Alright now, for floral deco! I'm considering with Lavender Love Florist. Have not confirmed yet. Contact person Meizhi is very efficient and replies email within 10 minutes.

I am still looking at another one.
Its Regina Mae Fleurs
As for Regina, she is AWESOME! Her flower arrangements are really pretty! I am super impressed by her! Though of course with talent, it comes with a price.

So I am hoping she can give me a good price. Cos I really love her and her works! And she is an awesome person. Very nice and very kind


Ok so this what I need from them:
Flower girl basket
Ring pillow
Signing pen for guest
Ring Bearer boy corsage
Flower girl hair ring (This will look so pretty! Hair band flower)
Bridesmaid hair ring (This will look so pretty! Hair band flower)
Bestman corsage
Bridesmaid hand bouquet
Couple chair decoration
ROM table arrangement -
Reception table arrangement
Loose petals to deco the aisle (I requested for crazy a lot!)
Chair end deco with small posy
Wedding arch deco (I requested lots of flowers!)
Vase flowers along the aisle
Entrance Arch with sash curtain
 
Vase flowers along the aisle
 
 

Entrance Arch with sash curtain
I want this kind of entrance gate kind of effect with a curtain and it opens up when I am about to enter

So I guess that's it about floral decoration. I really hope the wedding ceremony will look beautiful!


And now for Tiffany chairs! Who gets married outdoor without tiffany chairs right? Its not complete!
So went on extensive research and found Tiffany Chair by XOXO & Co. (Click for website!)

Pretty white Tiffany chair BUT since my wedding theme is pink and white, then I especially ordered pink cushions! Though they say the cushion will only come mid of the year so awesome!

 

Now I am just trying to maintain (or lose some more) weight before I go down to Bliss Bridal to go for gown fitting for my Bali photoshoot.

I am so happy when my gown designer told me she has started on my gown!
(Those who don't know, my actual day wedding gown is designed and customised for me cause I don't wanna use my wedding gown for photoshoot and I want it to be mine, no one else has worn it or rented it before. Only my photoshoot gowns for bali and Singapore shoot is rented)

My bridesmaids dresses is designed and customised for them, like a gift to them. I plan to get them same shoes as well! Oh well we'll see in a later time.

That's it for now!!

Let the wedding planning take off!!

You're Fired!

Yes just as the title says, I have officially 'fired' my wedding planner (Butterflies and Cakes)

Firstly I am not satisfied with their work and plus, a lot of politics going on inside. This kind of company, I can't trust my wedding to them. Wedding happens once in a lifetime so nah, can't risk it.

Anyway, I AM A WEDDING PLANNER by profession, so why not I plan my own! I am more hands on with my wedding anyways!

The contacts are all mine. I research myself, I engage vendors myself. It should be a breeze and exciting to plan mine!

If I can plan others smoothly and beautifully, I am sure mine will be beautiful. Besides I am a perfectionist and I have my mother's standards to fulfil!

Anyway, tomorrow marks the '1 year to go to the big day!'

Gotta go full on!

Till next update!
