Flower Power!

I always have loved flowers.. loved receiving flowers during special occasions, be it birthday, valentines' day or anniversary..

I am very pleased with all the floral arrangements we had for our wedding.. from our PS in USA till our actual wedding day..


Pre-wedding (I)
Plum calla lillies, black magic roses and pink orchids

Blogged about our pre-wedding bridal bouquet before we set off to US.. AH is super in love with this bouquet of flowers and is one of the most expensive bunch of flowers he has ever bought in his life..We loved the unique plum calla lilies as those calla lilies that we've seen in Singapore are the boring white/yellow ones.. 


Pre-wedding (II)
Green Cymbidium orchids, baby breath and hypericum

When our florist sent us a photo of the bouquet he got the inspiration, we were not impressed by how the flowers look.  They kind of pale in comparison with our US PS bouquet, which is more vibrant in color.  But we were "wowed" by it when we saw in on the day of our PS.. Never feel greenish looking flowers are so pretty! AH always gives me pink or red flowers throughout our courtship, since pink is my all time fave color.. The red hypericum has a 画龙点睛effect..


AD car floral arrangement
Hot pink rose, pink tiger lilies and ivy leaves

AD hand bouquet
Hot pink roses, white roses, white freesia and ivy leaves

I LOVE MY AD FLOWERS!! Hot pink has been the color of my life.. Almost everything that I owned is hot pink in color.. Love the vibrancy of hot pink! My AD hand bouquet is a cascading bouquet & its the first time ever that I'm having such floral arrangement.. The bouquet is really huge compared to the standard hand bouquet.. And I have to be constantly reminded to hold it in the right orientation.. Oh ya, my nephew loves the ivy leaves coming out from the bouquet that he conveniently pulled one of leaves out during our family shoot.

Gel Nails

I love my bridal nails!!

Its a simple and not over bearing with lots of crystals.. a very me design.. with my favorite pink glitter pink + flowers + crystals.. To add on, I'm very proud to say..

THEY ARE MY REAL NAILS!! no extensions this time..

Miss to Mrs

It's coming to 3 weeks since we've gotten married..

Still trying to get used to:
- wearing the wedding band on my left 4th finger, used to be wearing our couple ring on right 4th finger
- calling our parents "pa" and "ma"
- staying at his place & adjusting my traveling time to work/church etc
- staying in-between my parents' and his house.. my stuff are separated into 2 locations.. feels very lost when some days I feel like wearing a certain top to work and to realize its at his house..
- calling AH "my husband" instead of "boyfriend".. can't blame me hor.. I've been addressing him as my "boyfriend" for the past 11 years.. and its only 3 weeks since we've been married..
- people calling me "MRS".. sounds damn old! [good thing that most of my colleagues and all my students doesn't know I'm married.. so happily calling me "MISS"]

Childhood Montage

Finally had the time to upload our childhood montage.. The resolution is kind of low cause I didn't rip it off the dvd, used the one that Winson emailed instead..

Background music: Taylor Swift - Love Story

I loved how the background music blends in with the story line.. I have to admit that my acting and narration skills sucks.. Nevertheless, enjoyed the whole process of filming (minus the part that I was bitten by mosquitoes at Thye Kheng Gardens)..

There was a hiccup during the banquet.. This video was supposed to show before we came in for first march-in.. But somehow the hotel staff mixed this up with the pre-wedding photo montage.. They thought that we supposed to come in once the pre-wedding photo montage ends.. Despite this they managed to play it once the first dish was served.. Oh well one good point is that we could see how our guests react when we watched the video together with them..

I'm glad that our guests enjoyed the video as much as we do.. Enjoy :)

Same Day Edit

I love my SDE!!!



I was so touched by AH when he started crying the moment my dad walked me down the aisle.. It has been really a long journey for both of us (11 years) & I thought that he would react as per normal since he is the most unromantic man I've ever known.. And he was so caught up preparing for our AD and also have not prepared his thank-you speech.. Melts my heart totally :)







Background music: 范玮琪 - 最重要的决定

I am so glad that I've overcome my psychological barrier and chosen this song for our SDE... Reason being I thought that using an English song would be more suitable since most of the friends we knew are English-speaking.. The first time when I heard this song over the radio, I was already captivated by and then when I watched the SDE of 范范 & 黑人.. I knew right away I'm gonna use this song!  The meaning of this song is so apt for weddings!!! 

Enjoy! :)

GRADUATED!!

Finally the wedding was over and it was AWESOME!

Received great comments on the food, ballroom, layout and decorations of the venue..

Some photos that my PG took with the whole bridal party

Now gotta wait some time for my PG to pass us back our photos.. so EGGCITED!
