Wedding themes & gowns!

We've decided on our wedding theme! It will be 50's GLAMOUR! The entire wedding would revolve around the theme of being in the 50's

Those who know me well enough will know that I'm a vintage kinda girl... I love old music, can't bear to throw away anything, wear my mum's old stuff (I seriously think that I can make heirloom out of all the treasures I find in her wardrobe and hand em' down to my daughter next time.. haa)... Yes, I'm a garang guni......

Anyways, me & Randy are very privileged to be able to officiate our wedding in church... Not many people get to walk down a church aisle and we're just thankful that we could get married in such a special place...

Our CHURCH WEDDING THEME is 50's old jazz



I sketched this out based on how I wanted the look & feel of the gown + details + hairdo to flow with the theme... (when I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a fashion designer... yeap, surprise surprise...)
Thought of having a cute perm, a Veil is definitely a must! Laces & pearls for details will be ideal!

But then, things may change when I go for gown fitting! Coz you will never be able to find the exact dress that you pictured in your head... So gotta see what the bridal can offer!

Our WEDDING DINNER THEME is 50's old Shanghai

My hp totally can't snap details... :( But here's the rough idea...
I wanted to have a fitting lace cheongsum with a big diamond cut-out low back... Something very chinois! Was talking to Addy that day and she totally knew the look I wanted!


However, after a quick glance, I realise the bridal didn't have what I really wanted... Here's the sketch of the closest ching-chong dress they have that fits the theme.... :(

Just a short story abt the bridal selection... Me & Ezen walked the entire Tanjong Pagar wedding stretch to check out the packages. Most of the bridals, when noticed that I didn't come with the beau, didn't really bother to entertain me... But one boutique was really nice and allowed me to even try a few gowns! No points for guessing which bridal I booked eventually! Also because I found a few pcs that I thought I could possible wear... :D
