bunga bunga cinta

And since I left off on the topic of our engagement the last entry…

A week or two back after our Zumba session, Nani asked me whether I’ll be holding a bouquet for my engagement day. It didn’t occur to me that I’d need a bouquet for an engagement and even though I don’t think there is any real need, it might be fun (and good practice!) if I just try and DIY one if I have the time.

I shall repeat the magic words: “if I just TRY and DIY one IF I have the time.”

Maybe I can attempt this lovely piece:

A fellow bride-to-be blogger Minute Blogette blogged about DIY-ing a tulip bouquet for her friend’s engagement before and I thought that was so cantik as well! Yang lilies cantik, yang tulips cantik! Can’t decide! As it is I don’t even have a favourite flower.

(To be honest, I’m not really a fan of receiving flower bouquets as gifts because I think it’s a waste of money. FLOWERS DIE. Why are you giving me something that lasts well and good for only one freaking day??? My mat has only given me a bouquet once when we were still dating back in 2008 and while I thought the gesture was really sweet, I am not going to accept anything that dies after a day from him anymore, thank you very nice.)

Oh! I actually found a tutorial for fabric flower bouquet before Nani mentioned having a bouquet for my engagement and I wanted to try doing that just for fun when I have the time. But now it seems easier to start off with fresh flowers so maybe I should start off with the DIY white lilies or tulips bouquet instead of a fabric flower bouquet?

Although the good thing about fabric bouquets is that they don’t die within a day lah.

Innovative pe pakai egg beater untuk buat bouquet??? Tahun ni lepas habis buat kuih raya can pakai your egg beater to buat DIY bouquet. Senang dan ringkas! Hahaha

Another type of bouquet that I also think is nice is the brooch bouquet (and boleh tahan lama!) but the tutorial looks too difficult so tunggu jelah for buah tak jatuh eh my friends.

Of course if DIY is not really your thing, there’s always Blushing Bouquet! Tinggal submit order je and the kakak can do for you.
