Shoessss

Pick my bridal shoes! Chose something out of the ordinary. Non-bling, Non-silver, and look "normal".

But I totally dig it! Not only it is comfortable, it is my favorite height of 4" (or 4.5"?), and I heart the rose design at the side of the heel! It add a softer look to this baby. =)

I admit this is plain compared to others bridal shoes that I saw. But I am NOT willing to shell out 100 over bucks for a shining shoes that will be only wore once (you hardly saw anyone walking ard with bling bling heels right?). I set my mind looking for a heels that is practical euff to wear for work too. And I guess I found the right match? ;) And the price tag is awesome! $49.90 for this pair of baby.

Now the heels is settle, I'm looking for my 2nd pair of shoes. And I guess it will be a surprise! But well... Not so much maybe, consider people always expect the unexpected from me. (>.<)/

Bridemaids Bouquet

I walk into paper market last week and fell in love with pinwheel! Yes, paper market is deck out with cute pinwheels of all sizes lately. And I had been thinking how it could fix in our decoration for church recept (because it is soooo bare!), and I come across some wonderful ideas to make them into a bouquet for the bridesmaids! Since our theme is "taking off", a bits of pinwheel does remind us of "wind" and "carefree" ya?

Going to buy some paper/ pins/ straws next week, and hopefully I do come up with some good result. =)

On the other note, we bought my 四点金 from Father-in-law's friend's Jewelry shop. Had to say that we are really lucky to find pieces I like in the small shop. Not alot of design to choose from, and I simply adore a Jade+gold+diamond bracelet but had to let go due to the price ($4K!). Choose another yellow+white gold bracelet instead.

House of Phua is located at People Park Complex Level 3. And they have beautiful Jade design, I even intend to buy one Guan Yin pendent for mum on her next birthday. =)

Save the Date (29 Dec)

What will I do without my bff & bgf!

Our "taking off" theme is hinted at this Save the Date card. Not too sure if I wanna to do similar for banquet. Eh... It's like I only have less then 50 friends coming for the party? Lolx. Let try to see what we can put together this weekend. =)

Truly, blessed to have great girlfriends. A big thank you to Sharon & Madeline!

A lifetime of adventure begin with "I do..."

Photo Selected

Spend 2hrs selecting our photos today. And proud of ourselves that we did not top up. =)

Collecting photos in a month time. Hope all turn out well.

Helpers

I remember when I was a jie-mei at Kelly's wedding, I had lotas fun helping out. So I wanna to spread the joy to my fellow helpers for my wedding. And happy to say, I have awesome friends that go all out to make my special day memorable.

And so I asked them to source catering, design my recept, and even coordinate their clothes!

On another note, we are back from BKK. Ate way too much, shop too much! We manage to buy our wedding favors for the banquet at a marvelous price. Have to thank CCK for dragging it back to our hotel! I couldn't have made it without the men.

We are done with our bridal photoshoot, it is a tiring but fun experience! Thank you Lord for the wonderful weather. Choosing photo in a week time. Hope all turn out well. =)

1st Fitting!

I was intially fearful as the previous bridal store sold off their biz to Bliss, which I had heard negatives reviews the last time. Frankly, I felt cheated! But surprisingly, their reviews are great recently, with brides prasing their service and gown.

Unqiue thing at Bliss is that they chose your gown for you, which is perfect for lazy bum like me. I just take whatever look nice and whether i like it or not. so I settle all my 5 gowns in 2hrs (the other bride take 2hrs and had yet to settle her 1st gown. lolx). Let just say the take over might be a blessing in disgust.

My wish of wearing a red evening gown is granted! Found the perfect evening gown on 1st try. The right shade of red, the right detail, the right cutting. I'm blessed. =)

Gavin choose a Silver and black coat. We (Jaina + Sharon + me) strongly against his idea of wearing white coat, coz he is fair euff! Any whiter he can be a Great white shark liao. =p

Here is a sneak preview of my evening gown. I love the detail at the front, but I shall keep the surprise till Dec!

Ceiling fan

I grew up without sleeping in aircon, and very much want to keep it that way. And so the new home is small, and the only solution is get a tower or ceiling fan.

To cut the long story short, I fell in love with this:

Fiore by Vento, and it cost a mind-blown $900.
