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

 (Below)



 

 

 

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!!

 

THE DREAM DRESS

Went to see Val today and she drew sketches for us and I was so happy! She drew my bridesmaids dress, my maid of honour dress and of course my wedding gown!

Okay the first one:

 The bridesmaids dress! 

This is the sketch of the bridesmaids dress! Its a toga, baby

pink with white belt. 

Final measurements to be taken latest June. 

But I had something else in mind so below is the photo of what I want. So it's still pink but the flower and the belt is white! So Val has to draw another sketch! She is so patient with me! Haha

Second one:

My maid of honour! Of course worn by my beloved sister :)

A toga with flowers that run from the front to the back and 


a belt with a big ribbon at the back.. Also pink and white!

AND FINALLY! The 'dream dress' finally drawn out!!!

TADAH!!!!!!!!

With a long veil of 2.5m. A sweet heart cut with blings at the 

bust area and blings that run from the right side (front) to 

the back. The back is bare back till slightly above the butt 

with criss-cross. So its sexy but playful..

So yeah I am super excited! For now, LOSE WEIGHT! 

Ok bye for now! :)

Meeting with gown designer at BLESSED BRIDES

Met with my gown designer Val at Blessed Brides! She is very good! And very very accommodating as well. She's so patient with my 'demands' hahaha! Demands made me sound like some mean customer..

Before she could design my gown, she asked me to try on some gowns 

WHY?

1. To see what kind of gown fits me eg: Ballgown, A-line gown, empire gown or mermaid gown. This is one important factor. I don't wanna look too fat or over the top. While mermaid gowns are for very very slim girls! I tried it, surprisingly not bad but still NAH.. 

2. The venue of the wedding. As mine is outdoor wedding, of course I can't wear a ballgown. Firstly, its HOT! It'll be too heavy and i'd be sweating like a mad woman. I can't wear a gown with long train as i would probably be doing singapore a favour by sweeping the floor for free. 

3. My 'demands'. I want it light and pretty of course and bare-back. Of course elegant looking (which is of course as well)

After all this consideration only can she decide what kind of gown fits me. 

She is surprisingly young and very pretty too! I was surprised actually. With many bride to be she's attending to, she never failed to give me the right gown to try on. 

I am looking forward for her sketches! 

Oh by the way, my bridesmaids dresses would be custom made by her too!

Wedding planning has just gone a notch higher in excitement!

Anyway, for brides to be, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VAL! 

AND the price isn't marked up and its very affordable!

Her website is Blessed Brides. Do check it out!

Anyway below are some (yes some cos i didn't take photo of all as I was too excited) of the gowns I tried. Even tried a cheongsam and a very nice gown that is so light and it looks like a greek goddess kind of gown. BUT it couldn't zip up!!!!! I.NEED.TO.LOSE.WEIGHT.

 Gown no. 1 (above)THIS IS MY FAVOURITE! just maybe less 'puffy'?? cos its still a bit too much for an outdoor wedding.. It can be too hot as well.. But overall, i love this!

Gown no.2 (above) A very nice one as well (and it only zipped halfway! :( )   Very pretty as well

Gown no.3 (above): A mermaid gown! Not bad right?! I mean its really meant for skinny slim girls.. Can pull off a bit right? (hahahahaha high self confidence)

Alright so this is where I stop.

I shall wait till she draws something with her magic fingers! Will update then! 

Gowns, Suit, Bridesmaids, Wedding Ring

We have bought our wedding ring! and it'll take months and months and months to customise and all that and i hope it would be ready by our photoshoot early next year

 As I'm customising my gown, here are some of my 'researched' dress.

Below are the photos of the kind of bottom I would like for my gown:

And now below is the type of top design I would like to combine with the bottom on top:

 You get the idea!

Now the bridesmaids dress! As you can see there's a certain design as well:
As some of my bridesmaids are conservative and some are open, so gotta compromise! 

 sorry for the sold out

And now for the groom! He'd be wearing on that day! but the design is like something below:

Alright! That's it I guess!


By the way the wedding at RSYC will be at August 12! Can't wait!
