S & Z

On the 11.11.11, one of my best and longest friends finally got married!
I'm very happy for Shura & Zamir to have finally tie the knot. Love these love birds to bits :)
This also explains the lack of updates on my blog. :( I was busy running errands and getting ready for her wedding.

It was also my first time at a Muslim Solemnisation ceremony and guess what? I got to be one of the 'Dulang' girls, 'dulang' basically means 'tray' in Malay. The whole ceremony was beautiful and I'm so glad I get to be part of it!

The 'Dulang' girls were given cloth for us to make a Malay traditional dress with. I absolutely love the colour. However, I was a bit skeptical on how it might look on me, since pastel isn't the best colour for my body shape. I was really happy with the final product. It turned out better than I expected! Thanks to Aimika, who went through all the trouble to help me get my dress done on time while I was in Melbourne

All the girls in Tiffany blue hues:

Alia, Rozanna & I waiting for our turn to take pictures with the bride:

I was Phoebe's hairstylist that night:

The 'Dulang Hantaran'/ Gift trays:

Now, let's talk about Shura's wedding dress.
It was traditional but with a modern twist to it.
I love the Camelia cut out lace and also the light touches of ostrich feathers to her dress.

Shura's veil, with lots of pretty details:

Shura and her designer from Baharim:

I think this guy is a genius! His designs are so beautiful.
I love this dress on the mannequin:

 Someday, I will afford his dresses :)

More pictures from the ceremony:
Let me introduce you to, the beautiful newly wed, Mrs Shura.

Beautiful, isn't she? 
*sigh*


The happy couple:


The house was packed with people clad in beautiful traditional Malay dresses!

The bride & groom with their 'Dulang' boys and girls:


 I love this picture! 
 Can't wait for the wedding reception tomorrow!

To Shu & Zam,
I wish you the best in your future together as husband & wife!
Love always,
Kimmy :)

Your friend looked so lovely in her wedding dress, her happiness made her look even more radiant and beautiful. And the details of her bridal gown is just exquisite. She and her groom look so good together, and they looked so in love and so happy in that photo you posted. And you looked really pretty in that traditional Malay dress :) Love the hair, doll!

Cheers,
