Search for the perfect one

Since we decided on a DIY wedding, I did a little research for the "perfect wedding dress". Dreams of looking regal and elegant in a tailor-made wedding gown...turned into this!!!Initially found it a steal at a tailor-rental shop, for just $150 for 72hours rental! But the more i looked at it the more i felt it too far off from my ideal dress - it was more cute than regal or elegant! The practical cheapo in me however, was resigned to this...

Until I met up with my makeup artist! :p She recommended we visit this other bridal studio whose prices were "reasonable". That was it. A "let's just take a look and see what they have to offer..." turned out to be full of pleasant surprises! :)

It was down to 2 unanimous favourites that we had to choose from. Tough choice! First up was this VERA WANG gown!!Can't believe I actually got to try on a Vera Wang gown in this lifetime!! >.< The skirt's simply dreamy huh? Simply love the back of this dress - doesn't the cut resemble one of my dream designs (left most)? ;)

But, in the end we decided on this more sensual, womanly look that I think my future hubby prefers :pHa, and doesn't it bear a striking resemblance to another of my dream designs (middle one) too? ;p

And there's more! Haha if you're not already bored of seeing pictures of me.. :p Again, I got suckered into wedding splurges with promises of cheaper packages, so we decided to just try on an evening gown. Just one. And we were hooked. I was skeptical initially because turquoise is not my usual colour, but we all loved it! It fitted me so snugly and even has a toga strap that makes it even more special :)

Finally... TA-DA!!Originally intended to get a cheongsam for the tea ceremony but came across this lovely set at the studio. Don't we look adorable? ;p

A great big thanks to Pammie who so patiently sat through it all =)
