The Engagement - Part 1

I'm currently taking it easy in my room after a crazy, crazy weeks. I am sooooo well rested now! Trust me, I have neverrrrr had better sleep that I've had this week. Blisssss :)

Okay, so I've waited sooooo long to write about this. It still feel like as if I'm dreaming but it's true, I'm engageeeddd!!! Ahhh, I'm officially "booked" by the man of my choice - Mohd Zul Mazrie. Okay. Wow. About last two months, we finally arranged a meet up between our families for a "merisik" ceremony. The confirmation of the engagement date was done on that day which was held a couple weeks ago, on 17th December.

So the engagement ceremony was held at my parents house in Seremban where most of our immediate family and close friends came to show their love and support. It was so nice when finally our families meet each other and discuss about our future. And InsyaAllah, the BIG DAY will be held somewhere in September next year :)

Here's just a little glimpse of the day. I'll post more photos from our photographer, Shah, and will write about the day and the amazing people that were there. For now here a few of my favourites...

Newlyweds and Introducing Ratio Design

I've wanted to write about Ratio Design for a long time, and since this post is about our work for a recent friend's wedding I figured it'd be as good a time as any. As I mentioned to you before, one of my bestest friends, Aziera, was recently married to the love of her life, Redza. The ceremony took place in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, near the lake area (it was outside and beautiful!). I was there from noon until the sun went down, then the moment we had all been waiting for: the bride and groom arrived by boat and walked up from the jetty to the reception, which was so romantic (I got goosebumps watching the whole thing)! It was such a beautiful moment and I was so happy for her!

Aziera and Redza stepped out into the glorious night and they were stunning. Aziera's dress was creamy white with lace and embroidery details and Redza was dressed in all white suit. Both of them looked absolutely beautiful and charming.

My dear friend Nisa (we've been this close since first semester back then in uni!)

And here the "hantaran" decor that we did for the solemnization. The red roses and carnations were so elegant!

It was a pleasure to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime day and I wish every happiness to both of you. :)

Trend Talk

I'm deep down in dizzying depths of an extremely busy weeks working on shoe designs for an upcoming project and then decor works for a dear friend's wedding (more on that later!). But somehow, my days have been filled with such enjoyable, rewarding work.

Last week I got the chance to write up a post for Tongue in Chic, which I was beyond thrilled about. Anyhow, my little post is all about the upcoming Spring Summer 12 collection, which just might be the collection that's inspiring me most at the moment. So I was pleased to recently styled some looks from the season. I'll be sharing the photos with you soon, but in the meantime, here's some of them...
