Found all these accessories at our local store. Great for wedding cakes .. and anything to do with decorating the cake. They do have quite a few toppers to choose from. And quite affordable too.

More wedding cake toppers.

For those who wants to make their own cake.. this can be rented.. i think.

Alot of baking accessories for the wedding.

Dresses For The Flower Girl

Posted on Jun 21, 2008 under Gown | No Comment

I liked this dress for the flower gals.. but they are a little bit too long of my liking.. and i would prefer to have it in pinkish color.. so i’m gonna continue looking out for it.
And if i cannot find anything better.. i’ll just have to order this.. but they are not cheap at all. The fabrics are satin and organza used.. and crystal beading edges for the square neckline with cap sleeves. A-line organza skirt. Dress for the flower gals.. can be bought at Bridal shops in Toronto.

My Dream Wedding Gown

Posted on Jun 19, 2008 under Gown | No Comment

I don’t want an elaborate gown.. for I am not young nor am i very skinny .. but I don’t like white either.. makes me look like a snowman. So my hunt is on still..!

This one is really nice and simple.. with chiffon used and empire waist .. and beaded band. Love the double spaghetti straps.. but don’t like the plunging neck line because i have really nothing much to show.. plus I am also not as tall. Trumpet skirt with a slight train..  is very nice.. because it gives one a flowery flowing kinda feel.. so when you are walking around .. and greeting your guests.. you don’t have to walk awkward .. and feel like a penguin. Too long a train .. is just crazy..!

Choosing The Wedding Cake

Posted on Jun 16, 2008 under Cake/Food | 1 Comment

A great wedding cake is very important in a wedding reception. And since i am having my wedding outdoor.. and during the summer.. i want something of course not expensive.. but bright in color.. and stand out. And something that my guests would remember.. for a long time. I’ve attended weddings .. where the wedding cakes were pathetic..!! i didn’t even eat them.

My wedding cake needs to be affordable, pretty .. but gotta be chocolate cake inside..! This wedding cake is from Layers Wedding Cakes In Halifax Nova Scotia. They offer many flavor, like Chocolate, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, Marble, Luscious Lemon, Red Velvet, and more. The fillings for the cake can be Buttercream, Madagascar Vanilla, Lemon, Raspberry and Strawberry.

Cupcakes are becoming more and more popular .. i wonder if i should choose cupcakes instead.. afterall.. they are easier to distribute to the guests eh. This is from Sweet Celebration Wedding Cakes in Ontario. I wished they would put a price on their website.. that way .. one can kind find out … what they have to spend on their wedding cake.

For Me Or For Show..??

Posted on Jun 13, 2008 under Musing | No Comment

So I asked myself..  is the wedding for me.. or for show..??  Hell..!! i’m sure the man wants to do away with it.. if possible.. and just get a marriage license.. and that’s it.. but i wanted a wedding.  So who am i showing to..?? since my family ain’t here.. neither are my friends.

I think I want this wedding because of my daughter.  How would you like your daughter to grow up.. stay with a man.. and have a kid.. and not be married..?? or wear a wedding gown.. ??? or announced to the world.. the happy occasion..??  We have to show by example right..??

Not Too Girlie Or Pink Please..!

Posted on Jun 07, 2008 under General Info, Musing, The Man | No Comment

When you are planning a wedding.. we all know it is about you .. the woman.. but you really have to make sure.. to remember to think for the man as well.  Too pink.. or too girlie.. may not be something he is gonna enjoy alot.

So while you are happily planning the wedding of a lifetime.. remember.. put in something manly as well. Choose colors that are not too, too awkward for him.. and in those pictures.  Pink or red is great.. but imagine.. your spouse in a tu-tu dress.. and you’ll know what i mean. Just my 2 cents worth.

Starfish Candle Holder

I can’t resist this candle holder as a wedding favor .. i know the ladies would love it.. but what about the men.. that comes for our wedding..?? Minimum of 24 to order.. at $2.49 a piece. So what kinda wedding favor is great for both men and women..?? or should i go about getting different ones..??

Chinese Wedding Doll

Posted on Jun 03, 2008 under Decorations, Theme | No Comment

A friend sent a chinese wedding doll to me.. all the way from asia.. after knowing that I am having my wedding next summer. Very cute. .and very traditional.. and on one hand.. i wished to have a chinese wedding.. but on the other.. i know it is not possible.. because getting a “kwa” would be very expensive.  The traditional “kwa”, is a heavily embroidered formal wedding gown popular in Asia.. said only to be worn once in one’s lifetime.

This is how a traditional kwa looks like.  Something like that can cost right up to $800 or more.   But the details of the kwa is extraordinary.  i’m torn in between now.. if i should go with an evening gown.. or a traditional one…??

The HoneyMoon

Posted on Jun 01, 2008 under Honeymoon | No Comment

Everyone had been asking about our Honeymoon.. as to where we are going..?  Now the problem isn’t where we have to go. .moreso .. do we want to bring the brat along..??   I don’t really want to go back to Asia for a honeymoon.. i want somewhere relaxing. .and somewhere that is not expensive.. and i don’t have to worry about food for the brat.  Sun and the sea is good.. and it would be fun to fly.  Any suggestions..?
