Wedding Updates: The DIY Day

While most are still out celebrating raya over the weekend, I find opportunity to make the best of my day since I was at home. I practically had visitors over at my place today but my sisters and I always choose to coop up in the room instead. So why not make the best of it aye?

A few months back, Bubs and I flew across the border just to get my stuffs for the solemnization gift trays. I choose to DIY instead since we only have 2/3 trays; consisting a ring-bearer, maskahwin and a cake. 

We told ourselves that we don't require any gifts from each other this time since we've already had the gift-exchange during our engagement. So, budget was $50 lah kan but I forever exceed budget. What's new?

I didn't have any particular theme in mind when we bought the items, which was tough though. 

Along the way, I roughly had a theme for the solemnization, hence, the design below. I'm an amateur when it comes to decoration but I let my not-so-creative mind direct my hands! So be nice okay?

1) The maskahwin Tray

I figuratively made do with whatever I had in sight. This consist of vines which was initially supposed to be used to decorate my wedding cake stand(but since we're doing it combined, a little pointless though), empty box wrapped with construction kraft paper, small wooden box inside the birdcage and a pinboard frame for base. 

Level of Completion: 95%

2) The Ring Bearer & Dowry Tray

Bought the tray in KL, had the styrofoam and fake grass done on the spot. Sunflower, Ornate frame from IKEA and another wood frame to make it as a platform for our ring box. Feather pen   for signing(Just in case!) the cert. The SK box is just for display! hehe

Level of completion: 98%

3) The Cake Tray/ Stand

These consist of a small crate and flower bowl from IKEA, the rest were from Daiso. Definitely an incomplete work. I have yet to emboss wordings on both crate and frame with spray paint! Not forgetting my cake which I intend to bake my own! Flower bowl serves as an illustration to where the cake is supposed to be. Still deciding on the type of cake though!

Level of completion: 60%

Okay lah tu kan? The simpler the better, I think. So that basically sums up my day. 

Time to get some rest before heading to the airport to fetch bubs. 

Till then.
