tersexy dan terseksa

When we first started on this journey, I was still trying to decide whether I should customize and tailor my wedding dinner dress or just select one off Versari Ade's rack.

Now that we're 7 months and 21 days away from the wedding (wedding countdown app yang tolong calculatekan yo hahaha), I've pretty much decided to throw in the towel and just choose something off Versari Ade's rack. Truth be told, I haven't really seen any wedding dress from Versari Ade that I really like - their songket pieces are all so ~ gorgeous ~ tapi wedding dresses macam takde yang catch my eye. But my smart mamat suggested a pretty fab idea (parents-approved too!) to get around this if I end up not liking any piece off their rack so now I just tak sabar waiting for the time for us to go for our first fitting so we can finalize on this!

Since I have some time on my hands, I thought I'd share some wedding dresses that I kapok-ed off Pinterest because I love them sampai boleh gila!!! I can wear none of them for my wedding, of course, jangan nak mabok and jangan nak mimpi please (I've mentioned why here before and an entry on some of my other hanya-tinggal-mimpi wedding dresses here) - but they're too pretty not to share lahhhhhhhhhh.

 I very like lacey lacey shoulders and lacey lacey bareback and big bows on dresses, you know!

But I will kena tempeleng or syarahan or most likely both if I wear these kind of sexy seksa baju for my wedding, you know? I will also make our makciks pakciks tanggung dosa when they see me in these kind of sexy seksa baju and mengata me and our families, you know? Lulz. And what makes me think I pakai like that will nampak cantik ni?!?! Babat sekeping dah 10 kilo, ada hati nak pakai sexy seksa. Hur hur.

Oh well, not like baju omputeh je yang lawa lawa belaka anyway kan? Have you seen what Malaysian brides wear for their weddings?!?!?! Some so anggun, so ayu, so manis and still so tertib! Must really set aside time to blog about them gorgeous things soon.

And oh, this was what my mat said, after I jokingly asked whether I can wear one of the dresses above for our wedding - "Boleh lah kalau you betul nak pakai, tapi lepas majlis habis je confirm my mum tarik I tepi suruh I kahwin lagi satu." Mak ai, melampau lah weh.

VERA WANG. $1100. MUST BUY FOR WEDDING.

Remember the #natazmin wedding that I blogged about last month?

Great news for those who loved the bride's super gorgeous bridal gown!

I met Nat for lunch a day before my engagement and had a really wonderful time chatting and sharing stories about weddings and wedding vendors in general. I was particularly excited when we talked about her bridal gown, because Nat mentioned that she wants to sell off her bridal gown!

(For practical reasons, of course - bila lagi dia nak pakai ini bridal gown kan??? Takkan dia nak wear the bridal gown out for dinner with friends or worse, to another majlis kahwin or what kan! Hahahahaha pengantin perempuan mengamuk, menggila dan membuas seh nanti.)

Nat very generously offered to sell it off to me if I really love her wedding gown - which I do! I really do! - but this won't work for me because:

(1) I don't want to kena sembelih by my conservative parents

(2) I don't want to kena sembelih by my conservative future parents-in-law

(3) even if I don't mind kena sembelih by dua dua pihak, I don't think I can lose enough weight to fit a US size 4... which is UK size 8? Oh my, I've don't think I've ever been UK size 8 at any point of my life! Even if I do achieve my goal of losing weight and I go back to my original weight, I was always on the bigger side of UK size 10.

Well, my loss is your gain, so..... GORGEOUS VERA WANG BRIDAL GOWN FOR SALE, GUYS!!!!!

YES. $1100. NOT KIDDING.

Vera Wang bridal gown at S$1100 only leh!!! Mana mau dapat! Kalau try cari in Singapore, sure won't dapat because kat sini Vera Wang bridal gowns usually cost S$12,000 and go way up up up! Nat tried on a gown that was very similar in design to the one she wore for her wedding at The Link in Palais Renaissance, and it was a whooping S$14,900 ok.

Fourteen thousand nine hundred Singapore dollars, bro.

Tinggal tambah a few ribu more dah boleh dapat complete wedding package sebiji from Decorama Wedding Services or Anggun Wedding Services, bro.

Even if you want to get a designer/bridal house to tailor a similar bridal gown for you, the material required to replicate the delicateness is expensive and with tailoring costs factored in, altogether might cost you, I don't know, $3000++, $5000++? Help me out here, designer friends. 

So to all interested buyers! You can contact Natasha directly at taschaa[at]gmail[dot]com ok!

P.S. Yes, her official wedding photographer is the well-known Malaysian photographer from across the causeway, Kid Chan from Kid Chan Studio!

P.P.S. Nat shared with me about her wedding planner Kak Roslinah from Mahligai Asmara who did a fantastic job at handling her wedding - I was very surprised to hear her rates because it was much cheaper than I expected! So kalau you're pressed for time and/or prefer to leave your wedding planning to a professional, you can call Kak Roslinah at 93865465 or look see look see through Mahligai Asmara's Facebook first ok. Semua settle ditanggung beres, babe.
