Kate Spade

Aigner

I Realise...

I just realised that I'm not a girl...
Haha...i mean..yeah physically I am..
but when it comes to girls things..like shopping for handbags, make up, and whatever...
I am clueless!!
Right now...I'm required to buy a handbag..
BUT...
i don't even know where to start..
it all look similar..but none actually captured my interest..
found one..BUT..it's huge for a handbag...
hmmmmm............
i don't want an LV
i don't want a COACH
I don't even know what i want..

Anyone used Aigner / DKNY / Kate Spade bags before?
how's the quality?

HELLLPPPPP~!!!!

Maskahwin and Wedding Expenses

Mahr is a gift given by the groom to the bride after the solemnisation ceremony. It symbolises the beginning of a husband's responsibility towards his wife in fulfilling her everyday needs. Mahr can be in cash or benefits, such as gold, silver, money, land, a car, or an apartment. Mahr is the bride's right and she owns the Mahr. Thus, she has the will to dispose of it as she wishes. The current minimum rate for the Mahr in Singapore is $100 cash.

A hantaran, (marriage expenses) is a customary gift, usually in cash, given by the Groom to his bride's family for the Walimah. The Hantaran rate must be agreed upon by both parties.

A Walimah is a feast given after the marriage by the couple, which is a sunnah. Walimah is a celebration of the newly formed family and for announcing that this couple is now husband and wife. During the celebration, relatives and friends of both the husband and the wife, as well as community members are invited to get acquainted with each other and begin a nice relationship through the marriage.

Grey is the new Black

alright....
i've got no choice but to change my wedding colour scheme
why? because of the limited design/colour of my chosen deco vendor..
*on a tight budget la* so got to select affordable vendors that is available on the selected hot date...
was getting frustrated intially...
what am i to do with the colour GREY????dull, gloomy, shabby
BUT.........

SMILES

Alhamdulillah....
on the way back from class just now, received an SMS from Splendour Moments Wedding Decor of their availability on our wedding date and the price range is reaaalllyy affordable.
Seriously, I can't remember when i contacted them...
so...the moment i got home..i logged on to look at their website and portfolio..

Well,its not that impressive but for that price range, i can't expect much and it is actually really good. (its difficult to get that price range of 1.6K - 2.2K for that kind of detailed work and good theme coordination they provide)
though they don't have much flexibility in orignality (so ends up..couples engaging their service will have same decor...as what is seen in their portfolio..BUT...i'm sure with my ideas and DIY resources...i'm sure we could work something out)


COS......my priority is SIMPLE but ORIGINAL...it needs to reflect me...
I need to add in my own personal touch...
doesn't matter if I'll tire myself out but this is what I want...:)

so I guess...I'll be engaging them... AND doing more research for my DIY pelamin plan?...:)
