Review: Wedding Dress

My wedding dress is actually a very cheap version from an infamous international bridal house, Pronovias. Here's the actual design...

Mermaid tube dress with 3/4 sleeve bolero. Lace patches, sequins and beads. 

The actual dress costs thousands of dollars and of course I cannot afford such price. I don't really like the usual Malay wedding dress ala long kebaya and yes, I don't really like lace and heavy beadworks. It's just not me. The simpler the better without all the fuss but still stunning and stands out on its own. So I browsed online and found cheaper option for the dress in Ebay. I bought my wedding dress at Ebay ok! It was custom-made. I gave them my exact measurements, my choice of color and just pray that everything turns out ok.

3 weeks after that I received the parcel for my wedding dress. It's not exactly made based on the picture that I requested but similar. And I cannot complained much given the fact that I paid so very little for it. Everything was completely ok and I was satisfied. The beads are not too heavy but still adequate. The length is just like what I've imagined. Long and flowy and yes, the dress is heavy. Most importantly, it fits me well. But I did send it to Nik for a little alteration on the bolero and the hips area because I seemed to lost weight prior to the wedding. Hehe. And here's the actual dress that I wore during my wedding day...

Veil is cheap too. RM30 only from Ebay. A total bargain! It's quite long sehingga menyapu lantai and Lova fold it into two for the tier which I heart so much!

Updates and A Dress

Okay. Hi! Sorry for the lack of updates. I realized I haven't been blogging for almost a month now. I've been busy. Not much actually. But I could say things have fully-occupied my time.

So what I've been up to? Spent a few weekends back to help Johan buy materials for his attire and the groomsmen. Then met Nik to discuss the design for his baju melayu and I did ask him to help me with my wedding dress too. Yeay! One problem solved. And yep, I bought a long, flowy dress from him. Can't resist as it's a bargain. It'll be ready on June after some alterations done, just in time for me to wear it on my sister's engagement day.

The dress look a lot like this. It's pretty, flowy and Nik sewn some beads on the top part as well. I'll show you the proper pics once it's in my hands okay.

Hmmm...back to the initial story. There's not much progress for my wedding preparation tho. Most of the essential things are settled. I'm in the midst of printing out my invitation cards. I print 100pcs card during weekend. I know I start too early but I need to be prepared ahead of time. So then I can relax in the final months prior to my wedding.

Owh! How about bunga pahar/bunga telur? I strongly think they are unnecessary. It's simply adat, not even compulsory. This is the one thing that makes me think over and over again. Whether or not to have bunga pahar/bunga telur on my wedding day. I should have a reminder to alert me to make a post about this in the next entry. Heee!
