wedding review : the pelamin-s

(reminder, this will be a super longggg entry!)

holla!

since so many of u girls asked me, how i did my nikah mini dais. i DIY je. yes. xde vendor pun. semua nye dibuat sikit-sikit. with the help of my mum, dad, sister and niece.

do u still remember my engagement dais?

kalau lupa, nah. ini dia.

my engagement dais

the same concept. the less is more. and i recycle the standing lamps and roses itu. jimat kan?

for the background, i ganti dengan crepe paper flower. beli color kuning-krim. akan guna banyakkkkk sangat crepe paper ni. so, i beli secara borong kat KEDAI BUNGA RIBEN, JALAN TAR. i rase ramai yang familiar kot dgn kedai ni.

tutorial?

ramai dah kot yang terer buat bunga ni. tp for those yg x tau lagi, nah.

i guna 155 keping crepe paper. harga sekeping dapat 35sen.

buat macam-macam size. i buat ikut suka je. kejup kecik, kejup besar. hahahha. untuk bagi cantik, yang besar2 sikit bunga nye tu, i letak doily paper kt tengah2. saje. hehe

i lekat guna double-sided tape kt wall rumah. but make sure cat dinding rumah bukan jenis yang senang tanggal tu ye. if u takut cat tanggal, bole gantung kain dulu kt belakang tu. then lekatkan guna pins. hundreds of pins. :P

for the platform, i amik palet kayu kt hospital tempat i keje. u know, bila kt hospital, kita tak bole simpan ubat or bahan kimia atas lantai je, kene alas dengan palet ni. so kat tepi lab tu, ade banyak sangat palet ni. amik satu. angkut masuk kereta bawak balik seremban. then pakukan bahagian atas dengan papan playwood nipis.

palet tu macam ni.

then, mak i belikan span nipis buat baju tu, untuk alas platform ni. supaya x sakit bontot duduk atas tu. then she beli kain warna peachy-pink untuk balut the platform.  guna stapler jenis tembak tu untuk lekatkan kain tu ke platform.

kirin kanan letak standing lamp tu and pasu bunga roses itu. gantung2 sikit disco ball kat tiang lamp itu and pasu bunga itu. depan pasu bunga tu, i letak lampu tidur ikea tu. murah kot lampu tu. 10 hengget kot??? tak ingat sangat. hehehe

hasil nya?

close up sikittttttt

(klik gmbr untuk tumbesaran hebat)

bantal nikah warna merah tu ade 2. i beli sarung nya kt perak. yang jenis kain baldu tenung benang emas (emas ke?) tu. isi dengan kekabu. sedap nye duduk atas tu. hehehhe.

ok. enough pasal mini dais nikah. lets move on to pelamin sanding i.
untuk pelamin majlis sanding, i amik dengan butik andaman kesuma, muar. pelamin majlis bertandang, MIL yg uruskan. harga tak diketahui. hehe

untuk sanding muar, i mintak pelamin simple je. just backdrop. taknak ade tiang bagai. sebab kawasan porch kecik.

full view.

bunga artificial je. i rase paper lantern tu mcm semak je. tp kakak dengan emak cakap ok je. so, i biar je lah. malas nak fikir. hahah

untuk majlis bertandang seremban,

senyum lebar tengok semua pelamin i ni. alhamdulliah. as what i want. bukan kerusi besar gedabak tu. bukan yang terlalu sarat. bukan yang terlalu mahal. as simple as that.

senyum lagi :)

till next entry. thanks!

wedding review : the photographers

hi gorgeous.

from now on, i akan review one particular topic in my my wedding serentak. last entry dh review OV. as i amik OV only for nikah jek.

sekarang, nak cerita pasal OP.

remember that i had 3 events yg jarak masa nya agak jauh. so,

for nikah at seremban , i hired G.i photoshoot.

reception at muar, Critical Episode.

reception at seremban, again G.i photoshoot.

1st up, G.i photoshoot. i booked for shoot and burn. jumpa diorg masa pameran pengantin kt pusat kraftangan jalan conlay. that time, mmg i dah plan nk amik shoot n burn saje. so i survey photography company yang bole bagi harga termurah untuk datang ke seremban. cantik or tak lain kira coz i akan edit gmbr sendiri.

so i pn booked la dgn G.i ni. but......PR wise after booking tu memang mengecewakan sikit. lagi seminggu nak majlis nikah, i yg kene follow up. call dah la susah nk jawab. sms pun. i nk tnya la sapa photographer i nanti. i yg kene mintak no phone OP tu. patut nya diorg la yg bgtau siap2 kan. mau nye jadi bridezilla nanti. heeeeee

on the day, they sent arif rahaman as my OP. he's ok. datang pun awal. on time. so, tak kesah la PR bad sikit janji kau datang. hehe

- masa nikah

- masa bertandang seremban

i dapat complete dvds for both events kt seremban right after 2 weeks lepas majlis bertandang seremban. as promised.

lastly, for muar's reception. i hired Critical Episode (CE). CE ni ade 3 orang member. diorg ni dari JB. i pn tak ingat la camne i bole jumpa fb diorg. i booked CE lepas i booked G.i.

gmbr2 from G.i semua nya macam pose sopan2, romantik2.. so i wanted something different for muar's. i nak pose yg gila2, happy2 pulak. so i pun contact la remy  CE ni.. jumpa kt angsana. byr deposit.

on the day, they come early. THEY. yes u read me. i bayar harga untuk sorang OP je. but, diorang datang BERTIGA. sebab kebetulan mase tu semua free. lucky me !! hehe. dengan diorg ni, siap pergi outdoor sekali. where as, dgn G.i takde outdoor.

diorang ni memang best gila. kepala semua happy2. so memang bole ngam la.
p/s : it not mistaken, semua pun belum kahwin. tp remy br je got engaged last week. tahniah yo!

some pictures captured by CE

-during bersanding muar

complete dvds pun dapat tepat 2 minggu lepas majlis muar.

fyi, gmbr2 kt atas tu i print screen from my photobook software. dah submit order to photobook malaysia. tak sabar nak tunggu album photobook siap.

i beli voucher ni last year.
17.5'' x 12'' photobook pro XL size. 80 pages. harga asal ialah rm1125. tp promotion masa tu ialah rm228 sajo. so ape lagi, rembat la kannnnnn.

penjimatan berganda.
for the record. total damage for photogphers G.i + CE ialah rm2050 (plus the transportation cost coz sorg from KL, sorg lg from JB). tambah dengan photobook ni ialah rm228. u do the maths.

so for 3 events + 1 album 80 pages ialah lebih kurang rm2300 saje.

orang lain bayar berapa?

haha. happy. plus, bole bawak kehulur kehilir photobook tu tunjuk kt sedara mara sebab tak berat macam album yang tebal baling kucing pun kucing penyek.

ok. thanks. bye

nikah review : Videographer

http://youtu.be/XtZkal__ReU?hd=1

click the link above to view my nikah's highlights video.


how is it?

i like it to the max! simple. sweet and memorable.

maybe ade part yang kene brush up, tambah skill lagi. but i dont mind. all i know is, i love the video. hehe
im his first customer. haha. lucky kan?

my OV was my colleague. now he's working in KL.

he came on time. before i make up. help me to arrange the groom and bride position so that he can get the best angle to shoot us.

so, to bride-to-be out there, maybe u can contact this guy. i bet u can get special price from him, much cheaper than other videographer. just mention my name. hehe. dia pun baru nk berjinak-jinak dalam bisnes videography ni. i rase he willing to travel outside kl.

i bet all of us nak keep the memory , kan? instead just a freeze picture of ur husband shake tok kadi's hand, maybe u want to consider a video to keep the moment. sebab ade suara, ade movement. bole tunjuk kt anak cucu nanti. hehe.

he also can shoot for sanding. but, i amik video for nikah je. i kan cheapskate. hahahha.

any b2b yg nk tanya for quotation, msg him on his facebook or email him abbaz_smakl@yahoo.com

post mortem seremban's reception

29 januari 2012.

venue : dewan majlis perbandaran seremban

ade 2 dewan kt MPS ni. 1 ialah dewan yang besar tu. bole muat 2000 guests at one time. lagi 1 ialah dewan pameran tu.

MIL booked dewan pameran tu. dalam dewan bole muat dalam 200 orang sekaligus. and dekat ruang legar depan depan dewan bole muat dalam 300 orang.

tetamu yang dijemput lebih kurang 1500 orang. tapi jamuan ialah buffet style. people come, eat and go. only certain kekawan or sedara yang stay back. lepak-lepak. borak-borak.

so, kalau booked dewan yang besar tu, if u buat buffet style, dewan akan nampak kosong. sangat kosong. unless, u buat seating reception. macam lengang aje kenduri tu nanti. hiks.

alhamdulliah, majlis berjalan lancar. we had a very simple reception this time. no merenjis or DJ playing loud music.

instead, MIL panggil budak2 sekolah rendah main cak lempong. cute giler budak2 tu. and, memang arwah FIL nak sangat music cak lempong tu.

on the day, ade 2 wedding serentak at both dewan. so, parking memang penuh. luckily, MIL dah booked parking swasta kat seberang jalan depan dewan tu. pheww~

so, sampai MPS around 1.00 pm. turun kereta, terus masuk dewan. (with cak lempong music in the background). bersanding dalam 10 minit macam tu. amik gambar sikit2. then terus makan beradap. after that, buat perangai gila. hahahhaha. takde lah. after makan tu, sesi bergambar la. jumpa kawan2 UM and kawan2 akmal. and also geng2 lagho shah alam dulu and also ex-officemate kat delphax dulu. terharu kot diorang semua datang. heehe

MIL taknak ade bacaan doa or merenjis. nanti bila baca doa, akan sebut nama arwah FIL. pastu for sure ramai sedara akan sedih. sedara takpe lagi. takut mak pengantin dengan akmal nye yang nangis. so kalau diorang nangis, sure adik akmal, ikram tu akan nangis. sudahnya, semua orang kt dewan tu sedih nanti. rosak majlis nanti. tak happy dah nanti. nanti semua orang takde mood, susah pulak.

mase kitorg duduk atas pelamin tu, perasan jugak adik and abang arwah FIL dah berair mata. tahan nangis. akmal pun noticed.

sebab, perangai and muka akmal memang macam arwah abah dia. fotostat la senang kata. tu yang ramai teringat tu kat arwah bila tengok akmal.

ok. ni dah melalut. haha.

foods semua cukup. cendol stall laku gila. semua orang puji foods and cendol sedapppp..goodies banyak lebih. sebab ramai orang yang balik tak salam MIL. masuk pintu lain, keluar pintu lain. tapi takpe lah. nak buat camna. biasala kan..ade flaws sikit.

overall, memang aku proud gila dgn MIL. bayang kan, shes so strong. buat semua sorang-sorang. dah la dia tak pandai drive. nak g mane2 pun tunggu akmal balik. tapi, she managed to settle semua in time. terer tak terer la kan.....hiks.

till then.

next update, about all the vendors list.

p/s : alfatihah to arwah FIL, Ridzuan bin Jaafar.

back to reality

29 January 2012, done the 2nd reception.

it was awesome.

i am so thankful and relieved that all my events went very well. from nikah to sanding to bertandang. even there were some hiccups and flaws, but we managed them very well. 'them' referring to mereka2 yg banyak bunyik tau nak complain sana sini, mentang2 anak kau xde yg kahwin lg, bole la nk mengata. tunggu majlis anak kau nanti macam mana.

k fine. ni lari tajuk. haha.

so far, i only review on make up nikah. kan?

sorrylah. 3 majlis aku semua jauh2 harinya. kene tunggu dapat semua gambar la br best kan nak cerita.

stay tune ok.

bye~

i'm a NOMAD

weekdays or working days - JB
weekends - muar, then seremban. sometimes, balik muar semula.

pakaian dah bersepah sekarang. merata dah baju aku. bayangkan aku ade 4 rumah sekarang. JB, Muar, Seremban rumah akmal, and also my parent's. hari tu kemas-kemas baju. tetibe monolog sendiri.

"eh, mane pergi baju yg warna biru tu? oh kt rumah muar."
"eh ade lagi 1 baju warna peach hilang. mane? oh kt rumah seremban. "
"rumah seremban yang mane? oh rumah akmal"
"eh tapi macam ade kt rumah  aku (seremban) je"
"eh entah lah. beli baju baru je la"

one good reason. see? heheh T_T

penat. memang penat. sometimes balik naik bus aje. sometimes, drive sendiri. so far lepas kahwin, akmal tak pernah datang jb nk jemput aku or whatsoever. (except mase datang nk fitting baju sanding muar hari tu) sebab costly. nk datang, duit, nak balik pun duit. macam membazir aje kan. takpe lah aku sacrifice balik sendiri je. tu pun selalu nye akmal yang belikan tiket bus or isi minyak fuel tank. gitu kau. hahah.

on the other note, aku still panggil husband as akmal lagi. and he also calls me by my name, nani. haha. susah nye nk ubah. time depan mak dia, pggl la sayang ke. sebab nk nmpk sopan sikit. kang panggil husband "akmal!" mcm tak sedap pulak mak mentua dengar. hiks. pastu dia mengada suruh panggil abang. i was "eewwww abang????" errrkkkkk tergeliat lidah. haha.

cepat lah dapat transfer...

post mortem muar's reception

overall, majlis berjalan lancar. takde major problem sangat.

nasib baik aku dah nikah awal-awal. so takde la kelam kabut ribut sangat. rilek and steady aje.

tapi, biaselah. mane-mane majlis pun mesti ade sikit flaw. tapi aku malas nak amik kisah sangat.

kesimpulan nya, banyak betul sedekah aku dah buat mase kenduri aku tu (fikir positif aje la). hahahaha. baju sponsor, centerpiece, lantern, memang banyak betul benda free. aku takde la harapkan balasan pape. takde pun. doa2 aje lah rezeki dari segi lain mencurah-curah. cth: dapat transfer cepat ke. hehe. harap2 rezeki kami suami isteri and also rezeki parents aku mencurah-curah tak putus-putus. aminnnnn~


k. tu je.

till then ~
