happiness

Alhamdulillah met the designer......and he changed the design, according to how i imagined my attire would be...he said " u ni memang suka simple je, takpa i boleh buat"...i smiled and amat happy...Mr.R really has a good heart...i think its just me that overreact to the whole situation (malu i baca balik my last entry) betul cakap fizz design dia memang meletup......hehehe...

The sales girl from jakel was very pushy...habibs material, baju melayu masa dah nak potong she said don't worry dik satin je..i tanya harga dia cakap ala tak mahal...RM 200 p/meter je...crazy dahlah we are taking 10m! of course we settled with a cheaper material..but still looks and feels good...my advice make sure u know from where dia ambil the material...and make sure she is clear with your budget...

For my tandang outfit i will send to a designer that i have admired since 5 yrs ago.. i love his cutting and style..

alhamdulillah..now I'm happy...

Wedding budget...

Salam...

I'm going to change the topic sikit for a while..hehehe....I was discussing with my friend who just got married recently about her wedding and the topic makeup came about...Naddynad, Aim yg buat...and It was very nice and natural...hehehe..i really liked it...boleh nego price as well..btw about my makeup update..hari tu I asked Liza availability in Feb....dia dah penuh...so Takde rezeki to take her...nasib baik got back up plan....alhamdulillah....


Ok now back to the topic, Yesterday for the first time I sat down listed everything we needed and everything that we have spent on for the wedding ( listed in excel, siap bercolour2 lagi..hehehe)....and guess what...my budget dah terlebih!!!! all this while i kira2 here and there...and I was so bangga to my siblings coz i told them "see u can plan a beautiful cheap wedding"...looks like I was WRONG....now i kena go through everything again, and cut down everything...its so sad... I have to admit from a simple wedding that i wanted, lagi research I did lagi i wanted more and more..Totally my fault...Alhamdulillah mama pun decided to sponsor a few things here and there..but she warned "it does not mean u can go crazy and spend"...yes, mum....
tmrw me and habib heading to jakel nak beli kain for family...inilah salah satu benda I didn't know it HAD TO COME OUT FROM MY WEDDING BUDGET... but its all good...because the best people to receive sedeqah is Family of course...and kitorg dah survey byk tempat and memang jakel is paling reasonable...also we are getting 1 set kain for 1 of our reception..inshaAllah...last week dah book dah, but since i'm cutting down my budget kena tukar kain...and this is something i discovered at our 1st trip to jakel....beaded chiffon can be more expensive then lace..heish..ada a few yg tersangat cantik...sampai RM 7k per meter...but of course yg kitorg book was much cheaper...they also have this amazing wedding package RM 680 sahaja for beaded chiffon 4m+ lining silk satin + baju melayu 5m..yes all in...

My Dream wedding setup

I heart this wedding setup, I love square tables instead of round and i love those chiavari chairs...But unfortunately this set up is so expensive. I calculated, if i do this set up, the cost at the hall for 400pax would be more expensive then if i do a sit down hotel wedding for 400pax (a 4 star hotel)...

When we were weighing our options, habib muka pelik sangat, he asked "kenapa budget for the community hall lagi tinggi then hotel?" hehehe..all i could do was smile.

My mum reminded me ...don't waste money....save it for the marriage...wedding is just one day, is marriage and children that u should concentrate on...

Some days I'm strong enough to hold back and just plan a simple wedding...some days i just long for my dream wedding...

But we did finalise on the theme...

For my reception is pink-ish




For nikah, i want something more natural....green-ish theme...
