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.

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.

Kit & Kabundle Boutique

Good bridal stores are hard to come by.  Most that I had come across are those who are so ready to push you a sale but Kit & Kabudle Boutique, located in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia is not only your friendly bridal store.. but a store that does your daughter’s prom and son’s tuxedo for his prom nite.

Wedding dresses and accessories and other wedding knick-knacks that you might need for your perfect wedding.  And according to owner Tia - Maria Pitman, you do not need to spend a lot for your dream wedding, there are ways to go about and around it.. and it can be just as beautiful.

What a beautiful dress right..??

Simple yet elegant.

Wedding Decor

More wedding decor found at our local bridal store .. just opposite our business.  Kit and Kaboodle Bridal .. they do all sorts of bridal decor .. and wedding dresses.  You would do well .. talking to the owners.. for they are really friendly .. and insightful.

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.

Dream Ring

I used to think that i would get the Lazare diamond for my wedding, like the die-die must get kinda attitude. But that was because i was so young .. and only want everything to be the most expensive.. and most hype.  Well.. not until i saw this ring .. from Cartier and it is not even expensive to begin with.  But alas, I wore this even before my wedding.. but for those looking for a ring.. you might find this rather charming.

Evening Gown

What a pretty evening gown eh..?  This color is really pretty.. not red or pink.. but light maroon in color.  Plus look at all the sequins, they are really nice .. not too much .. and not too little.  I will try and take a picture of it .. from the front.  It was much too windy yesterday.. i didn’t wanna go out.. and take a picture in the wind. The evening gown is good even for prom dresses.. and not just weddings.  At $500 .. i think it is definitely a lot cheaper than in Asia.
