I've so much to update for the wedding prep.
But this is going to be wordy & photo-less post :x
Went down to Di Gio today for my 1st appt to get my MTM wedding gown done (:
I hadn't exactly known what I really want,
so gotta go down earlier to try a few gowns before matching the elements I preferred.
Previously, I've heard horror stories of how MTM gowns turn out to be utterly disastrous.
Yes, there are careless and irresponsible designers out there..
But to be fair to most designers..
you can't be bringing a photo of a Vera Wang or Monique Ihuillier gown,
and expect the Singapore designer to replicate it for you.
For one, the fabric used for such gowns are different,
and they can be very expensive materials.
There's a reason why Vera Wang and Monique Ihuillier gowns cost a bomb (:
Insisting that the designer do it for you probably means that..
..you're just gg to end up having it look like a fake branded good.
My take on this is.. look at the Bridal Studio's designer's own works.
Appreciate their work, and piece together the elements which compliment your frame / personality.
There must be a reason why you chose this bridal shop over the others in the first place ya?
If you're pretty fixated on a Vera Wang for the many various reasons,
then go get that Vera Wang.
Don't insult her style by replicating, and don't insult the BS's designer's creativity and works.
Ok, I think I've started rambling. lol.
Back to the topic.. I've put together what my designer calls a "dreamy" gown.
I didn't know that! haha!
I only know I liked it.
Not sure if the design will turn out too complicated..
But keeping fingers crossed that it would be ok.
I'm putting my trust in the designer (:
Worse come to worse...
I'll just pick an Off the rack dress (:
My bigger concern now is the evening gown....
I can't seem to find one that I like.
They're either too elaborate, too flamboyant, or the colors combination are weird!
Saw a design from Annasul y online which I'd loved to have for evening gown.
Too bad this brand can't be found in Singapore.
And I think the color of the gown is white.. and no other colors :(
Oh wells, I hope there would be more designs coming in!
------
Coming up would be the renovation of HS's room!
Thinking of it is making me quite excited (:
A bigger row of wardrobe space, with a TV mounted and hidden inside.
And a new shade of paint for the room (think lavender) to brighten up the look,
and a re-orientation of the bed frame, and upsizing the bed frame!
Addition of dressing table, removal of sofa!
So much to do.. so little time!
Goodness.
There's much more that I'm currently planning,
but I wish to keep some stuff as a secret for now (:
You guys will know what they are when you see 'em at my wedding / pre-wedding!
That's all for now folks!
