Welcome Baby Party - Aliyah & Nalis in Orange & Pink

Salam,
We had a surprised 'Welcome Baby Party' for a friend. It is some sort of a tradition with me & friends where we will get together for a pot luck session after one of us has given birth. It all started out last year with Aizan (you may click here for the post), where we were planning to visit her & her new born baby. As we do not want to trouble her so much, so we surprised her with a pot luck session at her home!

Below photos are from last week's, it was Aliyah's turn. She gave birth to a baby girl, Raihana almost 4 months ago and (the plan was) we've asked her & hubby to drop by at a friend's place before going off to a wedding together - without her knowing that all of us were waiting there to surprise her with a for a get together with a brunch session!

Mini posters (in 8R photo size) as per sample above are available for sale. (Names & photos on the poster can be customized)

Gubahan Hantaran - Fresh Flowers for Nor

::Salam::
Vibrant ey!?

Can u spot the new tray?
Will upload more photos soon.
Come back often!

Reminisce

Salam fellow friends,
A few weeks back, I found a picture that took me back to 6 years ago. It was a picture of my hand bouquet for my wedding! ahakss.. back during those days Cascade bridal bouquet was the trend.. My 2 aunties: Chu Yah & Mak Ngah (who came down all the way from the down under) did the hand bouquet for me. Flowers used was various types of orchids including the Tiger Orchid & mixing them with Baby's Breath. As you can see, the picture didn't turn out very well though. (Back then, digital camera was just at the beginning of it's era). But everyone just loved the bouquet, some even said that the guests would probably notice the flowers more than me! LOL!..it's sooo not sweet for the bride, right?... ;)

Inspiration Board in Navy Blue

Salam readers,

Above: Photos taken from various sites that has inspired me!

It is very rare for our culture to have this colour theme for any weddings or events, however I did the hantaran for my (click here >) nephew in this colour by keeping the design simple & pairing the colour with white. If you keep this in mind, this dark colour which symbolizes loyalty and faith will not be seen as dull as you thought it would be ;) Have a nice..long weekend.

Mohsein & Lela: The Reception Part I

And here it is..... tada!!

Photo Above: Meja Pengantin for Makan Beradap

Photo Above: View from the left side of the stage. We switched the caterer's covered chair with white chiavari chairs and 2 crystal chiavari chairs for the pengantin.
(Unfortunately, the photogs did not snap the crystal chair's photo.. so i just post the pic taken from the internet as per below..)

Nice eh?? Isn't it lovely.. isnt's it wonderfulllll (sing-a-long-like-stevie's!!)

Photo Above: Side view from the right of the stage.


The caterer ni always include their packages with wedding cakes. My earlier plan to order a fondant cake cancel lah kan, because we were getting this cake for free. So, to make the cakes look nice(r), my uncle planned for something else and so we requested the caterer to cover the cakes with white creams and that's it! Masa caterer nak hand over cakes tu, byk kali cakap yang they did not put any deco on the cake - mcm risau semacam.. hehe then of course we said don't worry, mmg request mcm tuh...
Jeng.. jeng.. jeng.. ye lah, tak kan nak biarkan wedding cake tu gonjeng je kan? So, we placed lah some fresh cymbidiums on top of each cakes for the deco! This is soooo cost effective but yet the cakes turn out looking gorgeouslicious!
(Not to mention, the cake is absolutely yummy as well (u don't eat the bunga lah..) Seriously! This is really nice! )
