The Search of Wedding Shoes

First of all, I want to thank Mya from 4weddingku for writing a nice review and featuring my humble blog on her website for the Blog Review slot in June. I didn't realize this if not for fellow blogger friend Zara, who was kind enough to tell me. Now go give these ladies a big hug! Hehe.

Now, back to the story.

I was totally inspired from Huda's post regarding custom made wedding shoes at Gavy. Upon reading her entry, I immediately went to its outlet in Maju Junction the next day, armed with 2 copies of my dream wedding shoes for reference. I dragged Johan along, because we'll be running errands the whole day and our first pit-stop was Gavy.

I didn't prepare much when I was there. I didn't call the guy who're we supposed to be dealing with beforehand and there were just a couple of SA at that time. I showed the girls the printed copy of the shoes that I'd like to have, the choice of color and material. Of course, they can make my dream shoes a reality and I was browsing their catalog for the material but none captured my eyes. I wanted red satin but they only have some kind of shiny PVC or glittery thingy material which is a NO-NO!  Then they told me that I can bring my own material if I don't like those that they have in store.

Now, here comes my favourite part which I was dying to tell you, the price. They quoted me RM160 for the workmanship only! Ok, expensive. Belum tambah lagi my own material, those big brooch for blings and stuff, the cost of it might be amounted to almost RM200. So not worth it. Johan even said it's expensive. Ditambah lagi dengan penat, minyak and everything, so I guess I just forgo the idea.

Dengan perasaan hampa, we went to Pavillion and I finally found a cheap red heels at Vincci+ for my wedding. It's only RM127. Haha. You know, anything cheap and pretty always brighten up my day. Theehee!

I love the huge diamante brooch and the material. It's red hot suede baby! Sangat smooth, ok. Geram! Geram! And it adds inches to my height. Yeay-ness. Johan doesn't like the idea of having peep-toe heels for wedding sebab nampak jari kaki, tak cantik. But I was too in love with this baby to let it go, after my unfortunate event at Gavy. Cewahhh!

Owh yeah, have I mentioned that I bought my nikah shoes almost a year ago? Yeah, too early, I know, but I can't help it. I'm not a fan of pointed heels but since it's for nikah, I want it to be proper and covered. It's from Elo in Subang Parade, priced at RM129 (no discount, damn!). Owh, I love the fact that the color compliments my jubah too.

Okay, the color and everything look fugly in the pictures but in real life, it's pretty! Now I have scattered diamonds on my shoes and jubah. Wheeeee!

Ivory Birdcage Veil

I did write an entry or two about birdcage veil as a replacement of wedding veil in my blog. As mentioned before, I contacted  Dramatic Bombshell regarding my dream wedding birdcage veil. We exchanged e-mails and I told her how much my budget is and which design that I'd like to have by sending her some example pictures. She's good, I mean she did listen to you and try to meet your requirements as best as she could be.

At first, she had trouble to find nets that suits the look that I want (oh, memang demand saya ini!). But she came up with something similar to the net that I wished for. And the best part of it is it's within my budget. It's very reasonable I think. *happy*

Oh, the net is something similar like the picture below, and I told her I want the birdcage veil to be the same, exactly like it (or almost would do too!) I wanted some feathers in it, big flower with pearls and most importantly, it must be in ivory. Haha. I hope it turns out pretty.

I already have my wedding veil. I'm contemplating whether to wear long veil or birdcage veil for my reception. Tetiba terfikir macam susah je kalau nak makan beradap nanti bila pakai birdcage veil. Atau rimas tahap melampau sebab ade benda cover muka. Begitukah? Haih.

Another Red Heels Post!

Okay. Saya tahu. Sila muntah. Online shoes obsession lagi. I can't resist. It RM200 plus shipping. Ini lagi cantik! Uhuhuhu...

Red Wedding Shoes

Remember my wish to buy the red diamonte peep-toe heels at Charles & Keith for my reception? I went to Pavilion last week to buy them. Can you believe that they don't have size 7 in stock? Arghhhh! And yesterday I went to their outlet in Pyramid. Again, same story. No size 7 in red but they have others in black and champagne. I just lost hope and never want to search again even in their MidValley or OU outlet.

As good as it can be, I resorted to online shopping. I now specifically want platform-type heels, so I don't have a bad backache after hours of standing, walking and running in heels.

A gem found on Ebay. Just what I've been looking for! Priced at RM175 including shipping.

Birdcage Veil & Heels

We went to Pavilion yesterday in search of peep-toe heels for my reception event. I was influenced by Ami. Yes. Pointed kitten heels are so common. But since I've bought one already, let's not waste it. I'm gonna use it for my nikah then. Nikah pun ala-ala sopan, so I guess it'll be just alright for that ceremony. It matches my jubah as well, so no harm done. :)

Johan says it would be fun for me to wear heels that matches our reception theme. Certainly no black. So we opted for red then. I've thought about wearing colored heels for my wedding awhile back but I need a thumbs-up from Johan. Since he approved it, we went over to Charles & Keith searching for red peep-toe heels. I found one like in the picture in red. It's pretty and makes my feet look slimmer. Wheeeee! Priced at RM199, I'm gonna buy it soon since I have so many things pending this month.

On the other hand, I persuaded Johan to let me wear birdcage veil for the reception. I ni degil. Selagi tak dapat, selagi tu mintak. And finally he gave in sebab malas nak layan his bridezilla ni kut. Hehehe. So I contacted Dramatic Bombshell whether she can custom-made my birdcage veil. Let's wait for the reply and quotation then I'll share with you ladies.

All-time favourite! Hope she can meet my requirements and budget.

Tiaras

Yesterday we went out to scout the potential halls for our wedding reception. I am very delighted to see the Putrajaya halls. Sayang please...mahu dewan yang itu boleh kah?

Anyways, today's topic is about tiara, crown, whatever you want to call 'em. I'm not a fan of tiaras. I've always thought of wearing birdcage veil instead of the normal long veil with crown on top. But seeing that long veil would make a good prop for photography and it would be too dull without any headpiece, so tiara would be a good option to complete the look.

I browsed on Ebay this whole day and thought of getting a tiara online. Many wouldn't agree with me because I have this fetish for buying wedding stuffs online. In fact, I just bought an akad nikah veil thru Ebay last 2 days. Can't wait for it to arrive. Shall post pictures of it once I get my hands on it.

There are a few options of tiara which have been shortlisted by me. Cewah! I really cannot decide. So again, I shall need help from Johan to choose. Hehehehe..

My personal favourite would be the last picture. It looks kinda Statue of Liberty punya crown. Hahaha! These are priced at $11 including shipping. Uber cheap, right? I know there are cheaper options out there in Jln TAR, but I just love the comfort of shopping online.
