POST 77: DiRi SaYa..

Salam Kengkawan...!!


Sudah lama tidak menulis blog...
ini gara-gara kemaruk citer korea...
maraton "my girl" buat kali ke-9...
dan sekarang maraton citer "personal taste"
org mmg hantu korea..kah3


Tp hari ini...tergelak sendiri bile org lain memanggil org dgn nama Bukan Puteri Cinderella or BPC...
Ade citer di sebalik BPC ni...


Asalnya nama blog bukanlah "From the heart of a Bride" tapi..."Bukan Pernikahan Cinderella...."
tu pasal nama penulis saja buat BPC supaya tally la dgn nama blog...kih3...
tapi...bile da buat....dan tgk2...ramai yg pakai perkataan cinderella ni utk blog diorg...
hmm...so, tkr temporarily kepada From the heart of a bride...
tp..forget tu tukar balik...nak tukar pon da tak best..sbb takut few fren tak jumpa blog if they type different blog name...hmm...


tapi...kenapa "Bukan Pernikahan Cinderella" yg org nak utk nama blog...
kisahnye begini......


dapat inspirasi utk menulis blog pasal my wed prep from en.hubby to be...
satu hari die membelikan beberapa buah buku sebagai hantaran...
Org curious nak tau tajuk buku yg die belikan....
pada mulanye die takmau bgtau...tp...last2 die bgtau jugak salah satu tajuk buku tu....


"Bukan Pernikahan Cinderella"
Dalam telefon, cekmat membacakan sinopsisnya....

"Cinderella tidak pernah pening memikirkan harga beras yang terus naik, harga minyak yang melambung, apalagi kisah selepas berumahtangga...Cinderella juga tidak pernah terbayang bagaimana caranya membangunkan rumah tangga idaman dan berhubungan baik dengan jiran tetangga. Jadi jangan pernah bayangkan pernikahan yang seindah cinderella."

Buku ni agaknye kot...hik3...

Ye...bile difikir2 pada zaman ni...semua nak perkahwinan ala2 cinderella...

terutamanya dlm persiapan perkahwinan...sanggup berhabis, meminjam, dan berhutang utk perkahwinan...

walhal hari selepas kahwin itu lebih penting...

that's why org tidak mau jadi mcm cinderella...

mau bertapak di dunia yg lebih realiti...

tp dek kerana cinderella ni la...org inspired utk tulis blog...
Konsep asal nak citer the whole mental, physical & spiritual preps..
but later..turn out that i juz wrote on physical/material preps only...
kurangnye iman dan ilmu nak citer persediaan rohani...

jadi....i juz write cerita sendiri.....share my prep as a bride...

yg tak seberapa ni....

concept utama: budget wise and cantik!! hehe....

Itu citer lain....kembali kepada niat asal tulis entry ni...
sbb org klaka bile org lain pggil "Bukan Puteri Cinderella..."
org mau memperkenalkan diri dgn rendah diri...
sbb da byk new fren among my readers now..
so, they probably dont know me...even my nick name...kih3....
tak kenal maka tak cinta kan...?? kan..? kan...?


ok...nama...Lijalila Ahmad Maulana...
kecik2 org tak suka nama ni....da besar suke giler...
sbb in this whole world, maybe ade sorg je pakai nama ni...
(at least kat yellow pages...kih3)
so, boleh pggil org - lija....that's more nice & warm kan as a fren...
org pon da tukar profile name tuh...


Then, a lil bit of my profile...
i study health sciences..but turning into an engineer...
facing difficulties everyday- reading plan, plant spec & eng term...kih3...
The only girl in the dept beside our lovely clerk..
I love books, pencinta alam dr kecil....


To describe myself....i am S.i.M.P.L.E...
but at almost time, i think a lot too...
so, my wed concept surely will be simple...
so, utk cari tips on how to make a grand wedding...
ini bukan blognye....ini hanya perkongsian kisah org...ape org pk....ape org suke...ape org nak buat...
for my wedding...


Ade yg kata org ni anak somebody..
aiisssyy...klaka sgt2 tuh....abah mmg somebody to me la..
tp bukan org berada ok...
abah tak bekerja...ibu kerja kemasyarakatan...
so, org hanya budak kampung dr keluarga yg biase2 saja...


Ada fren yg tanya....??
"how come u turn out to be so good at everything..be eng. wif no eng. b/ground & at the same time ade ciri2 kewanitaan-blh jahit, masak etc"
kembang kempis idung bile kwn org kata camnih..tak tdo mlm 3 hari...kah3....
perasan *%6@#
jwpnnye..dr kecik, mcm2 org pernah buat utk sara diri...
in fact, never use my dad's money utk bayar yuran sek since darjah 4...(dpt biasiswa..)
org pernah amek upah menjahit, mengecat rumah org len, keje psg khemah, jd tutor, pembantu caterer dan etc...
kdg2 rasa quiet sad sbb need to live a quiet tough life...
tp if compare dgn org len...(including en.hubby yg lebih adventurous hidupnye..), org rasa syukur and bertuah sgt2...
alhamdulillah.....


ha3...such a lame story...
nak tulis banyak lagi...tp malu plak citer personal life lebey2...
takut my fren nih getting boring...!!
tapi...terima kasih kepada yg membaca...
Luv u Oll....keep Reading & Supporting....!!
Whether Silently or Apparently....
XoXo..

POST 74: UpDaTe: DIY ReCepTioN Veil..

Dearie All,
The DIY reception veil is complete at current stage...
tunggu baju siap...then if necessary...need to alter a lil bit to complement my baju..


so, utk halwa mata...this is the updated veil pic...
hasil tangan amatur...(tak senonoh sket jahitan die dr belah belakang.....kih3)

tadaaaaa...........!!!!! alhamdulillah sudah siap....

my lil bro as model....upah jadi model veil...50 sen...kih3

My baju kaler pink honeysuckle terang...so, sengaja bagi beads kaler sepadan baju...
netting kaler soft pink...begitu juga tudung...
takleh pakai tudung kaler sepadan baju..i look odd wearing bright colour of tudung...
i'm not wearing any head accessories for this veil...want to look simple...
but hope the veil complement my baju well....


for readers, kalo nak veil sedondon baju....
yg paling senang...kalo u oll tempah baju sendiri and if ade lebih kain tuu...
amek lebihan kain baju tu....and tampal pada net....
and hasilnye....boleh jadi cani...tak perlu buat beading if kain baju u oll tu mmg da siap beads...
senang kan??? kih3...

POST 73: Eco-FriEnDly And NatuRe LoviNg WeDs

Dearie Readers,


I always desire for eco-friendly, nature loving kind of wedding...
and since today is earth hour day, 26th March 2011....
gals....show ur support..
by switching off ur light at 8.30 to 9.30 p.m ok...
with the tagline "this earth hour, go beyond the hour"
i want to go beyond by creating an eco-friendly weds..
since wed event usually waste a lot of natural resources and also..money!!!

so...ape yg org boleh buat untuk capai matlamat tersebut..??


1) Less Plastics!! Used Recycled Paper...
so, if wedding stuffs involved papers like cards, i'll make sure i'm using recycled ones..
or with ISO 14000...kih3..
i'll also consider online invitation like cyber wedding cards, e-mail, facebook etc...
i'll also replaced plastic bags with kraft bag...
and sure- no plastic make-up....!!! don't want anything fake-lashes, lens etc..



2) Use less electricity...and outdoor weds..
I'm not using hall or dewan for my weds...it'll be either my home compound or FRIM..an outdoor weds of coz..
Night reception, i'll be using more candles...i'm not using any P.A system since there'll be no karoke/kugiran/any weds song...
it means less noise pollution too...kih3



3) Reduce, Reuse, Recycle..
I'll give favors that are reusable-candy jar & cactus..re-use back my dulang hantaran,
i've made bouquet from old brooch, reduce my wed cost...
conserve natural resources (fuel, time, energy) by using local vendors or online..
but still thinking what can be recycle??? kih3...



4) Aim to delight rather than impress
Rather than impressing guests with full-bloomed all fresh flowers, four-foot-tall dais, mercedes benz for wed car,
Instead, i'll focus on my guests’ comfort and enjoyment. 
Thus, i'm sure in this era of over-the-top weddings, this approach will make my wedding one to remember....kih3...

5) I'll choose wedding rings from recyclable golds..
I used to hear about this kind of ring...To mine new gold, it'll damaged local environment...thus, i'll search for rings that made from recyclabe golds...
hmm..where can i find this kind of ring..need to do more research la..





so, hope my dream towards a blessful eco-friendly wedding can be achieved...(^_^)

POST 72: DIY PaTcH FabRiC RosEs

Dearie Readers,

Inginkan kelainan pada dress atau veil anda???
Try patching fabric roses on ur dress or veil....

dress sketch - with patch flowers

patch kat baju-bahu cani pon cantek...

so, cane nak wat DIY fabric roses ni..

Material
1) Benang
2) Fabrik

Fabrik berlainan memberikan keunikan bunga yang tertentu...
chiffon looks softer and sweet, satin looks rich and style-depends on u oll la nak pakai fabrik ape..
utk tutorial ni org pakai chiffon

Tutorial
1) Potong fabrik segiempat tempat. lipat dua fabrik tersebut. lipat segitiga pada satu hujung...
kemaskan tepi kain dgn bakar sket tepi kain pakai lilin ...
utk tutorial ni org malas buat tu jadi berbulu tepi tuh...kih3

2) lipat ke dalam lagi segitiga sebut camnih

3) lipat hujung satu lagi bentuk segitiga camnih...gulung fabrik, then lipat segitiga lagi...
ala...mcm buat bunga ros straw tu...ingat tak?? hehe...

4) Teruskan langkah 3 sampai kain habis. kemaskan hujung. ikat fabrik dengan benang. boleh letak pearl beads jika mahu. then, boleh patch pada veil or baju....orang sudah try and hasilnye sgt cantek and sweet..kih3

Fabrik rose ni gak boleh di buat corsage yg sgt cantek....penanggah pon boleh pakai..hehe

POST 71: DIY RecEptIoN VEiL

Salam Readers,


Remember yesterday i promised to update about my bertandang veil..
60% completed...not finished with the beading yet...
ini hasilnye...

teaser: bertandang veil

so, for the tutorial..


Bahan:
1) 1 meter kain net
2) 1/2 meter kain lace
3) Beads kesukaan (kat sini org gune pearl beads)
4) Benang dan jarum halus
5) Gunting


Tutorial
1) Potong kain net pd garisan putus2. A ialah panjang veil. org beli 1m sahaja (separas lutut)
kalo nak veil yg panjang boleh beli 1 3/4 m ke 2m kain net...bhg tigasegi tu bhg kepala..
panjang bhg tu ikut bidang kain je..kalo net bidang 60"..chiffon 45"..

2) Potong lace mengikut corak. Tips: beli lace dgn corak bunga berjalur-senang tampal...
corak bunga tabur pon ok...tp kna rajin& perlukan lebih kreatif sket utk menampal..kih3

Ni lace yg org beli. beli 1/2 meter da cukup. price dlm RM20.



potong veil..ikut corak mana yg korang nak amek...

3) Tampal lace pada net. Bukan tampal ok..jahit jelujur or silang pangkah halus. Boleh tampal pada bahagian tepi keliling net...atau pada bahagian bertanda tiga segi seperti lakaran atau mana2 la korang suke...hek3..

4) Then, jahit beads mengikut kesukaan..




60% siap..

 Tips Lain:
1) Utk nampak vintage and classic, boleh try border lace...tp harga lebey mahal...
2) Cost summary, net RM48, lace RM20, beads around RM10..overall RM78
3) Cari kain net yg betul2 lembut and flowy...pastikan sendiri k..jgn tertipu ngan sales girl die..keh3
4) utk veil chiffon perlukan lebih kemasan pada bahagian tampalan...(cover jahitan dgn manik la..)
5) Utk veil yg lebey pendek boleh beli net dlm 3/4 m atau chiffon, 1.25m..
6) Patikan corak veil including beads complement ur dress, tudung and accessories,tiara etc..
7) Utk veil dgn accessories dan tudung yg already heavy, wear a more simple veil..
