Hey everyone!
We just got these lovely pics of Nurul & Azmir’s wedding from Fiona Lim of FIFOTO. Here’s the wedding breakdown:
Akad Nikah held at Bride’s place in Sri Hartamas
Bride’s Reception held at Wisma Yayasan
Groom’s reception at Marriott
The Akad Nikad had a green & cream theme to it which I really like – isn’t green very soothing and peaceful? No wedding stresses there! Also, notice the fake eyelashes on the bride, if you ‘heart’ this I believe you can get similar designs from Shu Uemera who has collaborated with local designer Melinda Looi, to create out of this world lashes.
During the wedding reception, Nurul changed from her baju kebaya into a traditional bridal dress. The bridesmaid’s baju kebaya is lovely with the black and orange tones. We usually try to avoid black for weddings but in this case it really works! If you’re stuck for ideas on what wedding songs to choose, here’s what Nurul and Azmir settled on:
Performances at Nurul’s Reception
1) Tony Leo & Wel Loren
2) Chak Onn Lau – CLEO rendition of “You were there – by Southern Sons”
3) Anita Ibrahim – “Quando, Quando, Quando”
4) Surprise song by Azmir, the groom himself, singing Besame Mucho
Surprise performance at Azmir’s Reception
1) Zain Amri Ayeob & Natasha Ayla – “The Prayer” (Celine Dion + Andrea Bocelli’s rendition)
The wedding reception followed a colour theme of lilacs, pastel pink and white. Nice touch of hanging the wedding photos up – it gives a personal feel which is what it should be after all.
Here’s an interesting fact: Azmir was one of Cleo’s 2009 Bachelors but withdrew b4 the contest ended coz he met Nurul & fell crazy in love!!
Now that is what I call the hand of fate!
Oh these pics are so beautiful! I loveeee the green. Not so common to see it been used and it’’s actually very nice.
How daring is Nurul for wearing that stunning lashes, and I really love their idea of hanging photos on ribbons, very casual and oh so pretty :)
Yes, she is definitely making a statement! I was at Shu Uemera yesterday and you can get them there!
Hi Jasmine,
I should have to give all photo credits to Fifoto! Fiona & her team did a gorgeous job! :)
The green pelamin background was a last minute change. Initially it was going to be a black and white background but the earthier feel was the one I chose.
Hi Ami,
You don’t know what havoc I created a few minutes prior to the reception, thanks to the lashes! I saw them at Shu Uemera & fell in love with them and HAD to wear them on either of my receptions. Just that I chose to add a little glitz to the traditional one.
I’m a big fan of photos and photography, so for my invites I designed a photo newsletter and had a big photo blown up & you should have seen how my guests posed with it! :)
the hanging of the photos in this one, i have to give credit to the husband for he knew i love photos, and surprised me with this! :)
Hiya Steph,
Thanks for covering this.
Cheers, Nurul Jannah
