The Engagement : The Dais DIY

its around 3 weeks to go

but papa dah nak build up the dais

and so last weekend

papa, zhaf and yaya build up the frame of the dais

basically papa used iron rods, joined it, skrewed it together and make it as a frame.

the tricky part is to ensure it to be perfectly straight 90degrees at each corner.

berapa kali bukak sini skrew balik. bukak sana, skrew balik.

but in the end..

perfect angle !

and just look at this 2 engineers working hard ensuring the angles are perfect

yaya the little sister is very handy when it comes to screwdrivers, players and whatever mac gyver's tools

and Me?

i just know NUTS!

hahhahhaha~

now done with the frame

and then there comes the mommy with her handy hand

decorating it.

the backdrop drape is up !

this weekend papa will be going over to Meru with mama

to get the platforms.

papa called the manufacturer

and he said. 

he'l give it for fweeeeeeee !!!

alhamdulillah~

heeee~

once the platform is here,

the 2nd drape will be up

and then the rest as well.

ta sabar nak main deco deco !

=)

oh and see whos mem-busy body as well.

'aunty tya wat pe ni ? tok chu wat ape ?'

 'hannah nak tenok aunty tya tawen tu' (which means die nak tgk hantaran)

last2...

'hannah nak shushu'

and kami sumbat die dgn susu..

habis cerita.. hehhee

Love, Tya

The Engagement Dais - Dreamy Dais

after such a long journey. im back in KL.

and today. setelah 6 hr cuti. maka bekerjalah harini.

dem! 

harini bersedialah untuk melihat muke ku yang macam dhabit's poopoo and korang akan rase mcm nak tampar laju2..

hari ni masok kol 3pm and habis kol 12am.

tgah pkir lagi nak balik damansara ke or semenyih.

ok.

some may say after seeing the costing of the engagement dais tu.

mahal seh. same je kalo amek bridal package.

lets see.

this was my favourite dais.

it can be either for nikah or for engagement

its a greek style and its simple.
all are fresh flowers.

maybe nampak cam wow sbb ade 4 tiang tinggi tu

but its white, and pure.

so mcm simple je. 

but do u know how much does it cost?

1k.

mama papa said ok. 

but tetibe papa kate

would i spend 1k for it and at the end of the day all i have is just a pic of it?

nope.

nnt time nikah nak spend another 1k lagi for another dais.

so instead, might as well we spend perhaps 1k for our DIY dais
buying a sofa, a carpet, spotlights so on and so forth

but at the end of the day. it would be ours.

sofa tu nanti bole letak kat umah baru

carpet plak letak kat bilik baru. 

eceh! *berangan*

plus nanti spotlight, platforms sme bole pakai balik for nikah dais
or maybe untuk majlis tunang/nikah adik2 tya nnt.

meaning to say:
papa lah our handyman for kami adik beradik punye majlis tunang and nikah nanti?

insyallah, selagi papa masih sihat.
amin..

anyway,
ade bridal2 kat area kajang and semenyih ni which cost perhaps a bit cheaper than this dais.

but zhaf ta berkenan. 

(padahal yg dok atas pelamin tu ..aku..!)

*facepunch*

and infact ade jgk yg dlm package.

for instance, like dais+makeup+whatever whatever all around for RM1500. 

but since my engagement bulan January

and they say the package price for 2012 will only be out middle or end of december

mana sempat nak booking segala

nnt by the time nak booking. tarikh dah fully book

*hampa*

so instead when we ask for quotation sme bgtau harga dais. which cost 1k-1.5k

so eventually.. we would spend for our engagement dais.

that we can use back for our nikah dais

but instead we make a difference with the theme and the deco nanti

maybe i dint get my so-call 'dream' dais for my engagement

but hey

to me. its more worth it.

worth my money for it. 

hehe..

Love,Tya

The Engagement Dais

This would be the first post about my E-day preparation.

as you see its another approx 6 weeks to go.

So let see hows the preparation going on.

First thing first.

The Engagement Dais.

Its DIY. i design it. Papa made it. Mama Decorate it. oh yes !

Zhaf promised will help papa around with the construction during weekends.

Saya hanya akan membantu jikalau saya off. sekian. hehe!

So basically the initial design was :

This design was created at first as we wanted to buy this sofa with the 2 stand lamps which match. It was made of totally rattan.

But then papa said, 'Rattan ni ade holes byk kak, nampak cantik but it would be troublesome for you to bersihkan, coz it got holes and spiders suka ni wat sarang die'.

betul jugak papa. huhuh

ingt nak beli sofa bulu2. but papa kate, 'beli mahal2 patu ta ble duduk2 sgt. sbb takot kotor. and plus susah nak jaga.'

papa betul lagi....sigh~

betol la org kate. parents knows best. ! huhuhu~

and so , we changed our mind and bought this :

lagipun nnt rumah baru senang nak fit in with deco.

next is papa already design rangka backdrop and the platform as well.

platform papa dah tunjuk kan but i didn't snap the pic plak.

its quite a tall backdrop there. but papa said it fits well with the height of the wall up to the ceiling.

i didnt say much about that. coz im not the expert.

Papa, my sis yaya and bro afiq will be working on this together. Biar the 3 engineers buat. saya duduk tepi dan lihat je.

let me and mama take over working with the decoration and making my engagement dais - PRETTY =)

eheheh!

Love, Tya
