The (Unprofessional/ Part Time) Wedding Planner Notes (part 4)

*
continued from the last entry (this is the last entri for this topic)

M. Spa/ henna
Pamper yourself while preparing your wedding. Have some massage sessions, spa, bath, manicure and pedicure. If you plan to do peeling, make sure that you do it at least two weeks before the day. This will give some time for your skin to peel and produce a better skin for you (wallah!). Do facial if needed. For pedicure and manicure, do it around two to one and a half week before the day. If you do it too late, the henna will not stick to your fingers and nails.

There are many types of henna that you can choose. If you want your hand to be decorated with henna, it is up to you. You may ask professional or your talented friend/ realtive to do it for you. Wear it at least two days before. This will allow you to repair it if there are flaws.

N. Wedding cake
The easiest way for you to have your wedding cake is to buy it from a cake shop! However, for those who want a special one, you have to look for it by asking your friends/ relatives. If any of your relatives that you know have the talent to bake and decorate a nice wedding cake, you may just ask her/ him to do it for you. Maybe, she/ he will give you discount and even do it for free! Latest trend nowadays is to have cupcakes or cake balls as your wedding cake.

O. Entertainment
If you can afford a DJ and live band, you can have it. Most of the time, you can ask mak andam about it. People around the wedding industry (should I call it an industry?), definately will know each other (even if they do not like that person). But for those who want a simple one, you can just put a CD player and play endless Malay wedding songs and English love songs (make sure that you appoint someone to handle it). If you need kompang and silat for berarak, the cheapest one might be the school students. But to get them, at least you have to know one of the members of the silat/ kmpang team or any of the teachers from that school. Their performance might not be as good as the adults or professionals, but hey, at least you can help their team to gain some money and exposed them to the actual events (other than school events).

P. Maid-of honour/ bridesmaid aka pengapit
Oh, I heart this job so much! (-_-") Maid-of-honour is just like your right hand during your day or maybe she can help you throughout the journey to your big day. You may ask her to remind or help you anything related to your wedding. Inform her what colour of clothes that she has to wear on your big day. She should not outshine you on that day.
