Wedding Preparations: Counting down!

Some people say time flies when you're in love and busy.. Yes!

Both Mr Lee & I are very much in love and we are soo busy with our work and also wedding preparations.

We are now down to 8 days till our wedding!!

Currently I still have these items outstanding which I'm going to get it done soon!!

1) The most frustrating - Guest Seating Arrangement.
This is really very "headache" cos the guests that I invited, mostly they know each other. But I still have to seat them according. I really wish it's a free seating thing. Haiz..
What's even better?? People don't RSVP back to us.

2) Some final DIY touches - Guest's place cards (Pin wheels)
Cos I haven't decided on their seating arrangement, so I couldn't write their name and table number on the pinwheel. Haiz.

3) Shifting my stuffs over to Mr Lee's place
This is kinda of difficult to do it cos I'm not suppose to meet Mr Lee for 2 weeks after we have done our GDL.. but we still meet each other secretly..

4) Wedding Walk in Playlist
We have already chosen our songs for walk in.. so now we have to burn it in a disc. This should be easy! Heheh


Just to share some of the DIY stuffs that I do for my wedding..

A personalizaed hanger for Mr Lee & myself.

A DIY photo frame for all my Bridesmaids

10 Commandments of Love - which we both have to sign when Mr Lee is here for his gatecrash

Paper Dollies with Love - to be tied around the 2 trees in front of Glass Pavilion together with our photos

I did a total of 14 paper rosettes of different sizes, meant for decorations. Which I will leave it up to my bridesmaids to decorate.

As mention in my previous blog post. I will having a DIY photobooth - so these are all the props that I've prepare!

Last but not least.. My DIY paper rosette flowers. Which I will place it at the reception table together with my album...

I hope the decorations will turn up as how I imagine...

I almost forgotten to blog about this! The solemnization package that we sign up with Amara Sanctuary has 2 florists for us to choose. I check out their facebook pages and I love this decorations.

All this images are taken from Sing See Soon's facebook page.

So I met up with Rachelle from Sing See Soon to discuss about my decorations for the Glass Pavilion.
And I told her that I prefer a rustic decorations and my wedding theme is Rustic/Vintage & Whimsical...

So she will help me to add some other flowers beside gerberas... I can't wait to see the final results of the flowers on that day!!

Right now, this bride to be is going to chill and relax and pamper myself. This week is going to be a busy week for me as I'll go for my eyebrow shaping, mani & pandi appointments!

Have a great week & Merry Christmas!

Wedding Preps...

Recently there are quite a few bloggers that I've been following all have been engaged and gettting ready their wedding.

I was inspired by nadnut on her wedding preparation post. So there's my wedding preparation.

• Venue: I've always dream of getting married in a outdoor garden wedding. I know it's difficult when the weather in SG is so humid. When we went for site visit of all the hotels that we shortlist. We fall in love with Amara Sanctuary Resort. It has semi outdoor area, which is just nice for us! So we booked their Solemnization + buffet dinner package!

• Guestlist: 80% done. Mainly consist of our families and close friend + colleagues.

• Save the dates: Sent out 3.5 mths in advance to our wedding. As our wedding date is a public holiday thus we want to inform our friends early so that they will be around to attend our wedding. I sent out our Save the Dates card before we took our engagement shots. So I took a free template from Wedding Chicks.

This is my favorite!

• Engagement Shoot: All thanks to Google, I managed to find a photographer who does her photos in vintage style. And the photos turns out to be soooo beautiful that we had a hard time choose which photo to be printed out on canvas. Oh,Dear! photography

Coral, White, Green are my theme colours!

• Colour theme: Since it's a garden wedding, i decided to go with bright colours that will bring out vintage, rustic and timeless feel.

Tissue Pom Pom

• Wedding decorations: I've yet to meet up with the florist that is included in the package. I've also purchase tissues pom poms (20 pcs) from ShopMerryLove. Which will be arriving around mid-oct. Beside florist, I've also decided to put up poloroid twine hanging on the tree. Guest will take their photos individually or tgt with us the newlywed and hang on the twine!

• Wedding favours: Have yet to choose but its included in the Solemnization package.

• Wedding Invites: It's going to be design by me, nothing special as I'm not very pro in photoshop.

• JP: Since Mr Lee is christian and I'm not, thus we are not having a church wedding. My compromise to him is to have a pastor as our JP!

• Wedding guestbook: I bought my fingerprint wedding tree guestbook from esty. Esty is such a evil place!!! Hahaha.. I'm so tempted to purchase the personalized hanger! Resisting the temptation!

• Wedding bands: We have yet to purchase our wedding bands yet but we are most likely going to Meyson Jewellery to purchase one as their wedding bands are of the most reasonable priced.

I love this gown for my outdoor shoot!

• Outfit: Few months back, I've sign up Sattine Bridal Couture as my bridal shop that will provide me with my AD gowns. Rented my outdoor gown from them and I've yet to choose my AD gowns but will do so soon! 

• AD photographer: Since the day that I started photography as an interest, I've been eyeing on One Eye Click. I love love love love love their works! And I'm pretty lucky to be able to sign up their package at a reasonable priced! No videography as i doubt will have the screen and projector to screen but I will have a DSLR on full HD to record down those precious moments. So perhaps one of my friends or my brother will do that job.

• Honeymoon: We have yet to decide. Gold Coast, Japan are on our list. But that will be much after the wedding. So I was thinking of having mini-moon straight after the wedding. Either Phuket or Bali.

It's our pre-wedding shoot with Oh,Dear

Finally we had our engagement photo shoot with Melody from Oh,Dear! photography on 1st Sept 2012.

From our experience, it's a fun and tiring process! But I believe that it's all worth it!! Was praying very hard that the weather will be good to us! And luckily it is! Bright and sunny! 

So before our photo shoot, we had our gown and suits altered and fixed. And I did alot of homework on  hairstyles and my makeup artist managed to braid my hair for me but I didn't get a snap of it! Haiz..

So I choose 2 locations for our shoot! 

1. Armenian Apostolic Church @ Hill Street

2. Garden By the Bay

So we got ready around 1pm to get to our Sattine (bridal shop) for my makeup and hairstyle.

I prepared my own ampules and eyelash but was not used cos they say that it's not suitable. Hmmm...

Anyway, Melody posted some sneak peeks for us to view! I can say it's soooo pretty and I can't wait for the rest of the photos. Which I will received in soft copy in 2 weeks times! (^_^V) 

My childhood friend who helped me on my shoot

My look for that day

Hair let down for the 2nd change of clothing!

These are the sneak peeks from Melody!! Just these 3 pictures already took my breath away!!

We brave thru the heat and the crowd with tons of ppl staring at us... still we had fun!

Settled 1 item off the wedding checklist

Yeah!! At least 1 item off the many many never ending list of wedding check list!

It's PRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!!

As I want all my bridal stuffs to be a-la cart so i went out to source for a really good and affordable photographer for pre wedding. Initially wanted to go to Hongkong for pre wed photos but after a detailed calculation, cost almost come up to 5K which we both think that it's way to expensive!  And can't be sure that the pre wed style will be what I like.

I've always like vintage style photography.. so went I come across "Oh, dear! photography" I'm elated! So I went to drop an email to check out their price. Was surprised to received their quotation cos it's really affordable and their style is what I like!!

 So after many emails later, we have book a slot and also made the deposit payment... 

Which means..... we have CONFIRMED our photographer!!! Yeah!

Oh, dear! photography is the one!! (^__^v)

oh,dear! Photography

Melody, the owner of this company is sooooo popular that she's fully booked all the way till Jul'12... So I managed to book a session with on the 1st Sept! Giving me 6 mths time to search for a wedding dress, go on diet, props and make up artist!

Below are some of my favourite photos from her website!
