the first time i saw this pic, it made me thinking - apart from deco, this would also be great wedding signage! a personalized balloon, hanging at few prominent places on the way to your home reception. since my house tepi highway je, we can just keep 3 pieces as max. mylar/foil balloon is recommended as they can float/last longer, but i prefer plastic balloon (macam beach ball tu) as they are better in appearance :) i'd love them in white, but simple tie of tiffany ribbon at the bottom would make them even livelier, kan?
been searching high & low for this personalized balloon, mostly found locally are limited to latex and mylar balloon huhu. otherwise, got to resort to simple written signage with hanging tiffany & white latex balloons. but latex balloon cepat kecut, and am not sure their reliability during sunny day hehe! while the risk of having this too could invite attention to kanak-kanak nakal untuk memecahkannya :P or worst, due to it being unconventional in malay wedding, our guest may not even know it's actually a wedding signage!
earlier, i thought to print the balloon with "arrow" to indicate direction to my reception. but but, they're floating anyway and the "arrow" could be misleading in the end. tak pasal-pasal guest sesat nanti, so i scrap the whole arrow printing idea :)
i hate to admit that i'll trash them once the wed is over. or most, i'll keep one, fold them nicely & paste them in wedding scrapbook to reminisce moment of being dreamy bridezilla hehe!
Finally, we make it to her majlis bertandang. We among the earliest to arrive gara2 my fiance tersalah beli show GI Joe 2.40pm at midvalley #$%^&*@ I insisted to wait until pengantin sampai & sempatlah tengok them gorgeously in songket berarak to their beautifully decorated pelamin :)
Segan pulak nak say hello & bersalaman dengan pengantin while kompang masih dimainkan. We had to leave by 2pm, time tu us dah macam ular sawa cos perut masing2 dah full dgn makanan yang sedap at her kenduri :)
to Diah & hubby, selamat pengantin baru! thn ni raya rumah siapa dulu? hehehe :P
Was on leave yesterday, had the chance to visit Pameran Pengantin in midvalley. Pelamin di entrance sgt cute, with home miniature backdrop & little birdies by Rins Suzana. Somehow, i feel tahun ni tidak semeriah dulu & halls pun not fully occupied. NGI occupied 4 booths, with his gigantic pelamin nikah (at 5-figures RM!) im not really a fan of royale-type pelamin he had, but shades of pink used, mmg drooling!
Lots of new faces joining, prices not that competitive, except they have lots of freebies to offer & result of some pun cantik jugak e.g. Dina Halim's white pelamin, with my fave shaggy carpet (booth 58 & 67). guna artificial je, but i like flower arrangement at both sides, siap ada tumbuhan hijau kecil yang comel di bawah tu. and those tiny candle stands too! panel pelamin pun unik, cos hujung nya melengkung sikit. Visit kali ini hanyalah berjaya mendapatkan decorator for his hantaran :)
Was late for appoinment with CT Catering that evening, sesat. Hall dah siap setup by then :P Fiance arrived by 8pm and we stay sampai majlis selesai, giving ideas how event typically going at our hall. We had problem with their opened doors & lighting, there's still room for discussion later. Regarding food, we pretty satisfied and Uyaa was right, their rendang daging sangat sedap :)
