44DAYS

Is still a long way to go right?

Reception Dais

• I have nothing else to add but turns out Naz's side will be doing the same design of dais, damask damask no more. Stress, sad, stress, sad.
• Will it be weird or boring if both events have the same design of dais? And from the talk of his bridal house, looks like theirs will be much more grandiose than mine.
• Should I feel intimidated? Should I change the design now? I still want to keep my theme as sweet & shy with white bases and lilac & mauve as the accompanying colors.
• Got a pair of lace umbrella from Naz's bridal house, only RM15 rent for two pieces! Worth it :D

Solemnization Dais

• Bought the pillows and white table. Needed to buy laces or something to attach at the edge of the pillow because we bought plain colored square pillows. Naz bought something before asking me and when he showed me the lace, I tried as hard as I can to suppress the bridezilla in me. But he saw it anyways and we're gonna buy something else to replace the not so nice lace he bought, so sorry dear.
• Yash already gave me her white fur carpet. Thanks love. Not sure yet what to do with it.
• Will probably make more pomander balls to throw around the dais. Gonna check out Semua House tonight :| Thanks to this sweet lady for her write-up.

Hantaran

• I'm gonna do everything on my own, it's gonna be fairly simple (mostly coz I suck at crafting -_-)
• Tiny beads of pearls, ribbons, felt, and maybe carnations? And nope, not gonna use fresh flowers since I'll be doing it myself so I really don't want to think about dying flowers on my big day.
• But would it be weird using carnations for hantaran and roses for all other crafts/dais/bouquet etc?
• Do both parties really need sirih junjung as hantaran?

Boutonnière

• I'm gonna DIY 'em myself, possibly using craft papers or felt. And some feathers for Naz's side. Yes, I'm gonna do for both events. They're all la familia, why not right?
• But probably gonna do about 15 special handmades ones and for the helpers/little angels I'll make a simpler felt boutonniere.
• A special custom-made illustrated buttons for friends, KIV :)

Madre

• Mom has already handed in our forms to Pejabat Agama and we're waiting.
• Mom is also sewing up the curtains for our old house. All by herself, poor mommy.
• I need to buy fabrics for mom's outfit for Naz's reception, baby blue with black lace :)

Photographers

• We've made our research and we'll be deciding before he goes.

You have no idea how freaking out I am right now, Naz is leaving this Sunday for five weeks and I can't help but cringe that he won't be around at this crucial time.

Family members ...... what? Thanks & thanks for your help.

p/s: Opinions needed pls..

EDIT: Thank you all for the comments & encouragements ♥ I'll definitely call up you guys if I need any help, count on it ;)

Sidetracked into DETAILS

NSFW pictures ahead, proceed with caution.

Sorry Feyonce (better known as fiance), bride-to-be friends and twilight-hater readers; I got sidetracked into DETAILS & think I've fallen in love all over again:

I've actually forgotten how I fall head over heels over this guy (for Twilight & his delightfully funny interviews which followed after) after watching New Moon, got disappointed and completely Do Not Want to know anything about him ever again. I was like a little girl who just got her cotton candy stolen by the boy whom she likes so very much. The boy was mean, and the girl (metaphorically me) no longer likes him.

Though Rob was in no way at all mean to me, I was just expecting more out of his acting in New Moon, and the glimpse through Remember Me has crushed me more & more (still a little too stiff? In my opinion at least). But coming across this DETAILS interview, I was once again reminded why exactly I loved him in the first place.

From beers to elephants to skin eating diseases to porn and back to elephants and some more beers, he is nothing but amazingly quick witted, shy, utterly self-deprecating and humorous too. Looking gorgeous is a bonus. ILUROB.

Read the interview, pls?

I also love the comments about the DETAILS photoshoot:

"I thought he was quite witty and he is obviously very intelligent if not a little dark. These photos are very tastefully done...sexy and mysterious without being pornographic, it was artful. I thought his detachment from the models made it sexier. Like he was yearning to touch them but never quite did."

"As much as Rob would love to entertain the thousands of invites he is receiving from his immediate stardom he has to refrain. Mostly doing this to protect who he is and always so cautious about relishing the moment because someone is always watching him waiting to distort his joy."

Oh Rob. Can't wait for more outtakes from this photoshoot!

And scratch that, I'm looking forward to Remember Me ♥

JEWELRY fit for a Queen (& King)

Custom designed by Alfad & Amir Mirza for my 3 days wedding.

I'm ready to rule the world! (Yeah, you may barf now -_-")

On one fine Sunday, as planned, once both of my wedding dresses is completed on the tailoring stage, we will have a fitting session. To see if it needs any alteration before patch work and beadings are done. It is one of the most anticipated days because then I'd get to see my dream wedding design materialized. But first, they showed me the collection of silver plated jewelries they ordered for my wedding days. Honestly, I'm very amazed that they did so much more than I expected. Even up to customizing the accessories for Naz (dude got a blingin' keris, literally), brooches for his tanjakand two blingin' necklace if he wants to wear 'em for our two days occasion.

I'll, I mean WE'LL be wearing pearl accented accessories on my reception day to match my pearl beaded modern kurong outfit. The clothes (oh-my-god) fits perfectly! No alteration needed, I'm so glad it wasn't too big or too small for me. Less worry there. Being the fussy bride, I so not want to wear the usual pointed kitten heels Malay brides most likely wear (any bridal provides the same type of shoe). And it is so so hard to find white peep toe pumps in KL city. I finally resorted to online shopping *prays hard it will arrive in time*

Amir & Fad is currently finding two similar pearl accented brooches to the one Naz will wear on his tanjak, for me to glue on top of my shoe. So nice the boys, hehe. Yeah well the red sole is very much a cliche to any shoe store right, sorry Louboutin. I'll probably paint it black later (if I can remember to do so, 50 more days OMG!)

Then for the other dress for Naz's reception, here's a sneak peek to my dress;

Black french lace with turquoise satin silk. Complemented with baroque styled jewelries, complete collection are the ones I'm wearing above.

Totally love the baroque jewelry, and the dress is TO-DIE-FOR. Thank you so much Amir & Alfad for making this happen. I can't wait for the dress to be beaded with swarovski and such. I don't know just do your magic, so far it's working! You guys made me feel like the Queen! And as for the shoes, tum-tadam;

The black ruffled beauty from Charles & Keith, Amir suggested adding a few turquoise swarovski on the edges to match it with my dress? Hope it won't be OTT.

Anyways that wasn't all that Amir showed to me, he was designing two dresses for the upcoming Anugerah Bintang Popular, sort of like the Golden Globe's for Malaysia. He just finish tailoring two of his dresses, I hear ombre fabric is popular now, locally.

It looks so much softer, more graceful in real life! Must've been the flash, the color is creamier too supposingly. Love the pleats, so sweet. It's not yet fully finished, still needs to be added with beads & whatnot. I wonder who will wear it that night, hmmm :)

Oh well, I can't wait for the next fitting when the beadings & lace patch-work is finish! Then I'll get to choose & try on the make-up and hairstyle suitable for my wedding :D

p/s: bought Ikea's Lack side table for the solemnization table, yay!
