A Picture's Worth

Recent trends have shown the significant inclination of modern couples to have their pre-wedding pictures taken. Some argued, what would be the point of having them? There is no denying that a pre-wed picture would lack the intimacy, hence the non- variety of poses.

Pre-wedding pictures to me are important to mark the couple's moments of love, to capture the happiness and anticipation before the real day comes. Mr fiance dearest has yet to agree for us to have pre wedding pics (yes, dear, i know you think it'll be a waste) but just hear me out.

Don't deny that these are some fantastic shots :P

Taking the Plunge in Colour Style

After months of blank incomprehensible stares whenever asked about my wedding theme and colour, I have finally decided to stick to a combination I love most.

Colours are important in potraying one's style and identity. So I'm planning to take this seriously, regardless of what people may say. Night or daytime, traditional or modern, the event should be able to portray the joys of the eventful day (in this case, it should be 3 days!) , without being wasteful.

One of trickiest things to do is to covince the rest of the family on the theme and concept. Since pink was optioned out, here's what I have in mind:


For Aqad (Adrin's Residence):
Silver, Light Green, White



For My Reception (Klana Resort):
Yellow, Green, White


For Mr Fiance's Reception (Tabung Haji, Ampang):
Pink, Fuschia, Light Green, Yellow


Thank goodness all of my wedding dresses are white. Matching them shouldnt be that much of a problem. Now, on to the shoes and bouquet!

:D

The "Carrie" Inspiration

And what do I love most about Sex and the City? Was it Carrie Bradshaw's bold choice in outfits, heels and accessories? I definitely have to say, it is more than that. Truthfully, I envy her spirit in being true to herself. She admits her doubts, her flaws and picks herself up after each and every breakup she had with guys who turned out to be losers.

Fun and quirky, Carrie has never failed to crack me up with her witty jokes. Apart from what her Russian used to call her (the comic), she values her friends and embraces life in the most colourful way. She took risks in love.

And that is where an idea hit me. The Carrie Inspiration!

So what the heck is it? It's basically an idea to have an ensemble or selection of satc-inspired risik, engagement and bridal wear for the upcoming big day! I have to admit, it's definitely going to be rather tricky since I wear tudung, but I'm determined to make this work!

My 2 favourite characters in the series are Charlotte and Carrie, I'm thinking ...maybe a fun, playful baju kurung modern (with class, of course!) in pink and light green for the engagement and a tasteful pink and white for the wedding.

And the hunt is ON! Wish me luck!
