She says: Behind the Scene

I realize, I put a lot of nice, beautiful pictures of my wedding, but not the unsightly pictures (wth??!). So when all the pictures finally arrived, I decided to share some of the not-so-glams, but it’s still memorable.

By the way, no decoration involved….

The Haggling Session begins..

It was a guaranteed fun session with the cheeky and creative bridesmaids and jie meis.

Heart Breaking Moments Caught on Camera

My mom couldn't hold her tears anymore when I whispered, "This song is for you" while Serene sang "Mother How Are You Today". It was her favorite song. Priceless.

My mother is not the emo type. She is one of the most independent women I’ve met in my life. She detests crying in public, so she always avoid sensitive topics. But this moment caught her off-guard.

Thank you, Wansheng for your good instinct. That’s why we hired him.

We had our little "sister-conflict" and was resolved as soon as usual.

Drama!! Where's the ribbon???Just use this one!

No wedding is perfect without the drama behind it.

FUNNY – CANDID – MOMENTS

this is a good contrast...

Wow.. so many good pictures! I will slowly post by their category..

She says: Confession of a Paperholic

Yesterday was Earth Day (22 April). I wouldn’t brag about being a green person looking at the amount of earth-damage I contributed in my wedding alone. The most-used element in my wedding is paper. I have to confess. I love paper, a  lot. I love stationery since I was young. The main element of my outdoor decoration is paper. I bought almost all aqua paper from Popular to do the paper rosettes and envelope liners.

and the tiffany boxes..

Well at least our letterpress invitation is made of 100% cotton paper (that is why.. they cost a bomb!)

We still have a menu for each person and displays for guest signing.

At least we try to redeem ourselves by designing them neatly so the guests won’t throw it away right after the party (or I hope so).

For the eco-bride, here are some tips from our friend at National Parks Singapore :

• Hold your wedding in a park or garden
• Use single layer invitation cards printed on recycled paper, treeless paper made from bamboo or other materials, or better yet, use e-invitations to reduce paper wastage
• If using disposable tableware, choose biodegradable products
• Encourage your guests to car-pool or van-pool
• Choose a caterer that is familiar with the venue to avoid any damage to the site during their setup or teardown
• Select wedding favors that are useful for your guests to minimise throwaways
• Consider using pre-owned items (e.g. wedding gown, decorations) for your wedding
• Decorate your wedding venue with potted plants that you can use again to decorate your home instead of fresh cut flowers where possible
• Source for local flowers and plants to decorate the wedding venue to minimise resources used in transporting them
• Setup a gift registry to minimise unwanted gifts
• Let your guests know to avoid giving congratulatory cards but instead sign their best wishes on your wedding guestbook.
• Request for guests to donate towards an environmental cause
• Request for cleaners at the venue to separate recyclable items from those that are not and dispose them accordingly
• Avoid shark’s fin in your menu
• Avoid the use of confetti

He says: Wedding Parttaaayyyy!!!

People who knows me, will know that I am an introvert. Quiet, unassuming… … NOT!

OK, so I am not that quiet, but I am no party animal too. But one thing I really like, is when the wedding is a spirited one, when everyone enjoys themselves and show it. Generally Singaporean weddings are formal and simple, and partying is kept at a minimum. Indonesian weddings are grand, but also too formal for me. What charms me most about Western wedding is the feeling of celebration. Maybe it is because we are Asian, but that does not mean we can’t have fun. Below are some nice party photos from Western weddings:

Bride is in the Spotlight here!

These people look wasted....

Nobody nobody but You!... when you are not Korean and you are not pretty gals...
