Anis & Aiman, April 2014

This wedding was a bit of a challenge and a test for me as a Wedding Planner. Three weeks prior to wedding date, the original venue had a mishap after renovating and the lobby and the main staircase leading up to the ballroom was completely sealed off. Striped tarpaulin covers everywhere and debris was still in the process of being cleaned up. Needless to say, my bride was crying over the incident and we had to look for an alternative venue - with 21 days to go!

Luck was on our side and Hilton PJ was available and the rest they say is history!

Intan & Azwan, 27.12.2013

A super busy bride and with parents & sister residing overseas, Intan sought PDP's assistance to plan & coordinate her wedding. Communications were mostly via whatsapp (group chat of course) with her mother & Intan.

Simple is what Intan wanted from day one. Colours selected for her event was White, Cream, Champagne & Butter Yellow  to compliment Intan's Turquoise outfit

REAL WEDDING: Melissa & Amin, 25th May 2013

Pn. Zai wanted all white & green theme in the beginning. Green to be as natural as possible and as close to the forest green that was surrounding their home in Taman Malawati, Kuala Lumpur. As we get to a month prior, client added black trimmings to the colour scheme to break the monotonous.

The challenge this time was not so much the decor part as I had every confidence with Arjuna Cipta being able to deliver what the client wanted but the placement of the canopy. As the bridal residence was an intermediate one, and the garden/patio is at the back of the house which was on the 2nd level of the house... confused yet? Yes, it was a bit confusing to the canopy supplier to erect the canopy as well as for the caterer to set up the buffet line. Since the only way in and out was through the front door, the canopy supplies were carried from ground floor to the garden on the 2nd level. There were heart stopping moments for me as I watched the those boys climbed the long ladder on the steep wall, propped up from their lorry. The Big Onion Caterer staff came a day earlier to set up the buffet line and store their supplies at the lower level as the space available was not enough to accommodate their tools and set up 'base' for storage. With guests arriving at 9.45am and ceremony was scheduled to start at 10.30am, it was imperative that the set up was done a day prior and that food delivery was to arrive at 8.30 am on event day. 

Arjuna Cipta did a good job once again and client was extremely happy with the Main Entrance decor which was unplanned and was a last minute decision by me and agreed by client & decorator. Since we didn't have any canopy (an indication of a wedding in most cases) up front, the decor at the gate was the best idea we had. I was praying hard that the wild monkeys who resides in the jungle opposite the house didn't find the flowers too tempting and my prayers were answered. The flowers were still intact when I arrived at 7.30am on event day and most guests used the floral decor there as indicator to the event Although, a few of the monkeys was kind of curious about the goings on during the arrival of the groom where a couple of them were watching directly across the main entrance which made yours truly rather nervous... Nevertheless, all went well, alhamdulillah and what's important was the client was very happy with our services plus the family was very helpful and accommodating to us. Thanks, Kak Zai!

REAL WEDDING: Shafini & Harriz, 14 & 16.2.13

Simple. That word alone describes what Shafini likes and how she'd would like her wedding to be. Lots of fabrics, ribbons and sheers for the decor. Peach was the selected choice with a bit of pastel florals to complement.

Real Wedding: Dina & Taufik 12.12.10

Dina wanted an informal atmosphere for her wedding and was quite specific about it. She engaged PDP as her wedding planner as 1) her working hours was not the normal 9-5 and 2) someone to ensure that all is done according to her wishes... From January of 2010 right up to the event date, we usually meet up on Sundays, for brunch at Dome to discuss the preparation and planning and coordination details.

Now that her event is over, I kind of miss our Sunday brunch meetings....
