Theme.

Very important part as it plays a big role in the outcome of the wedding. So, what shall it be? I'll try to make this as simple as possible though I think it'd be hard for me as I find talking/typing about my ideas for my wedding is actually loads of fun! *sorry to those who don't agree*

Anyway, an outdoor (beach/garden) wedding has always been my preference, luckily for me..sadal loves it too. So, here's the thing, after watching the movie; Lagenda Budak Setan (♥ the movie btw!)..precisely the big tree on a hill scene at Taman Pertanian UPM, Serdang (thank you sadal for the info) & OMG, I was instantly in love with the place & immediately asked sadal if he thinks there would be a possibility to have a reception there. He said we could ask, but people usually go there to take photos. Anyway, he was excited too about the venue & gave such a great idea! P-I-C-N-I-C. Great idea, right? So, i googled & found that it's actually quite popular. I found so many ideas & I was more & more excited!

And,..here comes the not so good news, as I talked it over again with him & my mom..discussing on the pros & cons..we became unsure on how this idea will fit in with certain people (you know lah, the eldery, custom & all). So, my mom said that maybe I could do it on top of the actual ceremony, with only certain family members & friends who would enjoy the idea..basically, a picnic & some fun activities with them.

Then, I came out with the idea of half & half, half seated & half picnic style, food will also be like that. Ideas flowing (my imagination never stops & I have a hard time making the simplest of decisions)..but I still don’t know what to do about this..pfftt... =(

Anyway, I have this whole idea of having the guests sit on the ground, like you would at a picnic, have picnic food & decorate the place with balloons/lanterns (hanged on the big tree/s), everyone would be relaxed & having fun, kids will get to run around & blow bubbles & have a photobooth..have an ice cream vendor...doesn’t this just scream, FUN? Don’t you just want to let the kid in you out indulge in the fun & enjoy?!!

OMG, I can actually talk for hours & explain my ideas but maybe I better make my own inspiration photo..it’ll be  easier, or else, this might be a very long post. I don’t want to bore any of you with too many details.

Okay, apart from that, a garden wedding is supposed to be fun & bright, right? So the colour theme would have to be bright & cute colours! Okay, I have yet to decide on anything & maybe I better make an inspiration photo for this too.

So, how do you like the ideas so far?

I totally ♥ it!!!! I really hope we can pull it off.

*Isn’t it fun when you get all excited, tickled & smiling so wide just by thinking/talking about your wedding? I’m pretty sure I’ll miss all this once it all comes to an end. I would have to start talking about other stuff then. Hehe. *

Oh boy, let’s just stop typing already..

Hope you guys enjoyed this post & maybe are inspired by it too.  =)

Venue.

The venue needs to be further discussed as there might be 1/2 venues.

Criteria :

▪ Outdoor/garden setting.

▪ Within/near Putrajaya.

▪ Ample parking spaces & close by.

▪ Adequate bathroom facilities.

▪ Has access to electricity.

▪ An area that won't get muddy/flood if it rains.

▪ Easily identifiable for those not familiar with the area.

▪ Can fit approx 500 pax at a time. 


Possible venues :

▪ Taman Pertanian UPM, Serdang.

▪ Putrajaya Lake Club, Preinct 8, Putrajaya.

▪ Botanical Park, Precinct 1, Putrajaya

▪ Agriculture Heritage Park, Precinct 16, Putrajaya.

Anyway, we've decided that our nikah will be at the beautiful Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin (Masjid Besi), Precinct 3, Putrajaya.

Walimah will be either at the masjid's hall/surrounding area (kiblat walk, please) or an outdoor venue somewhere else or some hall in putrajaya (am not loving this option).

So, we'll need to settle this part immediately along with the date & time.

That's all..will update soon.

Dates & time for nikah & walimah.

The date & time are yet to be determined. What has been discusses last time by both our parents was that it might be in March, 2011. So, based on that, I have about 6 months..but since we might/might not push it back & I don’t want to freak out & realize I don’t have enough time to plan & all, I am putting my ideas in this blog & hopefully, have the job easier to manage.

So, anyway...nikah & walimah will either be on the same day, same place/same day, different place (this is a bit troublesome as we might need to think of transporting the guests)/different days & place.

It will either be nikah (either morning/evening) & a short walimah right after (same/different place). Invite everyone, they can choose to be present for the nikah/not.

-or-

Nikah will be done the night before & walimah the next day. I might invite people for walimah only & nikah will be attended by immediate families only.

Should be determined as soon as the venue is confirmed or at least 4 months prior (info for invites).

Anyway...here are the dates that I'm considering (based on the fact that his birthday-04/02/1985 & mine-01/12/1985 is 300 days apart & my birthday & his 1^st birthday is 65 days apart) :

02/01/2011 (32/65 days)

03/01/2011 (33/65 days)

04/07/2011 (half/300 days)

Other dates (just because they're pretty) :

01/01/2011 ▪ 11/01/2011 ▪ 12/01/2011 ▪ 20/01/2011
02/02/2011 ▪ 11/02/2011
03/03/2011 ▪ 11/03/2011
04/04/2011 ▪ 11/04/2011
05/05/2011 ▪ 11/05/2011
06/06/2011 ▪ 11/06/2011
07/07/2011 ▪ 11/07/2011
08/08/2011 ▪ 11/08/2011
09/09/2011 ▪ 11/09/2011
09/10/2011 ▪ 10/10/2011 ▪ 11/10/2011 ▪ 20/10/2011
10/11/2011 ▪ 11/11/2011 ▪ 20/11/2011
11/12/2011 ▪ 12/12/2011 ▪ 20/12/2011

*will need to check what day they are..*

 

Okay, that's all..ttfn.
