Wedding post: Wedding Gowns

Previously I posted my wedding gowns selections and posted pictures of the gowns that I didn't choose.

And so today.. I shall post on those that I choose....

Bridal Shop: Sattine Bridal Couture

This was my intital choosen gown... I like the wow factor when I wore the gown but somehow my mother don't like it.. She thinks I look fat and short in this gown! Haiz! (-___-")

In this end, this was my gown for my actual day.. Actually I do like this gown too, when it was my turn to selection, I already saw a bride wore this gown before me. Thus I wasn't too keen to choose. 

This was the gown and the reason why I choose Sattine as my Bridal Shop. Because I fall in love with the outdoor gown and this! At that time when I was browsing thru the bridal website, I saw this gown design and love it. And when I saw this hanging at Sattine.. I told Mr Lee that I think we can confirm this bridal shop as our Bridal Shop.

It was quite an easy decision when it comes to the evening gowns cos I was tad disappointed that they didn't have what I was looking for. As I mention in my previous post, I wanted a RED colour evening gown but somehow I couldn't find the ONE.. The above picture was want I wanted to choose but my girlfriends think that something is lacking. And I thought so too....

This gown is soo me.. so my bridal co-ordinator was kind enough to give me this gown as my tea dress. I like how flowly this gown is!!!

Actually when I think back, I'm quite happy with my gowns that I've chosen but if I have the money, I would of course go for MTM and all the big designers name. Hahaha. Back to reality... The service, gowns designs and help that I received from Sattine was a happy experience.

What I love to do....

Random snapping of pictures is what I like to do beside scrapbooking!

These are the pictures that I have taken recently cos I've settled majority of the wedding stuffs. (^_^v)

After we are done with Guo Da Li... my main wooden door and bedroom door is stick with Shuang Xi! Red happiness!! Hehehe

Using 50mm f1.8 lens to shoot all this images. I love this image.. the wooden / foresty feel

I've collected my gown and the wedding gown is at my place.... I envision the actual day shoot to snap pic of my gown and DIY hanger!!

Can't wait for my wedding!!! Soooo excited!!

A busy Tuesday

Yesterday we had our Guo Da Li.. As we weren't really the traditional kind of people and this has to be done thus we opt for the simplest way to do.

Early in the morning, Mr Lee and his parents come over to my place to give all the GDL stuffs, and I was told to hide inside my room until all the exchange of stuffs are done. So no pictures are taken!

Taken after the process is done... I'm given my jewellery by my MIL

Mr Lee's dad is quite pan dang kind so he told him that we are not supposed to meet each other for the next 2 weeks. And I was like , "Huh???!! But we still have to go for our Final Fitting for our wedding attires and also to collect our ROM certfiicates??!". So we decided to meet each other secretly! Hahaha

After GDL, we had an appointment for our Final Fitting. I really envy Mr Lee much, he is so skinny that he don't have much alternations to do!
I still have to go back again for some minor alternations! Ai yo!!

Tried on my Wedding Gown, still need some minor adjustment as on the shoulder strap as I'm wearing a toga style wedding dress. Love my wedding gown details with sweetheart details. Somehow from my memories, my wedding gown very revealing but when i put it on.. Gosh! My boobs almost feel like it's spilling out! But I was thinking so long I don't expose myself, it's my wedding day. I have the assets to flaunt it than I should... If not want to wait till went??!! (^_~)

My next love is this evening gown! I was set out wanting to have a Red Colour evening gown but all the design didn't suit me very well so I managed to choose this light blue colour. I love love love the velet details and the sparkler of the inner layer tulle. It make me seems like a Sparkling Princess! Hahah

The only red dress that I will be wearing is this Tea Dress. Had to do quite alot of alternations for me as the length of this dress is so long, my coordinator has to fold in the hems for me and also I requested a lower neckline so all the previous measurement take for me have to redo..

So I'm going back again this Sunday to try on my gown. Next Thursday, I'll collect my gowns and get ready for my wedding!

 Our last stop.. Maxwell Food Center! Previously when i went there in Oct for my selections, the hawker center is close for renovation. Recently they have open their doors and i'm in treat for yummy food!
The Hokien Mee here is just so so but I love the Lao Ban Beancurd and there is this store that sells yummy fried sweet potatoes. I can eat 3 balls at a go!! Hahahaha

I should stop being a pig and exercise control! Wedding date is getting nearer and I'm no where of getting silm. Haha


Stay tune of my next blog post as I will post more on my DIY stuffs for wedding!!

Have a great day!

Wedding Preparation: Selections of Actual Day Gowns

I realized that I didn't blog about my selections of gown.

Last month, in Oct.. my company happened to have a "Fun Day" whereby all stuffs and students get a day off to hang out and have fun @ Sentosa.. Since I don't have to work and it's a Friday, So I took the opportunity to make an appt with Irene (my bridal coordinator @ Sattine) to do my selections for AD gowns. Cos I know in November I will be super busy!

And I highly doubt that I want to go over in weekends cos there will be other brides to be coming up to inquire and do other stuffs. I rather do it on a week day cos that is more attention from my bridal coordinator!

My mother and my bff from work and childhood friend can't make it for my appt to do the selections. So I went with another 2 gfs to help me with my selections.

I think I tried like 7-8 bridal gowns. It's a tough choice cause all of their bridal gowns are so gorgeous!

Dress 1 - Heart shape neckline wit blinks 

Back view of the dress

Dress 2 - Simple with blinks blinks

Dress 2 - even at the side of the corset ties have blinks!

One of my favourite when I tried my outdoor gown - Has blink and lace tgt!

A train that is long enough 

Wow factor dress! Really a couture dress

Dreamy train - just nice for my outdoor solemnization

                                               

A Classic & Timeless full lace sweet heart gown. If I have a church wedding, this will be the dress!

And the dress fits me nicely! Showing just the right amount of cleavage too!

                                                

Didn't consider these 2 gowns as the first one is way too simple. It's very pretty and lightweight, super easy to wear! But it's not what I'm looking for.

As for the 2nd dress with the off shoulder, Its so tight that it restrict my hand movement. So it's out too!

I tried on a total of 8 wedding gowns. These are the ones that i tried on and finally I choose 1. Din't want to post it up so you guys will have to wait till it's the actual day!

Next up : Evening Gowns

To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with Sattine's limited variteies of EG. Irene let me tried some EGs as I couldn't decide which WG to choose and since that I'm having a outdoor solemnization and wedding buffet, her concern for me is my movement. If i choose a too heavy dress, my movement will be restricted. So to choose my EG than decided what type of WG to choose.

I told Irene that I wanted RED colour for my EG cos I'm so in love with Vera Wang's new seasons of bridal gowns. As you can guess, it's all in RED. Super nice shades of red. Unfortunately Sattine only have serveral red EGs that is suitable for me. Which none i really like.

Let the pictures do the talking!

They do have beautiful evening gowns. But I just tad disappointed that the red evening dresses isn't that suitable. Except for the last evening dress.. When I wear it, it just feel so "ME".. that Irene said that she can let me have it as my Tea Dress. It's so light weight and flowly! So love it!

Like the WG, I'm not going to post my EG. But I can say it's a tiffany blue gown with 2 tone colours. And the skirt has simmering netting! I practically just sparkler with every movement! I love love love love this evening gown!

I can't wait to see the dresses that I've choose!! My first fitting is coming real soon!

1 month & 27 days to go before I change my status to Mrs Lee...
