My Life as a Wedding Planner ~ Part 6

20130114_103047

Designing a bridesmaid dress was as challenging as designing bride/groom outfit. There are so many colours, fabric, style or accessories to choose. They gave me freedom to actually design whatever I like.  Wowww Freedom!  I won’t put it as easy but it’s an opportunity to brush up my skills. I need to strike a balance between the character of the person who going to wear the bridesmaid dresses, the budget as well as tradition versus latest fashion.

Both of the bridesmaids are teenagers. Taking into account teenagers now a day are very stylish in comparison with the teens in the past. . Their clothes always into current trend.  So I decided to design something modern, simple & sweet for them.

My Life as a Wedding Planner ~ Part 5

I absolutely love to go to wedding that have beautiful decorations. There are so many things that need to be done to decorate for the wedding in order to make the day simply beautiful. To me the real wedding begins at the reception. The first view of the pelamin (bridal bed) is always my favourite. 

Guess what?... I had a chance to actually design the pelamin.
 *Excited Please!*
Duh! Of course, I didn't build the pelamin by myself...
I just designed it & tell them what to do & what not. 
Yeah acting like a boss... :-p

*Drum roll*

Look at this.... :-)

Okay enough!
 you can close your mouth now...I know its beautiful...hehehe

I wanted my cousin’s wedding design to be modern & elegant while reflecting the sense of Johor traditional. By knowing the concept of the pelamin, it enables me to have more focused approach to plan the whole wedding decoration. So I decorated the halls & pelamin with lots of flowers, pastel colours, white tablecloths, gold, & light.

 Nothing over the top just a simple yet sweet.

My Life as a Wedding Planner ~ Part 4

Going to a wedding it's not complete without wearing something beautiful. It’s never wrong to wear killer outfits for a wedding and be the best dressed guest. :-)

Oh come on!
Everyone need to look beautiful & cheerful on wedding day. Right?
 As long as you not overshadow the bride & decide to wear white. It is totally acceptable! :)

 As a wedding planner I was so busy with the wedding stuff.
 I literally forgot to sew my Baju Kurung....emm yeah... you read it right.... 
Like Hello *pinch myself* 

I have NOTHING to wear. 
* emm...actually I'm sure there is something I could wear in my closet*
but still....I have NOTHING to wear... 

I bought the fabric months before the wedding & did cut it....then I totally forgot about it.
A day before my cousin's wedding i just realised that  the baju kurung actually not ready yet for me to wear.... -________-
*keep telling myself to breath & keep calm* 
With my passion, skills & focus....*I want to wear this! I want to wear this...that's all in my mind*
 I did finish sewing my baju kurung in a day...
Repeat after me IN A DAY! 
*Hugging the dress....oh good girl, mummy love u !* ;-)

My Life as a Wedding Planner ~ Part 3

As to design bride & groom wedding's outfit. I overcome obstacle to choose the material & colour which they wanted, Oyster grey. It’s not easy to find the right shade that suits their skin tones and their taste. We were looking all over the places. At last we found the right shades & materials of fabric at Arab Streets, Singapore. It was so funny because we have to drag the groom which is my cousin’s Hilmi to shop with us. Her mother said if we could peel his skins it’s much easier. Apparently the groom was very busy due to his tight schedule of working life and well boys! *cliche*  it’s a bit hassle to make them cooperate when it comes to shopping... :-P

Choices of Fabrics. All I wanted for the bride and groom to feel comfortable so they could eat, breath, move and more important to look good in it.

Since they wanted a Johorean traditional feels, so  the bride & groom’s need to wear baju kurung & baju melayu  ‘Teluk Belanga’.
