Wedding Diary: Papercut Screen

We love Rob Ryan cut outs and we are thinking of incorporating that idea into our wedding as a projected backdrop for our dinner party! Hope it will turn out great:)

Wedding Diary: Heel Kick

Everyone needs a pair of T-strap heels and I found my darling in Paris during our mission trip in a tiny vintage shop! Its like cinderella moment when it fitted me to the tee! I can't wait to step into it and dance my way around:)

Wedding Diary: Wax Seal

I've always loved old school writing techniques and I knew I had to try doing my own wax seal for our wedding invite! And being a great fan of the chinese double happiness logo I've bought this darling and can't wait to stamp our love to our family and friends!

Wedding Diary: We are the stars!

Just received the pictures of our pre wedding shoot and boy are they lovely! Having never wanted a shoot to this was just pure fun:) I guess the best part of it all were all the props, outfits and laughter we shared with nature love.

Ha..I made him do a proposal pose so I'll never forget this moment with a rock candy ring:)

We spent the whole day just running, jumping, flying the kites, posing and doing silly faces!

And my proudest moment was wearing my own self made "minnie mouse" bow veil with such joy! This has to be my favourite picture out of 230 shots Gina took of us!

This shoot cannot be possible without enchanting Phuket, Gina Smith a brilliant New Zealand photographer based in Phuket and my two very stunning make up artists:) Will get their names real soon!

Wedding Diary: DIY Bow Veil

As I make some last minute preparation for our trip, I decided to make my own little bow veil as inspired by this photo! Isn't this pretty and so very lovely:) I can't wait to wear it and spin around.. My parents think I look like minnie mouse:P

Wedding Diary: Pre Wedding Shoot Jitters

Going to take the pictures next week and still pondering on what to wear, how to do the hair, makeup etc and wish our photos will turn out as spontaneous as little happy kids!

Wedding Diary: Mock Up Invites

Just finished doodling some initial art work for our wedding invite! Going for 2 versions for the church and dinner:) Loving the yellow and obviously using my favourite fonts!

Wedding Diary: Invites

I always loved embossed and letter press printing:) And I'm seriously thinking of having one for the big day! Isn't this so pretty and grand!

Wedding Diary: Lustful Tips

This must be the 21st century Cinderella slippers!

Wedding Diary: Utter Disappointment

This evening, my partner and I were really excited to go for some gown hunting and we're hoping to get a really nice cheong san or evening inspired piece. As we're heading towards Orchard Hotel for some wonderful japanese food, we thought it will be great to visit Francis Cheong, one of Singapore's biggest name in couture evening gowns!

Stepping into the shop was the biggest mistake ever simply because of the following conversation I had with their sales staff who was in her 50s. After viewing some beautiful pieces, I asked if I could try one on and imagine my horror when she replied rudely.

Me: Hi, can I try on this lovely gown?

Sales staff: it's 12k you know! (With that look that says are you sure you can afford this!)

Me: (Looking confused why when I didn't ask for the price but for a chance to try) Sure can I please try it?

Sales staff: We're closing, you need appointment to try. And she went on and added the dress you see is sample and we can't let you try cause it is torn. We got a customer who ordered it already.

Me: (At that point looking really dismayed that this beautiful gown had cuts and holes on it and it's displayed on the racks!!!!)

Me: Oh sure, could I have your name card please.

Sales Staff: (Giving me the unwilling look and she passed me the designer card) She added that everything here starts from 5k ya. Our designer will be around when you call for your appointment.

WOW! Is this what you call service to your customers? What a way to impress as my respect for the brand has went from as glitzy as the sparkle on the dress to as low as the hemline of the dresses.

Wedding Diary: Table Display Ideas

This has got to be the most stunning table visual I've seen in a long time using just hydrangeas:)

Wedding Diary: I found my Tea Ceremony/Dancing dress!

After a mad rush of Fashion Festival and a bolt of sickness that just flew me by, I am now taking baby steps to prepare for my big day!!! And to kick start things, I decided to pamper myself and I got a really OMGAWSHY cocktail dress from Notte Marchesa:) For the damage, I am planning the number of times I can wear that statement dress which has,you know my favourite details, bows and roses! Next up is settling our catering services..

Wedding Diary: We found our wedding coordinator:)

I've heard so many sharing about how prepping for the wedding is such a nightmare! So we decided to engage the very lovely and pretty Melissa from Wonderland to coordinate our very down to earth wedding! I'm so excited as we went through so many beautiful inspirational pictures and I'm like.. I want this and that and omg we must have that! Ha..

Wedding Diary: Ice Cream Cart

We're definitely gonna have an ice cream cart after our church ceremony for our guests! Maybe we can invent our own flavours too:) Can't wait!

Wedding Diary: My Glass Slipper

Every bride needs a cinderella moment. I just got mine from my sweetheart! AHH!!!

Wedding Diary: Venues

We just confirmed the venues of the wedding!

In the day, we're holding it at St Peter and Paul church. It was where I was baptized:)

And in the evening, we're holding an intimate dinner and dance reception at Sculpture Square which is a short walk from the church! I always wanted a wedding in a art gallery and when I checked, all other galleries are booked for next year and imagine my joy when I dreamt of this building in my dream and heard there are slots available!Weeh!

Wedding Diary: Colour Theme

This has to be the sweetest cake topper ever! And yipee, we have decided to have yellow as the theme colour of our wedding! Topped with black and white as contrast! We have booked our church and our dinner venue too:)

In Anticipation

In exactly 1 year's time is the big day. Finally I am excited and can't wait to start crossing out the to-do check list I downloaded. Think I will first start with the theme of the wedding and work the invitations first(I can't wait to draw mini us and our beloved cat cutie in the illustration) I'll be using this blog as a wedding journal so join me as I take baby steps to reach my dream wedding!
