Of Gowns & Hairdos

I told myself that we would get started on our wedding prep after Elynn & Bernard's wedding.. and we did! Currently in the midst of confirming our photographers as well as the church venue. Please pray that we can get the church venue confirmed... its really important to me. Not that the other aspects do not require prayers.. *hint hint* Pray especially that God is present in every aspect of the preparation :)

Meanwhile, a picture from the wedding which i think is aptly entitled 'sleeping beauty':

Hehhehe

I recently went to my Dao Gu's place to bai nian and it turns out that my niece and i are getting married at the same period. They gladly offered their Japanese bridal magazines for us to browse through and i was completely blown away. I must admit that my obsession with bridal magazines (especially the US based ones) is getting alil out of hand... but Japanese magazines... WHY HAVEN I DISCOVERED THEM EARLIER?! The gowns are gorgeous and nicer and everything just seems more feasible! Since the magazine wasn't mine, i immediately went shutter happy with my camera phone (pictures later!).

So 'neway, i popped by Kinokuniya to get my hands on some of those Japanese bridal mags (why they are called books are reasons beyond me). Thank God the entire place was on a 20% sale (sorry dudes, it was only for the 31st of Jan) and i went alil mad as usual. And since there was a jolly good sale, i helped myself to the latest Martha Stewart Bridal Magazine too :)

I did felt alil guilty spending quite a bit for 2 magazines. Later on though, when my mum, gramps, 'lil sis, aunt and uncle were poring over the magazine together after Lao Yu Sheng, it all felt worth it. They were talking about gowns, cakes, hotels in an excited chatter. Even my grandfather helped pick out the gowns i can draw inspiration from! Weddings bring people together ain't it? :)

Alright, nuff words. Something for the bridesmaids:

Mummy, Marilyn & Isaiah love this one

Ideas for the evening gown:

Is this too much?

Love the details on the back!

More ideas for head-dress (or whatever its called):

Looks alil heavy for her huh?

Lovely, but will it look like i rummaged my head in the gardens?

And my favourite picture of the day:

Lovely gown, lovely colours :)

Hilaron from Tri-Angles asked what i would like in our pre wedding album; well, this would be it. Vivid, bright colours and happy shiny faces :)

Please, not shiny faces because its oily...
