GOING BALI

We have met with our photographer and we have chosen to go with Vince from Luminous Aether! 

Have seen his work and he is a really nice guy. He answered our questions in patience despite my 'interrogation' 

His girlfriend who is his make up artiste is also very sweet. He showed us his albums and its similar to the one were taking here in singapore for our local shoot. 

ok to break down.

WHEN ARE WE LEAVING?

May 25 2013-May 28 2013. It is said that rainy season is between October-April. Therefore May is the safest and just in time for our local photoshoot here in singapore in july! 

WHY BALI?

According to my friend, it is a beautiful place and it so over rated cos like everyone is going for bali for their pre wedding photoshoot. And i agree with her! I was actually laughing when i read her text. But the fiance and I really want Bali.. It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music. Bali, a tourist haven for decades, has seen a further surge in tourist numbers in recent years.

WHERE IN BALI DO WE STAY?

We have two choices. Kuta Beach and Seminyak Beach. Were still looking for hotels and book asap cos booking early is much much cheaper (can be up to $300 cheaper!). Once we have chosen, shall update and post photos up!

Kuta  Beach

 Seminyak Beach

Tanah Lot

This is the one of the most famous place for tourist.Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home of a pilgrimage temple, the Pura Tanah Lot (literally "Tanah Lot temple"), and a popular tourist and cultural icon for photography and general exoticism.

This is one of the places were going for our photoshoot. It looks exotic.. Something not found here!

Of course there are other places we'd go but we'd only find out the itinerary on that day! We'd be staying 4 days 3 nights with the photographer and the make up artiste. Alright that's it I guess!!

RSYC

OK THIS IS MY WONDERFUL MEGA TRIP TO REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE YACHT CLUB!

I witnessed an actual Bella (Breaking Dawn's theme) wedding which is also my dream set up! My Wedding Planner (Butterflies and Cakes) once again prove their abilities.. 

As quoted from the fiance "I am so impressed, they are really good"

Anyway i am loss for words, just enjoy the photos.. I cannot wait for mine!!!!

And yes I am decided on RSYC.. I really am!

Bali Photography and Local Photography

This are the photography company I am choosing between to do my Bali Photoshoot. They are really good and their photos are good too! For the local shoot, we already settled that!

Can just imagine, both my bali and local photos in the dinner reception! SO NICE!

Depixel Photography

Alex, the photographer is good! How do I know that? Cause he took my engagement photos! He has yet to tell us the plan and all that. His album is pretty too!

To show off his samples, this is his facebook page: Depixel Photography

Luminous Aether Photography

Vince, the photographer, is the one I spoke with. We have never engaged him before but I saw his works and he frequently goes to Bali for photoshoot! He is actually going to  Bali again this Wednesday! 

To view his photos, this is facebook page: Luminous Aether

Bliss Bridal Creations

Yes this is the company where were doing our local shoot! It is  Bliss Bridal Creations. They have a range of pretty gowns and their photographer has quite a good review. Omgee sat down for hours and hours from different bridal booth to another just so we wont decide in a haste! 

Alright so once we have decided on the photographer's I shall update! Now we have to choose on which designer to design my gown! We have quite a number of choices with reasonable prices, but still, I have the image of the wedding gown I really like!

That's for next post!

Anyway, This sunday is RSYC's wedding. Just a quick recap, with all the places our wedding planner brought us, only rsyc or Republic of Singapore Yacht Club stands out and gave us that hair rising experience. It is romantic, with the sea view and all the yacht! Oh I cannot wait to walk down the aisle on this scenery.

And the bella (breaking dawn) wedding is so appropriate for this! I shall upload of the wedding that's gonna happen on sunday!

Bridesmaids Duties

 Yes as it is said, this is just a short random post about duties of a bridesmaids/maid of honour. http://singaporebrides.com/articles/2012/04/the-bridesmaid-and-her-duties/ Its not easy as I thought!

So those who are asked to be a bridesmaids, this is a perfect guide for you!

Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

I need help! as the title says, pre-wedding photoshoot!


We would be doing a local shoot probably 4-6 months before the wedding so that is no problem, still have time, BUT! i have friends who did their pre-wedding shoot oversea 1.5 years before! so that means by end of this year or early next year we have to do it? 


I really do not know the time frame! So anyone who has done oversea pre-wedding shoot, need a bit of advice! 


Place were going for oversea shoot? The very romantic BALI!!


Yes BALI! SO EXCITING! 


Doing some research online on which places are beautiful and it depends on photographer.


Right now were talking to 2 different photographers from different companies. Shall not disclose till we have picked the right one! 


Gosh if its really 1-1.5 years before the wedding, I HAVE TO START LOSING WEIGHT NOW! 
and do facials and all those vanity nonsense..


I shall go and look up bali photos and location and post it next time


As for now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :)

My 23rd Birthday

Yes i know this has nothing to do with the wedding but its my birthday! and the fiance brought me out to eat at Outback Steakhouse.. Its really a good place to eat steak! its thick and yummy!!

And once again, the fiance outdid himself and gave me lots of presents! and ALL VANITY presents! He knows me best

present no.1: Tsuya Tsuya Intense Eyelash Serum. He got sick of my complaining of my microscopic short lashes

present no.2: Sessenz 24K Gold Face serum for Germany! He didn't wanna tell me how much (of course!) but I checked online and the cheapest I found was $300! Inisde each serum bottle has bits of gold

present no.3: A new ELLE wallet, and i quickly check if its made in china (means its a fake or a cheapo!) and NO! its MADE IN FRANCE! 

SO i guess he spent a bomb on me, and I wonder how did he buy all those girly stuff?! Like he goes into a shop and starts shopping? The ladies inside must be staring at him! But he braved it for me (awwwwww)

Anyways, photos below! 

 Top: Ordering food and i snapped a photo! adorable!

 Our Spritzer drink, Peach and Strawberry

 He bluffed me and said the mineral water and the hi-chew sweet is my presents!

 Tsuya Tsuya Serum

 There's tiny bits of gold

 My ELLE wallet!

A must try 8" Sirloin Steak Medium Rare 

DIY Fan

As my wedding is done outdoor, I had an idea that was inspired by Style: Weddings Magazine. 

It is basically a fan that is personally designed and on it is the program from the whole wedding ceremony to the reception to the speeches.. 

Its something like a 'wedding favour' as well. Though we have already a separate wedding favour (provided by venue) it'll be nice that we give something personalised. So that when they see it the guest would always be reminded of our wedding.. and what is  more appropriate than a fan right? 

So below are the two videos that I wish to follow! :)
