Wedding Day Photos

Finally collected our wedding day photos from the bridal studio so thought I would share some of them here :-) This photo was taken in the morning at my apartment when I was just about done getting ready. The gown was surprisingly comfortable.

Got my nails done at the Nail Status the day before. I opted for just a simple floral design. I didn't want super long talons since that's just not me in my daily life.

I wore these shoes from Takashimaya which were very comfortable. I didn't want to be wincing in pain for the rest of the day so I picked a pair without killer heels.

My hair accessory from Chomel, which I wore in the evening.

One of my favourite shots of the day :-) Wanted my wedding day to be fun, relaxed and stress-free with lots of laughter and fortunately, that's what we had.


Took some photos at a garden before we went to the hotel to prepare for the dinner banquet.




Cutting the wedding cake, which is actually just a dummy! Only the small portion which we cut was actually a real cake.

I asked the makeup artist to let my fringe down for the dinner for a softer effect.

Changed into this evening gown for the 2nd march-in.

That's all, folks!

Wedding Gowns

Am blogging this at the Starbucks in Narita Airport while waiting for my flight to Honolulu :-) Discovered that I actually had some shots on my digicam so here are some photos of the wedding gown and evening gown that I wore on last Sunday.

Both had fairly long trains which were a bit troublesome because people kept stepping on them inadvertently, especially during the dinner banquet when we went around the tables to take photos with each table. But the flowing trains, especially the wedding gown which cascades down in frills, looked lovely in the photos so I didn't mind at all. My sister-in-law was less lucky when she got married last year and her train ripped after a friend stepped on it!

The two gowns are different from those that I wore for the pre-wedding photo shoot as I decided that the ones that I had picked for the pre-wedding photo shoot weren't really my dream gowns. Fortunately, the bridal studio was willing to let me select another two gowns in early March, which were then altered to fit me.

The bridal studio only provided very simple ribbon corsages for the bridesmaids so I decided to order small bouquets of hydrangeas with baby's breath and forget-me-nots for my four bridesmaids who were wearing purple dresses.

I got these from the Japanese florist, Shiki, at Level B1 of Takashimaya for only S$23 each :-) Hydrangeas don't last very long though and some started to wilt by nightfall.

Pre-Wedding Photos

Thank you to everyone who left a comment earlier for the well wishes! The actual wedding day was Sunday 21 March and it went very smoothly with lots of laughter and joy all around, thanks to the help of several good friends.

I won't be able to post photos of the wedding day until a couple of weeks later but since some of you have asked, here are a few more shots from my pre-wedding photo shoot in December 2009. In Singapore, most couples do their photo shoot a few months before the wedding so that the photos can be displayed for the guests to see on the actual wedding day. The shoot usually includes both studio and outdoor shots, done within the same day. The shot below was taken near Hort Park.

These were taken in a tiny back alley behind the bridal studio which is along River Valley Road.
