June & Deny - Arya Duta (18 Aug '08)

Officially the nekad-est (please read carefuly, it's NEKAD-EST, NOT NAKED-EST!) couple ever in the world!!! Record broken: 9 days before D-Day!!! (when they engaged me as their wedding planner).

Luckily, despite the very2 very2 very2 short preparation time, we managed to handle it quite well, thanx to their good cooperation & assistance from the couple too. Also to my lovely crew who could make it in such short notice with full power. Appreciate it very much :) Also, to all other vendors who could help in such short notice too. PomPoms Decoration, Imperium Accoustic Band, Leonardo Nelson & Wiwis as the ballroom dancers :)

And of course not forgetting this, also thanx to Jeffrey Tan for his contribution in the photography section. The following pictures are courtesy of June & Deny, captured by Jeffrey Tan.

Kok jadi kayak acara award yah? hahaha... But really, they helped a lot to make it a successful evening it's a must to mention them :)

OK, S.L.I.M mode [Speak Less Image More]

The thank-you gifts. Luv this shot.

Walking to the poolside area for some pre-reception family shoots.

A very happy mother-of-groom :) A very beautiful smile, isn't it?

Lidya, June's cousin, doing some test-run on the soundsystem.

The four happy 'cu fen ren' (How do you spell it right?)







The decoration. Love the colours and the ambience brought out that night.

Very lovely cupcakes to go with the decoration and theme color of the night. Tiffany blue white-choc topping with cute white floral icing. LUV LUV LUV the colors. Thanx Wen. From our "I do" sweets department, by MaCeHat :)

The Entrance, followed with a Unity Candle procession, to symbolize the unity of 2 different individuals.

Doa sebelum makan.

June laper banget yah after doa hahaha...

Luv this shot. The candles & the chandeliers, and the lighting, and the shadow, and the angle. They all look so... hm.... ah pokoknya luv this shot tu si liau lah.. banyak kali cengkonek wa...

Desy, probably the most beautiful & elegant singer in Medan? I dun even need to 'instruct' the photographers to shoot her. They always do it on their instincts. Hehehe...

Leonardo (who happened to be Deny's cousin) & Wiwis, my favourite 'entertainers'. Very reliable, humble, friendly and great to work with. If only all vendors could be just like them :)

Deny & June, enjoying Leonardo & Wiwis's Cha-Cha-Cha


June & Deny's thank you speeches for their mums & dads. At one point they literally lost words and they actually looked at me for 'words'. Hahaha so funny.


Deny's mum & dad happily touched by the speech.




A keyboard&violin duo by June's cousins. Keren hohhh...

Despite the busy night, June & Deny got to mingle around. Here are some shots with their beloved friends :)

Hihihi.. Rupanya u Deva arrr... 'Halo Deva...' hahaha...



THE CUTIES!!!

"Sunset in Bali..." (Tony&Yenny - 17 May 08)

OK. My first row of weddings (I call them the ‘mid-year’ row hohoho), has now become memories. Good memories, I should say. Here are the recaps of some of the weddings. (I can’t do full recaps for all yet, due to some delays from the vendors *sighs... and it would be boring to write the stories without visuals.

Now.. here goes………

The first lucky couple is Tony & Yenny… They rang me 2 months before the wedding (One of the nekad-est couples in my diary). They approached me with venue, bridal and prewedding photography already booked. When they told me the venue’s the new Lembur Kuring, I instantly thought of this beautiful wedding theme I’ve always wanted to execute, the very popular Bali. So we decided on "Sunset in Bali" theme. I've always taken Lembur Kuring as the most suitable venue for this theme. So we gave it a go straightaway.

THE AMBIENCE

It’s an outdoor setting. We built a huge stage on the center of the romantic roofless lawn, with personally customized Balinese Pura gateways at all 4 sides of the stage, enhanced with exquisite sunset-inspired lighting.

I love it :) Everyone seeing the setting was instantly awed by the ambience created…

THE ENTRANCE

The entrance was preceded with a videoclip summarizing the morning wedding ceremony, which showed a ‘door crashing game’, where the groomsmen were asked to sing a song wearing personalized underwears, prepared by bride’s very adorable sister, Solita.

"Yenny, I love youuuuuuu"

After the videoclip, we had the classic "Wedding March" music at the background while the couple entered the venue at around 8 pm, through the main security gate of Lembur Kuring, with groomsmen Jimmy & Herry as the exclusive driver & doorman. They halted right in front of the steps to the dining area, welcomed by flower petals sprinkled by their best friends, as the bridesmaids & groomsmen. Walking the aisle, they were led with a very beautiful music arrangement, "Baju Pengantin" from Erwin Gutawa.

THE WEDDING CAKE




THE "SEMPURNA" SURPRISE

As claimed by Tony, this is his 'premiere' public singing show ever, "Wa ku ca SMA, wa si kambuan leng hun daripada chio kua er ar. Itu Ernawaty cia lo wa e ar..." (For those of u who might've forgotten, Ernawaty's our high-school Music teacher).

But here, on their wedding day, Tony's summed up all courage to stand up and surprise Yenny with a very beautiful song by Andra & The Backbone, "Sempurna". You could see the happiness reflected on Yenny's lovely face :) A very "sempurna" moment.

" Kau adalah darahku, Kau adalah jantungku, Kau adalah hidupku
Lengkapi diriku, Oh sayangku, kau begitu
Sempurna... Sempurna... "
