Wedding Budget *sigh*

Been missing a few blogging coz I'm a bit occupied after work.. Okay , alright.. That's a lame excuse.. :-P Actually , to be honest I'm still kinda in "shock" mode because the environment in my new work place is soooooo much different from my previous one (HINT : They're neighbours...) But, again that's a long and different story.. :-D (before I'm allowing myself to the part where I open my old and rusty story at my old work place, let's moving on shall we?)

Yesterday was a wonderful day for both me and Moushie coz we finally have the time to spend together discussing something BIG.. BIG as in wedding bell.. *wink* There are lot of things that I'm not aware of about a wedding and definitely on the budget.. The wedding can be soooooo expensive , guys.. :-( Even if you want a moderate one.. I don't know, but upon making a list yesterday I realized that my saving would not be enough to support all of the necessity.. *gasp*

But then , on that depressing note , let me break it down to you guys what are the necessities that we both discussed yesterday , along with the estimated budget..

1) Hantaran

a) Watch --> RM800.00
i love this..

b) Perfume set --> RM300.00

c) Shoes --> RM450.00 (coz he loves something casual , so Onitsuka Tiger would be great for him..)

d) Baju Melayu + Al-Quran --> RM250

e) Cupcakes --> RM50

f) Wallet + Belt set --> RM200

g) ??? (I don't know.. I leave my Mom to fill this in)

Total = RM 2050.00


2) Clothes

a) Akad Nikah

The material will be purchase by Mom.. (yayyy!) so that will leave me with Moushie's baju Melayu..

Me : Kain = Mama (RM0.00)
Tailoring = RM300 (with beading)
Tudung = RM100
Shawl = RM 50
Heels = RM100

Moushie : Kain = RM 50.00
Songkok = RM 50.00
Songket = RM100.00
Shoes = Abang's own
Tailoring = RM 100.00
Total = 850.00

b) Bersanding
Package with Ratu Collection.. Might have to ask Kak Azah though on the current price and also her availability during my BIG day.. But I believe her package would cost around RM1500.00

Total = RM 850.00 + RM 1500.00
= RM 2350.00

3) Pelamin --> RM650 (Pak Uda , our family trust in his style and he has serve us before and has proven to be the best)

4) Photographer
Okay.. This is REALLY hard.. I have a selection of talented photographer.. And yet to choose one.. My budget would be RM1000 that would cover for my entire wedding events..

** although.. a videographer also looks tempting.. I have a friend who make a heck of a video.. check him out here via facebook and show him some lurveeeeeeeee!! ;-)

5) Canopies --> I'm impressed with the Miri's coz they offer a great value - inclusive of fan , decoration and at affordable price (RM150 per canopy) However I just budgeted this one to be about RM500.00

6) Bedroom set
*sigh* it griefs me to discuss this.. Both of us have to purchase 2 bedroom sets .. So , my side would spend at about RM2000 for that.. (plus bed sheet and window treatment..)

7) Guest Gift , Invitation Card , Bunga Telur

a) Guest Gifts and Bunga Telur will solely sponsored by my sisters (thank you so much.. Love you girls so much.. hehehehe)

b) Invitation Card
We would go for a total of 1K cards so that would allows us to have much discount.. I estimated for about RM800 for a total 1K.. That's mean RM400.00 on my side


8) Hadrah

a) Hadrah - RM 200
b) Gift - RM 100
Total = RM300.00

9) Tables and chairs for guests
Hmmm.. I'm not quite sure myself.. Probably I could get RM400 for all that?

10) Wedding Cakes
Thank goodness that we have a talented baker here in Bintulu.. I have followed her in facebook and I have to say that her creations are HEAVEN! Check her here
So my budget here would be RM100.00

11) My sis , Nurul suggested that I have banners for my wedding.. We have made one for our parents' arrival from Haji so the price for each banner would be RM100.. I wanted to make 2 - RM200.00


SUB TOTAL = RM 2050 + RM 2350.00 + RM 650.00 + RM1000.00 + RM500.00 + RM2000.00 + RM 400.00 + RM300.00 + RM400.00 + RM100.00 + RM 200.00

= RM9950.00
= RM10000.00 to round it out..

So... on my side, it will take at about a total of RM10K to have a decent moderate wedding.. Pretty HUGE right? Hmmmm.. I don't know man.. My savings was only worth half of this.. :-(
