Goodie Bags idea....

Some people give goodie bags for their guest, some give favor box, wedding gifts etc. but all are the same. In Malay tradition, we gift boiled eggs for the guest. nowadays, there are soooo many choices/present that can be a gift.

bunga manggar...

its already October... 3 months being a fiance' to Mr Hadry.... LUV U... huhu... :p By now, brides to be should already have check list to be done for monthly and weekly. i have no idea where to start. Fitrina, my mom best friend was super excited to do bunga manggar for her brother who getting married on Mac next year. She gives an idea... why not she help me with bunga manggar since my wedding is on January and during her brother's wedding, he will borrow the bunga manggar from me... hmmm... thats brilliant!!! so, lets start now!

As everyone familiar, bunga maggar normally look like this. And it can easily find in market. This time, i want to do something a bit different. i'm gonna use fabric flower that can be found in flower or wedding shop (in Nilai 3, there's only 1 shop selling this which i forgot its name).

Fitrina helps in joining the fabric flower petals to the wire that we had cut it into small length about 2 inches long and the end of the wire need to be curved up so it can easily be glued to the fabric flowers.

fabric flower after been curved up. now, its look like a small morning glory flower.

Next step, take thicker wire and taped this small flower to it (use white transparent flower tape). Start from the edge of the wire. Repeat the same process for other flowers along the thicker wire. How many flowers to be taped to the longer wire is depends on u. i think the best is 13-15 flowers in a length with about 1.5" gap. It wouldn't be too heavy.

finally, it will looks like this...

I'd wraped this bunga manggar with papers to keep it from dust and spoilt coz its quite fragile. Now its too early to arrange the flower. Normally, people will do the bunga manggar arrangement a night or a day before the wedding day. Here, Fitrina, Baizura and others making the bunga manggar arrangement.

In progress....

Normally people bring along the bunga manggar besides the bride and the groom when they walk into the hall but since my wedding got decorative gateway, i suggest... we just put the bunga mangga besides the doorway where the main entrance was...

My Engagement Day : The Flow...

After done with my make up... whatelse? time for clicks... clicks....

with Detol & Ros...

with my niece, Siti...

After heard the sound of many cars coming toward my house.... dub..dab...dub...dab... Again! i feel sooooooooooo nervous! feel like my stomach full of butterfly... hahha... This is the feelig that cant be explain.. once in a life time... OMG! this is just the beginning, an engagement. not yet the event of the solemnisation... i wish i can run to the toilet now! but not with my beautiful veil... huhu... about 5-6 cars comming... Suddenly my phone rang! Hadry was on the line... inform that he had arrived... huh, i know lah! feel like wanna jump from te corridor and run... hahaha...

We just wait upstairs until the whole family ready to start the event. My Pak Ngah is the representative on behalf of my family to introduce my family and me. He also discuss on hantaran and the ring. After Bacaan Doa by En. Sani (my x-neighbour and also 'org kuat masjid'), pak Lang ask my dayang2 to bring all the 7 hantaran down stairs.

and now................. its my turn to go downstairs to meet all the family members. Omg! there are so many people! all eyes are focus on me. sooooo many camera flashes~ feel like a super star! ahakkksss.... i just stay on the dias... control ayu!

The climax part is wearing the ring by my mother in law 'to be'... hahha....

I saw the ring that i bought together with Hadry like in my previous post! buttttttttttttttttt......

suddenly, his mother ask me for another hand... what a surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got 2 rings in 1 event? the ring that we bought together become the ring for Merisik and the other ring is mostly like a present from his parents to me for the ring of Meminang.... wow! sooo... blink2! i like!

Thank you Hadry and family!

My Engagement Day : Make-up!

17 . 7. 11 : The day has come! wake up early in the morning and take a look at my face... orite, everything gonna be fine! dont be nervous.... be cool Linda! i juz cant discribe my feeling because this is the first time for Hadry's family to meet me officially... what happen if they cant accept me? would it be? not impossible right? arrggghhhh.... think positive! u think now is zaman 'anak ku Sazali'? hahaha....

About 8.30am : Everyone has arrived. My cousins, Izma ordered that 'pulut kuning' while Iza help her sister, Izlin prepaired the Rendang in their house in Seremban. so, the rendang is all the way from Seremban. Must be special and delicious! of coz... They pack te pulut and rendang in the small plastic tupperware and put them together with the mineral water in the grey-ish goodie bags (shown in photo above).

This is the view in front of my house showing the tent that ayah rent from his friend, Uncle Ajak who runing this business so, ayah can get special price from him. Hopefully... i never discuss with ayah on the tent part. Suddenly, they done installing the tent and i realise the color is turquois. The nearest color to tiffany! hahah... not bad ayah! u done a good job! i love the color....

We also rent 8sets of round tables with chairs + tables for buffet line + 2 sets of long table for the ladies. Thank god my neighbour still not moving in so, we use their porch area to shade the eating area since the khemah is quite small. Also thank god for the nice weather that day (not raining)....

I love this make up part! yes... make up session has to start 2 hours before the event...

Guess what im doing? huhu... this is some kind of 'petua' k... since my pores a bit large... i have to roll the ice cube all over my face so my skin will be cold and automatically will shrink n reduce the size of the pores. When the pores getting smaller in size, the make up will look more balance, settle and my skin will look smoother. Shud try this everytime u wanna apply heavy make up especially...

The row of make up brushes...

Start with the eyes first... owh, i look sooo pale! nevermind, its not done yet!

Done with the eyes part... now, its time to change the outfit then continue with the make up... if not, it will stain on my dress... owh, where is my beatiful dresss :p

taadaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! what do u think?

Last but not least, the tudung part... i wish i can just wear the veil without the tudung like Elyana but.... if only i wanna hear my mom bebel-ing.... hahhaha.... thank god i find the correct color for the scarf and the tudung... (takes a few weeks to look for it k)...

At first, i just wanna make it simple by only wearing tudung but when i ask an opinion from others and search in the internet... mostly people wear a veil... owh... where to find a beatiful veil in a few days?

When talking bout tiffany, i remember Hatta Dolmat... his the one who start to use this color for wedding dress. When we talk about tiffany, i would remember Elyana. She's the one who wore the tiffany dress on her nikah day. After discuss with Hadry, we both agree to rent a tiffany veil from Hatta (the one that Elyana wore). He charge me RM400 at the first place and after a negotiation, he agreed to charge me RM300. Last minute decision sometimes lead us to higher expenditure....

But after look at the result, i forgot about the price coz im sooooooooo happy with it... the dress look more beauty because of the additional of the veil. it helps a lot!

here, i introduce you my make-up artist, Baizura (017-6900852). Call to make a booking. She doing this make up as her freelance job. She is actually my mom assistant in her office at UPM. i think she can consider as a professional make up artist. She also do touch up make up for a man. oh, dont be shy... she so friendly with a indonesian blood in her... (ada kena mengena ke?)huhu...

Lets make it done!

yes! sometimes we feel that we want to do everything by our own right? but actually, we still need some help, ideas from others who has an experience on this kind of event... like uncles and aunties. and also frens coz they attended many wedding events. From there, i have to develope!

the nite before :

make the curtain look more neat... yes! thats my sliding door curtain... save budget! ahahha....

Play around with the lighting to get the best effect...

owh... im so in love with the blink2 chain... but finally im soo blank where to put them!

Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

preparing the invitation card :

not really an invitation card coz we suppose to pass it before the day right? but we pass them on that day only to uncles and aunties who involve in the so call discussion... hhuhu...

Follow the theme of tiffany! i like! i made it myself... i did the printing job at my office... ooppss! sorry boss!

Touch up work on going for the 'hantaran' :

............. esp the Sirih Junjung! the hardest part okey!

its almost 12am... and i think everything are ready for tomorrow... lets go to sleep! tomorrow i have to look fresh and gorgeous! of coz! hahaha.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

engagement preparation : platform!

What a tiring vacation! mission accomplised! now, there is 1 week left before the Dub.. dab... dub... dab... day! ahaha...

yup! as a virgorian... im a perfectionist! buttttttt........ money change that fact... haha... but i dont care, i still wanna have some kind of simple dias or just a platform for the engagement. thinking of Hadry's family who came from Kelantan, Kuantan where its quite far from Bangi, of coz... they will expecting something WOW! Bangi-ian are superb! last minute but still can handle this kind of beautiful event... konon! :p

Nevermind... lets stop thinking what people think as long as im happy... huhu...

wow! thats superb! buttt.... ok, stop dreaming! my sis told me that she has a friend that can help us.."Wedding Galore". We rent their stuff but we decorate by ourselves... i said ok... sould be no problem! i love to do this job... btw, this is my first experience i guess... chayo' chayo'

http://weddings-galore.fotopages.com/

I just wanna have as simple as this dias... the concept... simple and nice...

Start thinking of the backdrop - maybe i can use the sliding door curtain... so thingy that i need to rent are : the platform, fluffy white carpet, the round flat pillow where i will sit on it, 2 big bouquet of flowers on top of the box and another 2 small bouquet on the floor. no chandlier... so sad! but maybe we can use 2 small spotlight from the floor and shoot upward.

i also love to have sooo many many pillows like Elyana's nikah dias... since i gonna wear tiffany color dress, i would use to have a light, dark color of green pillow cover and some grey color effects. actually, i wanted to have turquous color of pillow cover but i cant find them! so sad!
