1 month ..

My apologies for not updating frequently in the past 2 weeks. It was more a lack of interesting topics to blog about than not having the time to blog.

With 1 month left till our solemnisation, there are some loose ends that needs to be tied up. We just confirmed my hand bouquet with 85 Flowers this afternoon. It will be similar to the picture below but with white pearl strands over the petals.

For my makeup and hairstyle, I have decided to let J's friend do it for me and it'll be a trial session for us to decide if we will be using them for our AD next year. From the samples that I have seen of the works of J's friend, I have confidence that he will do a good job. 

As for Project wedding pillow, I have not started on it yet, but the stuffs needed for the project save for a length of red and white ribbon are ready. This should be a simple enough job that can be completed in 2 hours max and I should be able to finish it over this long National Day weekend.

Something random that I came across while surfing through the wedding websites, I love how the red and white theme is presented here. It so happens that monday is our national day and our country's colours are also in the above mentioned colours .. Which also happens to be my wedding theme colours too ...

Happy National Day everyone!! Enjoy your long weekend!!

ROM - Flower Bouquet

One of the important elements for a wedding is the flower bouquet. They don't serve much purpose though. Rather, they give a bride something to hold on to during the march in and the photo taking.

Since our bridal studio is in Taiwan, the flower bouquet is not included in the package. So .. for the past 2 months I have been sourcing for quotes for flower bouquets for ROM. The thing is, once the florists heres the word ROM, the price of the flower bouquet will go up 3 folds and can reach 80+ 90+ depending on the types of flowers, number of flowers and the type of wrapping. Surprisingly, the prices for bare stalks (just a length of ribbon that winds round the flower stalks) where less material is used than the covered stalks are much more expensive.

I have almost given up on finding a bouquet that costs less than $70 but my guardian angel must have been looking out for me. I managed to find a 85 Flowers that sells these bouquets at less than $70 inclusive of 1 boutenniere for the groom, additional boutenniere or corsages are also half the price of other florists. We might also use them for our AD next year if we are happy with their service. 

I am now deciding on the following 2 bouquets to match my theme of Red, White, Black. But the 3rd bouquet also looks very nice with the peach rose buds in half bloom.
