Bought kain for solemnization outfit....we chose white..pearl white
i didnt know choosing a WHITE kain can be a headache too
so many designs, so many shades, after looking at 3..all looks the same
but thank u to my dad, mom, sis, fiance, future sis-in-law and the so many salesperson and other shoppers who contributed their views and ideas to help me choose...

in the end...we just went with our gut feeling to make the final decision
i'm sure, whatever kain we chose, dah jadi baju nanti...
sure cantik! insyaallah... :D


ok.....i really need to list down everything which needs to be done next...

Updates : Andaman and Bridal

Updates..updates...

hmm..haven't been updating for quite some time...
Abi is back now.
Took the opportunity to settle as much as we could for our wedding preparation.
So much to do so little time.
Visit Singapore expo Bridal Exhibition ang got quite a few good deals...
Its a real headache if u head to the Bridal Exhibition without focus cos there are lots of vendors trying to sell their products with promises of what seems like very very good deals (but actually,,the rest are also selling similar products at similar price range)

1) Andaman & Bridal

We can't be possibly stopping at every vendor to sit and chat with them about their packages so to narrow our choices, we walked 1 round and looked at the models and outfits on display. Anything that it too extravagant (e.g. lace kebaya with lots of bling2 and vampire-cloak-like collar), is definitely a no-no.
Our choice : traditional, simple, elegent.
Choice of colours : cream, pink, turqoise (similar to our theme colours).
Bonus: those with "puffy2" gown, especially in pink. LOL

3 choices : Chantique Brodal, Anggun Andaman, Reenz Bridal

Sat down and had a discussion with the representatives from the 3 bridals, we talked about what we are expecting,style of outfits, budget, what type of services they have to suit our needs, blablabla
Then...we compared their prices, their collection and also, the determining factor : their service (the way they talk about their products and the way they talk to us..)

finally selected : Anggun Andaman (price was a bit more than the other 2...collection of outfits was actually 2nd choice after Chantique but the main reason we chose Anggun was because, Kak Aisha was very friendly and reminded us of someone we know. And Anggun didn't try to push us into engaging their services, in fact they gave us the space for us to compare and decide. Also...Abi like their display...


We didnt actually decide there and then. We actually went back home to "digest" everything and came back the next day to confirm and paid our deposit.
