As promised the ever over due last post of my wedding.
( 3 months after hehehe )
No word can describe of how much i love every bits of my wedding. It is definitely the best day of my life.
Both two reception , all in a perfect day , i get the dream dresses i wanted , how i imagine i would look that day from the solemnization to the reception...surrounded by all the people i loved most and top it all up to today i still can believe i'm am now married to the guy of my dreams.
If i could have probably have some teeny bit of things if i ever got the chance to do it differently.
Well some sort of a time machine where u can pause , rewind and do over...haha.
I am not complaining and really i am happy for how beautiful my wedding has been .. only if i do over , this are perhaps the small details that might need re-work.
Let's look it this way , this would be a tips for those planning for their wedding that you might not think of or over look perhaps.
Have another group of professional photographer instead of just relying on one.
If budget is not a problem for you , and the second photographer should have different style that your other photographer so you will have the variety of pictures and moments that was capture.
Yes , 1 photog is good enough but i love looking all the pictures over and over and never really get tired of it so if only i have a second one that have different style to add more to the memories.
Having to hire either Anna Rina or Fad Manaf would probably be top on my list (=
Having said about the pictures , i love looking at them but if i could probably have :
1. A more 'out there' and 'fun' photo booth - probably made a frame and have more props instead of just the wordings i have made also yes to have someone with tripod to ease up in capturing the pictures. This way a more loosen up pictures ( not to formal and most importantly i can see that everyone had a great time with the photo booth!) oh yes and to have Polaroid or other means that once the pictures was snap , guest can alo keep a copy of the pictures.
2. Details and more details of the wedding. I want shoes , dresses , outfits , deco even to the very details of my loved ones and friends to be capture at the wedding reception but common style of Malaysia photographer are lacking in that =(
3. If only after the wedding we can probably have an outdoor shoot with me wearing my wedding dress and hubby with his suit anywhere ( i'm thinking beach haha ) or even to the next day. We were pretty worn out after the reception that i think to just settle it in door in the hotel would do justice but then after macam menyesal plak.
p/s : hunny can we arrange for outdoor wedding shot redo somewhere , Dubai perhaps ? =)
4. Not having a photo list . Well if i have printed the list and gave to the photographer so that all details will be captured and who should be in picture also.
Next , i think what important also is the bride need to make sure that she has enough sleep ( not like me who only had less than 3 hours of sleep ) so that you will have all the energy and your skin will glow more. A good makeup artist is also important. So make sure you get good sweet dreams of 5 hours sleep at least.
The decoration at home i wished i could have more time to do more. More in terms of setting the mood and theme. The decoration and props and everything use for the wedding are pretty much DIY but there are also some details that i left out due to time constraint , last last terasa malas nk buat and tak nanti copy cat idea lain so in the end i settle with the very basic that will vision out my wedding would be. Satisfied but hehehe i could have it all would be splendid ( ok now being greedy).
Talking about greedy , i love flowers and if only budget is not an issue i wish i could have many flowers i want for the wedding both home and hotel reception. The mini pelamin at home to be replace with real roses and white orchid and to have countless drapes of jasmine flowers even at the hotel reception. Flowers everywhere at the table centerpiece for every guest table.
Another important aspect is for the you the bride to must wear all your wedding shoes before the wedding day ( i have 3 for all my reception) so that you are comfortable and your shoe will not be the first thing you want to take it off. I didn't wear my Gold Glittery Steven Madden pumps not before heading to the mosque and i have to remove it once we are home for the photo session after everything. The Ted Baker hot pink killer heels well , it was ok but back in my mind while i was dancing the night i kept worrying that i might trip and fell but Alhamdullillah i didn't so yeay! and the last pair Nine West diamante killer heels was comfy but dress kain was so ketat i can only give small strides as i walk.
Having said about the kain , do your fitting at least 3 times if u plan to rent your wedding baju and insist to start fitting early and not the very last minute ( like 2 week before) with your wedding planner or mak andam. The baju should fit you well (mine it fit me well but on the wedding day i had problem to walk in a ketat kain) , no looses end e.g top to your butt ketat but then thigh below loose that make it look like fitting tak betol or chest area all fitted nicely but sampai kat shoulder and tangan especially celah ketiak ada loose trust me i've seen in pictures and always wonder why people tend to miss out that all detail. Always have a backup if your guts tells you that the wedding planner might give you trouble , discuss with your husband for plan B.
Lastly , after my wedding reception that day actually ... i then understand why people had solemnization and reception on separate days...because they can feel and have more days be the "Raja Sehari".
I think one day is not enough hehehe for me.
Kinda sad when the celebration is over and you'll miss the whole prep and bride gone crazy all over.
Oh well i know i can get all crazy planner again for my sister wedding plak ... jeng jeng jeng.
