MY WEDDING PREP - WEDDING DRESS + DESIGNERS/TAILOR

Hayyy~


fast entry..! yeay made a few calls/emails to a few designers and boutiques..ada yg reply cepat, ada yg still xreply, maybe the fact that they are students so no time to check emails/answer calls...ada yg within budget, ada yg out of budget..ada yg out of budget but i believe i CAN @ MAMPU by end of this year.. haha.. pathetic T_T

Now my head is stuck with wedding/reception dresses..anywhere i surf/blogwalking, i only focus on the dress.. arghhh.. whyyyy...

YES OR NO? OR YNO?

HELP..

Raya dilemma....nak ke taknak..nak ke taknak..nak ke taknak beli baju raya...huhu help me..i cant decide...!!!should i spend money and go shopping for new baju raya n other new stuffs? or should i just keep my money for my survival+wedding stuffs next month??

 WHY I SHOULD
"YES GO AHEAD AND SPLURGE FOR RAYA"

1. Our last raya as a single/bujangs.. haha
2. My fiance meowgagah tetibe excited nak shoppin cos cuti raya dia approved. Last week mcm xbersemangat je bila boss dia ckp xapprove. now it's otherwise. lucky him 
3. I need new baju kurung yg nice2 to attend weddings in future (do i? o.O)
4. FFIL might come by on the 1st of raya. And other relatives too.mesti la nak vogue sket..
5. My younger bro alias just a bought a nice orangy-hipterish baju melayu johor. kena level ngan dia..haha ;p
6.Everywhere SALE...!!
7. It's raya..!!! why freakin not??


 WHY I SHOULDN'T
 "EMMM..ALA..XPE LA XPAYAH LAAA.."

1. NO BONUS or ANGPAU from company. Pffffft *rage*
2. Save remaining money which i have now (rm250 to be exact..haha) to contribute to mama ( for barang2 masak n all dat)
3. Save for duit raya anak2 buah (last year rm50each, maybe this year kurang sket)huhu..
 4. Although gaji masuk within a few days lagi, that money should be kept for pay bills/hutangs/survival until end of SEP
 5. need 25% of my pay to byr deposit transparent canopy
 6. Instead of beli baju raya, better buy a freakin camera or own lappy for personal use (quite pathetic thinking that i NEVER own one T_T)
7. Since im officially out from temporary house in subang, expenses might increase for fuel and toll from damansara.. plan to move to puchong with SIL still pending..
8. Baju tunang still ok n baru pakai sekali.pakai je la ape yg ade..


HELP! T_T

MY WEDDING PREP - WEDDING DRESS + DESIGNERS/TAILOR + DIY PELAMIN + BUDGET BRIDE + PROJECT:X

Hi alls,

*WARNING-SUPER LONG ENTRY*

Ok title atas agak confusing.. cos i pun xtau nak letak title ape for this post cos i akan buat secara pukal. yang i tau i juz wanna share wat's been up in my mind lately (today actually)..hehe.. da byk blogwalking from morning, and a few things caught my eyes and also triggered my semangat untuk DIY project:x....

thinking..thinking..thinking..

1. OF WEDDING DRESS
dari dulu contemplate nak buat ngan tailor biasa or designer...the things i worry :

       a. tailor     = within budget and murah BUT takut ape yang nak x kesampaian n byk probs
       b. designer = mahal and out of budget BUT outcome yg walah

but before i say anything, mmg ade tailor2 yang bagus and recommended kat kl nie.. but, ye ke dorang ni tailor? ntah2 level designer kot? ntah la..confuse guee..im not so good in 'categorizing' them. and at the same time, ade gak designers yg byk probs jugak..need i mention here? nah..rase korang tau2 je sape kan..

kalau designers, there's heaps of them.. the 5stars (ZZ, HD, HO, NER, RR), Nurita Harith, Kheme, Arma, Rico Rinaldi, Jovian Mandagie, Aleng Tohara, Sharifah Kirana, Radzwan Radzill, Amir Luqman, Syaiful Baharim, Syomir Izwa, Qudyn, Salikin Sidek, Rizalman Ibrahim (oh kalau la i dpt dress from him i akan pengsan sebulan ;p)..and the list goes on..

I always checkout latest designers collections and works (HERE) . ASH i love ur job..!! ;p Elya pun penah gak buat post about dis matter (HERE) . oh wait, i think most of us does.. T_T but, i guess, kenalah berpijak di bumi yg nyata (wah ayat formal!). honestly i dont have the budget, but xnak lah cheapskate sgt kan..i think voley la spend extra sket for my wedding dress.. i definitely dunwan to face so much trouble/drama/problem with the designer/tailor...huhu.. Ya Allah jauh2kan la...
 
so far i xde lagi rasa nak survey harga2 from the designers above, cos da bleh agak kot range of price dorang.. and confirm xmampu punye..i better avoid myself getting frustrated.. i wish i could help you all by doing a list but, like i said..dunwan to get myself frustrated.. So now, there's a few places which i THINK i mampu and want to survey and check em out after raya...

 a. Butik Lagenda@Maju Junction
After getting so many reviews from other ex-brides (Sara, Nadya, Yaya, Maneesa) and also brides-to-be missX yuyu and fie, i must checktout this place..is so tempting lah.. :D


b. Mimpi Kita@Bangsar 
i havent seen/heard any B2Bs hiring Mimpi Kita but i dunno why i have that strong feeling nak jugak check them out.. love their dresses on celebs.. plus dekat jer ngan my meowgagah's second home bangsar :D


c. Upcoming and fresh designers
why them? why not? for me yg veteran2 sudah tentu xmampu noks.. why not helping these young+fresh designers adding their portfolios and also 'promote' them? And also, i think they have 'fresh' ideas instead of the same 'signature' looks from the veteran/known designers.. ;)
the list of new talents i found :-
  • Hariz Zakwan
  • Alief Rahman
  • Afiq Mohamed
  • Akmal Ariffin
  • Nazreen Idris
  • uitm students.. alamak bila nak carik xjumpa pulak..kat fb berlambak jer but i cant access FB now so xleh nak letak sini skang.. T_T  *nak tau nape ade nama i strike?pls email me to know more.. tq ;)

    d. Tailor/boutiques/designers@Kajang
     
    is it just me? or mmg betul kat kajang ada byk butik/tailor yg bagus2? Man Kajang, Kimie Kajang, Zul de classique.. all of them kat kajang kan?ramai giler brides buat baju ngan dorang n i heard their rates pun reasonable and mampu untuk org mcm i nie..


    So okeh, kena set calendar.after raya buat keje2 di atas ok..jgn nak procrastinate renee!


    2. OF TRANSPARENT CANOPY
    Yeay! my dream almost came true... well, almost that is.. dulu penah share about transparent canopy for my solemnization  HERE and da siap buat survey pown HERE . ada yg mahal, and ada yg murah.. so far paling murah is basic is rm400, tatapi byk nak kene add on kalau nak fan, fairy lights etc and end up almost rm600 n above.. xberbaloi la plak n thought of mcm nak diy sendri fairylights+fan+chandeliar je..but last week i found this..! thanks to Sheila for sharing.. wee.. rm500 only for complete set..! siap ada fairy lights+fan+chandeliar+chairs+tables+chair covers+runner. seriously worth it.. i called them last friday and will meet them this week to pay deposit... cepat2 promo lasts during this month jer..


    Check out their fb (YSA Wedding & Events) for further info yea.. :D


    3. OF DIY PELAMIN
    As mentioned earlier (wait, did i? o.O) , i dont have a high budget..yes im a budget bride..i repeat, BUDGET BRIDE.. thanks to myself due to no savings (kan nyesal) and very high monthly maintenance (car, cred card, loan, fuel+toll to work). before u say anything, lemme tell u i dont have cred card now, all the hutangs are from my previous relationship which i dont want to story2 here or i will cry, kapish? past is past..T_T all i can say now is Thank Allah i found a good and responsible man who never used me, never mistreated me, never cheated on me,etc,etc..i know my meowgagah will take good care of me.. :)

    ok where was i.. oh yes, DIY pelamin.. oh jgn terkejut im not going to DIY my pelamin reception..xlarat noks.. i MIGHT diy my own pelamin rumah for nikah.. actually mama ckp no need pelamin n all dat, so definitely mama+daddy dunwan to use the 'duit belanja hangus' for mini pelamin kan..sedey kan walaupun i anak bongsu pompuan..huhu T_T Every bride mesti la nak kan?? once in a lifetime woo..so mesti la sendri tanggung kan, tatapi fulus pun xde and i'll definitely not going to ask from my meowgagah as i know im not marrying a millionaire or a millionaire's soon..we have to face facts here honey.. so DIY lah maka nye...

    before i decide to DIY my mini pelamin, my selections were Que Rafael, Sher, Bridal Sanctuary, Nurul Arbee and Nuwoo. i like their works. but, nowadays mane2 u survey mini pelamin pown da rm1500. it took me a long time gak but in the end, i decide to DIY. bunga boleh borong and buat sendrik-checked. i only need basic props jer like i posted HERE, and i have found someone (who's going to deliver on the same month of my wedding) who's able to rent me the basic stuffs and also someone to arrange the items for me.. Alhamdulillah.. nak kene double confirm je lepas ni.. anddd, kalau ada budget lebey sket, i though of ordering backdrop macam cik ana farhana punya... something like this.. tgh tunggu dorang reply je email..da resend 2kali da nih.. T_T




    4. OF BUDGET BRIDE
     
    We all are, arent we? *winkwink* ;) My thought- dalam budget2 pun, boleh jugak buat 'NAMPAK' grand.. tul tak? tehee.. i agree on Maneesa. saw her blog post on this matter (HERE) like, 10mins ago during stalking her wedding dress by Oscar. I am totally in LOVE with her wedding (every single thing) and i agree, hers look very grand..and MERIAH+AWESOME.. which i am aiming for.. :) The truth is, i rather spend MORE on my honeymoon later wif my meowgagah..reowWw.. uiks.. meowmeow gatal..haha ;p


    5. OF MUA
    Make up artist for wedding... okeh, yg ni i xleh nak budget.. haha. biar le mini pelamin n others on budget, but makeup? biar spend lebey sket untuk i yg xberapa nak cantek ni.. i know myself ler..i may be cute (as others say-wah perasan!) but i want to look gorgeous+beautiful on my wedding..

    MAKE UP SOLEMNIZATION       = CHECKED
    MAKE UP RECEPTION SANDING  = CHECKED
    MAKE UP RECEPTION TANDANG = ?

    2 MUA down, 1 more to go. Now im totally strucked by this one MUA, which i think u all da tau kot cos i've been asking and yapping around about her in recent post..tgh tunggu missX dptkan contact dia..teehe..kalau her rates are affordable and available on my dates, i'd be so happy..!! for all u know i might swap her with my sanding recep, and MUA sanding tukar ke tandang..hehehe..we'll see..


    6. OF PROJECT:X

    Heh mcm poyo je nak ada project:X.. yeah maybe ni ayat readers yg peliks naper i nak nama kan my upcoming DIY project as project:X. haha im so negative minded.. ok kalau la ada org ckp camtu kan, my answer is.. why not? haha baik punye jawapan.. ala, actually saje jer kan..kalau Xora ada misi sulit diraja thingy.. i pun nak la jugak ..haha..arituh da ckp da pasal project:x ni HERE

    i da buat survey where to find some stuffs for my project:x ni... so far most things ada kat jln TAR kedai bunga reben (eh ye ke nama dia tu? lupa da). but i have a few things which i seriously dunno where to find.. da google but asyik2 kuar kat alibaba thingy je.. even da email the companies thru alibaba pun no reply..

    What im looking for
    1. Ostrich feathers (white)
    2. Peacock feathers
    3. old cassettes (naper la dulu2 xsimpan T_T)
    4. fairy lights
    5. vulu2 carpet - white (kedai carpet mmg byk-but where to find the cheapest?)
    6. white umbrellas (i mean totally white-xnak yg parasol tu)

    If u all ada info on these items.. do share ya..? kalau bleh tempat yg paling murah or pemborong...the cheaper, the better..ehhe..

    ok da penat type panjang2, takut u all boring plak bace entry menjela2 camni.. konon mood monday blues, tapi skali post perghh panjang giler.. T_T ok kite sambung later ya.. ok till then babes, TTFN daaa~

    CAT vs HUMAN

    Salam alls,

    sorry for the silence. quite sad actually. i've been very busy these past few days. memanjang balik lambat je. agak kecewa yesterday xdpt nak join fira, poyati, amy, lienda n others berbuka kat shah alam. i da plan da tp last minute ada prob ngan group nak gi china.. ergh.. T_T

    Today masuk keje pun xde mood..da pulak ngantuk.. tried to cheer myself up but hopeless.. tried to play games pun sama jek... blogwalking pun sudah tp xde mood sgt nak comment, sorry guys. surf2 pun website2 yg sama gak.. luckily i found this cute blog..membantu la jugak menaikkan mood i.. since i like cats n penah bela cats, i found this blog founder's life with cats are sooo similar to mine..!

    Im stuck to this blog since afternoon until now.. haha ;p

    .................................................................................................................

     DREAM POST WEDDING CONTEST BY DETIK INDAH


     VERANGAN ITU INDAH..betul tak?? u all ada verangan x tentang wedding u all?? I do :)

     If people ask me..do you have a dream wedding? i'll definitely say, YES.
      If people ask me..do you have a wedding dream shoe? i'll definitely say, YES.
      If people ask me..do you have a dream wedding cake? i'll definitely say, YES.
     If people ask me..do you have a dream wedding dress? i'll definitely say, YES. 
     but what if people ask me.. do you have a dream post wedding potraiture? i'll definitely say, NO.

     Why? to be honest, i never thought of having post wedding photos. To me it's not that important, unless the official photographer offers me to have one. But thanks to Detik Indah Photography, now i have my DREAM POST WEDDING POTRAITURE..! If they didnt organize this contest, confirm i mmg xkan terpikir nak buat post wedding pics.. hehe...

    So next time when people asks me.. 
    do you have a dream post wedding potraiture? i'll answer, YES!! :)

    WHERE?
    honeymooner's heaven, BALI
     
    Me+my meowgagah are planning to spend our honeymoon...erm..
    yep u guessed it, the mystical land of BALI of course..! weee..

    Having a post wedding session with Detik Indah Photography in BALI just adds more excitement for us.. :)


    HOW?
    How do i want my post wedding potraiture will be? phew this is a hard one. It took me a long time to come out with this idea. it's so crazy, it just might work.. haha ;p
    Let me story2 how i want my dream post wedding potraiture will be.. 
    hold on to your seats..! :D

    1. Take off to bali..weee...

    2. Spend time on board with my hubby..maybe main cards or our mini chess/checkers set..
    oh bahagianye.. :)

    3. Sampai Denpasar Bali Airport..wee..

    4. Once all passport,etc,etc are checked...it's time to leave airport..! ayuh..

    5. Bila nak keluar aje airport, suddenly we have this weird feeling bila nak melangkah menjejak kaki di bumi BALI..

    6. Out of no where we had this twilight zone moment (in a good way)

    7. we felt like as if we've been sucked in a swirling hole.. 
    and went back in time...!!
    time after time..from present to past....

     8. DUSH! jatuh atas sawah..aduih sakitnye.. oh my, where are we now sayang?
    Looks like we were sent back into the past...our clothes, hair, everything is different..
    We became the classic love story icons in bali.
     One of them is the love story between Rama & Shinta..
    From there our love story journey begins (post wedding photoshoots)
     saje letak pic ni..cute kan? hehe..
    Rama & Shinta

    9. Venue will be all over bali, especially the historical places and also the gorgeous panoramic sawah fields in bali to match our 'classic love story' concept.... Our attires will be in traditional bali costumes and classic costumes.. the story is bout their love and keagungan cinta mereka..  settings will be very classic and romantic.. aw~~
    Here are some samples..
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
      
     
     oh bahagianyeee...

     Seindah panorama bak lembayung senja
    Kala hati dimabuk cinta
    Kudibuat smaradahana
    Bagai legenda Rama dan Shinta

     10. Bila da berkasih asmara (chewah) kat sumer tempat, sampai2 beach aje, PLING! all went back to normal..we were back to the modern world.. and our love doesnt stop there, we carry on the our love journey happily ever after.. and also more photoshoots of us in bali.. like these..
     
     
     
    oh so romanticcc.. i wanttt... :)


    WHY?
     Why what? hehe.. why i want Detik Indah Photography to capture our moments? Well honestly it's because..

    1.  Detik Indah Photography is organizing this contest
    2. Detik Indah Photography's works are similar to my taste and likings. style dorang tu mmg suka..
    3. Detik Indah Photography penah buat of B2B Blogger's pre-wedding shoot (one of them is ZAILA) you can view here for her melayu klasik photoshoot HERE.. terbaik!!

    Rama dan Shinta (feat. Elvi Sukaesih)
    oleh: Rhoma Irama

    Seandainya engkau menjadi Rama
    Tentu engkau menjadi Dewi Shinta
    Apakah Rama sayang pada Shinta
    Rama sayang Shinta ‘tuk selamanya

    Oh Rama...
    Oh Shinta...
    Rama dan Shinta berkasih-mesra

    Bagaimana bila Rahwana membawaku
    Pasti Rahwana ‘kan kubinasakan

    Tapi Rahwana sakti lagi perkasa
    Kesaktianku melebihi dia
    Aku takut kau dibunuhnya
    Akulah yang membunuhnya

    Tapi sayang engkau bukanlah Rama
    Juga sayang engkau bukanlah Shinta
    Walau kita bukan Rama dan Shinta
    Tapi cinta kita seperti mereka

    Oh sayang...
    Oh sayang...
    Kita berdua berkasih-mesra


    This song is dedicated to my meowgagah future hubby.. hehe :">
