What have I done for the past 3 mths??

It has been 3 months since I have last updated my blog. hehe.. in fact, I was quite slack in my planning. So what have I done during the past 3 months?

1) Wedding car settled.

I have decided to go ahead with a pink london cab. Why?? Because pink is my favourite colour. The driver is Mr Thomas.. Quite a friendly nice guy.. Managed to book him at $488 for 12 hours.. Attached is a pic of his car.

2) Make up artist confirmed

I have officially confirmed my bridal studio makeup artist from JB, Liffey.. Even though the price is as steep as local makeup artist... I felt more comfortable with her skills.. So decided to go ahead to get Liffey. Was charged for the following

Morning makeup + hairstyle: $350

Lunch touch up + hairstyle: $150 (First march in)

Lunch touch up + hairstyle: $150 (2nd marrch in)

Mummy makeup + hairstyle: $50

Grand total: $700

Already paid $100 deposit... going to pay the remaining on AD. Sweatz....

3) Went down to I studio twice... and made some amendments. Finally managed to collect my pre wedding mtv. Given the price which I paid, I find the quality really fantastic. Pending for them to give me the raw edited DVD

4) After more than 10 times for amendments on bridal layout, finally managed to send my album for printing and collected last week. Everything had been collected except 2 frames, guest book and thank you cards.

5) Confirmation of banquet menu done.

6) Some dates had been fixed as follow

12 May: Selection of wedding cards

16 May: Meet up with Orchard hotel to confirm wedding theme/ wedding favour etc

23 July: Selection of AD gowns/ Buy GDL stuff/ Printing of cards/ Book ROM dates

18 Sept: GDL date

23 Sept: Food tasting

10 Oct: An Chuan

25 Oct to 15 Nov: Honeymoon

Seems like it's almost 75% complete.... Planning a wedding seems so tedious. Can't wait for it to be over.

Wedding caricature standee collected

Yeah!!!!

Our wedding life size standee has arrived.. Isn't it huge and cute?? Got a hard time squeezing it into the taxi.

Let's have a look!!!

Honeymoon trip half confirmed!!!!

Arhhhhhh!!!! Can you imagine air tickets can be so cheap now? I have booked the one way airasia flight ticket ( from Singapore to KL /From KL to London) inclusive of taxes and meals at $291 only.

We have also confirmed our hotels for London/Paris/Barcelona/Venice/Rome which is way within our budget. Looks like we can have a 25 days trip within $3000. Didn't know travelling to Europe can be so cheap!!!

Currently waiting for the booking of connecting flights to open soon.. so that we can book our air tickets... Can't wait to go for the trip!!! Yeah!!!

Church Wedding Florist & cupcakes wedding reception vendor confirmed!!!

2 more items off the list.

After several selections, I have decided to confirmed my vendors for my church wedding floral decoration and wedding cake reception at Orchard hotel. Even though they are not the cheapest quotes I have sourced, I was quite satisfied with their service and decided on them.

Wedding Florist: 85 Flowers (http://85flowers.multiply.com/)

Lindt was very friendly and gave us alot of ideas on the floral decoration. As our theme consist of mainly pink, white and purple, we eventually decided on using pink and white gerberas together with Forget-me-not. We find it abit different from others because alot of the church weddings we have attended mainly use roses as deco. Gerberas represents innocence and purity, and holds an added meaning of cheerfulness, which stems from the assortment of colors available. Think it will really be very nice to fill up the aisle with gerberas.


Wedding cupcakes Reception: Simplycakes (http://simplycakes.multiply.com)

I was very amazed by the beautiful cupcakes featured in the website. It's a home based business. Tina is very friendly and very accomodating to my requests. We are actually to mix and match our cupcake designs so that everyone looks unique. After our discussion, we decided on the designs to suit the theme. We will mainly be using flowers/castle/princess/horse carriage etc. I'm really looking forward to 4 tier wedding cupcake reception!!!!

My hongkong trip (28 Dec 2009 to 2nd Jan 2010)

That was my happiest trip in year end 2009. Shop till I drop!!!!

I managed to buy 1 wedding gown and 3 evening gowns(for mother) at golden plaza, a building selling only wedding stuff. It was really a good bargain. Can you imagine each piece cost less than S$100?? and alteration is inclusive...

I wanna be the prettiest bride on that day.. and I have decided to have many changes of outfit and hairstyle on that day. That will be my plan

Church wedding - Wedding Gown 1 (Supplied by Venus) / First hairstyle & makeover by Liffey
Banquet- Wedding Gown 2 (Bought in Hong Kong)/ Second hairstyle & makeover by Liffey
Banquet - Evening Gown 1(Supplied by Venus)
Banquet - Evening Gown 2 (Supplied by Venus/ Third hairstyle & makeover by Liffey
Tea Ceremony - Cheongsum (Bought from Emmanul B Couture)

Still got 1 short gown... Can't think of where to fit in already.

Hope to get this finalised soon.

Wedding Caricature

While I was watching the live telecast of Fann Wong & Christopher's wedding, I noticed that they have a wedding caricature standee at their banquet reception. It really looks fantastic. So I decided to do one too.


hehehe.... Found a carcaturist who was very accomodating to my requests and have decided to go ahead with it. Here comes my drawing...

Draft 1

Draft 2

Final drawing

Intend to use it for not just the standee, but also for my church invitation card. Hope the final result is good!!!

Here comes my portrait wedding album draftt layout!
