Finally, most of the kahwin shopping is done. *insert huge sigh of relief*
Remember I posted about trying to get custom made bags for my wedding favours, I've manage to find a shop who wanted to take our orders for our favours! Woohoo!
Like I said earlier, barang baik must share.
So my grandaunt said to go Pasar Larkin and try to enquire the kahwin shops there if they are willing to take orders for a customised size of drawstring organza bags.
Let me tell you first k the story of why we had to look for customized sizes. My mum ordered the favours in China via a colleague. She showed us pictures of the items and the sizes. So we already settled for what we wanted and place the orders.
So before the items arrived, we thought we have a head start to look for proper packaging for the favours based on the item specs that we received. Luckily we decided to just get a sample first before proceeding to buy 1500 pieces of packaging.
The favours were too long for the packaging that we already liked. So we had to look for an alternative way to pack them. We wanted to get paper bags for the favours but if we were to get a paper bag that long (yes long), there is hardly any reason for anyone to re-use a paper bag that long. Then it gets wasted. So we decided to get the classic organza drawstring bag. Tu pon susah u olls nak cari orang yang sudi membuatkan untuk kita.
But, my friends, kita tidak patut berputus asa sebab gua dah jumpa barang baik.
If you all know about Syarikat Thong Seng at Pasar Larkin, this is also another place to go to if you are around the area. It's located at the same level but at the other end. (If you facing Syarikat Thong Seng, it is to the extreme left end of level 2).
Joo Bee, lu baik.
When we entered the shop, we were pleasantly greeted by a bubbly Aunty Gan. We told her what we wanted and she was so excited to show us the options she had for us. We already know what we wanted so she diligently measured our item and even came up with a rough sample, sewn on the spot, to let us have a visual of how big the bags will be.
Aunty Gan, mai kanchiooonngg...
Aunty Gan is super-duper nice to even bother to go next door and sew a sample bag for us with the measurements that she took. Kecoh dok. But I love you Aunty Gan!!! U awesome!!! If I can kompang for you, I would!
We also manage to get our bunga rampai materials for wrapping there too. They will even cut the net material according to the size you need to wrap your bunga rampai. Fuss free. You just tell what you want, they can get it done for you.
They also do card printing you know! I didn't manage to snap photos of some of the card samples, but what I saw was quite good la. Standard stuff you get from other kahwin shops.
If BTBs out there want to look see look see what they can offer, you go to Larkin Bus Terminal Wet Market and go to Level 2. It is near the end of level 2, nearer to the surau side. Gua tak tau babe nak cari address kat mane. Google pon sua kasi salah punya address.
Wa manyaaaakk happy la u olls. Wa pon manyak stress tengok countdown. 60 days dok. 2 months. 2 friggin' months!
