Hi there,
Zidnie is back!
Few times ago, I opened a discussion in my Instagram @zidniedzakya, most of the
question was about my wedding; the vendor, the budget, etc. So, instead of
answering it on Instagram. Let me write it down for you.
Me and mas Fahmi actually want things to be simple on our wedding, as simple as
possible. But, hey, a simple wedding is required a long detailed complicated
preparation, actually hahahaha :)
First, me and my parents decided the venue. As I live in Solo, Central Java,
and only had 2 months before the d-day, so we did not have many options. We
visited several hotels in Solo, our considerations are; location, capacity,
budget, and aesthetics. Based on its consideration, we ended up to choose Lorin
Solo Hotel as it is near my home (LOL but logic, man!) and not disrupted by many
infrastructure constructions in Solo. Its capacity is quite big; big enough to
be a simple wedding we want and the place is beautiful. We use both the central garden and the ballroom. The garden equipped for the marriage statement and vow
while the ballroom for the reception. We had no regret choosing Lorin Solo
hotel as the place for a very special day of us.
Ps: thanks a bunch to the Sales Marketing, mbak Viena. She knows how detailed I
am so I negotiate almost everything! Lol.

Second, the
reason of long discussion between me and my parents, Catering. The benefit of
choosing hotel as the reception place is no need to worry about food,
absolutely delish. But you know, mom always has her own option of catering,
isn’t it? She wants the other catering as it has yum Selat Solo. But, we need
to pay additional cost if we bring our own food to the hotel. Mission abort!
Haha. Furthermore, because we did the food test and my mom was impressed by the
food Lorin’s chef prepared so no complaint. SHE LOVES THE DISH! We choose
our menu which are:
- Selat Solo and Asparagus Chicken Soup as Appetizer
- Beef Black Paper, Ayam Panggang Betutu, Nila Acar Kuning, Wok Fried Vegetable Oriental Sauce, Fried Rice Noodle with Seafood as Main Course
- Bread Butter Pudding, Strawberry Short Cake, Es Sarang Burung and Es Teler as Dessert
- Lumpia Lor In, Lapis Mandarin, Chicken Curry Puff, Klappertaart and Keripik Kentang as snacks
Lorin also
offers free flow soft drink and mineral water.
The third
things to prepare are décor, photographer, make-up artist and the wedding dress.
With so limited times, I was lucky to find the best of the best vendor in Solo.
They are counted as new player in this industry in Solo. But I guaranteed you,
their works are amazing!
I cooperated with Max Dekor (instagram: @maxdecorationsolo), Moment Terbaik Photography
(ig: @weddingphotosolo), Cyntia Clarizka MUA (ig: @clarizka_mua), henna by alivia
(ig: @hennabyalivia) and wedding dress by Hanna Amiroh (ig: @hannaamiroh).

Fourth are
the tiny bit things to support the wedding such as; souvenir, printed
invitation, outfit for family. I won’t tell you much about this but one thing
for sure; I LOVE THE INVITATION DESIGN. Made the one and only in the world by
my husband to be! I know he’s so talented
and I can rely on and I love him and I am forever grateful he is my husband.
Pict 3. Three different designs based on the arrival time
I created a
Google Drive folder to help me communicate with the Groom and my family. I
drafted the concept, the list of invitation, the budget, the timeline each day,
the vendor details, the rundown, the key success indicator, etc. I told you I am
crazily dedicated when I work 😎.
For the
budget arrangement,
- 65% for the venue and catering
- 18% for decoration, photography, MUA, Wedding Dress.
- 17% for souvenir, invitation, outfit, WO fee, miscellanous.
Hope it
helps! Will write some more soon.
XOXO,
Zidnie
