Ring size - Tips for Engagement rings and Wedding Bands

A professional jeweler can determine proper ring size using a set of steel gauge-rings. These "ring sizers" come in narrow and wide widths. Other methods, such as measuring the finger with a strip of paper, or slipping the finger through pre-cut "measuring holes", are inaccurate. A wider band can be worn more loosely. Large knuckles/hands should wear a slightly loose ring, while slimmer knuckles/smaller hands will require a tighter ring. A good way for a "rough-and-ready" measurement is to find a ring that is just smaller than the second knuckle of the finger. This way the fit is comfortable but will not slide off the finger. The method of trying on a ring and shaking the hand violently, to see if the ring comes off. Tips: (1) Fingers change over the course of the day. It has been recommended that fingers be measured at the end of the day, when they are at their largest diameters. Heat makes fingers thicker. Cold makes fingers thinner. (2) Midda...

Grand Park Hotel - Actual Wedding Review

Attended my cousin's wedding at Grand Park Hotel in December 2009. In my earlier write up on Grand Park Hotel wedding show, i raved about the pretty and pillarless ballroom. The nice reception and the nice bridal suite. For recap, please see here . This is an actual wedding review particularly on the food and service during this dinner. The reception table for receiving guests is pretty and bright. The reception area in its full glamour. For the dinner, red and gold is chosen for the VIP table and gold for all other guests. The ballroom decoration is similar to my visit previously so no pictures are shown on the ballroom for the night. I like the ambience of the ballroom before the wedding. Give's one a feeling of anticipation huh? During the dinner reception, canapes and some light snacks are served. I like the pretty mocktail. Nice to drink and a very good appetiser. The spotlight on the newlyweds during wedding dinner. And with that LET'S GET THE PARTY...

The Love Story

This may appear to look like a wedding MTV. But in actual fact this is a actual day wedding video. The videographer has done a very good job. I really like the interaction between the wedding couple as well as the family member. It is very touching. And make me feel like falling in love again. Too bad the videographer is from Shanghai. Awwwww~

Floral handmade ring flower

Came upon this handmade ring flower that can hold rings. Lemming for it to be my wedding ring holder now. I love the little attention to details and personalisation (names & dates can be printed). Also, good for a surprise proposal. How i wish my boyfriend did the same! This can be found at http://emersonmade.com/

The unique ring bearer

Rather than a common ring pillow, why not consider using a ring bowl. This can be a celebration plate and a customised ring plate. You can tie with it like a normal ring pillow with ribbons. After the wedding, you can place your jewellery or keys. One item with multiple usage. photo from lovegrowsbygiving Where to buy? Go to Esty and search: ring bowls.

Mannequin Balloons

Life size bride and groom made from balloons. Table size balloons. Some ideas i gathered from Park Hotel Wedding Show. A arch made from balloons for the bridal march in. But i think a mannequin balloons is cuter.
