Becoming Mrs Melchior

It's been a month since my Wedding reception last month. Hehehehe...I am blessed to have such a wonderful family, who always supported me. Being a wife at this stage is easy, (I guess). I wanted to share my wedding pics in the blog, but I just don't have time to do it!

 

I will never forget those memorable moments in my entire life.  Here's some sweet moments I upload (the one that i will not share in FB or Twitter).

Wedding! Wedding!

Last Saturday, It has been a blessed and memorable moments for me n darl. 06.10.2012, this is the date that i will never forget for the rest of my life. I have never really thought of being someone's wife, but here I am, I recite the vow in front of our family members at Stella Maris Church. 

I cried after we exchange vows, after he put on the ring to my finger, after i turned around and saw the church was full with close friends and relatives. The happy tears run down my cheeks as I stood beside the man that I have just exchange my vows with. I have officially became Mrs Melchior from this day onwards. 

After light refreshments, we went back to my home before we checked into one of the Hotel in KK to celebrate our first night as Husband n Wife. On 07.10.2012, it was my reception at Dewan Tun Fuad, 1.00 Pm. What a tiring day!!!

Today 12.10.2012 is my 7th day being Mrs Melchior. Another reception tonight at Dewan Tun Fuad for Groom's reception. Hopefully everything will be smooth tonite! Thanks for your grace Lord!

I am the Queen of the day! Yay!! I'm Married1

My Dream Wedding Cake

Everyone has their "Dream Wedding"..So do I. Well, I never dreamt of having big wedding or any Wedding of the Year type. I just want a normal, simple but beautiful wedding.

Well, no matter how simple your dream is, at least you still have a dream, and the dream will be the aim for you to achieve.  So, I'm sharing this wedding cake that I always wanted for my wedding. Hhahaha...I always want a "Wedding Cake with Fountain and Light"!! The cake is simple but pretty!

 

Now, I'm still searching for the person who can make this kind of cake for me. And hopefully, I'll find one! Yay!!

Wedding Preparation- Part I

Last Sunday (1st day of Raya), I have asked two of my besties to come and help me out for my wedding preparation. Lots of card to be done because i need to get it all out by end of this month. Early of next month, is the week of distribution to all our guests. I'm also helping my fiance to make his invitation card for his side. SO, lots of work to be done. My wedding favor are still pending too. But i'll worry about that one after we are done with the invitation cards.

 

Thanks to all my fam members and friends who came and help that night. It's fun when you are doing it with the people you love!! I really love u all! Me, Jc and Sharon chatted all night with our hands keep moving trying our best to complete everything. We took a little break to have dinner together, (Thanks for preparing the wonderful dinner, MUM!). Well, you could say, this is also a hang out time for me, the way to spend time with my besties. And we end up staying up until 3.15 am!! That's our best record so far!

 

I am soo grateful to have you guys as my friends, and with that, you also become part of my family, the one that i will cherish for the rest of my life!!

My mum in the action!

Bali-Bali Garden

Last Thursday, the whole family in HR dept went to Bali-Bali Garden to have dinner (Sungkai) together. The place has a nice ambience, a modern concept of Home-based restaurant. I can see that the place is still under renovation and there are still some mess here and there. But overall, the place is cool even though the parking space SUCKS! That night we ordered Ikan Bakar Bumbu Bali. Well, I don't see any specialties in the food served since the service is quite slow and the taste is not that up to the standard. But since the place is just recently open and still new, i guess they can be given some credit on the Balinese environment they offered.

Sweetened By LOVE

The wedding is just around the corner. The clock always ticking as a reminder there are still lots of things to be done. The wedding card and wedding favors are still pending. I planned to settle everything before the end of this month. Oh noooo..I’m quite behind the schedule and this is totally not cool. Mum always push us (Thanx to her!!) to complete all the wedding cards and distribute it all by end of August.

Here are some the wedding favors that i have just completed last night:

The DIY Label says it all...

Its a simple way to show our gratitude!

For You, From Us, With Love!

Crafts, Ideas, and Inspirations

Since I get used to this DIY crafts, I have been addicted to all this DIY stuff. Ideas come and go, but thanks to my Pinterest, its very useful when it comes to keeping all the ideas of crafts. Now I always surf the Youtube to find new ideas on making new DIY. I intend to venture myself into making cute fabric toys later. Soooo Cutee!! But, it needs sewing skills which i never have. Damn..

Fabric flowers are cool too. Very pretty! I gave my friend a baby's headband as a gift for her baby girl. Here's are some of the DIY that i've completed.

Preparation for the Wedding

Since i planned to have a simple wedding, I try to keep things simple too! I try to stick to the ultimate principle, the simpler, the better! Another goal is always about minimizing the cost. I don't want to spend too much on unnecessary things, and regret it for being broke later. I am trying to save as much as possible so we will have extra RM$$ to spend during the honeymoon or any emergency cases later. You might never know what will happen in the future.

I have been start planning and try my best to execute the plan since early April. I have prepared my "Action Plan" and start executing the plan accordingly. In any cases like this, Cash has always been the key to execute any plans made. I don't know if people can see what i see, but I think i can save a lot by DIY. From wedding cards, wedding decor, and Door gifts and etc...I can save almost a thousand ringgit. A lot of research really works too! I can get many ideas from the internet. And some of them, u never expect it to be soo simple. Hehehe....

Less than 100 days to go before the actual day, I'm trying my best to prepare whatever is necessary. I know there will be hiccups along the way, but i just need to find a way to solve it. Even though Im dreaming of a simple wedding, but I want it to be memorable for the rest of my life!!!

DIY Wedding Invitation Card

Wedding Invitation Card is one of the most essential part of the wedding itself. Some people are willing to spent thousands Ringgit to ensure their wedding card looks nice and of course, expensive! Well, from my point of view, it doesn't necessary have to be very expensive as long as it fulfill its function. But, anyway, that always depend on the couples preferences too.

So, my sister suggested that we should start printing our own wedding invitation card. She's very excited showing me all her design that she could find. She also helps me a lot in completing all the designs and print it out. She's been very co-operative and committed in completing all the cards. I promise to return the favor during her wedding later. Without her, I would have spend few hundreds on cards printing ONLY.

When she showed me the first sample, and we showed it to our parents, they asked us to change some parts of the card. After the amendment, I think the outcome is sooo pretty. It's simple but pretty and all the info is there. So, as long as the message is there, I think it already fulfills it's function. Thank You Sis!! Another DIY for my Wedding and another few hundreds were saved!! Yayyy!!!



I just need to add some rebens and it is good to go!



Thank you Sis!!

MY DIY Pillow Ring

Last weekend, my DIY project is to make my own Pillow Ring. I wanted to make a simple but sweet pillow ring for my Wedding Ring.  The initial plan is, to use the real small pillow to make the pillow ring. But, when i get to the crafts shop, my head seems to change its plan. I bought 2 different size of heart shaped styrofoam. At that moment, i knew exactly what im gonna do with it.

• 2 heart shaped styrofoam (Different Sizes)
• Rebens
• Scissors and pliers
• Ring Box
• Flowers
• Satin and lots of pearl
• Glue Gun

These are the basic things you need !!!

 

Satin! Cream Color is nice!!

Steps in Making DIY Pillow Ring

1st Step: To wrap the styrofoam with the satin.

Use the glue gun to minimize any gather created during the wrapping process.

2nd Step: Cut a piece of felt cloth to cover the back of the styrofoam. This is to hide any unwanted excess satin.

3rd Step: Add the lace around the styrofoam to cover any unwanted ugliness!

4th Step: This is my favorite step, you get to glue anything on your pillow ring! I begin with my pink roses!

Add all the pearls!

Tadaaa!!! Here's my Pillow Ring!

Since i'm done with with my pillow ring, I can proceed with another DIY project. Yay!!!
