pinky-polka-dots favor

my 50 ordered cuppies were not enough for doorgifts. dotty's comrades suddenly becoming 40 and mom expected total guests for my engagament not anything lesser than 100. to add the cuppies is not possible due to Azura's now closing for Valentine's cuppy promo while Aisram not taking the short notice cos handmade box isn't a one night job, dear.

last resort : DIY!
bought another 50 pcs of pink & cream bakul jerami. (rm22 for pack of 25 pcs ..)
leceh la 2-3 biji sweets ni, so finally settled down with mini Toblerone each box, senang. (rm8.45 for pack of 16pcs)
since there were some leftovers of my potpourri mini jar last time, haa let's have that brilliant idea of tabur menabur the potpourris in the box together with the mini toble. apart from giving some artistic touch on it, it comes with good smell, toooo. *sniff*sniff*

and finally, ribbon-tie as finishing. with polka dots printing yeah!

baru siap 4 bijik dah sibuk nak blogging haha.

boringla ikat-ikat ribbon ni, haih.

calming the jitters

February, a month of LOVE.

With this whole romantic mood & sorta calming the jitters of my coming engagement, i decided to drop by Floristika Bangsar with my sis today whee. it's a wholesaler of fresh flowers and i must say, the place is soooo heaven!! cos they have all my forever favorites - gerbera, calla lily, hydrangea, peony, eusthoma, carnations and oh, the list just keep going *grin*

dont bother to ask me any comparison with freshy in Petaling Street cos honestly, i have no idea on the pricing. considering February is the month of most expensive any roses could be isk, so to be getting rm26 for 20 stalks of those stunning red roses i consider cheap kot? no? roses petals going for rm10 per bag of half size of my arm. temptinggggg.

my engagement will be on Valentine's so i'm thinking of buying the fresh cuts by this thursday. must be a busy day for me, cos friday dah cuti and driving to penang. considering the constraints, better i just get from Floristika which like 10mins from my apartment rather than rushing to Petaling Street kan.

i'm going to DIY my handbouquet, and confirm - it's going to be RED ROSES..!

so cancel la dgn Nasz whom i asked to touch up my artificial tulip for handbouquet. hey, still not wasting cos i already got a BIG plan for those tulips. they gonna be the star on that day - thanks SSF for the idea, never seen any wedding done that yet *surprise*

for the love of green & white - orchids!

gerberas going for rm7/bouquet

eusthoma and err, friends? hahaha

make ways for roses, please!

Valentine's Day signature @ rm26

went to BSC to collect my hantaran dates. haiya, cute-boy-blessed-with-arabic-looking-and-superbly-speaking-English (fuh, panjang gile) entertain me last week takde lah pulak :P tepakse lah deal dgn brother Bob yang sombong itu, nasib baik dpt free testing lagi pistachio biscuits yang sedap ituuu. kalau tak, memang saya marah ye. and here's the sneak peek of my Bateel..

paper bag je lah dulu ..

classic white

another backdated entry, sorry..!

after like half day visit to Pameran Pengantin, we decided to check out bridal houses & wedding deco shops in Plaza Alam Sentral. Frankly, wedding boutiques in S.Alam are a little pricey than the rest part of KL/Selangor that you could find (Jln TAR, Kajang etc). But the bridal outfits that they offer for rental were mostly to-die-for, haish yummy! Few that i could name here; N'Flair, SheNadz D Wangga etc.

But the highlight of this entry is about this deco shop. Really really forgot the name, sorry!! Located at highest floor kots. A go-gaga-over place for those in love with English concept.
Snapped some piccies, ideas sharing for wedding deco (room, maintable, mini pelamin etc)..and yes, all WHITES..cos i'm so loving white...!!

classy white pelita

long, sleek pelita

white mini candle stand for maintable, perhaps

something for your mini pelamin..?

and jeng jeng jeng....i found something that my bestie Lion was looking for. English white tray!! weehooo selling at rm19 (small) and rm29 (medium) one...!! Way cheaper than Semua House; rm29 & rm39, huh.

wedding scrapbooking!

MPH & Kinokuniya have been my fave spots lately.
And i've been there for 3 days in a row - and not less than 2 hrs for each!
Reason? Hello, whereelse in this world you could get FREE reading on ANY topic of your interest?? Nak2 wedding book/ref yang super expensive tuuu...

But this time around, i'm not just looking for wedding free reading :P
I'm planning to scrapbooking my engagement journey, so here's what i found..

Darn sweet :)
But that was the last piece left, with some part of it has been torn, huh vandalisme..!I was asked to check back in 2 weeks time for newly ordered stocks. ouh, ok..!

cheap glass containers

Darlings from Sher

if you're looking for cheap vases or glass containers for your flower / deco, try Kedai 5 Ringgit @ Midvalley.

Suggestion for :

- room deco

- bedside table deco

- side of your mini pelamin

- hantaran

- kenduri table centrepiece takyah la..cam tedious je & after tu nak buat ape container byk2 ehhe

if flower arrangement is not your thing, you might opt for water fillings with perhaps some floating mini candles & flowers :) but this would only suitable for wide open surface like below :

modern dowry

from KreasiCrea.com

found this while surfing the net.

it's dowry being customed into couple butterflies and framed..

something new, and something cute too :)

kalau mas kahwin rm22.50 boleh la nak biar je dlm frame lps kahwin, kalau yang beribu2 mcm mane?

desire & practicality is a complex relationship *sigh*

his Kimie Kajang's ready for pick up

we went for fitting today. dotty's baju melayu mmg sgt kemas & fit him nicely - so his was ready to be brought home. since i've ehem, lost another weight, mine need some further fitting *wink*
some beading work need to be done too at my neckline, i need an extra layer... i'm a lil upset since they cudn't find my dying rosegold bead to match with the dress. instead, they replaced with peach & silver beads which for me err, a lil-bit-off. a big, stunning brooch would help perhaps?

anyway, Kimie & Umie were very helpful in assisting my needs :) i had my eyebrow done at his place too, since yesterday's threading was done at a very kelam kabut mode in Ampang Point grr.

so, all the best for coming Tuesday!! phew.
