Material Girl, Material World

Some say that a dream wedding would probably eat up most of your savings. Weddings are even considered to be a multi million ringgit industry in Malaysia (yea, i actually looked that up). Since mr fiance dearest and I had came up with the so-called wedding budget about a month ago, I couldnt help but wonder, would spending most (if not all) of my money be worth it? People who know me well would realise that despite my small pay I do have an unhealthy splurging appetite on branded goods (walaupun tak mampu!)


(yea this pic is rather tiny)

I, for one had my eyes set on my dream dais by dicky d fabulous, and let me tell you, his price range is 'fabulous' indeed. A basic pelamin in a ballroom is a mind staggering RM 10k, not including aisle deco or even the arch! *chokes*

So what now? Logic would dictate that one (with mediocre pay and insufficient savings) should opt for a close duplicate. Aaah, but the trick is finding a wedding decorator who is willing to do so for half the price ;) So I'm currently scouting for one fast and currently having a few options in mind.

And yes, a colleague had even suggested that I take a peek at the oh-so famous lynda rahim butik in ampang. Rental of a wedding dress + groom's suit alone costs RM4k. Unfortunately,I had already fell in love with lynda rahim's fantastic lace beaded dress with flowing veil and train (yes, it was also featured in a magazine)

Perhaps it isn't such a great idea to waltz around famous couture designer boutiques anymore and stop pretending that I could actually afford those :(




Heck, call me shallow all you want. At least cheap ordinary stuff sometimes do look pretty pricey under dim lightings, right? *Sighs*
