Last Sunday ada acara merisik for one of my cousins. Ochu, my Maklang’s youngest daugther had a simple ceremony at her house in AU5D Ulu Kelang. It was merisik cum simple engagement ceremony. Date of the Wedding has been fixed in November this year. Everyone in our family is really looking forward for this wedding. The last wedding we had for my dad’s side family was mine

The theme colour for the wedding is also fixed for apple green. Kena pegi carik kain and tudung kaler hijau kat Jakarta lah this weekend

Nowadays, I noticed, most weddings will have natural or pastel colours for themes. I tak kisah apa kaler pun, terpulang kepada tuan rumah, hehehe. Ikut suka minat and budget masing2. Then family semua mesti pakai sedondon kan?

I remembered my wedding theme colour : Very Bright Red!

At first I wanted pastel blue, but DK wanted blue for his kenduri. Apa nak buat, dua-dua pun minat blue. So, I decided to go for bright red! I was contemplating between bright red or bright orange (biar betul Aida?? hehehe) but it was all depending on what “Sari” material my colleague bawak balik from India. I kirim kat Lina on her trip to India : Beli Kain Sari kaler bright red or bright orange for my baju kawen. Dia pun pening, hehehe. Ended, Lina bawak balik Sari kaler bright red! I SUKA! ngeh-ngeh-ngeh….

My mom was opposing it at first, my aunties sibuk suruh carik lace lah, even my wedding planner, hehehe. But i told them, my wedding, my kain, my kaler, my say! At last, semua mengalah. Madam Wedding Planner, my good friend, Aween, designed a simple wedding gown. Tapi dia nak I pakai ala-ala bollywood maharani lah pulak, hehehe. Puas ikut dia pegi Jakel cari bridal satin material to match the sari material.

Hasilnya…….. bak kata anak sedara saya “Merah nya Mak Ngah!”

Memang I mintak backdrop pelamin tu mixture of white & red… baru boleh contrast ngan my kaler baju

I suka tailor yang buat baju kawen ni, dia buat tak kembang sangat, just nice for me yang gebu ni:)
Not expensive, but the finishing was good. Selesa and sedap pakai. Susah nak cari tailor yang pandai buat baju untuk size XXL macam saya.

Main Table setting – tetap maintain merah!

The detailed work on my baju

My family, all in red. Puas pujuk my brothers to pakai baju melayu on kenduri day. Dekat 2 bulan gak lah memujuk, hehehehe. My mom & sisters pakai baju sedondon. Kami tak pilih lace for them sebab tahu kenduri rumah nenek mesti panas, so, we search for material yang nice, ringan and serap peluh. Mama & I bought the materials at Alamoda Lagenda Heights Sungai Petani. My nieces dah tukar baju time ni. Amik gambar ni pun dah petang
