The Origami Of My Dream Wedding

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

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.

Looking Your Best On Your Wedding Day

Who doesn’t want to look their best on their wedding day?  After all, you only have 1 wedding in your lifetime (that is what we all hope).  I’m no different from any other woman in the world and even though I’m having my wedding after having a child, it is still one of the most important days in my life.  Besides the photography and the wedding ceremony and the reception that must turn out perfect, the bride (yours truly) must also look vibrant and confident.

What could be better than to check out a Los Angeles non surgical face lifts, right?  I know, I know, the man is gonna say I love you just the way you are, but you have to take charge this moment because this is YOUR day after all.  No one looks at the groom, everyone’s eyes are on the bride. So as a bride-to-be you can imagine the stress I am facing and to be able to deliver, why not choose an affordable and absolutely painless (in my humble opinion) procedure to boost that already worn and stressed out brides confidence. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles and makes you look absolutely radiant for your big day and all those wonderful photos you will want to hand down for the rest of your life.  Take charge of your life, take charge of that special day.

Tan Yoong

I was really young.. when i heard of Tan Yoong.  He is a very elusive man.. i think I had only seen him once .. and even during magazines interviews.. you still donch see him.  Tan Yoong’s collection is also mystical and dreamy to me.  But he is almost stuck in the 80s at one point  .. in my humble opinion.  But looking at his wedding collection, you cannot help but stay in awe and fascination with all the styles he has.

I could see myself in this gown and i’m sure.. it is a popular one.  So pretty .. the back in translucent sheer lace.  But you can expect to pay premium dollars for Tan Yoong’s design, afterall, he is the top designer in town.  Evening dresses can be found in Tan Yoong’s boutique.

More Bridal Gowns

Look what i found..??  more gowns to choose from..! awesome..!! more choices.. before i finally decide what i want to wear.  Prices are really cool too.  At $500 .. i don’t think anywhere is cheaper than this.  Actually, i find it amazing.. that i have so many choices… back home.. the bridal shops get upset with you .. if you so much as decide to rent instead of buying.  I’m gonna check out Tan Yoong from back home, and compare prices for you to see .. in my next stop.  In the meantime, I also found these awesome wigs for my bachelorette party.

Can you imagine everyone wearing a wig like that for your bachelorette party.. ?? how fun is that..??

Fitting Into Your Wedding Dress

The clock is ticking.. and I know i don’t really have much time left before the final fitting for the wedding dress.  Are you in a panic mode like I am now..??   Stressed..?? well.. don’t be .. you already have a lot on your plate.. and your mind.. i know.  The man is a YES man currently.. and everything you ask him.. he just say “Yes, dear” and I know that can be really frustrating.

So yes.. you wanna make sure you can fit into your wedding dress.  Afterall, you want the dress and the wedding to be perfect right..? So now is the time.. where we have to watch what we eat right..?  Yes..!! right now..!! not tomorrow.. nor after this weekend.. but right now.  Well.. don’t starve yourself though… get into a routine.. on a food plan .. that works well with you .. afterall, eating health is always the way to go right.

If you are anything like me, you need a gym to do your workout at least twice a week.  Working those flabby arms.. or flabby thighs.. and keeping fit and working on those stamina is important.  For the wedding takes a few days.. and a whole day of activities.  Ok.. I better start working on getting into my wedding dress now.

Something New, Something Old, Something Borrowed & Something Blue

So they say.. you need something new.. something old .. something borrowed.. and something blue.. for your wedding..??  I’ve heard about this.. for a long, long time.. even before my sister got married. So here i’m wondering.. why did this good old tradition mean..??  When I asked the man.. about it.. he answered..  “how would I know..??  yer the woman..!! “   MEN..!!!

Anyway.. this tradition is actually meant.. to bring the bride some good luck.  With each of the required things.. they are meant to represent something different.. for the bride .. and for the years to come.  It should be easily incorporated into the wedding gown.  Even though this tradition is old.. they are something that brides of today… still do.. during their wedding.. as far as I know.

So how do one find all the above..?? And what i chose .. to use for my own wedding.

Something old : I choose to use a necklace that was given to me by my mom to be worn.. during my wedding ceremony.

Something new : I will have a new piece of pearl bracelet to go with my necklace.. during the wedding ceremony.. because it symbolizes a new start of our life together.

Something borrowed : A pearl earring borrowed from a girlfriend.. who had a very successful marriage for the last 40 yrs.

Something Blue :  A light blue garter was what i was told to get.. and that must be the easiest.

To Honeymoon or Not To HoneyMoon

Yes..!! i get asked a lot these day .. about the honeymoon.  The wedding is already costing us a small fortune.. therefore to spend another $2K on the honeymoon.. it might just break our bank.  We had planned our wedding to be a non-financial burden to us.. so if it is gonna cost us a lot more than we can afford..  i think we might just do away with the honeymoon.

A lot of younger couple are gonna just splurge .. because they think it is a once in a lifetime thingie.. and i cannot agree more.. but for us.. i rather not begin our life with debt.  I think in any relationship.. to start of with putting the man in debt is a definitely no-no, in fact, I had seen many marriages break.. because of financial disagreeement.  I mean if your spouse was making a lot of money.. sure ..!! go for it.. but if you are not.. you know what i mean.  Don’t get pressurized into doing what others think is right.. because they don’t know your financial situation.

Wedding Colors

I was told .. that a wedding color has to be choosen for my wedding.  Now here i thought.. i chose a beach theme right..?? so shouldn’t that be enough.??  hhahaha!! well.. i was wrong.. a theme and wedding color are two very different thing.  I have so many colors i like.. but i loved pastel colors.. so i told my bridesmaid.. pastel.. anything pastel is what i would do ..  :)   I love the paper lantern.. and i’m on a mission to find it.. and if i can’t find similar .. i’m gonna buy plain ones from the dollar store.. and get some friends who are good with handicraft.. tohelp me.. with the butterflies.  Awesome..!! and that shouldn’t cost too much money.. i would think.
