Deco

Been on MC for the past 2 days cos of a back injury and of course I took the opportunity to stalk bridal houses and deco companies, duh. That's what I always do online anyway.

I am quite fussy when it comes to deco but I am NOT willing to spend thousands on deco becos I think the money should be spend on other things like honeymoon or nice hantaran gifts.

The other day I trooped down to Expo with another Bridezilla and I saw a lot of deco companies displaying their nice pelamins. I don't really like pelamins that are OTT and yes, fresh flowers are a MUST cos it really makes a difference! But of cos duit pon lebih lah eh.

I think colour schemes are important too. My mom is against dark colours, so no black, brown and colours sewaktu dengan mereka. I love pastel colours. I am looking at pretty pastel shades of purple, pink and beige. Initially I wanted a Tiffany Blue/White combi but I changed my mind.

After intensive stalking, here are my choices.

1) Jentayu Gallery
GORGEOUS deco and pretty Chiavari chairs!!!! But omg, I think the rental of the chairs cost a bomb!

2) Wedding Chateau
Classy deco and not very typical. Great for hotel and park weddings and they have the new Napolean chairs!!!! Lagi jembu dari the Chiavari chairs ok?!

3) Anggerik Impian
Loving their floral arrangements! I have yet to find out how their quotations are like though but will do it soon.

4) Jais Deco
Heard from fellow B2B that the rate is cheaper than other deco companies but you have to book REALLY fast as there might not be any slots left on your date cos the deco is CHANTEKKKK.

5) Daun Deco
Awesome deco and from the FB pictures that they have uploaded the pelamins are all vair pretty!

6) The chic factory wedding by Fazly
I think their deco is really unique! Saw some pictures of a mini pelamin in a park for akad nikah. NAKKKKK!!!


I am really not sure how their rates are like but choose a deco company that suits your budget and preferances. Deco IS important but not THAT important for you to spend thousands on it but up to you, kalau ade rezeki lebih why not kan? :)

Mekap.

Wow, I'm on a wedding entries roll here.

I've sorted out my priorities for the wedding.

1) Andaman
2) Photography & Videography
3) Deco

Catering is not really on my list cos my parents are kindly gonna settle it cos my aunt owns a catering business. Tu sudah diatur beres!

There are so many bridal houses nowadays. Here are some of my choices. I am leaning more towards flawless makeup, for the outfits I'm not so fussy- but who am I kidding. No dramatic makeup or OTT outfits please. I prefer classy and clean lines.

1) Versari Ade
Lovely songket collection, simple makeup- I like the concept of flowers in the hair and sanggul.

2) Lady Sophia Bridal
My BFF engaged her and I lovelovelove Kak Sophie's easy going nature and her collection of outfits. Very good service also! 

3) D'Glamz Wedding
Lovely makeup & nice outfits! My cousin is gonna engage them for her February 2012 wedding.

4) JulsDsweet
I just discovered her FB page actually and I loveeeeee the makeup. I think she is a freelance MUA? I don't know, will check it out later.

5) Chinta Weddings
Lovely outfits and again, flawless makeup. I think if I engage Chinta, I'm gonna ask for Lily. Read that she's really good from another wedding blog.



EEEEEE, so many bridal houses!!! Need to survey more.

ENGAGED!

Ok so my last update was like...January. A lot of things happened and one of the greatest things did happen to me. WE GOT ENGAGED!

YES, we took the plunge to halfway on 16th April 2011. 

Well planning of the engagement was easy (some drama involved but I will leave that out). If you ask me, I do want a big engagement ceremony but come to think of it, macam buang duit. So we had it simple. REALLY simple. His side (his grandma, mom & auntie) came over to talk to my side (auntie, uncle, granny, mom & dad). Everything went smoothly, Alhamdullilah.

I did buy a simple baju for the ceremony cos I wasn't willing to spend on ANYTHING, yes cheapskate is me. And another factor why we settled for a simple ceremony is because...I am lazy to clean my room, HAHA!

Anyhoos, I think things are different now. I don't know how to explain ah but you can feel the responsibilities and you KNOW people have expectations. So the date has been more or less set. End of 2013. Let him finish his studies first- so that means I have 2 years and 6 months to save up and plan! GAHHHH!!
