Wedding Colours

Salam Syawal..

2 weeks to go. Allahuakbar!! Life does feel different now..
when you're seventeen or even six months out you might obsess over wedding things just for the fun of it, but when it's only 2 weeks to your wedding you do actually have to think about it all the time.... (sumtime rs nak pitam) becos all kinds of 'ntah hape2' needs to be dealt with ;p 

ya Allah.. permudahkanlah segala urusanku...

okay back to business.. this time nak share about wedding theme.. or wedding colors.. betullah, color makes or breaks your wedding day style.. however, my dear bride-to-be, jgn la risau sgt pk nak color ape lah tema apa lah.. becos dlm dunia serba moden and canggeh ni senang sebenarnya untuk kite nak dptkan idea or quality info.. WWWing je lah~ hehe

so sy pernah buat 2 tests, on which wedding colors best suit my style.. :) boleh buat kat theknot.com :) or mana2 lah nnt u google lah sindri :) so this is my result.. tak main2 tau and sgt best color ni dan rs mcm happy sgt sbb nak buat color ni.. yehuuuu! so ni kite panggil, The Princess Bride's.. hahahhaa!!! princess hokeh!!!! a Moslem Princess actually :)

   
{Green, Gold, Yellow + White}


The Princess Bride's Palette
So they mentioned that, the colors that move me are the colors that make an opulent, unforgettable "this is my Wedding Day" impression. Unswayed by fads or by too much tradition, the hues of my choosing are always feminine, always classy, and sometimes a little over the top. hahahaa!! 
Few combos are as rich as platinum and pearl and these metallics were made for my no-holds-barred taste. We may choose pearlescent card (yes we did!!) stock for our invites and dress our maids in rich platinum shantung silk.  (yg ni beyond my control lah!.. sebab kite bukan anak Datuk nak sponsor sumer.. ehehehehe ;P
The grooms can wear matching ties or vests and everyone can carry gorgeous pearl-toned blooms. To take my color scheme in a more feminine direction, I may work with tones of pink -- incorporate a whole palette of them if it suits me, from the palest rose, to the most vibrant fuchsiaConsider palest blue and lightest yellow for a more traditional take on your color combos, and to move in a more modern direction, color your fete with always elegant navy blue and gray.
well, tak perlu la semua nak ikut cakap cikgu, u can always try to improvise and pandai2 hidup bak kata orang (almaklum.. ni nasihat seorang lecturer kepada students2 nye yer! hahahahaa.. ni case sbb tak suke nak spoon feed students lah.) so kite rejected navy blue or palest blue sbbnyer nak gantikan dgn emerald green or palest gold and of course to have the traditional look kite akan letak color light yellow.. :) ok done!!
kite tgk my color palette jom :)
 
but harus diingatkan... :) duduk kat malaysia ni and dengan cuaca tak menentu dan dgn budaya kemelayuan, susah nak lari ke english sgt :) susah lagi2 kalau ade people yg resist to change.. hehhee.. bukan kite nak lupakan adat melayu  tu.. tp more on to play with the concept.. u noe~ :p
takpelah..  jadinya kite tgk lah nnt, buat apa yg termampu and bersedialah untuk redha dgn kacaca-merbaan pd majlis sy nnt :) hehhe ;P yg penting semua happy and Allah berkati :)
okay lg satu color scheme :) hehehehe :D jom tengok

        
{Orange, Ivory, Peach + Olive}



Spring Shades

This is a fair share of peach and green weddings, but have you seen too many olive and orange weddings? Nope... me either. hehe.. olive ni becos mom da bought a curtain of this color. kalau tak nak jugak try mint green :) hurm takpelah kan.. Yes.. it is good when you're able to strike a balance between big bold statements and softer elements. I think this is romantic jugak la kan.. :)







haihlah... im melting~ :D rs mcm nak jd wedding planner pun ader. hehee :p
really hoped for the best from all of the family members and Jemari Kreatif :)

tu saje for today :) nnt kite cerita panjang2 lagi k.. shall see you soon honey!

love from the bride-to-be,

Photographer's checklist

Hi readers.. 
so sorry for the long hiatus! heee :D Selamat Hari Raya...

to be frank, sy mmg dah panic lah! huhu.. mcm2 dalam fikiran sbb kite da biasa wat keje dalam keadaan yg well-organised so time event sendiri kalau nak difikir semua mmg macam nak pengsan.. bak kata my boss, I am  a bit meticulous and kalau boleh nak tau details dengan cepat lak tuh. so bende2 ni wat sy stress dan sbrnye sy da reducekan tahap 'nak prefect dan best' sy  from 120% to 15% shj... hahahahaha

so this time psl photographer.. nak cerita sket lah.. mmg kalau boleh kite nak hire professional photographer but their prices are too high for me.. ye lah mmg  budget ciput je. ekekkekeke ;P

so kite taknak komen panjang2 lah.. just sy suke photographer yg creative dab professional dan rajin dan MURAH. and I do hv a good friend of mine yg ade potential dlm this industry and baru2 ni kami bekerjasama dlm project Serikandi Boutique so diharapkan abg Helmi and wife dapat menjalankan tugasn mereka dengan jayanya.. nnt amik pic yg sweet2 tau :D ehehhehee

Wedding Favors - Inspirations

Hi sweeties!! 
Yaayyy, its good to be back!! 
Hows ur week? I sure hoped all is well!! Today dah masuk  Monday.. :D saya excited sebabnya.. nak jumpa.. si buah hati hari ni :) (statement yg mungkin memualkan sesetengah pihak) hahhahaha!!

Remember last time I ade buat post sket bout door gifts.. So kite nak share sket lah sebenarnya baaanyak sgt ideas yg best, just tak semua idea boleh diterima semua orang yer.. Especially the mother and father of the bride.. Tu belum masuk nenek or aunties of the bride.. jiran sebelah rumah punye anak kawan sekampung punya adik angkat yer.. hhahahahaa


dah! back to the point..
Eh u guys, pernah suatu ketika dulu I memang beriya2 sgt nak bg 1) cactus as wedding favors.. tak kira lah, cactus ker.. one pot of little tree ker.. :D macam gambar2 kat bawah ni..







bestkan? kalau I buat, I akan letak note "thank you for taking me home" :D hehehe! but mak memang la kata ni idea mengarut, kat negara omputih boleh la katenya... okay mak.. kite tengok yg lain pulak..


 I love 2) handmade soap.. sangat suka kalau dapat ni.. sebabnya sgt practical, boleh guna semula.. guna la balik time travel or tgh sesak2 lupa nak beli handsoap ntuk diletak kat sink ker.. 


I akan bawak usually time hiking. ouhhh lama tak hiking!! last time ke Gunung Besar Hantu tapi tak sampai puncak becos one of my students kene sengat dengan penyengat.. swellingnyer yg sgt serious.. Alhamdulillah we managed to rescue her down, terus hantar ke hospital.. :)


okay nak tengok pic handmade soap pulak?








sangat practical but bit pricey.. jadi kami terpaksa lupakan :)


next?? is 3) handkerchief.. Saya sangat suka.. sbb my ayah and I are such a heavy user.. mana taknyer.. asyik sneezing je.. but kene la yg color2 pastel.. cthnya putih.. sgt sesuai dgn theme english vintage. Yang floral pun cantik.. depends on how you tie up, or letak je dlm organza pouch.. letak thank you tag.. akan jd nice..








haritu kami ade intention juga nak beli bnyk2 kat Shenzen, tapi tak jumpa.. myb sebab tak cukup masa, trip kami kesana haritu pun was on an academic purpose.. 


apa lagi? 4) pashmina!! for girls boleh kan? muslim ke non-muslim semua pun boleh guna.. tapi as again, bit pricey la.. dan boleh beri ke guests perempuan shj.. :) dah payah pulak nak carik bende lain ntuk lelaki.. tak unisex betul. hihi








how bout popcorn? 5) colourful popcorn.. idea ni Amal Aliah yg bagi.. thanks Amal.. Amal kata boleh pergi pasar malam cari sesiapa yg jual popcorn dan suruh derang pack sekali :) yeayyy... it is awesome indeed.. 
so sy suka, myb nak bg pd kids.. mak kata okay.. :) kite dah tempah scallop stickers, so nnt tinggal tampal je lah ok mak!





How sweet it is... :  wedding black favors red white Favor   White Cheddar Popcorn


hurm.. apa2 yg dalam 6)glass jar or mint tin pun sy suka.. :) dan sedang in-trend.. 










jadinya, ayah and mak pun suka letak apa2 dalam glass jar, so we decided to buy it online.. :) dapat price yg affordable dari vendor.. nak tau dengan siapa? boleh tengok my previous post.. 


kami nak letak kurma dalamnya.. ambil berkat bersedekah kurma sempena penghabisan Ramadhan dan bulan Syawal yg mendatang ni :) Alhamdulillah :) 
kami dah pun survey kurma di kedai pemborong.. dekat je dengan rumah di Shah Alam ni.. insyaAllah, tak sabar nak buat packing.. :) rindu dengan kerja2 gift giving ni.. dulu penah part-time die Memory Lane Subang Parade, time2 raya or christmas la ade few companies dtg suh pack the gifts.. :) kite ikat ribbon letak tag and macam2 lagilah.. I miss u boss!! Kak Iza, Ida, Bel and kawan2 yg lain.. :)


okay semua pics kat atas adalah sumber ihsan Encik Google. :D 
time kasih..


Love,
Shafaf the bride-to-be♥

Wedding cards

Alhamdulillah..

Selesai hari yang kelapan ini kita berpuasa, semoga dapat menempuh hari2 esok yg pastinya akan lebih mencabar.. Of course lebih mencabar bg saya si empunya blog nih.. :) dok menghitung hari sambil bekerja sambil kene mengagihkan masa pulak untuk persiapan wedding nnt. 

Terima kasih kepada yang sentiasa mendoakan agar majlis kami berjalan dengan lancar dan sempurna.. Tak kurang juga yg mendoakan kebahagiaan dan kesihatan kami.. Semoga Allah pula yg menghadiahkan anda dengan kelebihan2 lain.. kan Allah itu is the Greatest.. :)

Ketemu lagi this time nak cerita pasal wedding cards pulak.. 

Maybe nak wat story mory about few businesses yg membuat business kad kawen nih. Rasanya dah few years ago I mmg planned nak tempah dari Jentayu Design instead of flying to Bandung or Jakarta or ke Jalan Pudu untuk buat kad kawen nih.. Bef that, have to tell you, I do  prefer bebende online.. hehehe.. that is one of the reasons why do I like them..


 lagi? sebab design mereka sgt best. sgt kene dengan taste. :) price? depends, kalau budget lebih lg sesuai. hahahhaa.. 

nak tengok contoh2 cards yg cantik tak? bukan cards je, mcm2 lagi derang boleh buat, mcm design cover yassin, bookmarks, gift boxes, etc...






Okay tak? :)


Memang dulu kami rancang nak buat one set, kad kawen dan doorgift boxes, tags, stickers.. semualah dengan satu design dr mereka.. tp bile fikirkan yang sayang takut orang buang2 je boxes tu, membazir kan.. (ingat matlamat utama nak dapat barakah) maka kami gantikan dgn glass jar seperti dalam entry sebelum ni.. :) that is how we reduce our budget jugak lah disamping memikirkan future generations.... we have to save the environments.. :D 

Then nak dijadikan cerita.. dapat invitation card dari kakak kepada ex-Dehya, hahahhaa!! tak kuasa nak jeles.. sorry bakal hubby yg soleh!! I dok belek kad tu mcm cantik, tengok la siapa yg design.. owh Kanda Dinda rupanya.. :) the other next few days pulak.. dapat kad kawen dr Farah Aimi, my friend.. cantiknye kad die.. putih je.. tengok belakang from Kanda Dinda jugak.. :) so apa lagi.. teruslah sy browsing.. yes, their designs r not bad, kalau tak percaya pergilah showroom kat Bandar Puteri Puchong :) selain dari dekat dengan rumah kami.. price, rsnye murah sedikit dr Jentayu Design.. :) 

Kanda & Dinda Wedding Cards
contoh design cards..



So kami dah pun finalisedkan design kad kawen.. colour?? of course lah putih :) sy mmg suka putih.. simple.. :) sesuai pulak dengan budget kami.. seriously lebih kurang rm1.00 shj :) termasuk envelop.. 

hope dapat kad dlm next week then dah boleh start distribute ye kawan2 :) 

so kite share sket design of the envelope and front page :) 
yg dah alang2 tak berapa nak suprise nih.. hehe




Lepas tu  good news yg lain, kebetulan mereka sedang buat promotion, dapatla hadiah FREE 300 sms.. Alhamdulillah.. thanks to the big boss lah. Mr. Mohd Natasha yg pada satu hari telah menegur sy di FB offering for the gifts.. so they will sms our guests, as a reminder sehari sebelum or few hours sebelum event :) 


Ape yg kami kene buat now ialah to prepare database.. jadinya.. inilah kejenye.. 
I am thinking of to have a proper ways in doing it.. so I created a form.. takdela nnt susah nak jot down addresses of si dia and si dia.. better to place it in one place :) so nnt kawan2 sila isikan details anda okay.. shall appreciate it so much :)


sila turn to other page okay!! boleh tgk kat bar atas blog :) bawah header.. u may also click to this link..

Wedding stickers, tag, glass jar by Snaf Stuffs

Salam viewers yg budiman
hamboiih.. ade ke dah viewers? hahahhahaa 

okay a must-do thing, ape yg perlu dibuat sebelum nak start buat majlis besar2an dan penuh gilang gemilang for bride and groom ni kan.. ye lah da sakan bercinta yer.. oopss.. this is really not for me.. not a gilang gemilang dan terbilang.. ape lg yg bnyk sgt bling2 kene keluar. hahhahaa... 

In my opinion,
first thing first.. biarlah majlis tu berlangsung dengan penuh kasih sayang dan barakah.. sy tidak menuju ke besar-besaran tu.. tapi more on to accommodate family yg besar dan sedara mara yg ramai.. (since i am a family girl).. 
so dah set ur own objective??.. atau nama lain ialah 1)vision.. boleh tny mr.google ape maksudnye vision nih.. or bukak buku Strategic Mgt.. mesti senang jumpa.. :D

lepas tu fikirkan 2)theme.. ape yg anda suka.. style and design mcm mana... boleh review blog2 or magazines ntuk dapatkan idea.. ataupun g kenduri umah jiran2 or sedara mara.. copycat je.. hehehehe.. okay untuk my theme.. i akan share dalam post yg lepas2 ni..

lepas tu baru buat 3)checklist.. okay i akan share my checklist jugak next week.. hahahahhaa.. sebabnye... checklist ada dalam laptop kat umah melaka.. :) 

kemudian.. dapatkan 4)vendor... yer... salah satu vendor untuk preparation doorgift kami ialah dari snafstuffs... highly recommended.. 


name of the owner ialah Intan Syafinaz yg sangat creative and professional.. :) sukerrr sgt.. so kite tempah glass jar dan all of the stickers, tag, signage and poster.. 
harganya berpatutan.. berbaloi dengan service.. sebenarnye i dah lama follow her design and business.. mcm mn terjumpa.. of course by googling and browsing :) 

Alhamdulillah sy sangat berpuas hati, masa nak finalise design pun, sis intan tak jemu melayan kami yg suku cerewet ni.. (tak mengaku cerewet eh. :D) dua tiga kali tuka design before berjaya untuk difinalisedkan..

pernah dulu ade last minute order untuk majlis tahlil arwah papa Dehya yg soleh, sis intan managed to complete the service within two-days je.. :) siap buat postage ke Melaka.. 

yang best tuh, untuk my wedding ni.. snafstuffs sudi nak hantar all of the goods ke rumah for free, thanks dear cos willing to save our time and costs.. :) myb sebab beli bnyk agaknya.. :) so to potential buyers.. dun worry.. u can always try to negotiate.. :)

kat sini ade teaser sket lah.. sket2 je.. 
hehe

reception poster

door gift stickers

glass jar 

cupcakes topper

flags
*konon2 nak buat dessert table kat majlis akad nikah

so macam mana? okay la kan... for me dah cukup cantik dah :) Alhamdulillah.. kalau berminat sila berhubung sendiri dengan sis intan okay.. 


Love,
Shafaf
