selesai (seperti yg dijanji kan) kami pun teruskan perjalanan. about last year semase Y.E.S, kitorg ade nmpk this one cool paper lantern yg comel dan berwarna warni. comel... (berape kali nk ckp comel ni) actually, since i first saw it mmg dh terpesona dan tergoda dgn kecomelannya (tgk, comel lg) time tu ade rase nk beli but since xdecide so much about the theme n color lg so impian tu terbantut. was thinking, bende mcm ni jual kat Cotton On? hurm.. xbyk la tu stock die. but guess what, td gi Cottton On lg, lantern tu masih ade. woot2!!! mmg harus la aku beli. memule rase mcm nk borong sume tp.. saye perlu discuss dgn tukang design saye nnt ttg penggunaan nya. ni pun main beli je, nk buat utk ape pun xtau lg.

price for 10pcs adalah RM59. i bought two designs which consist of 2boxes. so RM59 for each box. tp yg bestnye, Cotton On tgh ade offer skrg. so when u buy more than 1 items, u'll get the 2nd item with 50% off. jd utk 20bijik paper lantern yg comel, cume RM80 je. (harap penggunaan 'je' tu btol since the size is quite small) 

jd, paper lantern itu berupa begini,

tadaaaa...

actually, there are about 2more designs. tp 2 ni yg paling menepati warna tema saya. so, wht do u think? i think its great. skrg tgh pk mane nk letak bende ni. adakah boleh dibuat begini,

atau begini,

atau begini,

owh, nway.. paper lantern ni come with fairy light jgak tau. kalo dh pasang sgt dramatic mcm ni,

weee..

so, to anyone yg interested, sila la dpt kan nya kt Cotton On. bole brush up skit skill diy kite. cume xsure je if its available at all Cotton On outlet or cume kt OU je. Arios!
