Tray Bearers

I was so lucky to have met up with Ezzati right before her recent buying trip to China - she came back with sooooo many fabric swatches for me to choose from. RAMBANG MATA MAK! I showed her a few ideas that I got off Google and Pinterest and magazine cuttings, and it's like she literally went inside of my head and picked out the exact fabrics and materials and textures that I would have picked myself!! And we found one especially nice sequined piece that would look so great on my baby sister - in non other than BLUSH and GOLD, my exact colour theme for the Nikah. *somersaults* So over some frappucinos and poorly made pastries (sorry Starbucks but your food really needs to "buck" up!) we finalized the colours and materials I liked for all the outfits. At the next meeting she will be showing me the sketches for all my 10 girls based on that.

My maid of honour and dulang bearers will look sooooo friggin cool in custom Ezzati Amira KL dresses, can't wait!! :D

Colour Me Pretty!

I've decided to go with a gold & blush theme for my Nikah night. I've always envisioned my maid of honour and bridesmaids, or in this case, dulang girls, all decked in mismatched metallics and since we've decided to have the Nikah ceremony at night, BRING ON THE BLING! Blush was a natural progression from gold, as I still want the tone to be soft and flirty, very romantic and ethereal, so the soft blush will set off the strong gold. I've set an appointment with Ezzati Amira for tomorrow to discuss the girls' outfits, will see how that pans out. Ezzati is such a talented up and coming designer and also happens to be my junior in high school and close friends with my niece Natrah, so that's how we like to keep it in the family ;) Her designs are very edgy, definitely not your run of the mill wedding designer and that's what I like about it! Hopefully we can work well together.

Mint was another one of my final choice colours, but to avoid headache and chaos I omitted it from my colour palette. Too many colour combinations can cause confusion especially when it's not a common colour like MERAH or BIRU LAUT (Daun pudina? Macam atas laksa tu ke?) But how does one still incorporate your colour of choice without having to do it yourself? MAKE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND'S SIDE WEAR THE COLOUR! *evil laughter* Luckily my betrothed is quite flexible, has never heard of the colour "mint" before, and is game for whatever theme I throw his way so YAY. This way, my photos will have blush and gold aaaannnnddd mint (how diviiiinnnneee) and of course, bride and groom will be in white all the way.
