Solemnization attire

Hi dearies,

I was on pure boredom just now and stumbled upon a few dresses that caught my attention when I went googling the ideas of design for my solemnization dress. This is my solemnization lace. The cloth material was given by him as part of our engagement gifts (hantaran). My future sis-in-law bought the material when she was at Bandung.

Now, the problem is to find the design for my solemnization dress. Kebaya, kurung modern or what? I guess it would be greater in making me look taller. Or maybe it looks like as simple as kurung modern? I’m still clueless, until now I can’t really decide how my solemnization dress should look like. The more survey I did, the more I can’t decide. *Sigh

While hunting a design for my solemnization, I saved up a few pictures of dress that caught my eye and I noticed about the pattern. Most of the “nikah” attire that I saved was all rather similar with kurung modern inspiration with flowy bottom like below:

I love so much the simplicity of the dress when I'm looking on Pengantin Magazine (June Edition).

Mostly, the bottom part (kain) is my favourite. And here are some pictures:

One thing that I'm sure of, I wanted kurung modern with zip for easy wearing, A-line pattern, a cheongsam collared and the cosry buttom with slim sleeves for my solemnization dress. Actually, I love the cosry buttons. And I think, I also wanted some beads for the buttom part (kain) because the material for the bottom part was a plain raw silk. Here are some of my favourite designs:

Yeah, at the moment I'm looking for a taylor or fashion designer for my solemnization attire. And, I basically do not know if my ideas as mentioned above work or not. I really need the superdiva bridezilla advise and also the bride-to-be advise at this time~ ❤

P dot S: HELP!!

Choosing your perfect wedding dress

Okay, I did a media scanning last April, but I totally forgot about it. I found an article from NST on how to choose the perfect dress for your wedding, and I wanna share it here with you guys too ;) Here are seven questions. 

Quote of the day

1. Picture yourself on the day
- how do you see yourself?
- do you have a set of idea of the look that you want to achieve?

As for myself, I'm thinking a golden yellow brown coloured for my solemnization dress, a white coloured wedding dress with a touch of dusty ivory for my reception, and silver white for groom's reception.

2. Know your body shape
- Choose a dress that flatters your shape.
- If you have a pear-shaped figure - wear A-line dress or ballgown shapes and avoid fish tail style skirts.

As for myself, I'm thinking of A-line but my body was not like a pear-shaped figure. Haha! Okay, mission on diet! >.<

3. Colour
- Find out what colour suits your skin tone

As for myself, I think all the colours will suit with my skin tone but definitely not the rainbow colours. Lulz. Most importantly, it shall be white because it will match for our wedding theme!

4. Dress for the right event

Of course, for the wedding day, right!

5. Set a budget
- Decide how much you want to spend, and look at the shop that fits your price range.

Ermm about the budget, still in progress. But not more than 3K? Hahaha. I wish! =.=" (Cheapskate okay!)

6. Look out for ideas
 

Start looking 9 months before the BIG day! (I will start some marathon ideas on June)

7. Think about the fabrics

As for myself, I'm thinking of solstis french lace but I don't mind for any fabrics. As long as I love the fabrics, it's not biggie.

That's all. See you later guys~ ❤

P dot S: Eeeeeeeeiiii, I've missed my fiance! Grrrrr~! >.< Today is our 5 years and 2 months anniversary ❤
