It is also the perfect opportunity for them to be introduced to the featured bridal boutique\u2019s new collection of wedding and evening gowns. And on a perfectly sunny Saturday in March, brides-to-be were treated to Amanda Lee Weddings\u2019s new wedding collection at Swiss\u00f4tel Merchant Court\u2019s wedding showcase, Wedding Splendour by the River.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p>Couples who arrived early at Swiss\u00f4tel Merchant Court wasted no time in getting themselves the best seats in the Merchant Court Ballroom for an unobstructed view of the fashion show by Amanda Lee Weddings. Models sashayed around and on a T-shaped runway in the middle of the spacious ballroom, giving brides-to-be a closer look of the gowns.<\/p><p>The versatility of designer Amanda Lee\u2019s new wedding and evening collection ensured that there was a gown for every bride in the room. Whether you prefer a sexy but not too revealing halter neck wedding gown or a romantic sleeveless gown with a sweetheart neckline, Amanda Lee\u2019s new sheath gowns promises to give you a slim and elegant silhouette that ends in a slight trumpet flair. The new collection also features a sweetheart neckline gown with a more dramatic trumpet silhouette for brides who prefer a wedding gown with more oomph.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeweddinggown1\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/amandaleeweddinggown1-e1368608077195.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeweddinggown3\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/amandaleeweddinggown3-e1368608084931.jpg\" \/><p>Amanda Lee\u2019s new collection of wedding gowns also features an array of gowns in A-line and ballgown silhouettes with the classic sweetheart neckline in satin, taffeta and soft tulle skirts. These gowns were adorned with delicate lace and flower appliques, adding a touch of feminine romance that all girly brides will find hard to resist. Her new collection also featured ballgowns with a ruched skirt and toga neckline for a dash of modernity. But the star of the afternoon had to be the knee-length tulle gown. Playful, romantic and modern, this adorable gown with a side-slanting hem is perfect for a garden solemnisation or wedding celebration.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeweddinggown2\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amandaleeweddinggown2-e1368606708501.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeeveninggown3\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/amandaleeeveninggown3-e1368608413870.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeeveninggown\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amandaleeeveninggown-e1368606662539.jpg\" \/><p>The bold use of colours in her evening gown collection clearly demonstrated Amanda Lee\u2019s creativity. Black, a colour commonly shunned during Chinese weddings due to a belief that it brings bad luck, took center stage as models worked the runway in full black or partial black evening gowns. The showstopper was without doubt a black knee-length cheongsam rimmed with fuchsia \u2013 Amanda Lee\u2019s modern interpretation of the Chinese traditional wedding outfit. Brides-to-be also experienced an explosion of colours as models walked the runway in bright fuchsia, canary yellow and turquoise-blue evening gowns. The evening gown collection was then rounded up with two slinky and classy gowns in gold and silver.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeeveninggown1\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amandaleeeveninggown1-e1368606670925.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleeeveninggown2\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amandaleeeveninggown2-e1368606678409.jpg\" \/><p>Besides an impressive selection of wedding and evening gowns for the brides-to-be in the room, Amanda Lee\u2019s new bridal collection also featured a little something for the men in the room. She kept the men\u2019s suits simple, in full white or black attire with a crisp white shirt inside and optional black bowtie \u2013 perfectly classic, clean and versatile. She also created a fun men\u2019s suit for grooms who are more adventurous and unconventional \u2013 a checkered patterned blazer and bowtie, paired with a white shirt and sand-coloured pants.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"amandaleemensuits\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/amandaleemensuits-e1368606694509.jpg\" \/><p>The bridal show ended with a rousing applause and left couples inspired and eager to learn more at the Amanda Lee Weddings\u2019s booth immediately after the lights in the ballroom came back on. To sum up the day, a delicious buffet spread prepared by Swiss\u00f4tel Merchant Court and a lucky draw awaited couples after the bridal show.
