Our Big Day Part 1

Finally had some time to complete the post on our big day ^^

 

Day 1

 

The night before I spent tossing and turning till it was time for me to get up @ 4am. Took a shower before Yuki (Singapore's MUA) arrives. Benny, the videographer arrived early too and started video-ing away.

J arrived in Singapore from Johor at 5.30am, a whole hour earlier than expected! So he and groomsmen went to McD to have their breakfast while it was a mad rush at my place haha..

 

While I was doing my makeup, the girls were preparing the gatecrash games with my mum and aunties busy preparing the food for relatives and my Teochew breakfast.

 

Feeling super nervous while trying to practice my thank you speech in Chinese for that night's dinner in Johor! -.-

Ta-dah! My specially made floral bouquet from Fiorella! Isn't it pretty? :D

Done with my makeup! Love how Yuki always does my hairstyle and makeup. She's the same MUA for my pre-wedding shoot. All my guests and family members love her work :D

And yes, a compulsory selfie while waiting for the groom to enter :P

The prompt arrival of my groom! He looked so awkward in front of the camera haha.

Games played:
 

 1. 酸甜苦辣 welcome drink

2. Guess which lipstick mark belongs to me 

Forfeit for not guessing correctly: Form the word YOGA with their body

3. Blindfold makeup session

4. Write a song in 1 minute and sing it out loud

Done with the not-so-torturing games! Didn't want him to perspire @ all thus the easy-peasy games, not because I heartache for him haha..

 

Ah Kok, the photographer was so hilarious, he made us do lots of silly old school/cliche poses haha..

Making good time, we headed for Johor. Took less than 2 hours to reach his house. To side track, I really didn't like the car decor, too retro... 

After the prayers and tea ceremony, we treated his relatives to lunch at a simple restaurant before heading back to rest for an hour. Zombie-fied! My eyes were so puffy and dark circles were looming scarily, so sad that the make up couldn't cover it!

 

Arrived early at Restoran Pekin, mingled around with the guests and spot-checked the venue haha.. Do you like the rosette table number?! Gotten the idea from Pinterest and decided to DIY! Most of the hardwork goes to J and my mum, they painstakingly sewed the numbers onto the rosette! *love*

First time cutting a dummy cake, so hilarious! By the way, J and our aisle bridal coordinator coined my gown as the Frozen dress. J was joking that kids will be dancing and singing 'Let it go' around me -.-

The first of 2 celebration ended at 11pm. Exhausted but super excited about the next day because J and I placed lots of effort in organzing it so that it will have the super romantic feel and I get to have the whole venue in my chosen colour theme :D

Love Nest: ID Selection

After ding-dong for 2 to 3 months, we finally decided on the ID company for our house renovation. We selected this company called Starry Homestead. They are located at 140 Paya Lebar Road, AZ @ Paya Lebar Building.

 

Chose them amongst tonnes of ID companies because of their portfolio and our rapport with the ID. We are mainly overhauling the kitchen and 2 bathrooms, doing up a feature wall and black frame for the kitchen area as for the other areas of the house, it will be just purely be hacking of cornices & false ceiling, rectifying some existing issues and painting.

 

We had such a headache when the ex-owner shifted all their furnitures away! We noticed lots of horrid problem with the house, the house was so poorly maintained and rectifying it, eats into our budget. Geez!!!! Oh well nvm, let's move on..

 

The package we signed with the ID was under $38K. Another lump sum after the wedding -.- '''

The renovation will be starting in 2 weeks, hopefully everything will be smooth..
Will update with some photos of the renovation progress and review on the ID!

Fiorella: Florally Bespoked

Gifted.

A word that I would use to describe my friend of 15 years.

A search for happiness amidst her stressful job, made her reflect and brought to light that her love for painting, aesthetically beautiful things and colour coordination, can be used to her advantage. When she was planning for her wedding, she seeked online resources for wedding inspiration and chanced upon many beautiful bouquets which were not readily sold at florists or bridal boutique. And yes, Eureka! She found her sanctuary was in floral arrangements. Took up lessons from various florists in Singapore and through trial and error, mastered her own style of floral arrangements (classic, elegant and natural looking) and thus founding Fiorella.

 

Here are some of her flowers that customers have ordered:

Isn't the floral arrangements and colour combination insanely beautiful? More updated photos can be found on Facebook.com/fiorellabouquet or Instagram.com/fiorellabouquet

 

Despite just starting Fiorella less than a year ago, her flowers have been very well-received by many. She specializes in everyday bouquets and bridal bouquets. Additional wedding services such as corsages, car décor and venue décors are also available.

 

And yes of course, my bridal bouquet and J's boutonneire (worn for Singapore's banquet) were definitely from Fiorella :D  Apologies, my camera doesn't do the flowers justice, will show more when the photographer send me the AD photos :)

 

P.S. thanks to my dearest dearest friend for creating such an awesomely beautiful bouquet for me, I love it to death!

 

If you are interested to order some insanely beautiful flowers for any occasions, she can be contacted @ lovefiorellabouquet@gmail.com or +65-9179-6689.

ROM: 1 step closer to being a Mrs

 

Collected our ROM cert few days ago and went for the marriage prep class after. The prep class was really interesting and we even have thoughts to sign up for the full course haha.

 

When we collected our cert, we had to do our oaths, and it was so awkward because there were other couples in the next cubicle -.- Oh ya and since it's SG50, they gave a special cert holder that has a velvety feel..

In Search for Our Love Nest

After 1 year of house searching and balloting, we managed to find a place relatively suitable to call HOME! It's a 5 room resale unit in the East :)

 

We had our 1st appointment with HDB few weeks ago, it was a real fun experience haha..



First Appt with HDB



After the wedding, we will be busy with the home renovation and furniture search, stressful but exciting :D

 

Do follow us on our journey to building our Love Nest!
