    OOh, and another thing about shoes. I've been trying to break my shoes in and thought I'd share a tip. I bought myself some regular 4" heels and a cream silk dressing gown from M&S. I absolutely adore potting about my flat in my wedding shoes and my dressing gown... even the most mudane...

    talking about shoes... i just read this nugget of a tradition. well ok, it's a turkish tradition and not very relevant... but if you're planning to wear the same shoes all day/night, you may want some entertainment activity... get all your unmarried girlfriends and relatives to write their...

    hi Jenn, Thanks, i think you might be right about the hotel's sound system and the hotel curfew.. sigh.. it's really not worth it if it's only going to be for an hour. Ooh and capital idea about recycling the bouquet in your hair. Clever!! I'm warming to the idea of a Spanish bun with a...

    POLL QUESTIONS! Ok folks, it's been awhile since i've been to a wedding in Singapore. So have a few questions to put to poll. 1) Bridal bouquet - Does this get tossed into a crowd of her single girlfriends? I'm planning to sabo one of my bridesmaids... 2) Wedding Cake - I'm hell bent...

    hi Alexys, thanks for sharing. at least I have some feedback on the hotel and the co-ordinator and I'm more at ease. As for what I'm doing in London, yep, I work here. I moved here 3 years ago; my family's still all back home (hence we're holding wedding back home).

    p/s Alexys, i meant to tell you about the dress shops. it was a really laboured experience going round the shops because even though you make the appointment, very few were willing to let you actually try on the dresses. it's a catch-22 situation, where you'd have to 'sign up' with them before...

    hi Alexys, ooh another Fullerton-er. Cool, have someone who'll understand the steps leading down into the ballroom are something I completely overlooked. and now I'm TOTALLY paranoid of tripping over my gown going down those steps, in classic arse-over-tit-style and landing squarely at the...

    P/S Cactus_79, no, it's not Diana (it was a girl called Shuqian). I think it'll be alright. Thanks for the encouragement anyway, it's really good of you
