Qudyn's Magical Fingers

Qudyn has been in the industry for quite a while now. I first heard of him about 3 years ago when one of my girlfriends was getting married. She ended up not using Qudyn's services but instead she chose to work with Syomir Izwa.

Recently our fashionably gorgeous blogger friend Zaza got married and she used Qudyn's services. And I must say that she couldn't have chosen any wiser. Zaza appeared for her nikah like a vintage Goddess; accentuating her classic lace kurung with pearls instead of the usual blings seen for weddings. Her reception dress was so gorgeous that it would probably have made Allahyarhamah Saloma turn in her grave. It was a beautiful silk dress embellished with beautiful lace embroidery and beadings.

Qudyn's workmanship for her dresses was flawless. Just have a look for yourself.

Congratulations on your wedding Zaza + Hash. Semoga berkekalan ke anak cucu. =)

The Bridal Bouquet Concept

Fresh flower bridal bouquets are beautiful. But sadly, they don't last forever. Lepas mengheret bunga tangan tu kehulur kehilir sepanjang hari, bunga tu kalau bleh tahan seminggu dah kira untung dah. Preserving your bridal bouquet is good option for you to keep it as a keepsake from your wedding provided of course the flowers you chose can be preserved eg. roses. Tapi kalau bouquet tu guna flowers like orchids or hydrangea's; lupakanlah niat di hati nak simpan bouquet tu. Unless of course you send it to preserved professionally which can be quite a pricey option.

The good news is that there are bridal bouquets that will last f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Here are some unique and fun bridal bouquet ideas. You'll be able to keep these for a lifetime without having to worry about the flowers rotting away.

Wedding Invitations:The Old vs The New

Apa pendapat korang tentang kad kahwin? I mean, there are so many different options of wedding invitations out there; some are simple, some are extravagant, some are unique and some are super fun. And of course la bila kita pilih kad mewah, harga pun mewah and bila kita pilih kad simple, harga pun simple. So kad kahwin jenis apa yang korang suka?

I personally think that wedding invitations should be kept simple because simple also means cost-efficient. Takde la membazir sampai budget tuk kad kahwin dah sampai beribu Ringgit. Why? Because people throw them away. Only those who are close to you are likely to keep your wedding invitations because there is sentimental value to the card.

Most Malay wedding invitations come in folds. Tak kisah la dia 1-fold ke, 2-fold ke, 3-fold. Yang penting, mesti nak kena ada fold {please don't penalize me on this statement; it's merely an observation I've made based on all the wedding invitations I have received} like the one picture above. And prices for cards like these can range anything from RM2 to even RM8 per card. Kidding? Nope. Tak kidding pun. Tak percaya pergi la buat Google search and check out some of Malaysia's card vendor prices. I think it's ok to order cards like these but probably just for the close family members. Tapi kalau nak bagi kat semua orang memang tak dapat la.

Think about it: eg. RM5 per card x 1,000 guests = RM5,000.00

Do you really want to spend that much on invites knowing that they'll be thrown into the trash bin? Baik spend duit tu on a better photographer ke, on a nicer wedding dress ke apa ke.

This is a more western influenced style for wedding invitations. Size biasanya A5 {that's half the size of our usual A4 paper}. But this trend is still very new in Malaysia. As a matter of fact, when printers see these A5 cards, they're intrigued. Even friends and family members are impressed when they see these cards. Prices range from as low as RM0.45 per card to RM0.65 per card for a 1,000pcs.

Now think about this: eg. RM0.65 per card x 1,000 guests = RM650.00

You see the price difference? You've saved RM4,350.00. Apa lagi? Go for a nice honeymoon la with all that money you've saved.

screen shot: wedding kami

Now here is something that is very economical: the e-wedding invitation. Not only is it affordable but it's also very environmentally friendly. A girlfriend of mine recently hired Wedding Kami to design her e-invitation for her and I must say that it turned out pretty cute. Prices from Wedding Kami are also reasonable; ranging from RM400.00 to RM1,500.00 per invitation and they've also got the option for you to get these cards printed out {biasalah tu, tak semua orang berumur reti nak check email or even go online kan?}.

So.. Which type of wedding invitation would you go for?

Indie Wedding Songs

Not everyone wants to have the same old pop songs playing during their wedding; provided of course the parents don't have a say in the selection. You can find a million and one romantic love songs online ranging from the 1960's all the way to the 2000's but finding those special Indie songs with a love message in them is not an easy feat.

Personally, I've always been a sucker for music. Same goes to the hubby. And we're on a completely different scale of music: He mainly loves Metal amongst other genres while I am a little more into Electro and Indie these days. So for our wedding video, we wanted to express who we are with the songs that we selected. So for all you Indie lovers out there, here's the list of songs that made the final cut for our full wedding video:

1. The Pogues - Love You 'Till The End
2. The Cure - Love Song
3. Bob Marley - Is This Love
4. The Beatles - Love Me Do
5. Adam Sandler - I Wanna Grow Old With You
6. Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body
7. The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
8. Jack Johnson - Better Together
9. Coldplay - Fix You
10. Muse - Endlessly
11. No Doubt - Running
12. The Cranberries - What's On My Mind
13. The Wannadies - You And Me Song
14. The Ramones - Baby I Love You
15. Dashboard Confessional - Stolen
16. Bittersweet - Get It On

Like this? You can download the songs here.


ps. Yes, I know. Muse isn't Indie. Neither were the Ramones nor Bob Marley. But at least they're not pop songs. ;)

Download Freebies - Budget Planner

One thing that many brides & grooms or parents fail to execute smoothly in planning a wedding is managing the budget. Once you have set the date for your wedding, you should start planning out your budget right away. Kenapa? Agak² je tak boleh ke? No, tak boleh. Because without a budget planner, you'll be spending away without keeping track of all your expenditures and chances are that you'll end up spending more than you can afford. Some people even end up taking personal loans just to pay for their wedding and that's not good. Not good at all. Think about it: Do you really want to start of your marriage having to pay for an unnecessary loan?


We've set the date of our engagement/wedding. What do I do now?
Awesome! You should start planning your budget now.

Why is budget planning so important?
Weddings are expensive affairs so planning your budget is very important. You don't want to end up spending too much on one area and then end up not having enough money to spend on another area. Planning your budget out in advance will help you keep track of all your estimated and actual expenditures.

How do I start planning my budget?
Start by creating a budget plan. You can also download the free engagement & wedding budget planners I have created from the links below. Once you've decided on how much you are willing to spend on the entire wedding eg. RM35,000.00 you can start filling in the blanks in the budget planner. The budget planners that I have created are extremely detailed and cover almost every aspect of a wedding so be careful not to miss out on any of the details.

I've exceeded my budget. What do I do now?
Alright. Say your budget is RM35,000.00 but after filling in the budget planner your estimated cost has risen to RM40,780.00. What you do next is carefully look at your estimated cost again. You will definitely find areas where you can cut your cost. Eg. You estimated RM10,000 for catering. Perhaps you can re-negotiate with your caterer and get them to give you a discount. Do note that sharing your budget with your vendors while you negotiate is a good thing because most vendors are willing to give discounts to work around your budget. This scenario can pretty much apply to any other areas. Before you know it, you'll be able to cut your costs here and there and you'll be able to meet that RM35,000.00 budget of yours.


You see, by having a budget planner, you'll be documenting every single cent that you are spending. And at the end of the wedding you'll know exactly where all your money went. AND, if you behave; the budget planner will help you stick to your budget. Happy downloading and happy planning! ;)

Why the new Bridal Supernova? Well.. Bridal Supernova was never my personal blog. It was our wedding blog. So since I finished blogging about our wedding, I thought it was a bit odd to keep updating the blog. That's why I've moved the "original" Bridal Supernova to another URL so that those memories can be left untouched.

For now, you guys can still read all my previous posts (February 2009-June 2010) on this blog but please be warned that I'll be deleting the old posts very soon. The "original" Bridal Supernova blog that you guys know has now moved and been renamed to Our Supernova.

My Final Post - Our Wedding Video

This will be my final post. Because this post sums up our wedding in its entirety.

Unlike most of my other posts, I'll keep this one short and snappy because there isn't much to say. Semua benda yang perlu dikatan tentang our wedding, aku dah katakan dalam post² aku sebelum ni. So kira our wedding video ni macam ringkasan tentang our entire wedding. Initially aku tak nak post video ni cos.. Well.. It is our wedding video. So ingat nak keep it private la kan. But then again, videographer dah post kat blog, website & account Vimeo dia so I know that a few bloggers like Sofia and Yaya have actually seen the video a while ago. So since ada a few yang dah tengok, I decided to share it with all of you.. ♥

Untuk pengetahuan semua, Johor ni tak ramai wedding videographer. Kalau ada pun, most of them agak ol' skool. Editing video macam kat zaman 80'an & 90'an; agak ketinggalan zaman. Yuck! Masa nak book videographer for our wedding plak, those yang aku minat (macam CSP dan sewaktu dengannya) dah ada orang yang book so nak tak nak aku terpaksa cari videographer yang based kat Johor. Alhamdulillah, akhirnya aku jumpa gak sorang videographer yang not bad kat JB. Korang bleh baca previous post tu kat sini.

Our videographer Sulaiman, dari Manis DV Studio was a very cool guy. During our wedding dia buat kerja dengan senyap, tak perasan pun gerak geri dia. Tau², dia dah ada kat tepi la, kat depan la, kat belakang la hehe.. Editing dia pun not bad la gak and harga dia pun affordable. Buat mereka yang bakal bernikah di Johor, silalah check out Vimeo page Manis DV Studio. Ada banyak lagi wedding highlights yang dia upload kat situ..

Sedih. Ni la dia post terakhir about our wedding. Aku rasa ada beberapa benda yang korang akan tanya ataupun comment pasal video ni so aku bagi jawapannya dulu ye hehe.. ;p

Kenapa masa starting video tu nampak macam kelam kabut je semua orang?
Memang kelam kabut pun. Sebab macam aku pernah katakan dulu, semuanya aku ngan Winder yang uruskan dengan bantuan mummy dan abah aku. So masing² tengah serabut. Takut ada je benda yang terlupa. Last minute barulah orang nak sibuk tolong². Hais..

Kenapa time Tok Kadi berdepan ngan aku sedara-mara aku semua berdiri?
Haaa.. Sebab.. Sebenarnya tetamu yang dijemput dalam 70 orang sahaja. Tapi yang datang dalam 100 lebih. Jadi, rumah abah aku tu jadi sempit. Tambah plak tu s-e-m-u-a orang seboleh-bolehnya nak tengok akad Nikah. Inilah jadinya hehe.. Sampaikan tahap hantaran perlu dibawa naik ke bilik, sampaikan tahap aku tak dapat duduk kat bantal pengantin yang aku dah sediakan, sampaikan tahap mummy aku sendiri nak duduk pun takde tempat. Ni la jadinya kalau takde RSVP. Ish.

Tok Kadi aku ni memang kelakar ke?
Hahahaa.. Yes!! Tok Kadi aku memang the best. Nama dia Ambok Achok dan dia memang kelakar gila! Asyik buat lawak je si dia tu. Kepada sesiapa yang duduk di daerah Taman Perling, Johor Bahru; tahniah! Anda bakal diijabkabulkan oleh seorang Tok Kadi yang sangat best!

Kenapa aku nangis masa sanding tu?
Untuk pengetahuan semua, abah aku pernah kena serangan jantung a few years ago and he had to undergo major surgery. Alhamdulillah, dia recover tapi dia still refuse untuk berhenti merokok. So masa dia merenjis tu aku berasa sangat bersyukur sebab abah dapat tengok anak perempuan dia yang sorang ni kahwin dan sebab tu la airmata aku ni melimpah.

Memang sengaja ke kitorang menari kat hujung² video tu?
Tak. Sebenarnya time tu kitorang tengah buat photoshoot. Tapi Sulaiman sempat shoot. Kan aku dia cakap; si dia tu berkerja dengan senyap. Tau² dah ada..

Kitorang berlakon ke tuk last part video tu?
Sekali lagi, tidak. Semua tu diambil masa photoshoot.

Kenapa aku tak cakap langsung dalam video ni?
Entah. Tak terpikir pun nak cakap apa². Rasanya sebab minda aku sentiasa memikirkan the wedding preps and if everything will go smoothly. Inilah jadinya when you become your own wedding planner. Sigh.


ps. Tolong abaikan muka aku yang basi kat screen shot ni. Masa tu tengah nervous berdepan dengan Tok Kadi hehe..

The Tale of My Punjabi 'Wedding Gown'

The tale of my Lengha (baju tradisional yang dipakai oleh pengantin perempuan berbangsa Punjabi) is a long and hard road traveled. Truth be said, I actually started looking for my dream Lengha way before I started looking for my Javanese dress. Where did I finally buy it? Longgg story..

The hunt began at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Ye la, mesti la kena beli kain kan? Korang boleh baca pasal outing tu kat sini. So dah ke Jalan TAR kali pertama, tak jumpa apa². Sebab untuk pengetahuan korang, kain Lengha ni lain skit berbanding dengan kain sari biasa. Material dia tebal skit and it's more silky compared ngan most kain sari yang ala² chiffon tu. So ok la, kat Jalan TAR tak berjaya, aku ngan laki aku try kat Klang plak. Kitorang pun jalan la from one end to the other end of Little India kat Klang tu but no nice Lengha materials in sight. Tapi kat satu kedai ni kitorg jumpa this really nice Kurta (baju tradisional yang dipakai oleh pengantin lelaki berbangsa Punjabi) in white with blue embroidery. Punyalah cantik! Winder pun dah macam jatuh hati dah. Harga?? Sangat berbaloi! Hanya RM450 ok? Tawar punya tawar, at last dapat la untuk RM380 kalau tak silap. At least satu dah dapat la kan? So next mission, cari kain sari berwarna biru yang matching.

Since kat Klang tak jumpa kain sari kaler biru, minggu depan dia kita pun try balik kat Jalan TAR. Bawa baju laki aku tu ke hulur ke hilir untuk cari baju yang matching tapi.. Takde kain sari yang matching. Masa tu dah tinggal brape bulan je lagi nak kahwin. Rasanya dalam 2-3 bulan lagi kot so aku dah memang rasa cam nak nangis. Takpelah, kuatkan hati. Pergi Little India kat Klang tu lagi (travel dah macam orang gila kan?), and... *drumroll* alhamdulillah kat satu kedai kitorang jumpa this very, very nice sari material yang agak grand dan yang matching ngan baju Winder tu. Apa lagi, grab trus bayar la! But.. Yes, there is a BUT! Bila sampai rumah and aku letakkan kain sari aku tu kat sebelah baju Winder, tak matching LANGSUNG ok!! Shit! Rupanya kat kedai tu pakai lampu kuning sebab tu dia nampak matching. Tapi bila tengok kat bawah cahaya lampu fluorescent or even in the daylight, the colours did not match. At ALL! Sigh.

Back to Klang. Pulangkan kain tu. Refund? Tak dapat, jangan harap! Tapi aku dapat tukar ngan dress Punjabi lain. Ye la, nanti Deepavali bleh pakai buat jalan² pi visit family laki aku hehe.. Lepas pulangkan kain tu dengan muka yang dah nak nangis aku ni, kita try pusing² kat sana sekali lagi but... Nothing. Bukannya aku ni mengada-ngada pun nak tailor-made sangat. Kalau ready-made pun aku takde hal. Masalahnya 99.99% of the Lengha's yang mereka jual kat Jalan TAR or Little India Klang gunakan fabric murah. Kononnya chiffon but you can easily tell that it's actually polyester. Gila ke nak pakai polyester tuk sanding? Confirm panas!

In our final effort to look for something, we decided to look for ready-made ones in City One Plaza yang kat sebelah Semua House tu. For those of you who don't know, City One Plaza is a heaven where you can find kain songket, kain pelekat, custom-made bridal shoes and even jewelery. And I highly recommend anyone whose planning a Bollywood-themed wedding to shop there because they have so many options of ready-made Bridal Sari's and Lengha's. And harga dia pun boleh tahan affordable. The only irritating part about looking for ready-made Lengha's is the fact that most (all) shops don't hang them. They're individually packed and stacked up on shelves so kalau nak tengok tu memang tokey kedai kena tarik kluar satu². Anyways, kat sana pun aku tak jumpa yang matching ngan Winder punya. Hai.. Apa la nasib. At last, aku dah nak nangis. Wedding lagi 2 bulan, Lengha takde. Tapi thank God I have Winder. Masa aku dah nak terduduk dan menangis kat tengah² jalan bila tetiba dia cakap, "Let's try this shop.." - salah satu daripada kedai kat deret Jalan Masjid India tu. Aku cuba gak nak argue, nak cakap "It's no use, we've been everywhere!" tapi nak cakap pun macam dah tak larat dah. So Winder pun tarik tangan aku and aku pun ikut laki aku masuk kedai tu (Sorry, nama tak ingat. Nanti aku try check receipt kat umah). We went straight to the 2nd floor (Kat kedai² Jalan Masjid India kalau nak cari ready-made, naik atas terus je cos kat bawah tu memang mostly jual kain sahaja.) and I started looking right away. And there it was, sitting on the top shelf. Apa lagi, aku yang pendek ni terpaksa minta Winder tolong amikkan. Aku try. It was perfect! Perfect, perfect, perfect! Perfectly too big too hehe.. Serious. I wear size XS and I think it was like a size M. Takpe. Boleh alter kan? Price? RM480. Oops. Over budget. Yes, because aku kan dah terbazir duit kat Klang masa beli kain yang tak matching tu. Dammit. How la? Cuba tawar, tak dapat. Cuba lagi, dapat la discount skit. At the end selepas kita berdua merayu-rayu, tokey kedai cakap baju tu sangat sesuai ngan aku. And since it's for my wedding, dia tak nak disappoint aku so he closed the price at RM400. Sold! Hehe..

Last step was to send it for alteration. Kita hantar kat kakak Winder punya tailor je. And guess how much I paid to alter both his Kurta suit and my Lengha? RM100? RM200? Wrong! We paid the tailor a mere RM20 for both because he was doing Winder's sister a favour.. =D

And that ladies and gentleman, sums up the last detail of our wedding. I only have one entry left. After that, I'm done. ♥

Selamat Pengantin Baru - Aim & Suffian

Just like the title of this post reads, I'd like to wish Aim & Suffian (one of the cutest and bubbliest bloggers I've met) Selamat Pengantin Baru. I couldn't make it for her wedding and seeing the photos of her wedding makes me even more geram that I couldn't make it. The two of you are an amazing couple (walaupun baru jumpa dua kali) and I pray for eternal happiness and absolute bliss for the two of you. Bak kata orang Melayu, "Semoga berkekalan ke akhir hayat.." ♥

Other than of course wishing Aim and her hubby the best in life, I nak borak skit pasal her make up artist - Raja Feena; who I think did an excellent job! Aim looked extremely ravishing on her big day. She is everything that I've always been talking about in a make up artist sebab she made Aim "look beautiful, but still like herself". Takde la macam some make up artist yang taruk make up bertepek sampai kawan² dan saudara-mara tengok pun dah tak cam. Raja Feena punya fees pun sangat² reasonable so I would higly recommend her to all the brides-to-be out there! Oh and Aim dearie.. I love this shot of you in the car. The colours are so, so very beautiful and you look so gorgeously happy.

Cakap pasal beautiful photos plak brings me to the next topic: Photography. I simply loved ALL of the photos that were taken by Aim's official photographer Bakri Hafiz Hisham or better known as 'Bak'. I love the shots, the angles, the moments and the editing. Pendek kata, semuanya pasal si Bak ni pun aku suka. Sampaikan tahap semalam dah tanya kat Aim brape gaknya harga Bak kalau kita nak buat simple outdoor shoot just for fun hehe.. And once again, I perlu highlight bahawa harga Bak sangat² affordable berbanding dengan the quality of the photos that he takes. Kat atas ni is one of my favourite outdoor shots from Aim & Suffian's wedding bersama pengapit² mereka!

And all this talk about Aim's wedding brings me to the next, next topic: Chenta Weddings. Sambil berborak² dengan Aim online one day the subject came up that she was looking for cutsie little "Thank You" tags yang dia nak 'attach'kan to one of her VIP punya doorgifts. Dia tanya mana bleh dapat so I cakap ngan dia kalau dia nak, Chenta Weddings can do it for her. So after asking her about their colour schemes and the kind of concept that they had in mind, we came up with a cutesie little indie "Thank You" tag design (ye la, mestilah indie cos mereka kan Encik & Puan Rocker hehe..). And alhamdulillah, they loved it. Next plak she needed "Labels" for the CD's yang diorang nak bagi kat kawan² yang datang for their wedding as doorgifts. And alhamdulillah sekali lagi, they loved those too! Above & below are some pictures of the "Thank You" tags and "CD Labels" yang telah di'customize'kan khas untuk Aim & Suffian before I delivered them to the happy couple. Lambat post sebab tak nak la spoil the surprise before her big day.. ;)


Kalau ada sesiapa berminat to do stuff like wedding invitations, thank you tags, doorgifts and such; please drop me an email ya..

Baju Sanding Idamanku

It's been almost 2weeks since my last entry. Maaf ye. Aku tak sengaja biarkan blog ni bersarang tapi lately ni nak pandang blog pun takde mood apa tah lagi nak buat entry yang baru. Kawan² virtual dalam dunia blogging ni pun mesti perasan yang aku dah lama tak comment kat blog sapa². Sekali lagi, maaf ye. Tapi jangan risau pasal aku ye? Ni bukan masalah keluarga ataupun rumahtangga. Ni masalah professional. Apa lagi? Kerja lah. Tapi walaupun tengah takde mood ni, aku sedar bahawa dalam masa 4minggu aku dah selamat dijadikan isteri orang selama 6bulan. So, sebelum cerita wedding aku ni betul² basi, baik aku setelkan belen lagi 3 entri (tolak entri ni tinggal lagi 2 entri je..) yang ada.

Aku ni tipu je. Sebenarnya aku tak pernah ada pun Baju Sanding idaman. Rasanya kalau ada pun it was a wedding gown. Plan asal untuk hari sanding: 3 persalinan baju. Apa?! 3?! Ye. Tiga. Ingatkan nak pakai baju Jawa; baju Punjabi dan juga baju omputih. Ye la, bapa Jawa, suami Punjabi, mak omputih. Kenalah hormat semua bangsa yang ada kan? Tapi bila pikir² balik, masa yang ada 4jam sahaja. Bila plak la nak cari masa salin baju 3 kali kan? So scrap baju omputih. Sorry mummy. Padahal mummy and me dah jumpa the perfect wedding gown (I knew it was the perfect one because after trying on 100 different dresses mummy started to cry when she saw me in that dress). So anyways, this entry is about my baju Jawa.

Ramai readers duk comment and duk email aku tanya berapa harge baju Nikah aku dan aku selalu terpaksa jawab that aku dapat murah sebab aku amik skali ngan baju sanding. So, inilah dia kebaya moden Jawa yang aku amik dari Lagenda. Kisahnya macam ni..

Asalnya pergi Lagenda dengan niat nak buat baju Nikah je. Cos sebenarnya masa tu dah beli kain Thai Silk warna hijau untuk baju sanding tapi tak decide 100% kat design dia lagi. Oh, and time tu lace untuk top dia pun tak beli lagi. So anways, masa tengah tunggu Oscar kat Lagenda (dia memang suka hilang² tapi he's worth waiting for; trust me!) aku pergi la belek-belek baju kat boutique Lagenda tu. Terus terang cakap, aku ni sebenarnya mati hidup balik tak pernah terfikir nak pakai baju kaler pink. Sebab aku langsung tak suka pink. Warna kegemaran? Hitam. Tak caya, tengok la gambo² kat Fessbuk aku, 99% aku pakai baju hitam. Tapi somehow, dalam puluh² baju yang ada kat Lagenda tu, kebaya moden berwarna pink ni menarik perhatian aku. So when Oscar came back, aku pun cakap ngan dia aku nak try baju ni. Ya Allah, bila aku dah pakai pula aku rasa macam; "Oh my God!! This is the dress!!". Cepat² aku suruh Oscar amikkan skali baju tuk pengantin lelaki. Bakal suami nampak samping dia je dia pandang aku, "Pink??!! You've got to be kidding me right?!". Aku dah start rasa nervous, "Erk.. Nevermind la sayang. Try it first la. Lagipun it's a very nice shade of pink. It's not the ugly striking pink that we usually see.". Nasib baik Winder sayang aku cos dia pun masuklah changing room tuk try baju pengantin lelaki tu. Tapi bila dia kluar and pandang cermin dia macam, "Wah.. This is not too bad man. Eh, Oscar, ada keris tak?". Ha! Itulah dia kan kaum Adam! Baju tak penting, yang penting ada keris! Ahahahaa..

So there we were, both of us dressed up as bride & groom checking ourselves out in the mirror. I whispered to him, "Sayang.. I want this dress". "You should get it. You look beautiful.", he replied. Ewww.. This is starting to sound like a romance novel. Anyways, so we discussed it and decided that it would really make more sense to rent the dress rather than to tailor my own. Why? Senang aje. Kalau aku pi tailor baju macam ni, harga dia minimum dalam RM4,000; untuk tailoring sahaja; without kain! So kalau campur skali ngan duit kain semua confirm dalam RM5,000 lebih la kan?? Untuk pengetahuan korang semua, wedding kami berdua ni hampir seratus peratus kami finance sendiri sebab kita tak nak menyusahkan keluarga. Tapi alhamdulillah my abah belanja catering so kita dapat la save sikit kat situ. So of course aku lagi rela habiskan duit kat honeymoon, ataupun tuk rumah kita daripada membazir kat baju berharga RM5,000 lebih yang aku probably takkan pakai lagi sampai aku mati. Tapi berbalik kepada tajuk entri ni, macam aku cakap tadi aku memang takde baju sanding idaman. But if I had to choose on

Quality? Jangan tanya. Semua baju² kat Butik Lagenda dijahit dengan high quality fabrics. Jahitan? Pun jangan tanya. Sewing dia perfect so the dress will hug your body nicely. Beading? Lagilah toksah tanya. Seperti dikatan dalam entri baju Nikah aku, beading Butik Lagenda dijahit oleh pakar so expect nothing less than perfection!
