June & July updates

I have friends complaining, kenapa i don't upload my blog as often as i use to...

well  

no1)  i have finish uploading entries on my nikah..if anybody wants me to upload any specific entry regarding my nikah...do email me at sabsabby22@gmail.com

no 2) MOST IMPORTANT , in July, ialah bulan yang paling kami busy because we are planning for 4 major functions...

- nikah my sis

- our joined reception

- tandang on habibs side

- tandang on my sisters future hubby(inshaAllah)'s side... 

but its going to be so exciting...

some has said, wah you must love weddings so much, to have a blog, and write about it...well to tell you the truth, its not just weddings..i love any events that requires planning.. and we(+ my family) love planning from family holidays to family gatherings to raya, anniversaries and birthdays......hehhee...its not just planning a wedding that gives me that rush..is planning anything, that involves decorations + theme...

i love decorations ALOT...to me flowers are absolutely beautiful...esp fresh flowers...Allah swt gave us flowers for us to decorate, and i will make full use of it..ehehehe....and you know the best part about flowers, we MUST use it to decorate, because if we just leave it on the pokok, it will still die...

but the funniest part is, i hate receiving flowers as a gift...i don't allow my hubby to buy me a bouquet of flowers to give me...because its just soo mahal and most of the time its tak cantik, because to me flowers wrap in plastic like that mmg tak cantik, i can do better myself.....if he wants to give me flowers, either from cameron, floristika or petaling street..hehehe...and it must be loose flowers, coz the best part is to arrange it sendiri...

speaking of flowers, hari tu, i tolong one of my good friend for her hantaran...we went to floristika together to buy flowers, of course, the bride choose the flowers herself..like me she loves eustoma and carnations..i love these 2 flowers..mmg sgt cantik...i also helped buat the handbouquet.very uniqe yellow flowers..of course, choosen by the bride herself..hehhee...tapi i cannot find any picture of it...hmm must ask from her...

i did it at the last minute, 1 day before nikah baru nak sibuk arrange, padahal be bought the flowers 3 days before the nikah..hehhee..me the procrastinator...

previous wedding favours..

This time, i want to share the favours for previous weddings in my family...coming from a rather big family, with 5 girls...obviously we always opt to decorate the favours ourselves..hehehe...and Alhamdulillah so far everything has worked out great for us..

let me start with our first ever wedding in the family, for this reception we decided to give out face towel...to follow the theme, my sis custom the towel with purple embroidery of her and her hubbys initials..
To decorate it, we cut a piece of paper rolled it together with the towel and tied it with a silver string...we didn't have a separate gift for the kids..hehe.yelah our first wedding ...we didn't know at the time...the results...hehehe..as the picture below....
For the 2nd nikah in our family, one of my dear sister decided to make something special...the best choc dates i have ever tasted..hehehe...yummy-yummy...but for my nikah my sis will be too busy, so i decided to buy it from marry me gift & such ..inshaAllah...

For her reception, we gave jams..tiny jam bottles..we ordered the jam online, from a Malaysian website, so they posted it straight to our home without having to pay tax for jams..so best...

the decor was rather hard to pick out because we wanted to be just as cute as the jam bottles..finally we decided to stack up the jams and tie them up together with ribbons...all the decoration stuff was bought from ssf..hehehe...

results..ehehe..because this was paling susah to do (our fingers were sore tying the ribbons), and we made like 800 of them, so i have to say this is my fav..also because the jam was my idea...hehehe.i wanted to give honey out as my wedding favour, but it turns out that not many people like honey....hmm..

For the children we bought chocs from mydin in subang, and wrap them up with around doily paper hmm i think thats what they are..hehehe...

For the 3rd reception, we gave out natural soaps..we went to Bali and went crazy with the Bali soap..and somehow my brother came up with the idea to give them out as his wedding favours..hehhe...of course we didn't have to go Bali again, we just ordered them online..heheh..and they shipped it here...it came as a package + the thank you tag sekali...this was the most expensive favour actually..sbb the shipping was quite mahal + the thank you tag all and the tax..yes..the tax yg buat it mahal......but the best part, we didn't have to do anything...and of course my family was very happy with the results..they even custom the colour ikut our theme..ehehe

for the kids we gave them helium balloons and chocolates..urgh i forgot to take the choc pictures..and the official photo from the photographer tak siap lagi..(yes it has been 6 months n still 1 picture pun we havnt seen yet, so sad because they are very well known photographers)

helium balloons was a hit..and the adults pun tak habis2 asked for the chocs...so both of them finished first..hehehe

In conclusion, i think chocolate is somehow paling diminati ramai...I'm very particular with chocolate taste, so inshaAllah for my reception we are going to buy terus from the factory..heheh..tapi lama lagi.. and of course the helium balloons for the kids....

Kurung modern inspiration....

While hunting for a design for my baju of course, i saved up a few pictures of baju that caught my eye...and i noticed a pattern..most of the bajus that i saved are all nikah outfits..and they were all rather similar..

oh no don't get me wrong i don't hate kebaya at all..in fact i love them..but not on myself..the kebaya somehow does not flatter my height and my body shape, or maybe i should get a new tailor??hehehehe..



anyway just wanted to share with everyone some of the pics that i saved... fyi, because some of the pics I've saved more than a year ago...I've lost the source of the pic..so sorry..

I love so much the simplicity of the baju...this was taken from arma wedding couture...the kain part is my fav...

I love her outfit so much..but a simpler necklace would have done justice to her neckline..

can't deny that she had a pretty baju nikah..but i personally think she didn't need the huge tiara..

ohh..i actually really wanted one of my attire to be just like this, a simple top and an elaborate kain..but where on earth do we find a material like that???..tried searching for it everywhere..last2 i gave up...urgh sadly had to toss the idea away..ohh actually i love most of rizalman's design.....it is very simple and elegant

i know this is actually not a bridal dress, but i love the kain for this kurung, its one of rizmanruzainis fav style ..and the colour..i'm a sucker for earthy tones..

this one was because of again the colour..kudos to rizmanruzaini...

This is my ultimate dream dress...Rizalman, i absolutely love this..the simplicity..the colour..
