So many of my friends are getting married this year. And apparently I am unable to attend unless I'm willing to risk begging in the streets of London with all the other homeless people. Still, I do want to give em all my friends a little something, a nice wedding gift. But try as I might, I can't think of anything wedding-y that won't break in the mail and at the same time won't cost so much to post to Malaysia. Any ideas? Buntu. Buntu.
I love to see wedding pictures, right now I'm dying to see Fiena's who got married a couple of weeks ago.
Tapi kan skrg ni aku tengok semua gambar pengantin pakai kaler gold. Apsal lah semua org suka kaler ni? Dah jadi trend ek? Tak kisah la kan, citarasa masing2 lah kan, lagipun mmg cantek pon kaler gold, tp almost EVERY wedding akan bertemakan gold. Dah boring dah aku tgk kaler tu.
To those of you who are planning a wedding in the near future but haven't decided on a wedding gown, cari lah kaler lain. And just another tip (though nobody asked), klu nak cantek and menyerlah, biar kaler baju pengantin warna lain atau contra sikit dr warna tema wedding. Jangan la contra sangat macam purple n oren, x cantek la plak.
Kalau nak buat majlis belah malam, try a dark colour with lots of glitter. Try midnight blue + silver, or black + gold (I did red + black + gold) Cun siot (bukan aku yg cun, dark kalers tu lah)! Kalau kenduri belah siang tengok mcm wedding Ruhil tuh, dusky pink or mcm pink belacan cantek sangat, and the tema (pelamin, hiasan, etc.) can be a softer colour e.g. cream or peach, and just a hint of gold on accessories, baru nampak cam pengantin. And green yg mcm Angelina Jolie pakai masa Cannes Film Festival tu pon cantek gak, totally gorgeous, somebody should try that colour.
And I truly don't see the point of brides pakai accessories kepala yg sarat sangat, dah la anak tudung bersulam2 bermanik2, kat bahagian atas kepala veil pon sarat jugak dgn manik and sulam, pakai pulak tiara yg besar2. Tak cantek la.
Mak andam / makeup artist pon memainkan peranan yg besar. What's with all the makeup yg over2 sgt? Sampai takde rupa muka sendiri. Cuba contohi wedding omputih, makeup dia cantik and tebal jugak sbnrnye (makan masa yg agak lama utk mekap), tapi nampak sweet je, and kira boleh cam lagi lah muka pengantin tu. Aku paham la kalau majlis belah malam kena lah over sikit because of the lighting and everything, but other than that, I believe it should be toned down a little.
Kadang2 aku sedih dengan mekap artis yg dah la pakaikan bulu mata palsu yg panjang giler2 kat pengantin pastu dia 'curl'kan bulu mata tu sampai terdiri mencacak macam pokok buluh. Gerun aku tengok. Pastu aku terkejut jugak masih ada pengantin yg pakai veil yg pleated kat bahagian kepala tuh, yg macam style singa tuh. Yang tu veil zaman 80an 90an dulu tau tak. Kalau tak nak ikut trend terkini pun takpe, lagi bagus sbnrnye sbb tak sama dgn orang, tapi apa punya mak andam yg bagi client dia pakai something sooo outdated?
I think it's very irresponsible of mak andams nowadays. Nak buat kerja tu buat lah betul2, belajarlah dulu cara2 nak mekap, buat research apa teknik baru, fashion terkini plak macamana. Jangan pikir business je.
I'm just reflecting my thoughts here. I'm not trying to offend anyone in particlar. Just a lesson for all: apabila kerja kita mendatangkan kesan kepada orang lain (especially orang yg bayar kita mahal2), buat lah betul2.
To all, my friends who are getting married, jangan lupa senyum banyak2, baru cantek dlm gambar!
