We saved quite a lot of money on our hantarans as we bought all raw material for the 16 dulangs sekaligus, I decorated most of the hantarans and lucky me got such a great bestfriend (my one and only SOEDAYDAH) that lent me all her dulangs for FREE plus lent me the lovely flowers and silver & gold boxes from her engagement & wedding :)
from Azwin to Faizal

the normal boring stuff
the tafsir that we bought at Semua House
sweet plums & chocs in cages
books for hubby
dari dulu-duluuu lagi i have always wanted to give syg books as a hantaran. I love reading & so does he, so wanted to share our interest on our dulangs. Found a lot of good reviews on Ustaz Saiful Islam's books and have also read his blog and rasa sesuaila beli buku ni tuk hubby so he can learn and I can learn together. The books are:
i) 'Aku Terima Nikahnya'
ii) 'Sampai ke Syurga' the second book after 'Aku Terima Nikahnya' and Dr. Gray's famous relationship book
iii) 'Men are from mars, Women are from Venus' and syg punya special request a book on
iv)investment/investing (his new hobby apparently now)
heheh, nothing special about our hantaran cake, just ordinary new york cheesecake from secret recipe :) even one of my aunts had asked 'eh, bday sape ni?' hahah, simple sgt cake smpai dia ingat cake bday je..
well, because most of our budget had gone towards the event at the hall, so we decided to tone down the expenditure on our hantarans. so there you are, no fondant or fancy flowers, i guess the only thing special to me is I bought the cake at a special discounted price thanks to mama's friend who is a branch manager at secret recipe. Got a delicious cake & payed less for it :D
syg's huge sized ring, batu zirconium

ELLE handbag & polo shoes, huu, tak sempat kumpul duit sampai boleh beli coach sebijik, heee, ala apedehal, kahwin is for a lifetime, u have a lifetime to buy me all those
branded stuff syg ;)
body shop aqua set my favourite smell
syg's side beli cake choc from bakers cottage
9 balas 7 dulang = 16 dulang
materials for deco
(flowers, glue, polistyrene, etc-i still had a lot of my tools)
all cost around RM250
that would mean on average RM16/dulang :)
budget? yes i was such a tight budgeted bride
Eventhough my hantarans & deco are nothing much to flaunt about, but I have this sense of overwhelming satisfaction, becoz even tho simple, tak grand, tak mahal, I did it by myself & that always makes me happy (the feeling of being in-charge, hehe). and decorating it myself saved me alot alot alot of money..
thus, put aside the fact that i didn't get enough sleep 2 weeks before the wedding because I only had time to d-i-y everything late at nite/early in the morning, it was really worth it :)
tapi if ada duit, tempahla kat professionals or ur other family members to do it, lose a bit on the stress and sleep part, hehe
