Groomsmen Clothes

Ever cringed looking at groomsmen clothes? My husband was asked to be a best man a few years ago and the bride asked him to change his clothes with the groom. My husband was then dressed in an ugly English suit with light blue waistcoat. I’m sorry but I found it disastrous, something about waistcoats with the funny looking English ties look so ill fitting and chavvy to me. I do hope that brides do not purposely dress their groomsmen in such a bad way to make their husbands look …

Wedding Bands

Upon the recommendation of a friend of mine, we had my wedding band made at David Lawes in Hatton Garden, the diamond centre in London. I was a bit hesitant to have my wedding ring made in England considering how prices are inflated in this country. However, I didnt want to order it from Dubai again because it may not match the engagement ring exactly. My engagement ring had a prong so I wanted to make sure the wedding band would have a small slit so it would be a …

Kensington Roof Gardens photos

So I thought I’d post a few photos of my gorgeous wedding venue. I first attended the venue at a law school ball and I was blown away by how gorgeous it was.

I didnt even know that the venue organised weddings because it is used as a club. So when I got engaged and made queries, I was tingling with excitement. I was over …

Cupcakes at my Wedding!

Yes, after months of talking about cupcakes at my wedding, my bridesmaid and I made them at 2 am the night before the wedding. Most brides have a bridezilla moment and mine was a huge fight I had with my fiance the night before the wedding. He went out to buy some M&S cupcakes (which actually are really good value and look great) so that I wouldnt have to make any cupcakes of my own. But I insisted on making them and I thought that it was quite insulting to …

Flowers at the Wedding

I had three main flowers at the wedding: my bridal bonquet, the flower arrangements on the table, and the bridesmaids bonquet. I decided to get the bridal bonquet made professionally because I’ve heard it is the most important flower arrangement. I wanted to save costs on the rest of the flower arrangements because I heard that flowers can be misleadingly expensive. The average American bride spends $1600 on flowers alone!
Anyways, back to the bridal bonquet, I went down to Chez Michelle (sounds like a restaurant doesnt it?) at Borough Market. …
