* Sheemi & Hafidz*

the wedding preparation

this is a bit terbalik. normally people post the entry on the preparation first, then only the wedding. but what the heck? since when am i normal? hahaha…

a lot of people asked, how did i prepare for my dream wedding? well, a lot of research took place… a lot of thought was put into it, internet research in the office (lol!), sleepless nights of deciding the right colour combination (yes..that’s me…indecisive!)

and some of the contents:

:: For akad nikah ::

:: For Sheemi's reception ::

:: For Hafidz's reception ::





below: Sheemi's actual event file - WIP, budget, suppliers details, etc

my very good friend Miha asked, did anyone get hurt in the process? so i said no.. surprisingly, there were no mother-daughter quarrels that ended up in tears… i’m so proud of us :)

Mama was (and still is!) my biggest inspiration, the one who supported and listened to my ideas. If anything, she was very excited about the whole Cinderella, enchanted fairytale-ish theme that I came up with. Plus i needed her blessing and approval for every step in the process, she has been blessed with exquisite fashion sense and high taste (like mother, like daughter la kannnnnn..heeheee)

My baju for engagement, akad nikah and wedding reception (plus the groom’s side) had Mama’s touch to them. She helped source for the fabric and the designer and helped ME design as well. Here’s a fact: My gown for the reception was partly designed and tailored by Nadeane Salleh, upcoming fashion designer who is the daughter of Myrina Yew Abdullah @ Aunty Ling, who designed Mama’s gowns and glam show outfits back in the day. How cool is that! :)

Mama’s the peacemaker, negotiator… especially if Abah gets on my nerves (haha sorry Abah!)

and Abah… who always wants the best for his children and will never disappoint them… walaupun his eyes almost popped out every time Mama showed him this quotation or that receipt… he never faltered. all for the sake his daughter’s happiness…

plus Abah & Mama were very happy and satisfied with the whole show…

and Mr. Tuichi – the fiancé who was with me every step of the way during the pre-wedding preparation… who shared the excitement and enthusiasm… who contributed exquisite ideas… whose passion about the whole wedding prep sometimes mengalahkan my girlfriends…heheheee… ye la..dia yang semangat gila bila gi wedding orang.. amik gambar sana sini.. did his research online and bought tons of bridal magazines..

thank you yayang.. where can cari lelaki lain macam ni… lucky me!!!

below: the wedding card for my reception - design and copywriting by us :)

i’ve got part II coming up later.. stay tuned!
