September.
Hello!
Sudah bulan September nih :) Sedikit demi sedikit kalender dibalik dan bulan semakin mendekati ke hari H.. beuh tidak terasa yaaa.
Sedikit hore-hore dulu ya, soalnya banyak progres persiapan.. kemarin habis pulang ke Jakarta untuk mengurusi perintilan-perintilan, dan puji Tuhan semua lancar carrr carrrr. Thankfully, Jakarta was quite friendly last Saturday <3
Two major things from last Saturday:
1. Wedding ring
Were collected from Toko Mas Suki. We love love love the wedding rings! Saya suka banget sama cincinnya, hehe.. pengen langsung pake! Komen dari mamaku dan mamanya Yos juga ternyata positif-positif aja. Saya nunjukkin ke temen saya sneak preview desain cincinnya, komennya, "Hah? Cincin kalian kaya gini??". That's exactly the comment I expected! :))
2. Kebaya
Kebaya martumpol dan pemberkatan saya sudah mau selesai! Mungkin bisa dibilang 95% selesai.. tinggal dirapihin di sana sini aja. Kemarin fitting lagi, dan tampilannya udah cakep, bustiernya juga muat (fyi, my first fitting months ago, bustier-nya nggak muat karena saya menggendut nampaknya - well, atau Mas Agus bikinnya sengaja diperkecil sambil ngarep saya bakal diet sebelum hari H, hehe.)
Selain dua hal di atas, dua hal lain yang berhasil dicicil:
3. Undangan Marhusip
Udah kelar print undangan marhusip yang berjumlah 70 undangan. Saya pilih print di sini karena sambil nostalgia jaman kuliah yang saban bulan menyambangi Benhil buat printing di A1 dan A3 buat bahan presentasi. Hehe..
Harga print di HQ Printing service: per lembarnya IDR 1500, BW bolak-balik (kertasnya saya bawa sendiri). Sebenarnya kalau mau lebih menghemat, bisa print satu kali, lalu fotokopi perbanyak.. sayangnya saya nggak bisa melakukan itu, karena kertas saya bukan kertas HVS. Well, that's okay though, kami puas dengan tampilan undangan marhusipnya :)
4. Jas Yos
Yos fitting jas pertama kali.. belum keliatan jelas sih gimana-gimananya, tapi udah keliatan pas di Yos walaupun jasnya masih penuh jarum pentul di sana-sini. Yos juga nggak keliatan buncit atau ndut, hahaha. Tiga minggu lagi, jasnya udah siap dijemput ;)
Will be back again to Jakarta within one month time (or more), and meanwhile harus segera instruksi untuk mencetak undangan resepsi dan souvenir resepsi, sembari mempersiapkan desain untuk undangan martumpol dan tata ibadah pemberkatan. Hap! Hap! To do list-nya masih lumayan panjang ternyata..
Updates so far:
Kebaya: BROSS by Agus
Wedding Ring: Toko Mas Suki
Jas Yos: Sunita Tailor, Pasar Baru
Print undangan marhusip: HQ Printing Service, Benhil
Fotografer martumpol: Color of Ro

first thing first
I'd almost lost in deciding what to do first. Randomly thinking about the souvenirs at first --- and Yos' mom even brought us to Jogja to choose cheap and unique souvenirs to order in advance. I was thinking that it's better to buy whatever I can buy in the earlier days, so in the end, when I'm too busy doing more important things, the small stuffs is already done and don't have to be taken care of. Then later after that, I realized that I haven't even choose the date and book the building.
First thing first --- not to mention that Jogja's souvenir has been included in the shopping cart --- describing the main picture of the wedding itself:
a. How big will it be
This will affect the invitation, the catering, the building's capacity, and etc. We're not the right persons to decide the amount of people who will be invited, since Indonesian's wedding culture in general is about inviting parents' friends and relatives. So, it's between parents, whether they want it big or small.
b. Date!
We don't know yet the exact date, so we're just estimating the possible months, not even trying to favorite any of the dates or months, the best we can do is roughly know when is the most convenient time for all parties, and then the availability of venues will be the next key point.
c. Looking for venues
Basically, by summarizing what the parents have talked about, I know that there'll be four different events for the wedding: Martumpol (it's Bataknese-Christian ceremony, the event usually takes place in a church), Holy Matrimony, Traditional Wedding Party, and Wedding Reception. The most difficult parties we need to find places for are the Traditional Party and Wedding Reception. I am not really concern about the Traditional Party's venues, since all venues are almost similar, what differ them are the sizes and location. So, as long as the date is confirmed and the price is affordable, we're okay about that.
I'm more concern about the Wedding Reception venue, since it'll be the most money-sucking item. We're now looking for a simple place with lovely traditional touch, need not to be too grand or luxurious, as long as it's big enough for the people and decent enough to decor.
Frankly, in my mind, I'd always want a simple outdoor party with several guests only. I envy the Westerns, since they're more flexible in celebrating their wedding days. I even imagining elopement wedding.. and, still want it though.
d. Color theme
By having four different events, it's more headaches to choose the colors. I'm not gonna choosepink, for sure.. maybe light grey, gold-brown, or ruby green. Since black has already eliminated since day one, so there's no way I can go that direction --- we maybe prefer earthy look for the themes. Have to dig a little bit more to look for more options in colors, and to match with Yos' color skin as well :D
e. Photo
Not gonna have pre-wedding session, that's one thing. I'm more concern for the Actual Day' photoshooting. The most important is holy-matrimony, then after that.. wedding reception, since I believe traditional party has already its own listed-photographers I can choose from.
Five items I can list down for the very first steps, and I know it'll take most of our (everybody's) time to decide what's the best. After the first three items, days will be easier, I guess.
