No time then FINE TIME!
It's your wedding mahhh. If nak budget then mesti lah DIY kannnnn.
Ok so for the last entry tonight, I figured i should just do it simple.
No guides, no nothing, just illustrations.
It's basic, and simple and doesnt require much Moolahs. (tu yg paling sangat2 impt right)
Per dulang would cost around RM38 (that is if you're purchasing the items at JB lah, if kalau nak buy at Spore, might as well get people to do it for you.
If you don't mind parting with $25-$30/tray for your dulang gifts, I recommend you to try Ola Lola or Our Midas Touch, because their trays are sungguh sungguh lawa!

SIMPLE?
Ok after wrapping the sponge lining to your strofoam pieces, choose ANY fabric that you think would suit your theme.
But please take note, keep the designs on the minimal, you wouldn't wanna go noisy on the prints.
As for me, I am using a kain songket, those cheap ones lah. Not for making baju nye, 1 metre should cost around $8 max. and for 10 trays, you would need around 6metres.
one thing to take note also, AVOID using those satin fabrics or those lembut2 nye, because you do need to create a rough surface so that the items and your trays are more in place.
mampos nanti pakai satin hancur all jatuh. da 1 story. So avoid if possible :)
When you're done, almost!, get these brooches, theres a lot of designs at Arab St and they sell by 10pieces/packet. Per piece cost around $1.20. Its quite pricey but its nice kannn. use the glue gun and attach these brooches (without the pin though) to the 4 corners of the foam.
Almost done!
for the trays, you can use these curved, carved trays and place it on top. note to put some glue below it, because it has a smooth surface below, it wont be difficult to remove it later.
Alternatively, you can always place those wooden carved trays. something like this and just place it on top of the foam.
However, if you want smtg traditional, you can always go with the aluminium stands and place it below the foam itself.
now, you're actually done.
You only need to place the wooden box on the foam or those curved metal dishes, place your gifts in it. and VOILA!
BUT it looks too simple kan? Maybe add some floral arrangements?
CANNNNN.
go Daiso buy those $2 stalks. 1 dulang maybe around 3 stalks. those huge huge roses tauuu. just use like the metal wires and poke it into the foam. very simple.
I dont have a picture to illustrate them but I had Arma Wedding Couture as inspirations for my wedding trays.
Here are some of her works.
Too pretty macam nak nangis. :"(
Ok lahh.
You know ah. I cannot see this kind of 'too pretty' things. Especially those in pink roses and anything pink. makes me want to cry at their beauty. haizz.
whats going on with me sia.
But like I mentioned earlier,
I LOVE anything pink on my stuffs, just not ON me.
Hope this was helpful. Then again, I will post up pictures of my completed trays pretty soon.
And of course, you are welcome to rent them after 10.11.13 :)
Love, Dya :)
