My Dream Wedding Is...

A single lady (note: without any boyfriend or involved in any romantic relationship) like me talking about wedding? Hell yeah, WHY NOT?

I will be 24 years old next month.

And somehow in Indonesia, it's like I'm going to expire soon, so I need to get married. I don't know but the topic of marriage is getting more and more often being talked about.

I often wonder about the wedding. Everytime I attend a wedding reception or looking through those pre wedding photoshoot, it makes me want to get married even sooner! LOL.

And I often think that it must be a super-duper busy time for the bride to prepare for her wedding. Well, it's a very very special (+sacred) day for every woman, I believe.

So here's my dream wedding!

(my future husband should definitely read this!)

Tia's Dream Wedding

Garden Party

I always want an outdoor wedding party, but to be honest, not that wedding party held in front of parents' house and with that annoying 'orgen tunggal' (LOL, now you know where I came from). I want a small wedding reception with only the closest ones attending. 

It would be perfect if it is held near the beach and continues until the night.

But as for me and my family this will be perfect only for the holy matrimony, not the wedding reception lol. It's almost impossible to have small amount of guest during wedding reception here in Indonesia (especially people from my hometown).

The Wedding Dress

As for the wedding dress, I actually prefer to wear the traditional wedding dress. And as my hometown is in Palembang, I want to wear this kind of wedding dress, like the one that Aliya Rajasa wore for her holy matrimony.

Or the one that Arumi Bachsin wore during her wedding below,

Why? Because I love the traditional dress from Palembang. It is a mix of gold and red so it looks very glamorous and queen-like. Besides, nowadays I've seen more and more couple decided to do modern wedding and leave the traditional wedding dress behind, so I want to preserve it!

Makeup

On my wedding day, of course I want to be the prettiest woman on earth! So I have to find the best Makeup Artist that can transform me into the most beautiful woman. But errr, it's hard to find nowadays because the result is different for each person.

One of my friends said that each makeup artist has his/her own specialization. For example, those who are specializing on traditional wedding makeup doesn't do well for modern wedding (which usually use more natural makeup).

Hmm..

Etc.

I also want to have those cute and beautiful wedding invitation and also memorable souvenir for the guest.
