eday preparation

Such a long holiday. 4 days. Hehuww. I just came back from my hometown. Took 1 day emergency leave since one of my relative passed away. Al-fatihah to my relative grandmother . May her soul blessed by Allah s.w.t.

I spent my holiday mostly browsing and shopping for the engagement. I bought quite a few things during this holiday. For the diy dais and the hantaran.

I bought the candle lantern, ribbon, span flower, 2 additional hantaran basket, flower span (notice the former and latter are different), tissue paper and more flowers. I was sooo happy buying all these stuffs.The shops were so near to my house and the prices are more cheaper or at least same as the one I bought at Nilai and Fah Lean Floral at Balakong. Seriously hujan emas definitely di negeri sendiri. lol

My eday outfit also already done. Well, done for the tailor part at least. For my part, I need to patch some lace and beadings. I already draft a bit.

not sewn yet. i just put the lace and the fabric flower. i hope after sewing, it wont go so messy and still nicely put like this. 

candle lantern. one for RM21.80. i bought two at Kedai Warisan Sinar, Taman Samudera, Manjung. don't know whether the price is cheap or not, one thing I know if I want to rent it (if from somethingborrowedfrom nawal), for 1 candle lantern is RM10. Since she's staying in Putrajaya and I am in Subang, the fuel and toll cost can reach to RM50 (for pick up and return), so the total will be RM70. Pheww. Buying is more feasible.

excuse the messy bedsheet. all this cost RM10. bought at a shop BESIDE yun yun florist, Taman Samudera. The price is the same as Fah Lean Floral. In fact, there are more choices of flowers. Really. I just want to go again to the shop. 

my humble partial diy handbouqet. lol. seriously don't have any idea on how to make this flowers more beautiful. i think for engagement is quite okay. 

Okay enough with the update. Right now I really hope everything will go as planned since now my mom want to involve herself a lot in the engagement. She insisted on giving 7 hantaran  instead of 5 hantaran! (T_T) Mama, kakyang yang kena keluarkan duit. Wuwu.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.

my first diy

I'm excited. Last night I slept very late to do my first DIY which is the fabric flower and today after come back from work, I did the tissue flower. Here they are:

Hihi. Since they are the first one so imperfection is everywhere! When you are doing the fabric flower make sure you cut your fabric at the right length so that you can get the flower effect illusion. Also don't forget to iron the edge of the fabric, the flower petals will look much better.

For the tissue flower, make sure you use more than 1 layer of tissue because if not, your flower won't look like flower, it will become flat and not pretty. Oh by the way, the yellow one is separate from the white flower. Both are tissue flower but with different method. Hihi.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
