Tea sachet cover

Remember I post entry tentang Strawberry Tea tuh?

Click here to read more.

One of my silent reader email me this picture:

I love the idea!!

Like, so MUCH!

Unfortunately, my mom tak bersetuju dengan idea ni. Hihi. Dia cakap, nak kasi pulut kuning la, nak kasi itu la, nak kasi ini la, ni nak add another favor lagi! Hahaha. Cost lagi! Hahaha.

Okla, I anak yang baik, jadi ikutkan aja. Hihi. Nama I membawa maksud 'Cahaya Pemberian' jadi, I memang selalu bermurah hati, nak bagi macam-macam. Haha. Tak berkenaan.

Okla, for those yang nak kasi strawberry tea, boleh la kot nak cuba this idea. I suka sangat! =)

Tema majlis resepsi

Ada yang bertanya, majlis resepsi nanti tema apa?

Rahsia.

Hahahaha.

Agak-agak, kalau letak formspring.me, apa lagi la soalan-soalan yang muncul eyh?

Korang ada soalan nak tanya, tak?

Hehehe.

Ok, mengarut tak habis.

Berbalik pada persoalan tadi, tema resepsi nanti, traditional mix modern.

Waahahaha.

Suka tau! Ada nama-nama tema ni. Haha.

Tipu.

Takla, saya masih mahu kekalkan tradisi melayu itu.

Itu saya.

Mahu juga sentuhan up-to-date, katanya, di hari wedding, tapi, tradisi melayu tuh saya mahu lebih la.

Takla, wedding saya bukanlah seperti majlis pengsohoran raja sehari tuh, ko gila?

Hahaha. Duit mana nak cekau? Wahaha.

Tapi konsep begitulah.

Songket.

Tarian.

Cucuk sanggul.

Kebaya labuh.

Merenjis.

Pantun.

Kompang.

Get the idea?

Haa, begitulah, nanti. InshaAllah.

Yang baik datang dariNya, yang buruk datang dari saya sendiri.

I know, it's not going to be a perfect wedding day pun,

Tak pela tak perfect, yang penting keberkatan dalam hidup kami.

Mohon dipermudahkan semuanya.

Mohon semua orang gembira.

Mohon majlis diredhai dan diberkati.

Amin. InshaAllah.

Ada yang tak suka typical baju kebaya yang penuh beading semua tuh, but, I myself, prefer typical baju kebaya labuh penuh beading tuh.

Semuanya terpulang pada citarasa kan?

Ada yang tak nak pon bunga manggar.

Tapi, InshaAllah, majlis saya nanti ada bungga manggar.

Ada yang tak nak pun bersanding.

Ibu mahu, jadi turutkan sahaja.

Yang penting takde jampi serapah. Haha.

Baling-baling beras. No, no.

Renjis air mawar kasi wangi perantin, boleh? Hihi.

Ada yang tak kasi telur rebus hari resepsi.

Saya pun tak tau kasi ke tak.

Saya nak.

Mak tak setuju. Katanya, takde sapa yang nak rebus telur. Hahaha.

Jadi, masih 50-50 di situ.

Lain belalang, lain padangnya,

Lain orang, lain citarasanya.

Ewwah, cepat balas. Hahaha.

Saya mahu hari perkahwinan bagai ibubapa saya dulu.

Ada hari bersiram.

Ada malam berinai.

Ada merenjis.

Ada berarak.

Ada berkompang.

Ada bersanding.

Songket bunga penuh.

Cucuk sanggul.

Manisnya sang puteri!

Terpelihara santunnya.

Itu yang saya impikan.

Hihihi.

Of shoe design: Part 1

Ini pusingan pertama mencari design kasut yang sesuai.

Hihihi.

Chunky beads.

White in colour.

Nampak macam best je, kan?

Fully covered.

Silver, metallic.

Glamorous.

Another glamorous shoe!

Hihi. Glam betul.

Open-toe.

Suka.

This is perfect!

Loveeeeeeeee!

So much!

Cerita tentang kasut nikah

Mencari kasut nikah bermula dari sekarang!

Hihihi.

My nikah dress will be in soft/light grey in colour.

Sedikit pening untuk mencari warna yang sesuai untuk dipadankan dengan nikah dress.

Complicated kah saya ni?

Ngee.

Googled, and found this article:

High-Heeled vs. Flats

For bridal gowns and wedding dresses, most are designed to go along with high heels. Gowns with full skirt or long trains are the ones that will go best with 3-inch heels, as the shoes not only accentuate their length and elegance, but also helped to avoid stepping on the dress itself.

Checked: 3-inch heels, informed the tailor

Comfort vs. Style/Pricing

Being stylish/scrimping back on cost is not as important as being comfortable, especially with the pair of shoes. Take note that a wedding can last for a whole day, and being in a pair of uncomfortable shoes for the whole day can cause serious problems for the feet. Don’t forget there is also the dinner banquet after the wedding ceremony.

Checked: Comfort shoes

Traditional White vs. Colored

When one mentioned wedding shoes, white is the common color that comes to mind. However, with the advent of colorful bridal gowns and more creative shoe designs, pastel colors are another popular variety for those who will like a fresh twist, while colors such as red, orange or in the neon range are available for the bold ones.

Checked: There will be pearl white and swarovski crystal embellishment. So, I opt for white. Argghh, help! Ke nak royal purple? Arghh, can't determine!

Covered vs. Open-Toe

Open-toe shoes have been quite the trend nowadays in casual fashion, as well as formal ones. Obviously, for the bride who prefers a more traditional or formal look, covered shoes will be the choice, compare to the more informal open-toe style. Brides who don’t think their toes look nice, or haven’t had a pedicure are also advised to go for covered shoes.

Checked: My toe nails tak la cantik sangat, but will be covered with inai nanti, InshaAllah. So, I opt for Open-toe shoes for nikah. More laid-back i guess. hihi.

Buat bride's maid

Sorry, lama tinggalkan blog.

Komen pon tak terbalas.

Nak add new link pon terkandas.

Janji, esok ok?

=)

So, today, I cuma nak share idea, tak banyak, sikit je.

Hihi.

I once read an article, if we have bridesmaids, suruh/paksa (HAHA) bridesmaids spray perfume yang sama dengan bride. Hihi.

Jangan lah sampai berlebihan.

Cukup dengan bersederhana.

So, I was thinking to give a miniature perfume to my bridesmaids!

Hahaha.

Setelah lama memikirkan, apalah yang patut I beri pada bridesmaids I sekalian.

Serius, I pening betul bila fikir bab ni.

Nak kasi lipstick? Colour macam mana pulak nanti?

Nak kasi cermin? Hurm, setiap dari kamu, mesti punya cermin kan?

Lepas tuh nak kasi apa?

Finally, lepas baca article tuh, I macam nak kasi miniature perfume untuk diorang. Hihi.

Lepas tuh wrap elok-elok dalam sheer organza pouch.

Lepas tuh paksa, sila sembur perfume masing-masing sekarang!

Hahaha, kejam di situ~

Ingat, I'm the bride! Hihi.

Sekarang sibuk duk berkata tentang Vera Wang wedding dress, ehem, hihi.

So, I google je la image Vera Wang Perfume.

And, this caught my eyes.

Source: Google Image

Very the wedding kannn..

Princess giteww tauuu..

Nanti nak pergi test bau kat kaunter. Haha.

Ada nak suggest perfume yang best-best, tak?

Hihihihi.

Okla, mahu tido. Selamat malam.

Dah, tak tahu dah mana tempat yang cantik. Care to share, orang-orang Kuantan?

Thank you.

Strawberry Tea

Korang pernah dapat Strawberry Tea as wedding door gift tak?

I tak pernah.

And I suka sangat kalau dapat!

Hihi.

First time I rasa Strawberry Flavoured Tea ni waktu my bestie pergi Cameron Highland dan belikan saya satu kotak as a souvenir.

Memang I teruja sangat!

Itu lah first time I rasa. Yerps, I kuno. Haha.

And since then, I selalu terbayang-bayang and terbau-bau aroma Strawberry Tea ni.

Sampai, bila kawan I update status kat facebook, something like this la: "Nak ke Cameron Highland, ada nak pesan apa-apa, tak?"

None other, I pesan satu kotak Strawberry Tea ni.

Dah dapat. Puas hati sangat!

Suka.

Dan, tiba-tiba, terfikir, erm, why not Strawberry Tea as a door gift?

Kan best, bila semua orang balik rumah, and rasa teruja nak buat teh strawberry. Hihi.

Aroma manis wangi je, mesti teringat kat wedding I. Chey chey chey.

1 satchet dapat jamu 1 family.

Bukankah itu manis?

And found out, boleh shopping online lah!

Cameron Valley: Strawberry Flavored Tea

Sampai terus di muka pintu.

Bukankah itu menyenangkan?

RM8/box

25 satchets per box

Decor part?

I'm sure korang lagi creative kan?

Korang rajin kan survey for idea?

Buat homework and update kat blog.

Thanks, sayang semua. Hihi.

xoxo

Diam tanpa kata apa-apa.

Aww, this is so sweet!

Manisnya.

*nangis*

Hihi

She said "Yes!" from Matt Mordarski on Vimeo.

I dilamar tanpa video.

Tiada cerita menarik untuk dikongsi.

Hehee.

Jangan tanya, boleh?

Pernah, saya baca nukilan kalian yang dihujani dengan pertanyaan: "Duit hantaran, dia kasi berapa?"

Cuma baca, dan senyum. Dan tak terfikir pun akan dihujani dengan persoalan yang sama.

Dan kini, saya akui, soalan itu saya hadapi.
Perasaan? Tension.
Tapi, Alhamdulillah, dapat di atasi dengan emosi stabil. Haha.

Jawapan saya standard, " Parents aku yang bincang time merisik hari tu. Kata diorang, terpulang pada pihak lelaki, berapa sahaja yang mampu, asalkan tak berhutang. Jadi, berbalik pada keluarga lelaki untuk tetapkan".

Soalan berbalas: "Aih, takkan ko tak tau berapa, kot?"

Terkedu. Sama ada nak bagi figure terus dan fikir akan diam selepas itu.

Tapi, saya jawab: "Hihi. Aku dah bercinta lama, 11tahun, bukan duit dia aku nak, tapi ikatan yang sah. Aku setuju je ngan parents aku, berapa sahaja asalkan tak bebankan dia dan bebas hutang. Terima ajala berapa sahaja pun yang dia mampu. Mak pak aku memang tak tetapkan nilai hantaran. Semuanya terpulang pada kemampuan dia. Setuju aja".

No figure.

Soalan lagi," Takdala, saja nak tau, ko kan budak masters level".

Jawapan selamat: "Tunang aku baru kerja je la. Bukan anak Dato' pun. Aku pun anak orang kampung aje. Semuanya terpulang pada kemampuan dia".

Terus tukar cerita. Cerita pasal kisah orang lain.

"Ko tau, kadang ada parents perempuan yang lebih-lebih. Mintak banyak-banyak sampai pihak lelaki kena berhutang. Kesian ok!"

Kemudian, cerita bersambung tentang hutang selepas berkahwin.
LEGA. Hahahaha.

A vintage kurung modern for my nikah, InshaAllah.

Alhamdulillah.

Kain nikah already sent out to the-person-who-responsible untuk jahit my baju.

I hope it will turn out as what i wish. InshaAllah, Amin.

Pray hard.

Please, i beg u, don't ask me who is the person, ok?

If everything ok, InshaAllah, full review nanti after my nikah day.

Kalau tak ok, ehem, perlu ke bad review? Tihihi.

I choose chiffon for my baju nikah.

I told the-person that, i love ruffles, i love bling-bling, i love buttons.

Konon-konon nak buat theme 'Romantic Glam'.

Hahahahahahahhaha.

Tak tahan, nikah pun ada tema giteww~

A vintage kurung modern. Moga dapat direalisasikan oleh tukang jahit-ku. Amin.

Sebab panggil vintage, sebab nak la kan letak 2d flowerie. Tihihihi.

We'll see, if 2011 still a trend with those 2d flowerie ni. tihihi.

Kalau tak, I cabut la. Haha.

I've done my research on how I want my baju nikah.

Hope you've done yours.

=)

*It's time to shopping a perfect nikah shoes pulak!*

Nasrah, aku tau ko dah beli gorgeous kasut nikah, jeles!

Yeay!

W-progress: List-to-do

I miss blogging so much.

=(

Alhamdulillah, sini ada wireless connectivity. Suka ya amat! Haha.

Jadi, akan pulang ke Kuala Lumpur dari Penang International Airport hari Khamis, nanti.

Sesiapa akan jejak di Penang Airport hari Khamis nanti?

Temani aku, yok! Bosan kot menunggu flight berjam-jam. Sigh.

So, hari pulang nanti akan ku settlekan beberapa perkara.

Hehehehehehehehe.

1) Caterer - decided, to discuss further and pay deposit. InshaAllah.

2) Designer - Lagi 5 bulan ++, tak hantar kain nikah lagi!! Cuakk! Design baju dah tau nak macam tu macam ni, cuma, designer tak pilih lagi. Sama ada, Mr. R ke, Mr.Z ke, Mr.S ke, Mr.SI ke, Mr. H ker... I suka yang design secara mewah dari segi beadingnya, so, i have to meet and discuss first. Kalau dia kata, "Owh, untuk nikah, kita buat simple-simple je la". Ok, reject kau! Haha. Nak aku bayar RM3k tapi design simple-simple je? Baik cari lain la kot. Sayang nya duit! Huhu

3) Bunga pahar untuk pelamin resepsi - Nak p beli barang mentah aja dulu. Haha. Untuk nikah pon tak siap lagi. Hehe.

Hopefully, misi tercapai untuk kali ini. Amin.

InshaAllah.

To settle by January:

- meet potential decorator, to finalize the decorator

- to buy kain for family members

- to buy a few hantarans during this YES!
