Hi
Yuki,
For evening, white doesn't seem nice leh. A sweet pastel color would complement your theme and you better.
My theme ah... haiz, still thinking about it. I want to make use of RH's colonial style architecture but can't quite put it all together yet coz I want my theme to be consistent for both my church ceremony in the day and the banquet at night.
Hi
Sharlene,
Nice pics! Love the color of your gown. Where did you get it from? Your FH and you look really good together!
Hi
Cinderella,
The idea of a tea dress is to symbolise that you have already married out and are now returning home to pay respect to your parents. In China last time, the groom may live in another village so the bride won't be able to visit her family on the same day. So in this case, when she returns, she'll obviously not be wearing her bridal gown. So in S'pore we adapt by making the bride change to a tea dress lor.
Some trivia, the gift of a roast piglet accompanying the bride's return will indicate whether the groom and his family are happy with the bride. A piglet without a ear is an "insult" coz it means that the bride wasn't a virgin.
Hi
ying,
Thanks! The pics were taken by our brothers.
For my BS, we chose our costumes when we confirmed our outdoor gown. But it won't take long to select it on the day itself.
Ok...here comes my PS tips!
Remember to rest well, drink lots of water and have a good meal before your PS coz if you get dehydrated, your lips will crack and it makes it difficult for the MUA to change lipcolor for you. A good meal coz it's likely your meal times will be irregular coz of the shooting. BTW, what time do you have to go down?
Get a nu-bra if you need it, it's still not too late to buy one. Pamper your face the day before with a hydrating mask so that it'll look radiant. Bring along eye drops if you wear contacts. Your eyes can get quite tired and you may blink unnecessarily during PS. (So try and rest your eyes between shoots)
Bring some high heels that are comfortable for walking (coz you may have to walk a bit for your outdoor shoot) or simply, your wedding shoes if you want. Bring along tissue paper/blotter for outdoor too. You'll definitely need it!
Oh yah, turn up in a blouse that you have to button up in front. Coz this will make it easier for you to change. You'll only change into your gowns after make-up.
For FH, bring along as many different colored shirts as possible (both light and dark). Bring down matching ties if possible coz those that the BS have may not be nice.
