50 shades of pink

Looks like I’ve found the colour scheme that I want for our wedding decor!

My mat and Nani dah happily approved the scheme and I’m a happy camper! :-D

I’d love to care and share tapi I think we should keep the more-or-less confirmed items to ourselves because macam tak shiok lah kan for our guests who read this space kalau dorang dah tau the concept/colour scheme way in advance!

Plus, it will still depend on what our decorators have to say (whether they can pull it off + mana tau they might have certain constraints that we do not know of + takut tak kena dengan colour of wedding venue – I am especially concerned with this!) so I’ll keep what we’ve decided on as #1 choice first, but will continue to source for more ideas as back-up.

Plus plus plus, some trends, some ideas, some things might change and evolve in the course of 15 months so we shall keep it under wraps for now.

And yes yes, I know, some other people lagi five, six months dah nak hold the majlis tapi masih belum decide what colour scheme and all abeh aku kat sini sebok dah choose ape colour scheme aku nak for aku punya wedding. What to do, akak ni memang jenis suka blaze down the expressway to the highway.

In the course of trying to find the colour scheme that I like and getting inspired by moodboards after moodboards after moodboards, I’ve noticed that the main colour that usually gets included in the ones that I like is… wait for it… wait for it… PINK.

Which is really weird lah! Because, well, I’m okay with pink, and I quite like it, but it’s not exactly high up on my favourite colours list. But since it kept appearing in the moodboards that I liked, I decided ok let’s try and go with it.

Tanpa ku sangka dan tanpa ku duga, aku berjiwa Barbie rupanya.

See how pretty shades of pink (and its cousin, purple) can be!

If I do go with pinks and purples for my wedding decor, I’ll only like it if the pinks and purples are in miniscule amounts, though, so must jaga jaga the amount. Too much pink might make it too sickeningly sweet, don’t you think???

I once went to a wedding exhibition and a vendor did top-to-toe wedding decor setup in varying shades of pink and seriously my mata lagi sikit nak lompat out of its sockets and terjun diri. Tooooo much pink for my liking! And tooooo bright! Cannot cannot cannot. If that was my wedding decor, my mata sure koyak rabak seh. How to duduk atas pelamin like that kalau pengantin mata koyak rabak?!?!?! Tak cantik nanti our wedding pictures.

And pink-loving Barbie and Ken would have disapproved jugak ok. Their cute little wedding had lots of pinks but tak excessive sampai kena gadai mata segala.
