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)

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.

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! )

Wedding Photos - Taken by my BROTHER!

Salam to everyone!

As informed via my Twitter; I am featuring some of the wedding photos taken by my very own brother. He's an amateur photographer and yet I can say that he has developed preeetty much skills on this thing that he loves lately and hence, I would like to congratulate him on his achievement! (He will probably be thinking that I am saying too much about him, if he's reading this now! hehe) But hey, I am your forever supporter (& criticizer!) and will ever support you in anyway I can =D. I must say that he gets his talent from our father (he's a retired photographer by profession). Now, my brother is taking over his camera & to you, Husni (or Uni or Thoni!) I am wishing you all the best and if you have decided to do this seriously - Keep it up! May ALLAH give you guidance and bless your (& our's + the reader's) journey here & akhirat. Amin. Lots of Love: Kak Nurul.

The above photos are taken for Sha's Wedding in Segambut.
