Lea Salonga: Two Words

Lea Salonga sang 'Two Words' at her wedding as her wedding vow. Absolutely touching and actually watched it a few times. Her voice is just so angelic, can imagine why her husband broke down in tears a few times. :)

Flower Girls

Have you noticed that children are generally excluded from formal wedding events unless it's held at home. It's such a shame as they bring such enjoyment and the 'cute' factor to the day especially their super adorable dresses  though I would advise that ground rules will need to be set to avoid tantrum moments. Plus, they give the photographers much candid moments to snap. All together now, "Awwwww" :)

Wonderful Graffiti

I love graffiti. Especially if it's paired with a beautiful bridal gown or possibly a fun, casual pre-wedding photo shoot with your loved ones. It allows the couple to be more relaxed and be themselves in such surroundings.

Hair Inspiration: the Long & Short of it

The most important thing to remember is not to go overboard with wedding hairstyles. You still want to look like “you” on your special day hence dress your hair up so it reflects your personality. The “natural” days of plain straight hair are over as today’s bride looks for more creativity, more fun, more beauty, and more individuality.  And a little hair bling helps to give that extra sparkle. :)

Be Inspired: Green fingers!

I love the bouquets, so fresh and chic!

Wishing Tree

How about breaking away from the traditional guest book and consider using a wishing tree as an alternative. Guests leave their well-wishes for the couple on a small tags which can be hung on the tree. It's dramatic and so simple to do.

Be Inspired: Parasols

I just love umbrellas! There's nothing like a prop to bring out a woman's inner diva. Though the traditional bouquet is the bride's best friend, fun-loving brides are now reaching for parasols and umbrellas to set off their feminine charm; not to mention they look great in photographs. Alternatively, they can make great wedding decor. Check it out!

I heart Cuppycakes!

Have you ever thought of using cupcakes as a wedding save the date? After all, who wouldn't welcome and love this yummy-licious alternative. Well, wait no more as Cupcake Chic is now offering such services. Though the idea might not be too feasible for the typical large Asian weddings hence more for intimate affairs or possibly to limit to special friends and immediate family.

My Fair Lady

Audrey Hepburn was an iconic beauty of the 60s and I just love her timeless style and her movies (especially My Fair Lady). Her words are a constant inspiration to me and am sharing with one quote that I feel will inspire any brides especially when you feel a little overwhelmed amidst your wedding planning.

"For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things,
Have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
And redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
You will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others"
