Wahlauweh. Cannot wait to go through the racks of Versari Ade now lor. 

Three more months (to our outfit selection) ok guys!!! :O :O :O

(Jentayu Gallery has also posted official pictures of the wedding exhibition on their Facebook so remember to go check them out.)

And since I'm here, can I just express my heartiest congratulations to my chosen invitation card designer 'From Fran With Love' for hitting her first thousand 'likes' on Facebook?!!! Just in time for anniversary lagi ok! You all boleh dapat 10% off promo sempena FFWL's anniversary ok!

Wheeeee!!! (I wheeeee untuk you all ok, because I dah tak boleh wheeeee for myself sebab dah book From Fran With Love in April gitu so tak dapat lah this promo. Hur hur.)

Anyway, anyway.

Finally bought the last maha last barang dulang last weekend and we finally got down to business - took measurements and pictures of our barang barang dulang and compiled them together with information on our chosen colours and theme into one Microsoft Word document before sending it over to Ola Lola. 

Here is a picture of my mat tengah semangat ambik gambar one of the barang dulang, siap dengan lampu spotlight segala hahahahahaha:

YAY, SETTLE! Really glad we eventually decided on the same (awesome) service provider for both our dulang gubahan because it makes things sooooo much more easier lor.

Oh, we also took the time to watch videos of all the tok tok kadi doing their thing for akad nikah in the videos listed in one of my previous entries and he has already listed down his Top 5 tok kadi choices - will only know our luck and fate in the next two days so I'll be back with news! Sit tight, guys.

where is the love?

Ooh, such a classy and gorgeous affair captured by the good old CST Singapore!

When we engaged CST Singapore at MegaXpress' wedding exhibition last year, we had a verrry good discount off their usual charges but this promo, my friends, is sooo much better than the one we got ok! So if you're still looking for videography for your wedding and you're interested in CST Singapore, you tunggu ape lagi ni?! HARI RAYA HAJI?!

Looks like y'all know where to go during the long weekend if you're looking discounts on invites, henna, gubahan, sireh dara and bunga rampai for your wedding! Kalau you memang going to Jentayu Gallery and friends punya wedding gallery on 24th May 2013, boleh singgah Singapore Expo sekali to visit The Card Maison and Pesona Belle's booth and terus turn it into a kahwing kahwing weekend woohoo! Have fun ok korang :D

pesanan khas hari ini

Hari ni I nak kasi heads up!

This heads up is specially for those who might have booked the venue that I mentioned in my previous entry about my chosen venue - please take note that Dzul the liaison person has left the organization and I strongly encourage you to call Hashim (the new liaison person) to arrange a meeting with him to confirm your booking and package details to avoid future conflict or confusion. Very, very important to reconfirm your package details and ensure that you all are on the same page tau. You can message Dzul for his contact details or you can email me for the information ok!

Cannot thank Maryate, another BTB who booked the same venue, enough for emailing me to give me a heads up about the change. Syukur alhamdullilah for the chain of events that happened because we wouldn't have known there's a minor discrepancy if we hadn't gone down to meet the new liaison person. Better to sort it out now then sort it out only two to three months before the wedding, I say! So I'm "paying this forward" by letting you all you all yang dah book the venue after getting the quotation and contact from me so you all you all can make the necessary arrangements ok? Don't say I never say hor!

Jangan hegeh hegeh and jangan tunggu tunggu ok guys, nanti nearer to your wedding date ada je discrepancies, melalak menangis meraung nanti.

Ok next! Next pesanan khas is for those yang planning to head to Fiesta Pengantin Perdana 2013 next weekend - go visit Heirblooms (Bridal Bouquet Couture)'s Booth No. 22 if you're looking for affordable bridal bouquets for your event and simply quote "Kahwin Khronicles" to get $5 off your total bill ok!!!

Some of their works lifted off their Facebook! Macam macam bouquet they all ada... Brooch bouquet ada~~~ Fresh flowers bouquet ada~~~ Pearl bouquet ada~~~

Wish I can say I'll be there to show my kakak kahwing support (and buat menyemak semak of course, hur hur) but next weekend is reserved for our Orang Orang Kuat day! Finally packing our groomsmen and bridemaids off to the tailor to take their badan measurements and it'll be the first time we'll get to meet every single one of them together satu kali gus! Time to unleash the first "tekan", recruits? :P

XOXO

Woohoo! Settling our booking for chiavari chairs next week!

We were talking about our decor setup recently when I remembered that we have to book chiavari chairs for our reception soon (since our decorators don't have their own chiavari chairs in stock). Texted Zahrin from Kasai Sayang about it and being the superbly helpful darling that he is, he told me that XOXO & Co is having a promo rental price for their chiavari chairs!!!

SWEE.

When we first set aside our budget for chiavari chairs, it was at $10 per chair but with XOXO & Co's awesome promo of $6 per chair, syukur Alhamdullilah for... *calculates pakai calculator sebab weak in mental sums* ... $800 savings!!!

Actually all savings are welcome when it comes to wedding planning lah - $8 savings ke, $80 savings ke, $800 savings ke, savings is savings is savings. The only thing yang lain is savings dulu simpan dalam kotak tin bawah katil, savings sekarang simpan dalam joint bank account dengan orang yang tersayang :P

And taaaaalking about savings! We recently made some savings on our wedding bands too!!! Went to recce for wedding bands last week, found bands that we both loved (even though they're not matching wedding bands - not really a big deal for us since I'm not that big a sucker for matching things and my mat doesn't mind, anyway) aaaaand the best part is - we got them within our set budget even though there weren't any Christmas sale discounts for the ones we picked out.

Yay yay! My mat dah boleh put a ring on it! Hee hee.

Tak sia sia overestimate and jack up our budget sebab whenever something we book or buy for the wedding falls way below or at least within our budget, the flood of euphoria bursting through us seriously awesome tak belum angz. If you're not doing this already, please do so ok! Always, always, always overestimate your budget for emergencies. Kalau takde emergencies, even better - you'll feel damn good when you have excess cash to save or play around with after paying off whatever it is that you need to pay for.

And I cannot thank Zahrin from Kasai Sayang enough for recommending XOXO & Co and their promo to me!!! Why you so tulen and so baik hati ni. Another vendor who is dengki and mata duitan might have done something devious instead: Book chairs on clients' behalf at $6 per piece, quote $10 per piece to the clients and diam diam about it in hopes that the clients tak tau about the promo, and pocket the difference for themselves as profit.

Sooooo kalau you all you all pun nak tempah chiavari chairs for your reception, don't miss this opportunity to grab them from XOXO & Co at a much lower price ok! Tapi promo sampai January 2013 aje tau, so you all tak boleh hegeh hegeh macam makcik ke pasar membeli ikan, membeli ikan si ikan tenggiri, lambat booking promo lari, melalak menangis lah you sorang diri!

I must give you all heads up, though - dorang maybe reply lambat sikit because apparently their admin person is away for maternity leave so manpower ada kureeeeennnggggg sikit. It took them 10 days to email me and their service is more business-like than warm, although I might be wrong - nak kena meet the owner in person next week before I know for sure.

Ok lah tu je goodie I nak share for today. Have a good weekend errrrrbody! XOXO sama you all!
