Phewwwww!!! SERIOUSLY?? It's a damn long list!

:: Baju Nikah (him) ::

Life is sooo hectic these 2 weeks...admitted to hospital..feelin' so unwell..plus Ain's wedding (me as 1 of her bridesmaid)..sgt letih! tp FUN oke!

Okay..update for baju nikah for him : Actually dah lama survey baju Melayu for nikah. And the best baju Melayu that we found adalah from Hugo Collection, Semua House. Kain utk baju Melayu kat kedai ni sgt cantik and jahitannye sgt kemas. Compared to other kedai, kainnye panas dan sgt nipis. So, we bought an Off-White Baju Melayu for him :)

These are some tips to choose baju melayu :

1. Kalau boleh avoid beli kain baju Melayu yang disekalikan dengan kain baju bride. Contoh : Usually ada promotion beli kain utk baju bride dpt skali kain utk baju melayu (kire mcm extra kain la utk buat baju melayu). Why? Sebab, kain utk baju brides ni xsama dengan kain baju Melayu sebab texture die sgt lembut dan melekat di badan. Takkan la nanti groom punya baju melekat kat badan nampak pulak nipples kan? :D So, try to search kain yang lebih tebal sedikit dan tidak melekat di badan. Baru la baju tu nampak terletak dan kemas :)

2. Try cari kain yang baju Melayu yang tak shining. Why? Sebab nanti bila ambil gambar, baju tu akan berkilat2..nampak ugly and gemokk..Tidakkkkk.. :)

:: Photographer ::

OP for my wedding dah booked.. (lega sikit!) phewww!! Thanks to Miss Shikin yg recommend this photographer. His price pon sgt reasonable! luckily the photographer pon dari kampung saye jugak..kat situ dah save travelling chargers kan? 


So, this is some of the artwork of my OP. Enjoy!

Interested? Just click here!

:: Pelamin ::

Inspiration for Pelamin..(this is frm Marion Caunter's wed)

Pretty right? I am soooo jealous!

This is my fav dais :) cute isn't it?

:: Guestbook ::

Guestbook..hmm..memang nak buat guestbook ni..tapi kan, ade ke org nak conteng kat guestbook ni nnt? huhuhu...sadis kan?? hehe..ttp idea guestbook ni mmg la sgt brilliant! Sebab ape? Sebab on the reception..kite takkan sempat nak memerasankan diri sape guest yg datang. So, salah satu cara nak tau sape yg dtg ni adelah thru Guestbook ni.

So, I've found this template for guestbook frm our b2b ni..die bg freebies tau! sgt chomel! nak gune jugak la template ni! thanks girl! Sesape yang nak freebies ni..just click on the link!

:: Bunga Manggar ::

Still looking for an inspiration for the bunga manggar - the one yg utk iring pengantin masuk ke perkarangan rumah tu. hehe..sgt gedik oke!. Since bunga manggar utk letak kat tepi2 jln tu dah beli (utk letak skali ngan signage)..now its time to concentrate on DIY bunga manggar special ni pulak.(nampaknye kene google dulu lah!) hehe..


This is a few inspiration for the bunga manggar(source : google)..bile nak start project ni??

*Update*

Harapan nak berbunga manggar sakura-mura ni terpaksa dibatalkan diatas sebab2 yg tertentu...means, terpaksela jugak pkai bungga manggar yg very ordinary..sob..sob.. (xyah upload la pic tu kt sini since semua org pon dh bleh expect wht kind of bunga manggar that is)

:: Shoes for Her ::

Searching for bride's shoes below RM150! Agak2 ade tak? hehe..ye la kan, since budget pon ciput..even benda2 kecik pon kene kira. :) My soon to be bro in law ade recommend this shoe designer yg die jmpa kat FB. Then I went straight to the page *you, me and shoes

All the design is fresh and chic! Plus the price pon sgt affordable. U can ask her to make the shoes ikut ketinggian kasut yg u all nak! best kan? I loike! I'm lookin forward to order my wedding shoes at her.... finger's cross!!


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


This is the shoe design that i wanted!

Perfect! *grinn*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've found my perfect wedding shoes! That day saje jalan2 kat Sg. Wang Plaza..then lalu tepi Vincci shop. Then i was stunned at this 1 white lil thingy. It has crystal detailing + pearl beads..sgt unik! The shoes is sumthin like this :

I just grab it and pakai kat kaki. Perfect! So, i called up the salesgirl to get me the new one. But, unfortunately this is the last pair...bile dah check2..mmg xde defect. Fuhhh... Terus grab n bayar :) senang hati. Its time to scratch one item on the list! :)

:: Hantaran : Inspiration ::

Looking for an inspiration for the hantaran. Then I browsed d internet...syiuuuuu...jmpa this blog "Arma Abd Rahman". I love the idea of hantaran of hers. Very exclusive and pretty! The idea of using the bantal is cute! check this out!

Nak cmni!! *dreaming*
________________________________________________________


Finally, tau jugak rahsia di sebalik kekemasan bantal ni. Actually this is not actually bantal. Dalamnye ade polysterine yand mmg dibentuk mcm bantal ni. How I found out about this? 


Hehe..tadi petang i went to Nilai 3..saje2 tgk2 kedai yg jual brg2 kawen kat sana. Sbb my officemate kata kat sana brg murah3 giler. And since rmh ni pon tak berapa nak jauh dari Nilai tu..so, pergila usha ngan Maksu. 


Time tu kitorang pegi kat kedai nama ZC. Haaa...kat situ la ade jual polysterine sebijik bentuk bantal seperti diatas..The price RM3.50/pcs hehe...now I know how they do it. Just skrg ni kene cari kain utk balut so called "bantal" ni. :) plus the rumbai2 kat tepi bantal tu. Yang rumbai2 tu seriously kene mereka2 carik crystal2 and mix and match!! (kreatif kerrrr??) 

__________________________________________________

The touch of fresh flowers mmg makes the hantaran berseri. I've been surveying the price of the fresh flowers. Yg recommended at Floristika Bangsar and Cameron Highland.. but now still under surveying mode. :) chaiyokk!!

I love the combination of white and pink plus the babies breath!

:: Family attire ::

For family attire..i wanted it to be in PALE PINK. Right now tak tau nak beli kain2 yang best + murah kat mane...hmm..

Jumpe this one blog yg jual kain.. suka yang ni.cute sgt!

Pale pink!!! like what I've imagined! Nak order ni utk lil sis, sis in law and pengapit-->sape ye? hehe..For mak kena cari kain lain yg sama warna sbb size XL :P

For guys pulak (ayah, abg, lil bro) kene cari same color so that can match with the girls!

For girls ingat nak tempah baju kurung moden je.. mesti suweet..hehe..and for guys..biase la..baju melayu. But i prefer baju Melayu Johor :)

*Update*

Finally...

Baju seperti diatas tu xjd dibeli..sbb nak hantar tempah xsempat.. So, i went to Setiawan utk cari baju kurung yg ready made. Senang sikit,xpayah fikir pasal nak tempah jahit bagai. 

Lastly, jumpe la this baju kurung yg simple n sweet...siap ade beads bagai. And yg paling penting....sgt murah! wahh!! happy!

:: Borang Nikah ::

How to get the form?

Just go to the nearest Pejabat Agama Islam and ask for this form. Bayaran hanya Rm1 shj. For mine, my beloved dad yang tolong amekkan. They will give the form together with the checklist. Checklist ni sgt membantu! After semua dlm checklist dah complete..boleh la submit form. Kene submit paling awal pon 3 months before the suggested date.

                               

:: the checklist 4 wedding procedure ::

:: Borang permohonan Nikah ::

But I prefer to submit this form early..senang.. So, now..HIV test je yg tak buat lagi sebab kene buat test paling awal pon 6 months b4 the suggested date. Date for HIV Test yang dah booked will be on 3th June 2011. Lepas ni boleh terus submit! yeay!

:: Bunga Rampai ::

Bunga rampai..at 1st I thought this is the least important thing in a wedding. But, guess I was wrong. Lepas bace this one bride-to-be blog..baru la saya sedar it plays a BIG role in a wedding utk menaikkan semangat kekahwinan seseorang (boleh ke ckp cmni?) ahaha...

So, i went out searching for the ingredients for the Bunga Rampai..will update soon ya! 
_________________________________________________________


Dah jumpa pewangi utk Bunga rampai ni. Penatnyeee mencari kat Jln Masjid India tu. Sebab I have no idea how it look like and how it smells like! And we went to this big Supermarket that called Haniffa. Sgt la grand ye supermarket ni. Semua benda ada! Kitorang tanya sales person kat sana semua tak tau ape mende pewangi bunga rampai ni. And time tu dorang bagi Air Mawar pulak dah. ishh..mcm mane la nk bgtau dorang ni.


Last2, kitorang gi naik tingkat atas..baru la the sales person tu paham ape mende yg kitorang cari. Its in a green bottle called Patchouli! And at 1st i was soo not convinced with the smell.. And after i got back..terus cari daun pandan to test on the smell with daun pandan. YES! this is the smell that I wanted!. Okeh, satu bende dah setel. Nnt time dah nk dekat senang, tinggal nak potong daun pandan je. Just nnt letak sikit2 je perfume ni sebab bau die kuat :)

:: Rosette ::

I want something different for the rosette..tanak yang ordinary sgt..nak yg extraordinary *smile* so, i googled and found this..

sangat comel! Nak buat mcm ni jugak! hehe..tapi masalahnye..mane nak cari "bulu-buluan" ni???
__________________________________________________________

One fine day, we went up to Semua House, heaven for weds preps :) looking for stuffs to make the rosette. Mcm org giler cari tiny2 flowers. Habes semua kedai kene selongkar..hehe..after keluar-masuk kedai2 kat sane atlast jumpa jugak this cute tiny flowers. Ingatkan nk beli pink flowers, tapi xcntik pulak. Last2, i took the purple flowers.

Ok, done with the flowers, now nak cari bulu-buluan ni..Ingatkan nak beli kat Petaling Street sebab haritu jln2 kat sana ada jumpa this bulu-bulu. Tetibe, tgh2 choose ribbons for the rosette..suddenly ternampak the bulu-buluan kat ceruk bawah tu. heeee...naseb baik nampak! Then, i checked the price.. RM3.90 for 10pcs! super cheap! sebab if compared to the PS bulu -->RM7.++ for 5 pcs. *happy!*

So i bought 2 packets of the bulu, 1 pack of straight pins (ada 20 pcs) and 2 pack of small flowers (40pcs).  


So, it's DIY time! Im SUPER excited!

:: HIV Test ::

I've booked for the HIV test @ Klinik Kesihatan Putrajaya. I didn't know about this test until i got the Borang Pendaftaran Nikah stated that I have to attached the result of the test together with other documents. So, i started to call the clinic to find out the procedure for the test.

I was told to make the appointment 1st @ the nearest gov clinic. After the date set, baru la later I have to come again for the test. So, i've booked a date which is on 3rd of June 2011 (Friday). The tricky thing is that the test only valid for 6 months. So, calculate urself so that u will not waste your blood and time!.
