ASH + ERV

Wedding is finally done. It was fantastic, huge thank you to my family & the wedding crew that make the wedding happen and not stressful at all for us. What a great teamwork.

Thank you to all guest that coming to the wedding. Hope you all have a great time.

We have just finished doing our engagement shot. Involving 8ft balloons, 2 tanks of helium & 7 am start. Very chaotic and stressful at the start of the day but turn out well at the end, maybe i should say almost... we end up got $81 parking fines.

BIG THANK YOU to Jom & John for taking the photos (Can't wait to see the results), Tara from Mac for make up, Mayumi for doing my nails, Madoka for absolutely doing everything & anything...balloon assistant, stylist, and all. Finally Sydney for giving us perfect weather on the day after weeks of raining.

Meeting Anne Avantie today,one of the best Indonesian fashion designer, the one who brings traditional kebaya style to modern fashion design. After months of saving up. She'll do her magic and create my dress. How exciting!!!

First impression rather annoying. She was an hour late. I tried the dress on and my parents get more excited then i am. The dress is 70% complete. Lots of details on it. Here's sneak peek of the dress... please excuse the blurry photos. My mom cant hold the camera still from all the excitement.

I got copy of her book signed too... and of course my mom wants her own copy.

This is my most ambitious craft project so far. Making colour wheel quilt for our wedding room. Its a king size..... whoa, still lots to sew! Fingers crossed it will turn out perfect like in the book. Thank you Danijela for letting me use your lounge room to do the basting, we got too much crap in ours.

Hotel Santika Malang probably the best one to stay. It's about 15 min drive to both wedding ceremony & reception. The hotel is 4 star, approx US $55 a night. Contact Ervi if you need help to book it, Ervi's family can help you arrange the hotel.

Other hotels in the area:
Hotel Tugu
Hotel Regent's park
Hotel Kartika Graha

You need to book flight to Surabaya. Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines will fly directly to Surabaya via Malaysia/Singapore. You can stop over on the way there or back and make a longer holiday with no extra cost. Both are great place to visit & do shopping :)

Other international airlines will only fly to Jakarta or Denpasar, Bali. So you need to purchase separate domestic ticket to Surabaya/Malang (yes, apparently theres domestic flight to Malang but only 1 or 2 flights a day something like that. I will confirm this once i find out)

When all your flights are confirm please email Ervi and let her know your flight details. Ervi's family will organize ground transportation to Malang. Which is approx 1,5 hrs from Surabaya.

See you there...

Finish designing the english version of the invite. Submitting the file to Spoonflower today :D
Will upload photos soon.
