So I’ve been searching for a creative way to incorporate my fiance’s Chinese heritage into the table names. So I thought I’d ask one of my bridesmaids to write down the Chinese character for each Chinese word associated with marriage. Then I found some information that I could incorporate:
In Chinese culture, flowers are not only the objects of beauty but symbols of life, happiness, and fertility. If you want to infuse your wedding with the Oriental beauty of Chinese flowers, here are some suggestions:
Red Roses
In contrast to the Western wedding, …

Did you know that in Victorian times, the groom ordered the bonquet? I’m glad that brides now enjoy the tradition of choosing their own bonquet. Here are some rules I found on a wedding video: 
1. Dont scrimp on your wedding bonquet, it is the most important floral arrangement of the day and the most photographed. It is also the first thing people see when the bride walks down the aisle. 
2. Your bonquet should reflect you, not outshine you. It should not be too big or too small. 
3. Ask if your …

Did you see the Academy Awards and notice the number of stars wearing white? I dont know if its also a trend to wear mermaid style dress. Anyways, I thought that I’d post some photos for inspiration for those still hunting for a wedding dress. If you have a dress that is already mermaid style, you could ask your dress maker to make it more mermaid and puff up the bottom:

My stylist recommended that I buy wedding shoes that have a platform because it is more comfortable. Luckily for us, these types of shoes are in fashion now!
So I went out to buy these shoes from office. I think they look great and I could wear them again in the future…. if I dont mind being 5 inches taller!

So I’ve been thinking of having my hair up as its a formal, important affair but still keeping it flirty and youthful by adding soft curls.

Here are some photos of a gorgeous bride …

Whilst chatting to another bride last week, I was reminded to book my wedding hair and make up stylist. I thought I would only need to find one in the last few months before the wedding. There is still 6 months more for my wedding so I began looking for one. I soon found out that almost half of them are already booked out for August 2009 – wow, when did wedding hair and make up stylist bookings become so competitive? So girls, get yours booked out. I would also …

The last few days, I’ve been looking for a hair and make up stylist for my wedding. I found that some people have even been booked out for my wedding date which is in 6 months time! Crazy or just super organised? I must admit that I have been slacking on my wedding preparations and this blog since my trip to India. Anyways,  I’ve been watching the Grammy’s Red Carpet Live on TV and I caught a glimpse of Kate Beckinsale. She looks absolutely ravishing in her black Reem Acra …

So I went to see Bride Wars on wednesday night with another friend. I expected it to be more wedding planning but it turned out to be more about the relationship between the two characters, Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. The two have been best friends during their childhood but when they turn into worst enemies when they find that the Wedding Planner booked their wedding dates for the same date and same venue. The movie did have a lot of good ideas about wedding dresses, particularly Kate’s dress which …
