❤ How much would a Simple Malay Wedding cost? Saturday, November 1, 2014 @ 2:17 PM A year ago, I started planning my wedding, it was supposed to be in May 2015 but we forward it to October 2014 in hopes that my late father could witness our wedding. I wanted everything to be perfect, *in my terms* ofcourse. In March, my father passed away. In May, my husband got into a bad accident. I hated the process of planning a wedding, all those appointments and decisions I had to make. It was draining me, handling my business and planning alone. I complaint non-stop on how I wish we didn't have certain things so I don't have to go here and there + we could save a ton of money! Bride to-bes who are on a budget, here you go! Don't listen to what others have to say, it's between you and your husband to-be. If your family are understanding, good for you! If you have contacts and people who are willing to sponsor, it'll cost much lesser than this! How I actually wanted my wedding: 1 day event, nikah in the afternoon and 1 outfit change till 5pm. 500pax both sides. Family and close relatives & friends only. How much it would cost: MAK ANDAM FULL DAY SERVICE, $800. 2 OUTFITS: $300 for Bride and $200 for Groom. HENNA: $150 DECOR: $2300 for void deck. VENUE: $150, Void Deck CATERING: 1000pax, $9000. CAKE: $500. PHOTOGRAPHY: $2150 VIDEOGRAPHY: $1000 DJ Karaoke: $400 KOMPANG: $450 CARDS: $360 FAVORS: DIY, $480 BUNGA RAMPAI: DIY, $60+/- MAHAR (2 Rings): $3700 FAMILY OUTFITS: $500 TOK KADI: $170 including ROMM fees *TOTAL AMOUNT WE COULD HAVE SPENT: $23,670* AMOUNT WE COULD HAVE SAVED: $16,836 & that amount can give us another 9 days to Maldives which is much more worth it! If you're struggling to save money and your parents are not understanding because they want a "classy wedding", try showing them this post. I know some parents only think of themselves and what others will think. It's disgusting but sometimes there's nothing you can do. Keep calm and relax! // I’m not complaing, this is just a post for brides and grooms who are on a budget. BUT if I could do it according to how I really like it to be, it would be like this. We are NOT in debt and do have savings! Kalau kene hutang saje untuk kahwin, aku tak kahwin pun cantik ~ If you’re wondering whether we have bought for a house or not, NO we haven’t due to income tax details and blablabla. We’re self-employed and I just turned 21 last december, sooo faham-faham yer, adik masih girl lagi.

❤ How much would a Simple Malay Wedding cost?

Saturday, November 1, 2014 @ 2:17 PM

A year ago, I started planning my wedding, it was supposed to be in May 2015 but we forward it to October 2014 in hopes that my late father could witness our wedding. I wanted everything to be perfect, in my terms ofcourse.

In March, my father passed away. In May, my husband got into a bad accident. I hated the process of planning a wedding, all those appointments and decisions I had to make. It was draining me, handling my business and planning alone. I complaint non-stop on how I wish we didn't have certain things so I don't have to go here and there + we could save a ton of money!

Bride to-bes who are on a budget, here you go! Don't listen to what others have to say, it's between you and your husband to-be. If your family are understanding, good for you! If you have contacts and people who are willing to sponsor, it'll cost much lesser than this!

How I actually wanted my wedding:

1 day event, nikah in the afternoon and 1 outfit change till 5pm.
500pax both sides. Family and close relatives & friends only.

How much it would cost:

MAK ANDAM FULL DAY SERVICE, $800.
2 OUTFITS: $300 for Bride and $200 for Groom.
HENNA: $150
DECOR: $2300 for void deck.
VENUE: $150, Void Deck
CATERING: 1000pax, $9000.
CAKE: $500.
PHOTOGRAPHY: $2150
VIDEOGRAPHY: $1000
DJ Karaoke: $400
KOMPANG: $450
CARDS: $360
FAVORS: DIY, $480
BUNGA RAMPAI: DIY, $60+/-
MAHAR (2 Rings): $3700
FAMILY OUTFITS: $500
TOK KADI: $170 including ROMM fees

TOTAL AMOUNT WE COULD HAVE SPENT: $23,670
AMOUNT WE COULD HAVE SAVED: $16,836

& that amount can give us another 9 days to Maldives which is much more worth it!
