Review Tunang: doorgift

I know i know...this update is sooo lembab. Haha! Anyway, cik orkid nak review pasal doorgift masa tunang haritu.

Bab doorgift adalah mende yg sgtla x istiqamah. Jap nak tu, jap nak ni, n end up beli macam2. Haha.

Bukan apa terpikir orang datang jauh2, xkan nak bagi mende simple je kan.

So konklusinya, doorgift yg sgt variety. Ada cupcake, ada lipstick holder, ada telur pindang, ada customized choc. Ingatkannnak bagi spesel sikit utk kawan2 tp mlm tu dah xleh pikir so letak je la ape2 yg boleh. Ikut rezekila dapat brg ape.

I am so glad dat two of important girls in my life sponsor utk doorgift. Kak dila sponsor telur pindang 200pcs. Sangat sedap! n my dearest bff, syuhada sponsor me cute pouch. Pouch tu handmade. Made with love. 100pcs pulak tu. Terharu sangat :-) thx both :-) :-) sgt sgt sgt appreciate!

Wordless Wednesday: that moment :-)

Review 5: Pakej Perkahwinan Johor

Ehem...masa yang dinanti nanti *bajet* haha. Ok. Review pakej pertunangan. Ramai yang bertanya pasal pelamin ni. Sweet n not overly done. Just nice untuk engagement or nikah. Ok. I admit i'm having hard times hunting for a good vendor. Eh bukan good, i mean yang compatible. Y?

1. Kebanyakan wedding vendor kat johor or jb mmg x berapa update website. I am heavily relied on internet sbb my engagement kinda short notice

2. Oleh sbb no 1, makanya pegi la ke pameran..tapi susah nak cari berkenan..yg fresh, modern, simple n affordable.

3. I dont have any experience kat jb...dat makes things worst..n i hv trust issues...xmain book je. Kena tgk betul2

So masa wedding exhibition tu memang spend masa yang lama n xbook pun haha. Balik, gi tengok semua flyers, tgk website dia n melawat..

Jumpa lian at her studio..terus jatuh chenta. This is it. Dia tawu photobooth, dia tawu candy buffet, guest book, design fresh n dia sebaya je.

Borak2 macam ada chemistry *giteww*

Okok. Cut story short, i discussed with her dgn sketch. Good! Dia terima my proposal dgn her input. I asked her for branch with flowers n ada kerusi (sebab both of my mom n FMIL ada problem dengan lutut, so memang consider them) Idea pelamin tu datang masa jem odw balik ke rumah kat Bangi hahaa. Inspired by pokok2 sakura tepi jalan :P

Cuma bab follow up dia kureng ckit. Haha. Sorry dear. Tp datz not my prob coz my day to day work mmg keje "kejar" orang.. N alhamdulillah i love my pelamin to bits. Dont judge with the pics, sbb pelamin tu kat ruang sempit...so memang xnmpk full n ade dinding... Tp seriusly mmg sama mcm my sketch. I showed to my frens n family my sketch n they were impressed haha (sbb sama, bukan sbb sketch tu lawa)

OK..enjoy the pics :D

I took package with her..include photog, pelamin, makeup n handbouquet. Tapi malangnya handbouquet babybreath impian saya xkesampaian. Tp xkesah sgt, coz i am satisfied with her overall work. Lian jenis yg sgt kreatif, open dgn apa2 suggestions. So sape2 yang memang rajin research, nak unique, vibrant, hire la dia. Coz i have approached few other vendors...selalunya diorang akan ternganga...hahahaa

N at one time i impressed with her sbb i keep on asking y y n y esp on the price. Sori taw sbb my nature of work mmg carik salah org hahaha. Tp dia sabar n PR bagus..maybe sbb amek law degree kot :-)

Recommended: yes :-) insyaAllah i will take her for my wedding

Review 4: cupcake n mini cakes

Alhamdulillah.. Ni pun puas hati sangat2 dengan kak leen dari Loyang Kuih hehe.

Haaaa kepada sesiapa di johor bahru yang nak order apa2 jenis cakes, sila tempah dgn dia k, highly recommended!

Memang selalu tempah dgn dia. Hasil tgn dia memang best n x takot beli cakes dgn dia sbb icing dia mmg x muak.

Most importantly kita tawu dia berniaga dgn ikhlas.. Friendly n x berkira.

Call kak leen dgn otak yang masih tak tetap. Kira2 3 minggu b4 majlis. Alhamdulillah dia masih terima even sgt bz masa tu.

Mintak 100 cupcakes untuk doorgift, tiramisu (baru nak try), n mini cakes untuk hantaran. Kaler bertukar2 n jap nak dome jap xde dome. Haha. Tapi kak leen sabar melayan karenah. Yang best tu siap hantar ke rumah. N mini cakes tu sgt comel n masuk dgn hantaran lain :-)

Tiramisu? Omg the best ever! Tak tipu. Kebetulan ada bapak sedara pny birthday mlm tu, then nyalakan lilin n makan ramai2. Semua puji mmg sedap.

Thx kak leen! InsyaAllah dipanjangkan jodoh memang nak amek kak leen lagi :-)

PS: Dia ada review my cakes kat blog gak hehe

Review 3: Beading beadmeplease

Okok ada yang komplen tak nampak beading. Sbb gambar jauh sangat. Ya ampunnnn.

I buat beading full pearl kat cuff tu. N tambah swaroski n 3d flower kat bhgian depan dress.

Jap tunjuk gmbar b4 and after beading.

Before....

Yang kat empire line tu mmg beli border lace kat jakel. Menggatal kan masa tu sbb kalau ikutkan bagi kat zaza pun dia boleh buat hehe.

PS. OKOK pasni akan review pelamin n mekap laju2. Sabar ye. Hehe. Utk OP Johor Bahru xnak review lagi until dapat gambar :-) owhhhh sape2 B2B johor jum tegur :-) n sume b2b laaaa welkam to my humble blog :-)

Review 2: Baju Tunang

Fuhhh ramai yang tanya taw pasal baju nih hehe

Baju ni bukan pakai designer pun. Guna tailor.

Highly recommended!
My fren yg rekemen her. Dia pun macam sebaya i gak but very talented.

Design from yours truly. Mmg dalam kepala dah tawu nak macam mana.

Masa kecik dulu pernah berangan taw nak jd fashion designer (tak tipu!). Anyway sebab i dah design baju sendiri, makanya tak perlula hantar ke designer. Cuma kena sketch, bagi gambar contoh and terang betul2. Sebab guna tailor kan, so pastikan kita bg diorg clear instruction :-) dan design yg i buat sgt safe. Read: kalo gemuk pun org tak perasan haha. Tapi on dat day kene pin kat belakng sbb longgar sikit. Tu pun aritu da alter sbb longgar (nk gtaw da kurus kot) haha

Chiffon silk n satin silk 4m. Beli kat jakel. Menangis bila keluar duit haha.

So basically my dress ni empire dress dgn kain yg sgt flowy. Mmg suruh umie lipat cara kipas kat bhgian tepi.

Bila siap, hantar dress utk beading kat zaza beadmeplease. Memang totally recommended. Cepat and sgt professional. Bagi requirement sikit je n she used her magic hand to make plain dress to WOW! :D
Memang baju i sgt simple..cantik for me n not overly done. Mmg sengaja x pakai lace utk baju utk x nmpak keterlaluan.

Im not too fancy on heavy bead or full lace. N xsuka baju kurung haha. So mmg decide pakai dress.

Dress ni simple so boleh pakai again n again. Material pun sangat sejuk!
Alhamdulillah kalo compare bagi kat designer, i save lebih kurang rm400 - 500. Memang byk stage n effort. Tp it worths the money :-)
PS: Kaler combo ni masih baru n fresh. Sume puji sbb sgt fresh n boleh jd trend. So siapa2 size M - XL or free size boleh sewa full set dgn tudung n veil. Just email me at orkid88@gmail.com. N mmg snang fit dgn sume body type coz boleh alter kat bust line :-)

Review 1: veil vispera

This is the very very best thing. Seriusly i love my tudung n veil to bits. Rasa nak tido dgn veil tu haha.

I got a lot of questions regarding tis veil. so here it is! my review hehe

Pencarian tudung sangatla memeningkan kepala. Sebab saya ni jenis cerewet dgn tudung n mmg nak pastikan tudung tu tip top.

Haha. Survey2 mmg kene decide yang i have to make a new ones. Sbb kaler saya ni tak pernah dibuat orang. Kalo ada pun its either pink je or yellow je.

So i email n text puan hawa pemilik vispera.

Alhamdulillah dia masih ada slot. Sbb dia ni mcm goreng pisang panas. Brides mmg suka tempah dgn dia.

Jumpa dia di jusco ampang. Try tudung kat toilet situ untuk test ok ke x dgn muka. Decide terus nak amek yg ala2 arab. I dont fancy tudung ada awning.

Bagi sampel kain, diskas mcm mane nak, then done. She is very nice person. N very organized n very talented. I selalu communicate dgn email psl my baju progress. Sbb nak pastikan she got the idea n tudung n veil nmpk matching. Sbb masa book tu, my dress tak siap lagi.

Then few weeks later dia call. I cakap la nak yg meriah, full border sbb dress simple. Then dia pun cari material.

Tanya harga...fuhhhhh telan air liur. Haaha. Okok call her balik cakap takpela, i want just a simple beading..kat atas kepala n bwh je. Dia cakap harap2 dpt lace yg cantik n murah.

Then few days later she called, n said dia dapat lace yg cantik n sgt sesuai dgn my dress. Then dia cakap dia x sampai ati nak buat simple je haha. Sbb kaler tu dia tak pernah buat n sgt cantik. So diskas, dgn some additional charge, we both agreed. She is tooooo nice sbb mase nak amek i was very very busy n she came down to passs the tudung n veil herself. Naik lrt n ktm ok. Dari ampang ke bangi. Adui sgt sgt sgt tharu. Sbb dia sgt excited dgn veilntu n she said tu design baru utk next year. Terharu!

I tried the full set of my dress with my bff, tirah. Both of use were screaming sbb the veil is tooo beautiful (besela girls kan terlebey excited haha)

So sape2 nak buat tudung n veil sy sgt sgt rekemen her. Mmg x rugi spend a lil more money..

Link to her facebook and website.

PS: Siapa yang berminat nak sewa veil n tudung or separately can email me ya at orkid88@gmail.com

Prep Tunang 4: Milestone Schedule

Lepas dah berkejar untuk carik tailor. 2nd thing I did was draft the "milestone schedule".

Yes..I am a planning freak. Jadi tak jadi tu 2nd thing, yang penting plan plan plan.



Banyak template untuk planning gak. Even in google pon. Just go to google document and u can have a lot of planning templates. Complete!

Nature kerja memang project management, so macam dah terbiasa buat milestone, budget, sume2 la. So tunang ni I treated as another project. Mesti on time/schedule, on budget, and quality.

So here is the snapshots... Memang my own version diceduk dari my project haaha. I am busy woman (cehhh) so ada plan ni atlis takdela tiba2 freak out. Boleh tgk our timeline easily. Mcm myself, I am too busy in October so I made tis schedule flexible. So this is the key, planning mmg penting tapi yg paling penting flexibility kena ada. If not, kita yang stress sendiri :)


Setakat ni alhamdulillah, I put everything dlm tis schedule so I still have time for my family, friends and other things. Coz I know there are a lot more meaningful things to take care of apart of your event :)

I printed this out on A3 paper and tampal kat bilik. Alhamdulillah belum stress lagi haaha.

My friend yg B2B pon da mintak n she's very happy with this template. So if u want me to share template yg xseberapa ni email me at orkid88@gmail.com k :)

Prep Tunang 3: Why So Sudden?

Saya terima soalan di atas bertalu2 haha. Different answer to different ppl. Ya ampun!
Soalan di atas sebenarnya ada dalam fikiran saya. Tak mampu dijawab.

Banyak reason untuk delay our engagement or wedding.

1. I am sooo "attached" with my work.

2. I have a lot of things that I have not achieved yet

3. I am not prepared to be a mother..omg

4. My parents dari dulu warn jangan kawen b4 28. Diorang kawen 30-31 haha

5. Most of all, i dont have any savings!!! ok. panic now


Tapi because of the above circumstances, saya analyze (Business Analyst kan) yang sume items kat atas boleh solve dgn kahwen dgn dia

1. I think i will manage my work better. Two is better than 1. Then ada orang support or buat kerja sama2..just like masa kami study sama2 kat uni dulu :)

2. Paling I nak achieve is to open bisnes..and ojan pun berminat...dan kami boleh sentiasa berbincng and buat partnership since dah ada ikatan sah insyaAllah

3. Sgt takut jadi mother sbb i dont think i have enough motherly criteria. Tapi tengok ojan yang expert dgn anak2 sedara, sapa yang taknak mengandung for his child? hehe.

4. My parents sgt suka with Ojan. Period.

5. Duit? Rezeki dtg tak terduga. Bila dah ada aim, semua standard dah turun sampai ke tahap rendah2nya. Bagus juga asal tak timbul riak

Saya juga dah makin jauh rasanya dgn Dia. InsyaAllah kehadiran suami akan memudahkan.. Apa yang kurang sama2 ingatkan dan dosa berduaan sekarang mmg diganti dgn pahala.

I am the kind of person yg afraid of something that is not happening, full of dramas, ego, macam2 lah..again, if i were to summary why I decided to tie the knot..because of him.. and all the hikmah behind it.

Doakan segalanya. It will be very bumpy roads. Tapi insyaAllah berkat doa semua, selamat insyaAllah. Masih jauh lagi....

P/S: Ramai yg tny, mcm mana Ojan proposed. No proposal T.T Banyak kali nanges sbb dia x propose pon (i told u im a drama queen) hahaha

Prep Tunang 2: Hantaran Trays & Decos

Last weekend was a very very productive weekend.
Went back to settle a lot of things..
Since I did not do anything in October, except for the dress, I was quite rushed a bit.

Tapi alhamdulillah, i really love managing this. Belum stress lagi. My "project plan" sgt2 membantu. Maybe sbb kerja project management type of work, so semua plan pon macam nak manage project. My family and frens tgk pon terkejut. Template je gempak.
Tapi seriously sangat membantu especially bagi org yg sgt organized n time limited like me.
Anyway, will share with you in the next entry insyaAllah.


Tentang hantaran trays and deco, memang initially nak amek kat KK Homedeco je. Ada satu kat kajang. Tapi decided beli semua kat JB je.

KK ada sale ok!!! Sampai end of this month. Banyak gila items yg best. Seriously I went crazy there and bought unnecesary things hahaa. It is just my kind of shop.

OK. Untuk B2B yang masih mencarik2 tray yang cantik n murah, KK buat diskaun until 30% untuk dulang n artificial flower, buy 1 free 1.
BEST OF ALL, KK ada diorang punya decorator for free of charge!!! Bayangkan u banyak gila save kat situ ok. I surveyed if guna artificial, paling murah rm35 per dulang ok. If beli kat KK memang sgt save.

I am sux of choosing flower. I am sux at doing DIY je. I'm just good at imagining only. hahaa.

I want it to be simple so I told mama "Ala, letak 2 3 bunga je kat tepi dulang, siap"

My mom replied "Tak seni langsung"

Ok fine. Semua bunga yg I pilih semua kena reject. Muahaha.

Layan je la~ so my mom nak suruh kawan dia yang pernah decorate hantaran dia 25thun lalu untuk tlg deco. Me? Doa je la~~ expect jadi hantaran2 ala2 tahun 80an haahaha. Sebab KK kat JB ni xde hantaran decorator, Cetttt..

So mmg tis is a good investment sbb i am the first child n boleh diwariskan kpd adik n sedara.

Total:

Bunga + lilin (im a sucker of fragrance) + 7 dulang for rm170 ONLY.

Kalau compare rm35x7~~~ banyak saving. Alhamdulillah.

P/S: My mom pon went crazy kat KK ni. She will buy flowers here as well.

Prep Tunang 1: Fabric Hunting for Engagement

Bila tiba2 dapat berita...

Tak fikir lain dah...baju!!!! haahaha.

Very short notice kan. So kena make sure even dramatic tapi bergaya. OK . mengarut.
Anyway...memang ni lah perkara pertama yang dibuat. Carik kain. Nak upah designer memang tak mampu, maka buat long way...beli kain, gi tailor, hantar beading..siap.

Sebab noob pasal kain, maka telefon tailor berkali2 untuk tawu kain apa yang sesuai ahaha.
So atas survey sendiri dan tanya kawan2, pergilah ke jakel shah alam.

Simplicity. Sgt simple. tu je dlm fikiran. So amek plain chiffon silk 4 meter, satin silk 4m n border lace.
Mahal~~~~ tak sangka kain mahal camni. Tapi gatal sebab nak amek gak yg mahal sbb kononnya nampak cantik padahal org tgk sama je T.T

So agak regret sbnrnya tp xpela~ asal puas ati.

Pastu xtido malam. Serius tak tido malam sbb takut tak cantik. Ok. Lets just wait the outcome later~~
