ready… set…
January 14, 2012I haven’t been stressed at all doing the wedding preparation. Everyone says we’re short of time considering we want to have a June wedding, so I thought I would be pulling hair by now.
You know why I’m not stressed?
Because Ustazah Mommy has taken all the stress from me!
My wedding decor and planning will be done by the amazing Pak Abu. I loveeee him. I wanted someone familiar and someone I’m comfortable with, so since Pak Abu did my sister’s wedding and all our big family events, I didn’t even think twice about him.
My mom has been on it with Pak Abu all the time. They’re discussing so many things from venue booking to what doorgifts to make. I know she’s loving it because she loves organizing and planning and getting stressed. You’re welcome, Mommy. Heheheheh. I can’t take much time off work, so I’m really thankful my mom is planning her my whole wedding.
Groom. Check.
Venue. Check.
Colour Scheme. Check. (this was the hardest part!)
Concept. Check.
Videography. Check.
Photography. Check.
Bridesmaids. Check.
Dresses. Almost Check.
Songket. Almost Check.
Make up artist. Not yet check. Any suggestions?
It’s really fun being involved in the wedding process, huh? I get so excited and when I was filling up the form for bride and groom’s details, I paused and thought, “Holy ****, I’m getting married. This is really happening.”
Every crazy bride’s focus is the wedding day itself. Colour of flowers, beadings on dress, how the napkins have got to be made into shapes of beautiful swans or ducks, whatnot. I think I’ll be like that nearer to the wedding.
But we have to think long-term too. Dean and I spent time to discuss our finances, and to plan ahead how to go about our married life. Dean seems confident, but I gulped a little when I thought about all sorts of ridiculous expenses we have to bear in the future. I feel like it’s a challenge to the both of us to start this life right and comfortable. Both our parents have raised us in the most comfortable lifestyles, and we need to appreciate that by working hard to maintain what they’ve given us. That only means one thing; working double as hard to get more income.
I’m going to start looking underneath my cushion for loose coins.
This is so exciting Vivy!! 5 months to go!!!
may i know which photographer did you go for? i’m looking for one for my wedding too.
tick tock tick tock.
the wedding and everything will be amazing, I’m sure. π
kite selalu dgr rezeki anak tp InsyaAllah rezeki kahwin tu pon ade.. nnti dh kawin InsyaAllah, Allah buka rezeki lagiii luas for u guys
“Most couples spend more time planning their wedding than they do planning their marriage. But the wedding lasts only a day.” (Sheikh Yasir Qadhi)
hi future bride,
khir khalid perhaps..his ‘naked make up’ is amazing but im not sure whether it will be suitable for reception.for aqad nikah maybe or maybe saidatul nisa (ella’s sister)
*just my 2 cents*
anyway, congratulation to both of u Vivy Sofinas n Fadzaruddin..
im ur silent reader before π
khir khalid, sheng saw, sue cantik … each mua has their own style. if you know what style you’re looking for vivy, then you’ll know who to go to π
vivy, check out aleng tohara. if i’m not mistaken he used to (or maybe still) works along with pak abu. his work? simply stunning. try asking pak abu himself.
ohh…i’ve cents if u want….hahaha… all the best kakvivy!!^^
Najeeb did my make up for my wedding and he is the best! He does Dato siti’s make up a lot lately and I love how you still look like urself! He’s on fb Najeeb azami! Good luck with the wedding and I’m sure everythIng will look fab!
vv…syoknyerr vv nak kahwin..alhamdulillah..semoga masjid yang bakal dibina sangat indah, damai lagi kekal abadi hingga ke surga..amin π
Khir Khalid. He did mine…
Saidatulnisa *thumbs up*
Wanna give Val Shuq a shot?Or probably Baby Mac?Their’s work are simply GOJES!
as a muslim bride, better for u to use real women make up artist. u know why riteeee… eventho they use gloves or watever.
just my ten cents opinion. =)
anyway, im sure u look stunning. cant wait for ur wedding!
good choice.. Pak Abu is the best… i love the cookies… π
make up artist? whatabout VLee?
U can opt for saidatulnisa – she does mostly for Tuanku Zahirah. And you can also try to see Tiar Zainal and Khir Khalid.
Hello Vivy! A few make up artist that you can try has got to be Sheng Saw (always work for GLAM), Khir Khalid, Tiar Zainal!
Check out for saidatulnisa. but you need to have a back-up MUA because saidatulnisa can cancel anytime; she’s under contract of the brunei agong thingy something.
She cancelled one month before my wedding -.-
I recommend Madam Hana. Even though not as famous as others, her makeup is beautiful. Or Ian Sham !
π
I’m fully recommended Aleng Tohara! π
Yeay, Vivy is getting married!! By the way Dean look like my ‘crush’.. haha
Congrats and Best Wishes on your new chapter of Life. So happy for you both! Your wedding might just spin some inspirations into my own wedding too later this year in Spring. π
Try Sue Cantik or Aleng Tohara or Tiar Zainal. Pak Abu’s favourite has been Sue Cantik and Aleng Tohara.
Saidatulnisa, no doubt her make up is cantik (although I much prefer Sue’s and Aleng’s) but she tends to either cancel at the last minute or come late. She came late for my friend’s wedding once. Sigh~ The waiting was endless!!
Sue Cantik is my all time favourite!
hey babe, i’m gonna be a June’s bride toooo..xoxo
VV, go for Liza.. Saidatulnisa’s assistant.. tanya pak abu..dia make upkn my boss, Puan Sri Nora masa wedding kat sungai rambai, melaka..mmg superb.
Vivy, since you are all about promoting up and coming local talented people, this pretty young lady named Teyn does beautiful make up! Check out her blog, http://www.makeupbyteyn.blogspot.com. =)

Do check out Ian Sham, she does the most amazing natural makeup for brides!

Vivy, Najeeb Hazami. All the way.
