KL Reception [021010] : The Details (2)

haha, and when you think all of this is over, 

yet again comes another KL wedding entry,

kalu tak tulis semua ni aku akan lupaaaa ..

FAMILY THEME

once i had confirmed me & syg were wearing light grey for our reception, maka i wanted my family to wear the same (bigger family were already told they can choose to wear either pink or grey or both).

for the record, ada wedding tips that i had read in blogs & magazines said that its better that your family is wearing a different colour than the bride & groom. supaya tak "tenggelam". actually btul sgt point tu, tapi dalam kes aku, i dont mind tenggelam with my parents and siblings. aku mmg NAK kitorg sedondon on our day :) ikut selera masing2 rite

kain light grey kami telah diborong di Jakel, sumpah if nak lagi murah beli kat Nagoya, tapi masa ni alang2 nak cari kain lace tuk mama & wina, kami borong ja sekaligus. RM14/m. haih, mahal gak kain satin ni, tp kain tebal & berkualiti la kot..

alololooo, comel nya mamaaaaa

(kat blakang tu pekerja jakel keee? eyh, wina buncet rupenye)

we (me & wina) finally decided to buy mama this ^

suh mama pilih, haih, duk tarik gak lace MERAH (her fav colour)

.penat aku layan. hahaha

yang ni plak ^ kain tuk wina



modelling sket kain lepas dah beli,

kurusnya model mama??

teeetttt, hakim jadi mangsa :D

ini gambo jejaka2 selepas kain jakel mereka

 telah siap dijahit di pasar datuk keramat

boleh la masa ko masih kurus & tegap awan ;p

our greyish clan

BRIDESMAIDS OUTFITS

muka masa ni aku memang mengaku, bridezilla habis! hehe

pasal aku beli 7 pasang aku dapat muraahh harga kain lace ni :)

sian makcik pekerja jakel tu yang aku duk berlakon banyak kali that aku taknak beli, me & my nego style could get me killed by a sales assistant someday. aku tau dorg sume mesti ckp aku kedekut/cheapskate gileee

ada aku kesah? hee

packing baju bridesmaids utk di-distribute

siap tanda nama setiap sorg

seb baik korg sempat siapkan baju masing2, heheh,

reminder aku sentiasa on sepanjang tahun tahu x?

(fyi, we live all over msia, oh and masa tu , sorg kat aussie, sorg kat UK)

*selendang hasil sponsor from Haida, jahitan sendiri (ohh, i got one toooo)*

SEGAK MALAY GROOMSMEN

alah alah alah..hencemnyeee, from left- jenal, fahmi, kaye

fahmi tak pkai baju guna kain yang aku bagi (x sempat nak buat), tapi aku kagum dia dpt cari baju pink to substitute it, heeee


lagi satu set kain satin baju melayu to forever forever buddy karon lo chun chet (klcc) hehehe, first time pkai baju melayu penuh dgn sampin! hencemmmnyeeeee jugak ;)

WEDDING OUTFIT

al-kisah dari awal, ada terfikir nak tempah baju custom-made, tapi nda jadi, pasal i know aku akan fikir byk sgt smpai stress and i have no idea whatsoever in fashion and i suck at pilih kain/design baju sendri, maka di atas nasihat kengkawan yg lebih berpengalaman aku mmg tekad cari baju di bridal shj :)

i went to a lot of bridals, ALOT.

if dorg takde baju light grey, aku trus cancel,

dorg ada cadang boleh buatkan aku baju baru,

tapi mahaaaal, out of my budget

hunting punye hunting,

pegi melawat butik,

nampak kain ni tergantung

light grey

takde beading lagi

aku tanye aunty bridal tu dia plan nak buat cmne baju tu?

aunty tu plan nak jahit manik light pink

KEBETULAN YANG MENGEMBIRAKAN

thus terus lah testing2

 

erk, fitting yang selebet & muka penat (belum alter ni)

baju syg pulak, of coz totally buat baru,

mmg secara logic pun xde bridal yang ada baju saiz dia. hahahaha

so syg dpt baju baru, utk tambahan RM150 sahaja

yang penting warna tersangat match dgn baju aku

WEDDING SHOES

kasut ku di nose pavvillion sahaja. suka. hari sanding, by the time dah kul 4.50pm-5pm bru sakit kaki :D good shoes! i love you!

THE RECEPTION HALL

I booked my wedding hall a year in advance! check out my previous post for those details.

thus one of my compulsory points in my 'things-to-do' list menjelang july 2010 is to check out the hall & draw out the hall area& all its facilities :)

oh selingan, i also drew up my own map to the hall, try google kat internet jumpa google maps jeh, luckily mama had a friend who was having her daughters wedding at ampang hilir so i used their map as a basis. Utk bakal pengantin yang nk guna gemalasari as ur wedding hall, here is the map i jotted down wif wina while on the way back to work (ye, my office seblah tabung haji tu je) heh

ada gps koordinat juga,

triple zillion times aku check nak make sure betul :D

dalam lift

first things first, aku check facilities yang ada.

Item No. 1: ada surau yang luas
 (senang utk my family & guests to pray & berehat)

surau is on the same level as the dewan

tempat ambil wuduk (lelaki)

Item No. 2: stage tuk pelamin

-kat dewan ni ada dua pentas,

gambar kat bawah ni is pentas yang besar,

masuk je pintu dewan nampk trus,

the other stage tu kecik sket and ke blakang dewan,

ada gak or buat pelamin kat situ tp dia agak tersorok sket

Item No. 3: Meja pengantin

Item No. 4: Parking

ni gambar parking VIP kat depan bangunan

ini gambar sesaje tangkap, facade of RISDA

okeyh, penat dah tempek gambar,

if korang berminat nak sewa dewan gemalasari kat bangunan risda,

 jln ampang nih, just email me at zephyred_tiara@hotmail.com wokeh.

can give u the details of their package

-since dulu aku cuba google info psl dewan ni xbyk jumpa link,

 so i share my experience :)

*senyum sorang-sorang teringat kenangan terindah ni*

KL Reception [021010] : The Details (1)

THEME COLOUR

i had decided on light pink-grey theme way back in this post. What influenced me to chose these colours? Haaa..sebab musabab nye adalah seperti tertera dibawah:-

1) cari colour/combination of colours that my larger family has not used yet for any wedding/engagement, etc.

2) cari colour yang boleh blend in with the wallpaper of my wedding reception hall (dewan gemalasari has the walls full of red maroonish wall paper)

3) choose soft colours as both the pengantin are soo 'cerah' :D

4) make sure not to make syg wear pink for sanding/reception, dont want him to hate me for a lifetime, hehe

5) ouh, fell in love with angkasawan's engagement colour outfit ;)

so blush pink + light grey it was ;)

 

TABLE CENTERPIECE

after confirming that the catering package that we took did not include centerpieces for the table, I decided to customize the centerpieces by putting pictures of us on every table.

Memang cadangan asal is to put empty jars on each table, then sumbat gambar kat dalam tu, advantages is jars tu mesti see-thru, so tak de la risk of terbang or kena percikan lauk, hehe

tengok-tengok, Martha Stewart pun ada penah wat jugak :)

disebabkan nak save cost, maka pencarian jars kosong bermula, agak susah nak cari 35 jars and last2 give up sebab xnak buang masa lagi (also kena marah dgn kaye sebab x btau da awal2, dia baruuu je disposed quite a number of jars, haish, xde rezeki la tu,hee)

thanx to our pengapit karon,

 we used these expensive bottles for our centerpiece stands

me & my groomsmen mengerjakan centerpieces tersebut

jars selebihnya tu guna botol kaca ikea (yang diambil dari rumah kaye jugak), asalkan ada stand, kira okla tuuu


gambar2 plak, mintak ain tolong tempekkan logo kat setiap satu, customizing namanye..hehs

banyak gambar ktorg bercouple..

and also gambar dgn family :)

me & my dayangs finishing off sticking

 the pics on the chopsticks and placing them into the jars

my guests at the table with the centerpieces

 (pinjam gambar dorg jadi model kejapp) 

ash , model hensem memperagakan our centerpice.heee

BAJU FLOWER GIRL

i had earlier cancelled to have any flower girls due to some problems encountered during the process, eventho i had already bought the dresses, masa tu dah tak peduli, nak cancel jugak atas dasar malas nak layan kerenah org yang menyakitkan hati..huhu 

thus sebab syg dgn baju cotton berbunga2 yang aku pilih sebab sweet & sesuai tuk budak2 pkai dgn selesa, aku bagi baju tu kat dua org anak sedara aku (my kazen's daughters) supaya dorg boleh pkai dgn penuh kecomelan & keriangan. haha.

thank you Iris & Mimi for not wasting aunty aweens money on the cute dresses :)

haii si comel aish.gmbar mimi plak xde.. 

GUESTBOOK TABLE

there are so many choices to opt for when doing ur guestbook table, me as similar to other b2b's, pening kepala nak choose which one:-

1) Custom make my own guestbook- rasanye ni paling senang, ada satu buku je where all guests can sign sukehati, after wedding just tinggal nak selak je n bace

2) Wishing Tree

3) Polaroid guestbook- yang ni kena invest in a polaroid plak kan, but i so love the idea

4) Wedding guest cards- in the end i opted for this with the help from my bestie pojan becoz she said it would be easier if the guests could rite down their wishes at the same time or even take their cards and rite it at their tables and drop them in the jar on the way out.

lagipun she was the bridesmaid-in-charge so guest cards it was!

inspirations came from:

can also check out Martha Stewarts website

only thing left to do, execute the nite before....

dayangku fauzana@ pojan ketua guestbook table ku..

the most detailed dayang .

I LOVE YOU!!!

  

pesana bergambar from ash

dayang2 ku bergilir2 jaga my guestbook table

some of the wishes

nice wish syg! hahahah, bengong!

and by the end of it all i stuck them all in a

sticky album and decorated them with the

tid-bits pojan had made for mee

CORSAGES

i really wanted to have badges for my reception since before i got engaged lagi, just wanted to have the feeling of having custom made badges makes me smile (even now) hehe.

first step, survey survey survey..good thing i did too, the prices i had stumbled on were quite surprising, one shop even charges RM25 per badge. u must be freaking kidding right? 

masa survey tu, siap2 dah bawak thumbdrive with the softcopy of our logo so boleh tunjuk the designer terus how i wanted the badges to be. found a reasonable priced shop, (actually bukan stakat reasonable, aku rasa murah gilee) and ordered them on the spot (okla, i did tell the designer to show me the design and colour and after being a bit bossy bru paid deposit, hee, betta betulkan design seblum dia cetak rite)

i think i bought about 40 badges kot.

 time nak collect tu alin teman me naik lrt lagi, hehe, thanks yang!

setiap badge utk main committee ada jawatan masing2

and the colours pulak ikut warna the baju that

they would be wearing during the reception

(contohnya my bridesmaids were wearing pink,

so their corsages had to be grey, klu x tenggelam kaler) 

oh, pastu aku order jugak badge bride & groom eventho of coz ktorg x kan pkai masa wedding kan, saje nak ada badge juak, nnt aku dengki tngok org lain sume pakai, heeee

the other badges were for the other family members and helpers ;)

si hakim my youngest bro, 

having fun running around rather than helping out.

masa aku tngah bersanding dia dtg kat kaki aku, 

and asked "along, lama lagi ke? jom balik"

haih, along yang cukup 'penyabar' ni pun jawab:

 "tunggu la habis semua org makan dulu ok"

HAHAHA.mmg wedding org lain kan ni??
