Hantaran Trays Design

I'm in the mood for hantaran trays lately because I need to complete a set of it as my wedding present for my brother. The happy couple will be married end of this month. Last night I managed to complete all 5 trays (with my husband as my little helper hehe). This is actually my 3rd time of doing hantaran trays - 1st was for my E-Day, 2nd was for my brother's E-Day. I'm getting better at it, I think. These are completed in an hour only haha. If there are any brides out there looking for gubahan hantaran trays service, I'm willing to do it at a very reasonable price! Just contact me :)

All the raw materials for the hantaran trays are bought at Nilai 3 last weekend, total cost around RM170 (exclude silver trays cost). I do not use fresh flowers here as I don't want to risk the rush on the night of the big day itself. As kakak pengantin, I think there will be lots of other things that I need to assist at the last minute. Well, just in case.

Having said that, that's why I did not do my fresh flowers wedding hantaran trays myself. Ikutkan hati mau, but then takkan bride herself nak bersengkang mata siapkan hantaran sendiri di malam hari hihi. So for my wedding last June, I ordered my fresh flowers hantaran trays from Merisik Gallery, both for me and the groom. It costs me RM70 per tray, 5+7 = 12 trays x RM70 = RM840. Haishhh, harga tu mmg rasa nak buat sendiri kannn! But thankfully, Merisik Gallery delivered beautiful trays design as I expected them to be, so no headache there, recommended. Complaints I have on them are that the hand bouquet that I ordered, huhh the "fresh" flowers already lebammm, burokk, ended up x pakai langsung, membazir RM100! And their service was not friendly like other vendors - known problem before I approach them anyway (my husband and a friend who used their service felt the same way too). Thank god my MUA team made one hand bouquet for me, very fresh and pretty, so I used that one instead.

Bride #2 1st Anniversary Plan

Hello March.
Believe it or not, it's 9 months already, that's almost a year since the wedding. Weee!

Happy news that Bride #3 is a Mom now :D congrats dear! and Bride #1 will be one really really really soon!

As for Bride #2 (Me), she has to overcome her fear of losing freedom first as how she overcomes the fear of being committed to just one man haha. To me personally, the idea of raising another human being is tough. To be a great mom, I have to admit I question myself a lot..hmm promise I'll be ready one day :)!

 

Let's move on to a more interesting topic. The 1st anniversary. Well, I'm super excited over this bacause me and my man have decided to go for weekend getaway celebration in June. Flights and resort are confirmed and fully paid, I just need to patiently wait for another 3 months tho' -___- . Next is to plan what we can do together to make the day memorable. Maybe a romantic dinner over clear ocean waters? couple spa treatments? Ahhhh~

How do/will you celebrate your first anniversary? Share with me the stories and tips.

Live, love, cherish, Bride #2.

Happy 2013! (Dresses for SALE)

Dear readers, on behalf of The Junetastic Brides, I would like to wish y'all Happy New Year 2013!

 

Especially for those bride-to-be-sss of 2013 out there, the passing days are going to get more and more meaningful. On a budget? It can be tough too, budget wise, you will get more and more demanding about what you get for your money. You should be, which is why I've got little offers on my wedding dresses. I want to sell them out because I don't know when and where I would wear them again. You can save big bucks, price ranging from RM1200-RM1500 for each (Trust me, that's more than 50% off its original price). The dresses are all in good condition as they're worn once or twice only. Size is a bit of problem hmm because all are customized to my body - so buyers with petite little body are my perfect target market hehe.

Just to make it clear, the dresses are perfect for these vital stats:
Bust: 30"-34"
Waist: 23"-26"
Hip: 32"-36"
Height: 148cm-162cm
But I don't mind if you really really want to try the dress on first just to make sure you look nice wearing it.
 

Here are the pics for the 3 dresses. Leave a comment here or email junetastic.brides if you are interested k :)

Last but not least, have fun preparing for your big day, and have a great, chic year ahead!

Lots of love, #Bride 2.

Chasing Dreams

Hi dearies... Fuhh.. It's already November!

So, by now maybe no one reads this blog anymore eh?

Bride #1 and Bride #3 are currently experiencing miracles :)

while I'll be experiencing autumn for the next 2 weeks!

Wish us the best.

 

 

On the other hand, I have received the wedding dvds from my OV.. the output is great! However, there were ding-dong ding-dong on the deliveries for quite a while (hate those moments). As a customer who has fully paid for it, of course it should not be that way. Well, seb baek sume setel at the end.

 

I'll keep you posted on these.

In the mood for Parisian autumn romance, Bride #2.



Wedding OP & Albums

Hellowww people, this is a short and sweet update of our wedding OP and the albums. The chosen OP is Elinazz Photography. I found the contacts on the Internet by just googling around hehe. The 1st time we booked Elinazz was for our E-Day, and since hubby + me were satisfied with the service and outcome, we straight away booked Elinazz again for all our wedding events.

 

With our OP

 

The owner is Abg Nazim, always early, has a very calm attitude, so it helps for the easily-annoyed person like me hehe, dia cool aje all the time, best2. Plus, he makes great suggestions and softly remind me what I need to do next and next. For example, I'm the one yg selalu sgt lupe hand bouquet (few times tertinggal dlm bilik la, kat pelamin la), pegang tgn husband and most importantly SMILE to the camera! Oh, thank God.

 

The albums are nice too, coffee table book type. Heavy glass album cover and the pages are thick hard photo paper, more like board paper kut. Sleek and clean. Kalau air tumpah atas mane2 page pon bole lap, tak rosak. Pics softcopy are provided for each event in DVD. All customized.

Overall, definitely recommended.

Happy weekend all! , Bride #2

To Feel A Little Bit More Beautiful

Now that I'm in KL, I got the chance to explore more different brands.

Right now I'm exploring MAC's Skincare collection - the Lightful New Collection for Spring 2012.

I bought these 2 days ago:

Nice bright packaging... Lightful also smells AMAZING! I think I will stop using Dermalogica huhuhu. I also bought MAC Prep + Prime, MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Shanghai Spice and MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubborn Brown.

Oh Happy Hari Raya everyone! Still enjoying your raya? I'm back to office already...

Album kahwin dah siappp... Later I can share more, hopefully :), Bride #2

New Life in KL

Hi dearies, I'm still coping up with new life. Change : like a 360-degree turn. Wuhuhhh.

Anyway, married + KL life is interesting.

Berbuka at in-laws' house (almost everyday huhu)

Traffic jam sucks!

Our little love nest is still in progress. The main colours are black, white and red.

I hope it's not too late to wish everyone Selamat Berpuasa :)
Love, Bride #2

Another Happiness Project

Last night my wedding dress(es) designer, Khalik,  PM-ed me on fb bertanya khabar and he asked how's the wedding, the dress etc. Such a great after-sales service you see :) ... Gaspppp! I realized that I owe him one nice review. Oh dear, I've kind of neglected blogging for a while, huuuu sorry! I'm now busy packing things for my permanent move to KL next week. My other acceptable reason (I think) is that I want to write reviews with good pics in hand, in which I still don't have much right now.

Dress No. 1

Dress No. 2

For the past 1 month gile cari rumah, sana sini househunting, then after setel dpt rumah, gile home deco pulak. I'm browsing IKEA, Home24, Apartment Therapy, Decor Diva etc. googling for ideas and inspiration like crazy! I have listed some of the stuff I wanted. Well, if I told you everything in my head, I would be deemed as a madwoman haha. My style for home deco is contemporary, fun, playful, sometimes colorful, and relatively practical.

Welcome

Can't wait to put things together in our little love nest.

Moving to the big city, Bride #2.

Life & Change

Wedding is crazy, fun, fast and exhausting experience. After 3 hectic weeks, this weekend I got my alone time in Kuantan. I've been cleaning up the bujang house all day, did 2 rounds of laundry, folding up clothes yg dah berbukit x lipat.

I also completed our honeymoon scrapbook album :) using the wedding gift by Aina + friends. I hope this album captures the details of our special trip and keep that elated feeling in our heart.

And soon I need to plan on packing my stuff to move to Kuala Lumpur in August. Life's big decisions are often made in an instant, like this one:

Yahhh, I resign from my job, for this I just follow my "go for it" inner gut feeling. I got instant hutang as I breach the 9-year contract with the company $$$ ppffftt (bcoz of my PETRONAS education scholarship).

InsyaAllah, ade rezeki lain demi niat nak jalankan tanggungjawab isteri utk suami. But no baby plan at the mo', that will have to wait dulu ye huhu.

I struggle, but I'll survive :), Bride #2

Mimpi Indah (Sweet Dreams) at Bermimpi Bali Villas

We had a very wonderful honeymoon at Bermimpi Bali Villas. Husband and I stayed at Bermimpi Manis for 4 days from 26th - 29th June. When we first arrived, Ari greeted us cheerfully and checked us in while telling us about the villa amenities and nearby attractions. We were excited to explore the villa immediately, we took pictures at almost every corner :p. Ari informed us that Hayley gave us a complimentary Balinese couple massage that can be arranged during our stay, such a pleasant surprise! Thank you so much :D! (We enjoyed the massage session on our 3rd day, by the pool)

  



Villa is nicely and richly decorated throughout. Manis is a very comfortable villa with homely atmosphere. I love the delightful smells of Frangipani scented soap, body butter and shampoo in the bathroom. I took them home so that I can be "transported back to Bali", to recall the happy memories. I can still remember the smell of it even when I'm writing this. The open shower concept is awesome! I can see the stars in the sky during my evening showers.



There are lots of shops, bars and restaurants along the "Eat Street" just within walking distance. We even futher walked to the beach, Potato Head and Kudeta on same evening! That's quite a distance actually, but we did. We had dinner at Kudeta (expensive but worth a try) on the 1st night as suggested by Ari. Other restaurants that we've tried in Bali - The Kitchen Club, The Junction, I Made Joni (Ubud), Koko Bar & Restaurant (Kuta). Some of the days, we prepared breakfast and dinner in the villa as the kitchen is well equipped with a lot cooking stuff - the kitchen is complete like a real home! We bought groceries at a mart nearby. In the afternoon, when the sun is out, just jump in the pool to cool yourself..ahh it's a great feeling, hubby loves that.

We were straight away happy with our choice of accomodation for our honeymoon. 4 days was not enough, we should have stayed a week or longer. Everything was faultless and we highly recommend this villa. You will not be disappointed. Thank you very much Hayley, Ari and the Bermimpi team. We'll be back, definitely!

Wedding Wishes, Wedding Gifts..and Final Honeymoon Preps

Thank you, everyone, for your well wishes, prayers, kind words and the generous & thoughtful wedding gifts + ang pows. Got a chance to snap some pictures of them:

After his side reception this Sunday, oh Bali here we come! We need to exchange large amount of MYR into USD and IDR. Heard that Midvalley Megamall LG Floor Centre Court has best place to exchange currency. And last prep for the honeymoon, yesterday I called Madaline Nails & Waxing Salon by Glitters located at The Gardens for waxing appointment. Will drag my man along next Monday, he seems interested when I mentioned it to him... maybe he'll try it too?
