Six Months Update!

Salam peeps.

Today, we have 6 months left to our solemnization day. Lets make it 5 more months left for wedding preparations as the last one month will be the "pampering" month. Everything should be done by mid November. It's been a year preparation but we still have lots of things left to prepare such as door gifts, catering and so on.

Last Saturday my fiance and I went to Yayasan, Pusat Kesenian and Sumbangsih to look for kain jongsarat in grey silver. Alhamdulillah we found one in Sumbangsih that's ready made, else we have to custom made a new one and wait till November. We bought from Hikmah Enterprise and their shop is home-based in Kg. Lumapas. No more hassle waiting for the desired color to be made. Yay!!! We also managed to deposit Mutiara Ayu to confirm all our bookings and bought telekung for hantaran.

I think that's all for the 6 months update. Staytune for my next post. Insya-Allah I'll be sharing address and contact numbers if you're looking for "Kain Tenunan Brunei". I got their business cards while I was visiting their shops in Sumbangsih. So why not I  share it with you guys right??? =D

Till then. *toodles*

Sanding Theme

Salam guys. 

I've created my own wedding color palette from the following website http://www.colourlovers.com  for my sanding.

What do you think? =))

Creative Guestbook Ideas

Salam. Hello people. Long time no blog. =P Sorry.

 I want to have a guestbook for my wedding reception and so I did some research. It seems that I'm loving the "VINTAGE" theme.

So here are some of the creative vintage ideas I came across:

Polaroid book. Update the traditional photo album with a fun, retro feel by placing a Polaroid camera on a table along with colored pens and have your guests take shots of themselves or each other and sign or write fun notes on the bottom of the photos. You can even string up clothes lines for guests to pin their photo creations on to jazz up the reception. Later on, you can place your favorites in a photo album-type guest book or create a framed photo collage.

Fingerprint Guestbook Love this cute idea, give your guests a large pre-printed tree on which to add their fingerprinted leaves to as well as their names. An artistic and creative alternative wedding guestbook idea that will still look fab hanging in your home as art long after the day is over.

Typewriters What a great twist on the ever popular typewriter guest book! A vintage typewriter is used to create guest notes. When the guests are done typing their note, they throw the note in the waste basket! What a unique and fun idea. Just be sure the clean up crew doesn’t really think it’s trash.

 

Wedding Wish Tree. Guest can fill your tree up with “wish” leaves. Great for an indoor or outdoor wedding.

Postcards in a suitcase/mailbox. Ask your guests to write their messages on post cards the collect them in a vintage suitcase. This is perfect for travel-themed weddings.

Airmail Wishes for the couples. Had guests write on cards which were then enclosed in air mail envelopes in lieu of a guestbook.

Puzzle Guestbook. Have your guests write their messages on the individual pieces then collect them in a jar or box. Later on, you and hubby can have fun putting it all together!

Jenga Tower Alternative Guestbook. A simple and no-fuss guestbook alternative! Have your guests sign Jenga blocks (and remember your guests whenever you play the game).

A Wish Wall. Have your guests tuck colorful wishes into little cardboard cubbyholes. You can then transport the whole wall for decorating your home later on

Mad Libs Inspired Guestbook. This idea will take your guests way back to their school days.These are a fun way for your guests to leave a personal yet funny message. 

Unconventional Guestbook . Guests signed framed records that would be hung in the couple's home. Brides and grooms are encouraged to make their guest books personal. You'll never display a plain ole guest book, but you will hang a pair of vintage skis in your home if you're a skier or a beautiful vintage book. Get creative!

Chalkboard Message in Photobooth. Cut-out bubble shapes and coat it with chalkboard paint. Place them by your photo booth and let your guest write a short message before having their hilarious pose infront of the camera.

Photo Frame Guestbook. Celebrate your wedding day along with loving words of your friends flanked by your chosen wedding photo. Use an acid free fine point pen to protect your guest’s messages for many years.

I think that's all for now. I'll share some more next time.

Till then. =))
