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! :)

A Short Bali Post

Yes we have booked our flight and received our e ticket! Even chose food before hand. Not bad for AirAsia. I was so set for Jetstar till I saw this deal so I believe God really gave this to us!

Ok till here till my next updates! :)

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! 

Bali Shoot Booked and Confirmed!

We have chosen a hotel to stay while staying in Bali for 4 days.. Its in Kuta so its near the airport. It may just be 4 days but it has to be comfortable place to sleep in cos the fiance and I need to look fresh and well rested for the photoshoot.

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!

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!
