My Reception Dress & the story behind it..

okay.. ni dia baju bersanding yang membuatkan i sampai tak tidur malam tu..

dengan bantuan si suami setelah ternampak isterinya terbaring/terguling mengambil gambar, maka terhasillah gambar yg lebih terang & jelas dibawah. thanks hubby!

Reception dress

bear in mind, baju ni dah siap... dan semua gambar baju ini baru saja di snap-.-" . So maafkan jela kalau ternampak komot/kotor di sana sini..belum hantar dry clean lagi T_T

ok, masa 1st fitting, lidah jadi kelu once i tengok baju tu.. kelu bukan sebab terpesona tapi sebab terkejut! lagi seminggu nak kahwin so i expect baju tu dah siap 90% la.. tapi tak! tak serupa langsung dengan design yang i nak...

i choose to have kebaya indon cut with 1 piece dress inside. i've asked for chiffon lining for the baju sebab i taknak nampak kulit i yg cokelat dan tak putih ni..  tapi apa yang ku tengok...

• baju tak serupa kebaya indon langsung.. more to kebaya nyonya. xsuka! kelebihan kbaya indon pada saya sebab ia boleh menutup keseluruhan punggung anda yang tak berapa sempurna tu. :P
• baju jarang gila.. lining for the lace.. dia lupa!  membuat kan aku nampak kurus (betul macam skeleton..isk)
• baju longgar & takde beadings langsung.. ni boleh di maafkan kot sebab baru 1st fitting..

just imagine me yang kurus dan yang tak berapa putih ni memakai baju kebaya yang sangat jarang.end up... tak cantik langsung.

so, he have 3 day left to fix all these..

i balik umah tak senang duduk, hati benak dan menangis tak usah ceritala.. the next day i called him and i betul2 luahkan apa yang i tak puas hati dan minta dia betulkan semua. (masa fitting susah nak luahkan betul2 ketidakpuasan hati ni, takowt ternangis depan dia ..haha!)

i came the next 2 day for final fitting... and alhamdullillah baju menepati apa yang i nak.. hanya tinggal nak tambah beadings je. 

to all b2bs, ask yr tailor/ designer to have the 1st fitting at least 1 month before the wedding.. so at least ada byk masa untuk alteration dan yang paling penting seri muka u tak hilang disebabkan muka berkerut memikir baju taksiap dan majlis lagi seminggu? Ya Allah..nightmare tahu?..

for my case . i dah minta utk siapkan sebulan sebelum. apa dia jawab?  "buat cepat2 nanti tak cantik, u nak ke baju kawin u tak cantik?"... huh.. aku redho...


p/s: designer ni memang jenis buat baju last minute.. so, sesiapa yg kuat hati, bolehla hire dia... kerja2 beadings dia memang meletop... tak percaya? lawat la butik dia =)

My fitting experience...& The Dress

okay, since SCR dah start blogs 'bout her 1st fitting experience, hati ni rasa terpanggil-panggil nak cerita my experience pulak. yes.. its my 1st experience too.. bezanya u blom kawin, i dah sebulan kawin n still malas tahap gaban nak update my wedding.. =P

i salute u k sbb tenang menghadapi situasi 1st fitting tu.. not like me, MENGGELABAH tak tentu pasal..

dont blame me. ;P.. tak pernah seumur hidup aku baju nak kena fitting2 bagai nih..1st fitting la, 2nd fitting la... apa2 je lah...tempah baju pon jarang.. *saya suka readymade*

my 1st fitting.. i can call its a nightmare experience. i dont mean to exaggerate here tapi sampai kau tak boleh tidur malam, menangis n kacau tunang kau pukul 3-4 pagi macam dunia nak kiamat je gayanye *hello..tak boleh call nanti2 ke? dia pon nak keje*

TAK BOLEH, i just cant.. dada rasa benak sangat fikir pasal wedding dress tu...sampai satu tahap i dah nekad, i akan sewa baju lain kalau dress tu still hampeh *giler*.. mmg btl2 nightmare!  to fiance aka my baby hubby now =), sorry kacau awak pagi-pagi buta. kalu awak tak jawab, memang saya call non-stop sampai awk angkat hari tu! heheee..

before i proceed to the *nightmare*story, i like to reveal who's the vendor a.k.a designer for my dress, reception & nikah.

its Gezal Mihat.

Eventho my 1st fitting macam hell but he manage to make me feel relieve and i start to fall IN LOVE~~ with the dress right after i dress up myself on the final fitting. fuhhhh...lega sangat2...I love both dress. =)

THE WHITE DRESS finally worn by me on our special day. (thank God i tak payah sewa baju lain)

Thanks him too for making my dream wedding dress come true.... (dream la sgt ...haha)

berbalik kepada kisah fitting itu, i pergi butik dgn harapan baju siap 90%. Lagi seminggu kot, of coz expectation tinggi.. i 1st wore baju nikah. i choose to have an empire cut dress along with selendang.  

baju okay, saya suka...macam yang dibayangkan.. just to add more beads on the waist and neckline..

and the results....

Baju Nikah

My nightmare begin when i looked at my reception dress...
to be continued :P...
next entry k!...

p/s: baju diatas sampai sekarang belum dry clean lagi T_T. both pic berjaya di snap oleh saya pagi tadi @9.++ am

updated! part 2

i'll continue my review on the bridal..

*Butik Lynda Rahim
okay... lepas je kluar dr Butik Bina Kasih, terus teringat kat Butik Lynda Rahim. Ni semua
gara-gara majalah pengantin bwh ni..grrrr..

** I bet all b2bs pn ada simpan keluaran Feb 2010..ni.. Sumpah cantik baju ni.. lagi2 si Linda Langsing yg pakai ni.. hehe

complete view on the dress... T_T..  xbley thn..

blogwalking helps me alot..i know the renting price would be 4.5k P/L *gulp*..the price include veil and shoes also with accessories..
tapi di sebabkan semangat bridezilla yg meluap-luap nak tgk baju ni dpn mata, i tarik tgn mak masuk..
tak buat appointmt pun okay!! but the BA was very kind enough to entertain us..

okay, dah puas hati tgk kn..so, sila keluar.. :'(
kena berfikir secara waras awin! dgn harga sebegitu, tak berbaloi rasanya.. baju xdpt plus duit hanguss..
tapi kepada sesiapa yang mampu, silakan... klu la aku mampu, mmg wajib aku amik.. =)

***

time ni mmg mak dh siap beli lace, so no wonder la mak 'biasa-biasa' aje kat Butik Lynda tuh.. tp sempat jugak dia belek2 design yg ada, mana tau blh buat contoh baju kawin anak dia... =)

psl lace , mcm biasa, pilihan mak xpernah silap.. the lace was superb.. I LIKE it very much.. mmg my taste...

to b2bs out there, just put believe in your mom... she knows what suits u better...

tapi klu pilihan nya itu melangkaui budget kamu, just pay what u hav and let her pay the rest.. :p

believe me..they wont mind 

***

next, we went to..

*Syomir Izwa
Good testimoni from other bloggers makes me wanna see him...furthermor i mmg nak wedding dress yg nmpak English skit... n he know how to design it.. (base on prev brides here..)
paling best he can work out from your budget.. i directly tell him my bugdet and suprisingly he ok with it! Happy.. =)
Of coz kain beli sendiri utk harga sebegitu...

tips: I tanya range Syomir from some friends yg pernah buat baju dgn dia last year... then i play from there..

So, i tell him the design I want and he sketch them perfectly!...
Dalam hati.." I'll take him..."

dah lega.. happy...

tapi......

tak jadi nak happy lebih2...

 mak pulak nak survey lg..sbbnye

mak kata ..."baju yg dia gantung kat butik macam biasa je"

huh.. boleh pulak

untuk puaskan hati mak, aku tunjuk jugakla gambar baju-baju Syomir yg aku simpan dlm laptop nih..

baru aku tau, org2 tua mcm mak aku kena tgk contoh dpn mata...

dia tak mainla gmbar2 dr internet nih, tak feel kot...

tapi bl ingt balik collection yg syomir gantung tu mmg nmpak biasa...(not sure if its evening or wedding dress)

tapi aku tau, kebanyakan wedding dress dia yg daboom itu mestila pengantin dah bawa balikkn,takkanla dia simpan kot...  

satu lg, syomir akan pindah ke butik baru.. larger than the current one.. (tak igt lak dia kata kt mana)

so, syomir.. if u happen to read this, bolela display byk2 baju u yg meletop tu kat butik baru.. baru la makcik2 macam mak i tu teruja.. hehee

nampaknye...bkn rezki aku nak amik dia

*My official's
recomended by my aunty.. actly makcik i ni ada butik kt wangsa maju, near to this designer butik and mereka ni mmg berkawan...n boleh dpt special pricela ni =) so she ask my mum to come over his place..

masyallah.., baju dia mmg cantik2 belaka...most of his collection dr material chiffon..beadings pn sgtla detail ...  baru aku nampak muka mak excitedd...
lagi2 bila aku try baju kat sana... lagi bertambah bersinar muka dia...

aku tahu mak suka... =) dan yg penting aku pun suka....

terus aje byr deposit... baju nikah + baju reception .... xhengat....
nak ikutkan budget, aku mampu baju reception je.. disebabkan mak beria, ikutkan jela..
but stick to my prinsip la.. just follow my budget, n let her pay the rest,,, hehee..blh kan mak?

design baju nikah mgkin lebih kurang begini...

taken from here

baju reception kemudian la ye...

sampai sini jela dulu eh.... waarghh penat menaip..

updated! part 1

wedding blogs is very addictive....sometime it take hours dpn lappy, penat mata tau!

been a blohhopper since i wrote my last entry sampai blog sendiri pun tak ber update..

sronok baca blog kowang espc my blogger list tepi tuh ;)... and not to mention these few famous bloggers--> anil,diah,WLT,Sabby, Amy, Q&A, spread my happines, zain and lots more.. kamu semua nilah yg membuat kan aku teringin ada blog sendiri apart from you, en tunang =)

"ok ok i'm typing here.." good...

thanks to Aylee for the templates ...
U all bolehla singgah, byk tips..

2) Wedding Dress..
planning to rent at 1st but tempah juga akhirnya, semuanya gara-gara mak aku yg kusayang ..
here goes the story..the 1st bridal we went is..

* Bina Kaseh Butik (near Galaxy Ampang)
i pergi 2 kali..baju-baju mmg cantik dan paling penting affordable, u will get RM 700-900 L/P for renting..okla tu kan..from all the bajus i only admire this white dress... cutting cantik sgt... mak i pn suka.. :)

sorry for the blurr image... & muka b2b ni haruslah dipotong ye.. ;p

(i saje x button sbb leceh nak buka)

Heart the highneck style & of ccoz the button too..

menepati citarasa i, its not-a-see-thru type of kain

but sad to say  baju ni nampak lama sbb certain part of baju kotor espc part button, mcm nak putus je tali butang tu.. and lg sedey kain nye koyak.. mgkin dah ramai sgt pakai kot...

butik asst. ckp blum dry clean lg..abis tu, yg koyak and tali butang yang macam hidup segan mati tak mahu tu cmne kakak oii...then she ask to come next time coz she want to show me a brand new dress and its white!

the 2nd time i go , the one that she recomended just not-my-type.. i taknak nampak kulit2 ni kak..
i try to find baju yang i admire during my 1st visit.. the baju was not there... somebody rent it.. hmm.. tailor dh alter mana2 yg spoilt kot.. but i cant bear when thinking the button yg hidup segan tu...

i think i need more survey...

next.. i went to :
(which i will review later)

* Lynda Rahim ( at this point, mak actually dah senyap2 beli lace utk tempah.. alahai mak aku)
* Medan  Mara
* Syomir Izwa
* Butik somewhere in Wangsa Maju (which will be my official dressmaker for my wedding dress)
