previous wedding favours..
This time, i want to share the favours for previous weddings in my family...coming from a rather big family, with 5 girls...obviously we always opt to decorate the favours ourselves..hehehe...and Alhamdulillah so far everything has worked out great for us..
let me start with our first ever wedding in the family, for this reception we decided to give out face towel...to follow the theme, my sis custom the towel with purple embroidery of her and her hubbys initials..
To decorate it, we cut a piece of paper rolled it together with the towel and tied it with a silver string...we didn't have a separate gift for the kids..hehe.yelah our first wedding ...we didn't know at the time...the results...hehehe..as the picture below....
For the 2nd nikah in our family, one of my dear sister decided to make something special...the best choc dates i have ever tasted..hehehe...yummy-yummy...but for my nikah my sis will be too busy, so i decided to buy it from marry me gift & such ..inshaAllah...
For her reception, we gave jams..tiny jam bottles..we ordered the jam online, from a Malaysian website, so they posted it straight to our home without having to pay tax for jams..so best...

results..ehehe..because this was paling susah to do (our fingers were sore tying the ribbons), and we made like 800 of them, so i have to say this is my fav..also because the jam was my idea...hehehe.i wanted to give honey out as my wedding favour, but it turns out that not many people like honey....hmm..
For the children we bought chocs from mydin in subang, and wrap them up with around doily paper hmm i think thats what they are..hehehe...
For the 3rd reception, we gave out natural soaps..we went to Bali and went crazy with the Bali soap..and somehow my brother came up with the idea to give them out as his wedding favours..hehhe...of course we didn't have to go Bali again, we just ordered them online..heheh..and they shipped it here...it came as a package + the thank you tag sekali...this was the most expensive favour actually..sbb the shipping was quite mahal + the thank you tag all and the tax..yes..the tax yg buat it mahal......but the best part, we didn't have to do anything...and of course my family was very happy with the results..they even custom the colour ikut our theme..ehehe
for the kids we gave them helium balloons and chocolates..urgh i forgot to take the choc pictures..and the official photo from the photographer tak siap lagi..(yes it has been 6 months n still 1 picture pun we havnt seen yet, so sad because they are very well known photographers)

In conclusion, i think chocolate is somehow paling diminati ramai...I'm very particular with chocolate taste, so inshaAllah for my reception we are going to buy terus from the factory..heheh..tapi lama lagi.. and of course the helium balloons for the kids....

I may not be posting for a bit because my laptop has crashed on me :( Technology is so annoying! On the plus side.. if I can't get it fixed I'll just have to get a brand new shiny one, yayy (I hope it does though as I haven't backed anything up. Fantastic.) I'm writing this from a different laptop in case you were wondering lol..

Hmm think I'm guna nick my brothers eshamagh, I'm loving this look. Well, the headscarf look anyway, although a slightly looser, long sleeved version of that coat would be lush :D

Square Hijab Tutorial
In under 30 seconds..
OK, I thought it was funny lool :D He's a revert, Masha'Allah, from Finland! His other videos are actually really good (and slightly more serious). I think they would benefit reverts and born Muslims alike, unlike some other converts videos that are just a bit, well, fickle.

Nabila's Pick Of The "Week"
I don't think I've done one of these posts in a month or so but I'm not going to switch to Nabila's pick of the month :S. Anywayy, here's her outfit:
I love the polka dot dress, but couldn't find a nice one when I was doing my version of her look. So instead, I picked a cute polka dot cardigan ^-^ Paired with a simple blue dress and wide leg jeans, I think it would work:
More coming soon, Insha'Allah!

nikah ring
yay alhamdulillah after waiting for 2 weeks they finally finished setting my nikah ring...
when they called to say its ready, I so harassed habib to pick it up asap..so we went the next day...
once we settled the diamond, i was still very keen on a yellow gold casing, carik2 the couldn't find the one the design i wanted...kena re size...seeing that its going to be my nikah ring, i was not so keen on getting it re sized..i wanted it just as it is...the one that didn't need resizing, the prongs arrangement couldn't fit the diamond that we choose...
after a few minutes she came and said ok i have something else that's better but its not what u had in mind though..she showed me the casing no 2, ..but somehow it is secretly exactly what i had in mind..it has a solid band with 4 prongs..plus the casing fit my diamond perfectly.....
guess what???I finally choose a white gold casing..hehe..it looks something like this...pic taken from google of course..hhehee
its so cantik...its alot nicer that i thought it would be...simple and classic...hehe..timeless...
remember this post when i said i was going to go for yellow gold...i guess takda rezeki right..perhaps next time...
inshaAllah...
