My Solitaire Wedding

Visited a bridal show "Brides & Beauty" on 15 August 2009. There was no crowd at the wedding show. Woah! I was quite surprised. The focus of this wedding show is mainly skincare, gowns, photography. The skincare shops are not big brand names but mainly of those neighbourhood shops. I must say i'm quite dissappointed. I previewed the portfolio of Coffee and Tea Dreamworks. They provide animation, videography and photography services. The photos are nice except they seem unable to confirm the photographer with me for my actual day. And their special promotion is the Live Feed for the bride's viewing on actual day. The highlight of the day is the showcase of wedding gowns by various boutiques. Below are some snapshots. The gowns that i like From Bridal show This gown from la belle couture is really alluring.

The entrance of the hotel And how i love the spiral staircase. I can just imagine a dramatic shot at the staircase wearing a super long train. Themes The hotel does not have any specific themes. It more of customising the stage decor, table settings and floral arrangements with available selection. Personally, i favour the ballroom decorations which exudes quiet elegance and sophistication. Below is an actual wedding setup when i visited.

www.H88.com.sg This is the homepage for homes. Reviews on newly launched or upcoming condominiums and HDBs are reviewed in this website. The reviews though based on judgements are actually quite straightforward and in my opinion unbiased. Relevant insights, analysis and sometimes caution the potential house buyer on the current booming market. The reviewers actually put themselves in the shoes of a consumer and hence a more impartial view with minimal conflict of interest. The review tinged with dark humour is also a good read.
