Yey! Punya vendor dekor juga akhirnya *grin*

Setelah mengalami kesibukan melelahkan beberapa minggu di sekolah menjelang ujian akhir, akhirnya tiba juga hari ini! Anak-anak sudah ujian, artinya ak cm perlu koreksi, isi rapot kemudian libur term deh seminggu. 2 weeks to go! ^^ 
Jadi hari ini bisa sedikit update blog lg and kepoin blog-blog lain jg. hehehe. 

Oke, seperti judul postnya, jadi ak mau bicarain soal dekor. Puas banget dah uda dapat yang oke kali ini. Mentally satisfied! Buat yang ga tau or baru baca post ini, fyi aja ini adalah vendor dekor ketiga ak  >.<  Vendor-vendor awal ada kubahas di post2 sebelumnya sih. Tapi pertanyaannya adalah kenapa sampe sebanyak itu gantinya???*sigh* 
Bukan bermaksud ngerempongin diri sih tapi penggantian dekor vendorku dibutuhkan. Let me explain it from the beginning. Bakalan agak panjang nih. Begini nih kira-kira timelinenya:

Januari 2015
Kita deal dengan pihak hotel beserta beberapa vendor rekanannya untuk memudahkan saja. Kemudian kita dibuatkan schedule untuk bertemu beberapa vendor dari dekor, entertainment dan WO. Nah, pada waktu itu Vendor dekor 1 (selanjutnya disebut VD1) yang datang memberikan presentasi yang menarik, karena Mr. A dan ak tipenya males ribet2 jadi kita langsung okay dengan VD1 itu. Beberapa minggu kemudian VD1 mengirimakan layout dekor untuk hari H kita dan hasilnya bagus! Ak sih suka sekali karena warnanya sangat menarik. Tapi yang menjadi kekhawatiran ak wkt tu adalah perbedaan warna yg direquest dengan hasil designnya, takut ga nyambung gt. 

Maret 2015
Bulan ini kita mendatangi wedding expo yang diadakan oleh pihak hotel dan sekalian kita mau mengkonfirmasi vendor entetatinment dan WO juga berbicara dengan pihak VD1 ini. Setelah deal dengan entertainment and WO, kita melakukan meeting pertama dengan WO. Saat WO ku tahu perihal vendor dekor yang kita pilih, dia sudah kasih first warning mengenani taste owner dr VD1 ini. Owner VD1 adalah orang konstruksi bukan design, biasanya dia failed merealisasikan hasil gambarnya tapi diakui untuk konstruksi yang terbuat dr styrofoamnya dia bagus. Pada waktu itu Mr. A dan ak sih sedikit "errrr". Jadinya stlh itu aku made appointment ke VD 1 n minta ketemu buat bahas detail-detail, make sure dll. 

April-Agustus 2015
Dalam periode ini, kita uda ketemu 2 kali dengan pihak VD1 untuk benar-benar memastikan soal hasil dekor dia. Bahkan ak blak-blakan bilang soal gosip-gosip yang ak dengar. Pada saat itu, VD1 terus berusaha meyakinkan bahkan kita minta apa dikasih, contoh ak pengen beda hand bouquet siang dan malam pun dikasih free komplen dari dia. Bahkan VD1 langsung minta ak kontek Mbak Atrina untuk bahas soal bunga. Dalam periode inipun Mr. A uda transfer DP sebesar 10jt ke pihak VD1. Dan Mr. A dan ak juga sempet melihat hasil dekorasinya untuk pengantin lain pada bulan Juli itu waktu kita sedang menyempatkan urus detail dengan hotel dan WO.  Kita pun dapat info dari WO bahwa bbrp klien dy yang pakai jasa VD1 banyak yang mendadak pindah. Alasannya simple, karena ga meyakinkan. Kliennya itu bingung kenapa tidak ada penambahan biaya sama sekali. FYI, budget dekor dr hotel itu 45jt dan pihak VD1 tidak memberikan penambahan sedikitpun untuk setiap requestku, termsk penambahan bunga, fruit fountain, fresh flower, flower crown dan juga warna kain untuk tiffany blue (which is dia ga punya pada wkt itu). 
Tapi....kita msh positif nih walau sudah melihat hasilnya dan memang kurang puas. Kita mikirnya ini emang beda dari paketnya kita. Bahkan rencana kita waktu itu habis lebaran akhir bulan akan melunasi pembayaran dekornya.

September 2015
The drama begin...>.<  My fmil mendapat ajakan kepesta wedding temannya punya saudara di Hotel Menara Peninsula di minggu dan kebetulan vendor dekor yang dipilih pengantinnya adalah VD1 dan WO nya juga sama. Sepulang dari sana, my fmil a lil freak out about the decor yang menurutnya parah! Terlalu looks cheap (tapi again saat itu juga emang dekornya beda paket nya dr harga kita). Tapi my fmil merasa too risky to trust. Bahkan WO ku juga menyampaikan keluhannya my fmil ke ak via WA. So, dengan cepat ak merespon dan berdiskusi dengan Mr. A soal hal ini. Mr. A minta ak menghubungi pihak hotel dan berdiskusi untuk pembatalan. Akhirnya setelah sungkan sana sini, ga enak juga ma VD1 tapi kita harus membatalkan daripada kecewa hari H. Kitapun masih harus membayar charge untuk cancelation fee. Ak lupa berapa persen tapi waktu itu Mr. A masih harus mentransfer sebesar 1 jt sekian. 
Nah, dengan kondisi h-2 months n no vendor dekor, ak lumayan kelabakan. WO ku menyarakan vendor kedua (selanjutnya disebut VD2). VD2 jg ada kusebut di post sebelumnya. 
Dalam waktu 1 minggu dari pembatalan, kita meeting pertama dengan pihak VD2. Kesannya: serem ownernya! Mgkn krn dy uda berumur aka om2. Kesannya tuh orangnya sulit diapporach dan yang ada kita sungkan mo ngomong ma dy. Kita mau request sesuatu tapi yang ada mental or dy menyarankan yang lain. Tapi WO ku meyakinkan kalau taste dan hasil dekor orang ini bagus. Memang kalau lihat foto IG nya sih bagus dan VD2 ini juga merupakan favorit dari pihak hotel karena hasilnya yang bagus. Kemudian yang lucu adalah ownernya hanya memberikan sketsa gambar tangan. bener-bener hanya coretan. Dy mendesign dan menuliskan semua request kita. Waktu itu dengan extra HB malam, dekor pelaminan dengan two maple trees, fruit fountain (hanya org yang mendekor buah saja), karpet rumput kita mendapat penambahan biaya sekitar 20 jt. Doeng.. I shocked. Tu pohon mahal ajeeee. Trz my fmil stlh trauma dengan hasil yang VD1, dy mau melihat hasil dekor VD2 di hotel dulu sebelum confirm. Tapi memang hasil dekor memuaskan banget! Tapi, my fmil merasa karpet rumput dan maple tree nya sudah tidak diperlukan dengan gaya dekor VD2 ini, karena VD2 menggunakan fresh flower disetiap sudutnya. Nah, ak akhirnya menghubungi owner VD2 (always deg2an dah mo contact si om) untuk confirm. Tapi ternyata dy WA ak dan bilang harus ke Aussie buat bantu dekor ponakannya so he couldn't help us here. *haiyaaaaa*

Dengan insiden Mr. A dan juga kesulitan dia keluar rumah, kali ini ak pasrahin ke pihak hotel n WO dah buat ksh saran vendor baru. uda give up buat cari-cari lagi. WO sebenarnya mo menyarankan vendor dr luar tapi ternyataaaa vendor yang Wo ku mau nyaranin, masuk dalam rekanan hotel dan kebetulaaaan di recommend sama pihak hotel. Nama vendor ketiga kali ini adalah Fleur De Lis dekor. Namanya bagus yak. Kebetulan ownernya ex client WO ku dan di suggest jg sama WO ku ke pihak hotel. So, kita adalah klien pertama dy dari pihak hotel ini ^^.
Kamis minggu lalu, kita ketemu di rumah Mr. A. Ownernya masih muda, ga beda lah dari WO jadi enak kita ngobrolnya. Setelah discuss detail this and that penambahannya sama dengan yang diberikan oleh VD2 tapiiiiii yang kita dapat much MORE dari VD2. Kira-kira yang kita dapat:
  • Temanya elegant garden (lime green and tiffany blue)
  • Warna bunganya pastel
  • Dekor VIP dengan kursi putih touch tiffany blue, dekor meja bulat
  • Dekor pelaminan dengan backdrop ukiran, daun2 asli, bunga menjulur
  • Dekor teapai room dirumah dan hotel
  • HB malam, pagi
  • Center stage (pengganti photobooth)/ floor dance dgn 2 pohon dan lantai yang diberi print inisial
  • Mini garden
  • White rose petal carpet
  • Dekorasi gallery, foyer, dll. 

Soooo, ak puas sekali dan memang hasilnya bagus. Ini contoh dekor yang ak suka. Tema rustic untuk klien dia seblmnya. 

ak suka dgn touch succulentnya! IG: fleurdelisdekor



Ada juga yang ak nambahin sendiri untuk hashtag board yang akan ditaro di dekat foto galeri. Suka banget dengan hasilnya. ^^

Adapun ak cari box set untuk alkitab, rosario, salib yang biasa diberikan saat pemberkaan. Ak mencari box yang kupikir masih bisa dipakai nantinya. Ini masih dalam proses pemesanan. Ak mesen warna offwhite dan masih 12 hari lagi baru jadi. 

Ini contoh box untuk holy matrimony. IG :fold.packaging
Setelah sebagian besar urusan dekor beres, sekarang sisa fokus keperihal prosesi masuk. Masih galau dengan sewa dancer or ga. Tapi....glad I have reduced a lot from my lists!

The perfect ring bearer (in search)


Yeah.. kinda obsessed with finding the right ring bearer lately. One of my weakness is that I don't really like an ordinary type of things around me. So, when my fmil told us to spent time to look for the ring bearer, it was just when I realize I don't want the ordinary one. Maybe, for most people will think that ring bearer is the least thing to be prepared in detail but I just want it to be something nice and pretty and unique. 

So, I started to hunt it online of course. First, I checked on Pinterest and found some that I like the most.

Oh, I love this ring bearer very much. I love books a lot like I have ever posted before so I just fall in love with this ring bearer.

This one also my type because recently I am also so in to handmade terrariums, I found this just so cute. However, it won't match my holy matrimony theme and as it is not an outdoor wedding, so this would be just not fit it. On the other hand, I think I would find problem in finding the glass box..

If Mr. A had to choose, he prefer this one actually. But as the bride, I still hopeful for the book type ^^. This is my last option actually. 


















Okay, I have found the type I want so it's time to hunt the maker. I googled with a lot of key words and always ended up with no where. I tried instagraming also but still it didn't suit my taste. It is not a popular items to be prepared I think in Indonesia. It was really hard to find one that is really good until one day I found the right key word and it came out on the search engine. It is  @signatureweddingdetails . I just right away fall in love with their work. I think, they are more on headpiece but their custom ring bearer just meets my expectation. So, I emailed them and got the response by far. However, they have to try first since they never made book type before. I said I would like to wait for them. If they can make it, I will just go with that but if not (let's say won't suit my budget) I will just choose our last option. I know what to do with the boxes already actually. So, now, I just have to wait patiently until June. ;)

PreWedding- It's a wrap!

Yes, it's a wrap! Glad we've come out to this already.
It was on April 29,2015 night that we flew to Bali. We had to take off days from our work place for this moment. The next morning, I have to choose the wedding gowns there. But I decided that I dun want to wear a wedding gown for our prewed pictures. The reason is only one I want to be a one day bride only. ^^ That day, we had to choose which album that we want and the size for the canvas later on. The PhotoFactoryBali has several types of albums. You can see it here. We chose white  E-Series Albums type. However, we just knew that we will get 2 albums (grey and white) when we got to choose the photos. However, we can't decide the canvas size yet because we are still confuse what to do with that after the wedding day *grin*
The fun fact is we get this all for free because it is belong to Mr. A sis and bro in law' We are grateful for this. Really are........

Okay, the following day was our photo shoot time. Our venue is Pura Ulun Danu, Kebun Raya Bedugul and Pantai Batu Bolong. It was my request to have a greenery view, a Pura and beach view. Our concept is just casual and natural. So our pictures mostly look away from camera. 
From Pura Ulun Danu, we almost changed direction to Tanah Lot because of the weather. We were chased by the dark cloud. Luckily, we still able to shoot as the schedule, thanks to the photographer instinct and our good karma still bless us ^^.  It was a wonderful day! Both of us hardly get a good pictures usually and for Mr. A takes picture always needs permission. But that day, we took 500+ pictures and all smiles. We got to get bored looking at each other all day n running out of topic to discuss to get the natural pose. *LOL* Here are some of the pictures.



We got the raw files the next day and be able to choose 50 pictures for the albums in the evening. Because photofactorybali is an international based photography, they are used to finish everything fast. Actually, our albums can finish in two days however, we had to get back to Jakarta by Monday. We request to send our albums together with my wedding gown from there on August. So, I just can't wait!

Wedding ring? hmmmmmmmmm.......

"A wedding ring is the first link in the chain of family life"_ family quotes


illustration only

A wedding ring is one part of a marriage.  If I recall, Mr. A and I got our wedding ring first far before we knew our wedding date. Yes, it is. I just remembered. And...until today, I haven't seen our wedding ring................... ( >.<) 

How come?

Because we didn't buy it by ourselves. *grin*  It was last year when Mr. A sent me a kakao message to ask my ring size. Well, turned out that his parents aka. my fpiL (read: future parents in law) wanted to try to look for our wedding ring while they were travelling abroad. Just right before they went to airport, his mother asked him the detail. As I remembered, Mr. A asked for his mother ring to measure using his fingers and also asked me about the precise size. Last year Mr. A gave me a ring as my birthday gift, he never asked my size before..he just took the ring that I have wear for years and put it on his fingers to measure and I never measured it ever also until that day. 

So, to cut the story short, his parents bought the rings. According to Mr. A, the ring made of platinum and if the two rings put together, it will form the heart shape. he also mentioned the price and that's all I know. Nothing else. 
Wedding ring actually is a symbol of the marriage for us and not something that I know Mr. A will put on his finger all the time. We might put in on a necklace and wear it with us. I don't mind that we did not choose it by ourselves but I'm really curious with what it looks like!!!

Wedding Teaser

As i told one the other post that I'm 'finally' will get married this year, I am thinking to write about my preparations moments here. ^^
Let's start with the moment we finally talked about it. Actually, we have talked about it two years ago, but apparently, Mr. A wasn't really ready yet at that time and every time we discussed about it, we got into a fight. At first, I thought I was ready also, but then I got a cold feet as well. After that, I decided to not discuse it at all until he is ready to do it.
The time has come. But when he finally talked to his mom, we still have to wait some time to finally got to choose the date. Some time means months. Why we have to wait? well, it is because we need to count our birth dates to get a good day to be married.  
so, we just have less than a year since we got the date now. 

"Two souls but one single thought. Two hearts that beat as one." -John Keats

Got the date
