Chasing Light

Planning a wedding involves many many people. As much as I want to make if simple, the wedding we wanted is not so simple. :/ We scout for many places, went down Burkill hall 3x before we confirm the place. It was a difficult decision since parking seems inconvenience, hot weather and the no. Of pax we have. But we really like the place so we whack!

Short listing the bridal shop is also another big consideration.. We were considering to take our own prewed or just take a normal package like most people. Taking our own pre wed will have lotsa limitation but the process is gonna be memorable, something which we can look back and miss when we are, wiser.

From Le grand, z wedding, EBC, to Sophia, destino and etc, it's so hard to make a choice!!! I like Le grand n ebc 's gown but I Donno if its worth it to spend a few grand on them.. It's always the 'once in a life time' popping ard us. We chose EBC, and Im pretty sure i have no regrets.

Venue and bridal are the major items to confirm, besides the wedding date. We started looking out for pretty deco ideas. It's really hard to decide cos everything we saw are pretty, n which come with high cost.

Having selected a bridal boutique with no photo included, we have to plan for prewedding shoot as well. Oversea or local? We were toying with the idea of going to Japan or ausie for our DIY shoot. Japan since HL is gg there to shoot, so y not! But the radiation problem is really stopping me to say 'ok'. Probably it's only me that feels this way...

Then alv n yl suggested a prewedding tho lossy trip which was a good idea!! I love campervan trips. So we had our first pre wedding shoot in Vic. HL had his mountain shoot and I have my hay shoot. :)) missing the trip v much :(

We had a second shoot when HL's Bali fren came to sg and asked HL if he is keen for a shoot. So we decided to have the shoot in gown again! The photo turn out really nice and its really diff from self portrait. Haha... I love self shoot still!!!

Then we had another shoot in Kyoto. The dress that my mum made. That was my fav dress cos its exactly what I wanted. :))) we had many Rds of alteration and I insist in this design. Glad that if turn out so well :)

Met up with Ryan at IcS to finally the set up and planning for D day. There's AV that we need to settle, live band, and most importantly the AD plan. Cutlery setting confirmed, no. Of pax still increasing.. >.<, I can't decide on my ice cream or cup cake station.

Meet up with Fi to confirm the flowers needed for the centre pieces, recept table, album table, ROM table, my pinwheel aisle, buffet line, my bouquet and march in bouquet for my ladies. Yellow n cream are the main color since I doubt there's any Tiffany blue flowers.

Sniff sob... Hardworking goes down the drain after cutting, ironing and painting!!!

Making a little banner for the little girl/boy to hold during the march in. Was so tempted to just use it since ppl will probably think its on purpose. But I decided to do another one!!!!

:)) it's a success!!!

Doing this was much more tedious than the MR/MRS printout. For the banner I gotta print the wordings on the freezer paper, cut out the letters to make a stencil, stick the paper and burlap together by ironing and finally paint the burlap.

DIY is fun.

Tried my new idea - pinwheel light. It works somehow!! Quite happy with how it turns out. My dream light is gonna cost is a bomb, so we are looking for alternative- candles!
