Bits and bots

Salam b2bs,

Apologies for the lack of posting, work has been taking its rightful priority these days. :)

Anyways, hope everybody is in the best of health and iman, as always. There hasn't been much going on in terms of wedding preparations these days. Only bits and bots of it sja... and they came through the mail! Heeee.

My tudongs for the engagement. Thanks to the lovely sister for delivering them all the way from the UK. :D So sooo happyyy!

Also, these came in from my Mum. She had the engagement folder designed by a friend of hers and we just got it back yesterday - it did not disappoint!

Sorry had to give in sneak peaks saja, do not want to disclose my identity here, hehe. But lawa kn?? Simple but nice. For once, I gave the entire responsibility to my Mum and I'm glad she made a good choice at choosing the designer. Not that I don't trust her, but I just have a little bit of an OCD perfectionist disorder. ;)

As for the designer, she is not well-known but I have to say, she's quite meticulous and neat with her work. I'm very fussy about my wedding preps and this was one situation where I did not have the chance to research and review, but her work still made the cut anyway. Definitely a high recommendation for this one! If anybody's interested, drop me a comment and I'll pass you her number or for those who know me, contact me sja *wink* *wink*.

Also, just a quick review on Roza Rohaya! The other half and I managed to drop by their boutique during one of our lunch breaks last week and we had a look at their boutique and prices. I have to admit, out of all the boutiques I've gone to so far, this has got to be the priciest place to rent your wedding things. But! I loooooove their wedding bajus and they pretty much have everything there, from the renting of veils, inner tudungs, kasuts, you name it. The ones that I've been to so far focused mostly on the bajus and wedding accessories but the wedding accessories are often incomplete so this was definitely a plus-point for this place. I suppose quality-wise, they're quite high up in the list so if anybody's looking for quality and is willing to pay the price, this might just be the place. Otherwise, other places pun ok jua and better pricing too! :)

Till then!

Wedding boutiques

Salam again all~

So it just came to my realisation that I haven't actually included a list of the wedding boutiques that I've had my eye on for the past few weeks on the sidebar.. and voila! I've just added them! :D

As you can see, the list is not particularly comprehensive but based on my experiences of blog-hopping and review-searching, these are the ones that keep on popping up and have been recommended by many so far.

- Pelamins

I've heard many many good reviews of RN Wedding and I think the pictures in their website actually speak for themselves. They are just simply gorgeous!! The recent one they did for a couple's bersanding ceremony was absolutely beautiful and unique - I've never actually seen this kind in Brunei since I started all this wedding preparation thing. I guess the whole lavender/purplish hue kinda biased my interest in it a bit - but still! Gorjaasssssssss!!

- Home Deco

Roz Flower Boutique is amaaaazing when it comes to home deco. Someone I knew had her room decoration as well as living room ceiling decoration done by them and I absolutely loved it! I think their main speciality is the scalloped ceiling deco, as shown in example I found below. Pretttyyyyy~! I'm actually getting mine done from them too, excitiing! :D

- Wedding attire

But I suppose the biggest issue for most bride-to-bes out there would be choosing the wedding attire - where to rent them, where to design them, where to get the kains and the list just goes on. I guess it's part and parcel of being what a bride is - to look pretty on her wedding day ;) But anyhow, for wedding attires, there is quite a selection available here. If you're looking into designing and making new attires though (which is what I've searched for), Anyati, Hjh Lina (of Ong Sum Ping) and Aaliah Asmara has been mentioned quite a number of times. They're quite pricey BUT highly recommended so it's really up to your choice. ;) Personally, I've chosen Anyati for my baju nikah. I've seen the design and like what I see so far, hopefully that translates to reality as well! Eeks, hehehe :D

If you're looking to rent bridalwear, however, a lot of people have recommended Roza Rohaya, Nurhayana and Ruzz Enterprise (in no particular order). The first two are easier to search for in the internet so you can browse through their collection on their website/fb but Ruzz Enterprise has neither so you actually have to go to their store and see for yourself. I haven't done this so I can't say the differences between the three but hoping to do that soon. Will keep you posted!
