Prom Night, Prom Dresses

Posted on Jan 13, 2009 under General Info, Gown, Theme, Useful Tips, Wardrobe | No Comment

While I’m busy preparing for our wedding, our babysitter is busy with her Prom night preparations.  I know how important it is to her and all her friends graduating Grade 12 this year because most of them are moving away and pursuing their studies in different parts of Canada.  While my wedding is important, I know it is only right to help my babysitter who has been working for us for the last 4 yrs to not only get the perfect dress but be able to choose from a wide variety of prom dresses at affordable prices.

Yes, we do have a bridal store in town that does prom dresses as well, but I don’t blame the babysitter for having second thoughts because every dress she picked would cost her a hefty sum.  Sure it is an important night with all sorts of excuses to spend close to $600 on a dress, but if one had other choices and had seen those lovely creations of prom dresses Jovani, I bet she would drop the other prom dress without a second thought. Prices with this label are competitive with the local store here but the flare of the design on these prom dresses is extraordinary.  The colors of the fabrics used are glamorous and bold, it shouts to the world “LOOK AT ME HERE!”  and isn’t that the aim of any girls attending their graduation prom?

Having said that, one can get their prom dresses online and save at least 50% of what they would pay back home.  Ordering them online isn’t that difficult, nor needs Einstein to help.  Of course, I can understand you are worried about the right fitting but even if you buy them in a shop, you don’t get the right fitting all the time.  Any local tailor can help you fit it if there is any flaw and with the money saved you can easily afford that.

It’s awesome to look at so many prom dresses and prom advice can be found on Promgirl.net, any questions that you might have concerns about, you can check out their FAQ section or speak to a live customer service rep.  Wondering why you don’t have to pay so much? Afraid the quality may not be so good? Well rest assured that because of their unique set up online and low overhead unlike a retail store, they are able to pass along the savings to you.  Shipping is quick and you get to track your prom dress till it reaches your door.  Pretty neat in my opinion and yes, you can pay by all major credit cards and there’s where you rope in your moms and dads to come see what you found.  Well, I’ve shared my findings with you so Happy graduation and Happy Prom Night!

This dress is at $49 and can be worn even after one’s prom.  You can’t go wrong with a $49 blow out sale dress.  What are you waiting for?

Marrying Again..??

Posted on Jan 11, 2009 under Cheong Sam, Gown, Musing, Wardrobe | 1 Comment

In the chinese cultural .. woman who were married before.. and divorced or became a widow.. is slighted .. when they wanna get married again.  My sister.. who was married once.. but didn’t have a proper wedding .. decided to have one during her second marriage. For her, it wasn’t even the slightest worry because her then future mother in law didn’t know she was married before.  Had she known.. i’m sure.. she wouldn’t get a wedding dinner and all (that was the culture) back home.  But she didn’t wear a wedding dress.. now a red “kwa” .. but she was in a cheong sum during her wedding dinner.

So what are your thoughts about those who are marrying again .. for the second time..?? or for those like myself.. who already have a kid with the man.. and only getting married now..??  Strange as it might seems to some.. but getting into the whole process .. of a white wedding and all.. is it necessary..??  As a mother to a young daughter.. i am of course, like all other mums.. and want to see my daughter get properly married.  But for myself.. truth be told.. a lot of folks will agree .. that we can dispense of all the novelty.. and the commotion.  What are your thoughts.. ?? about marrying again situation .. or those who already have kids with the man..??  Practicality versus — ??

Diet Your Way Into Your Wedding Dress

I don’t know about other women out there but I became really complacent lately, even to the extent of being lazy, and would eat just about anything and not worry about how much weight I put on or how I looked once the spouse and I became comfortable with each other.  My only consolation is that I don’t like fried food or sweets, so desserts or junk food is pretty much out.  But we all know that a lot of us are so used to fried food, and the greasier the better.

You and I want to fit into our wedding dresses though right?  Yes, you do!  So where does one start? A no food diet? A vegetable diet? Or a fruit diet? Or some even go for the carb diet? Yes, everyone swears up and down and high and low that their diet works.  But a diet that works for someone else may not work for you, so a little research is necessary, that is where Diet Review comes in, it’s the place to go to for honest reviews to help you decide whether Food Network Chef Ellie Krieger’s healthy living, customized plans are suitable for you.  Or maybe exercising the way Denise Austin believes in is your way of fitting into that dream wedding dress of yours.  Don’t forget the Duke Diet that helps you to think positively and encourages only a healthy approach towards weight loss.  Free diet evaluation and information at your finger tips.  So if you wanna get into your wedding dress you now know where to find the right diet.

Be Nice To Your Bridesmaids

Posted on Dec 23, 2008 under Bridal Gang, Bridal Store, Gown, Musing, Theme, Wardrobe | No Comment

So how many bridesmaids are you having for your wedding..??  i’m not having very much because i don’t have very much friends or relative here.  I had chosen three friends to be my bridesmaids but hang on a minute.. how would you expect your bridesmaids to dress up like..??  are you to tell them what you want them to wear.. or are you getting something for them..  without even consulting them..??

Since mine is a beach wedding .. almost anything that is not so formal goes.  Casual smart is also another good line to go with.  And you really want to be nice to your bridesmaid right..??  and I also wanted everyone to be happy, therefore i picked a color that i know will go with the theme of my wedding.. and that pastel colors.. which means pretty much .. any pastel color.  And my bridesmaids can pick their own style of dresses they want to wear.. whether it meant a halter, a strapless or with spaghetti straps.  So there you go.. i made everyone happy including myself.  Now do one pay for your bridesmaids dresses..??  I’ll let you know in another post later.

More Wedding Dresses

Kit & Kaboodle Bridal Place was where I found this for another choice for wedding clothes. Priced at $500 a piece.. i think it is really a steal.  But the difference between here and home.. is you have to buy it.. and you are not able to rent it.  So what do one do after wearing something like this once for your wedding..??

The also do wedding decorations and its accessories .. but no catering .. the owner said… “thank you very much”  I guess it is tough to do the dresses .. the decor.. and plus the catering eh.  Donch blame them at all.

Very pretty indeed for a young bride.

More decor for your dream 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..!
