Results of Promotion: Bridesmaid/ROM Short Dress

2011-03-03T17:21:00.001+08:00

Congratulations to all Brides-To-Be or Bridesmaids-To-Be, who sing up for IamaBride®'s Special Promotion: Custom Make ROM/Bridesmaid Short Dress for only RM330!

Yes, this promo ended 14 Feb '11. It was such a great deal that many customer can't believe its true~! Just check out what our FB fans said:
Well, my ladies, it so so true... !*^.^*! Just ask these brides who are all in the middle of trying and waiting anxiously to see their very personalized custom make ROM short dress for their wedding registration day~!

*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******

MeiYoong obviously saw our promo in FB and message me to inquiry for her own ROM short dress. She emailed me a sample picture (from the net), saying that she would like her short dress to look sweet and girl-y =) So after we meet, we had abit of sharing n discussion on what design of the dress, the material, the details.... that suits her more, in order to achieve her look.

So I did a few sketches.... and we finally approved on this!

Love the middle ruched idea, so the waist is more define! The cute 'lil satin ribbon bow on the waist, really bring out her sweet n girl-y style =)

Meiyoong's custom make ROM short dress is in progress now! *^.^*
She just did her first fitting with me today and she was so surprised and full with joy that she can't stop smiling! She told me she can't wait to collect her final complete dress till Saturday.
Calm down, Meiyoong...*hihhih... will need to add on some more nice details on your dress first *^.^*

To MeiYoong: I'm so happy that you are so satisfy with your custom make short dress *^.^* See you Saturday! *Bring your new heels!

*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******

Samantha came to me with abit of worry. She was worried about her body size. I confidently gave her the answer: That's is why, we came out with this Custom Make Promotion *^.^*! She said she can't find any pretty ready-made short dress for her wedding registration day. And even she found one, still need to pay an extra to get it alter =( hum....

So I explained to her that custom make, you can choose the design that suits you, like: how you want your chest line to be (heart-shape/tube/off-shoulder...), how you want your sleeves to be (so that it can cover the exposed flesh), how you want your shirt to be (flare/structured/uneven/layered/can-caned....) It's all so flexible *^.^*! Part by part we custom make it.

So after knowing what Samantha's concerns and desire, here's the personal sketch for her:

Love your can-can skirt idea and the frill sleeves *^.^* Liked what we discussed, you can transform this ROM dress to your wedding gown! Hope you'll buy the great idea we proposed.

Yes, talking about the 'transformation' of her short ROM dress into her Wedding Gown! Oh... I think I should reserved this great idea until Samantha really confirm it *^.^* We were both (and of course, Samantha's mom as well) all so excited when my tailor suggested the idea~!!

To Samantha: I'll inform you when your 1st mock of your dress is ready for fitting =) Am excited for you too~!! =)

There you go, some of our sucess stories *^.^* There are a few MORE successful brides who sign up for this great promotion. But due to privacy, I am not to reveal their updates to the public =)
So to all, Thank you for your support and please check on our Facebook for more, More, MORE news and events!

Ann's can't do the same double heart shape (like the one with lights on, at my Seremban stage) becoz the slide will drop down from the middle of the stage. So she keep it clear as it is and decor the stage surronuding with blue n white, big n small flower balloons *^.^*

Wedding Banquet Decorations I Seremban venue

2009-05-18T22:47:00.020+08:00

I had 2 wedding dinner for my wedding, one was at MinKok Restaurant, Seremban (am from Seremban *^.^*) and second one was at Peral Oriental Restaurant, Bukit Jalil, KL (is Halal~!! under Tai Thong group). We booked our venue one YEAR ago~! Kia-shu but we HAD to do this because our AD was a HOT date *^.^* Read more on how me n my hubby did research, found and decided for our wedding venue at: Kathy&Chenseng's wedding banquets-How to

As you read, you'll find a blue-pen sketched balloon decoration's draft. Before that, we didn't know what to do or what do decor our wedding banquet. Here's the story: It all started from our pre-wedding shoots *^.^*. These---->

Yup~! The 2 silver and a pink heart-shape helium balloons *^.^* ˚\˚/˚
Our 'Inspirational' Balloons *^.^*More Behind the scenes of our pre-wedding shoot at:
Kathy and Chenseng's Pre-Wedding Gallery

Me and chenseng bought this 3 helium heart shape balloons from Balloon Bouquet @ Section13, PJ for our Outdoor Pre-wedding photography *^.^* But on our first day of PS, we were unable to shoot outdoor =( coz the sky was cloudy. So the three balloons will need to be refill after one more month for our second PS. We 'flaten' the balloons and just a few days b4 our second PS, we ALMOST forgetten bout these 3 lovely balloons~!! So NOW! where to find the nearest balloon shop (near our house@Seri Petaling here) that can refill HELIUM for our lovely balloons~?? Tak-kan travel all the way to PJ again to refill...so we found Ann's Balloon Academy *^.^* And so as we entred the shop, me and chenseng were amazed by their balloons decoration portfolio~!! So....ta-da! That's how we decided to use balloons as our Wedding banquet Decoration *^.^*
Here are some very nice pictures on my Seremban Banquet's Decorations...(*drum-roll hihihi)

Chang~chang~!! My wedding stage decor with a balloon couple-doll *look sooooo like me n chenseng *^o^* and the HUGE double LOVE with lights~!! So pretty~~

The closeup shoot of the couple-doll: Groom with 'proper' black n white suit PLUS a cute hat *^.^* and blue bow-tie (our colour theme~ hihihi) Bride with REAL veil and blue n white gown (like me~~!! *^.^*) Look closer~~ the groom's hand is actually passing his bride the flower bouquet~~ SUPER CUTE nehh~~~*^.^*

Now Wilfred and Ann even special made 2 balloons' column for the entry of our walk-in:

The 2 very pretty Balloons' Column were in Blue n White and were full with varies of heart-shape helium balloons *^.^*

They even add 'flower' designs balloons here n there at the reception table, on the main door and inside the whole hall, so the whole venue look-like in a Blue and White Theme *^.^*

lAfter we walk-in and were seated infront of the stage
(*eh-hum, of course!*^.^*)
The double LOVE shape balloons is right behind us~! Very nice combination and was such a nice angle of us and the LOVEs *^.^*

The double LOVE shape balloons was Ann's idea and the lights was Wilfred's idea *^.^* Thankyou soooo much for such a creative and presentable set-up~!! Even the lights blink-blink was with the rhytm of our wedding background music~~!! Such a coinsidence and prefect combination~!! After a few dishes, I changed to my special mom-made Qipao for YamSheng (Guest appresiation section). Now, look at the pictures and tell me: Do me n Chenseng look-a-like with the couple-doll wilfred and ann made? Hahahaha...Look-a-like yoy!

Spot the differences~!
Hahahaha.... Real couple vs Balloon couple *^.^*

One more~~ while chenseng poping the champaign for YamSheng.

We seriously really, really, REALLY LOVE the double love shape balloons behind us~!!*^.^*

The 2 column balloons were then brought in and place at both side of the stage.

Cake-cutting ceremony, weee~~ The column balloons matches my Qipao so well *^.^* Lovely~!!
Small pink love (me) surounded by big red love (chenseng) *hihihih

Wedding BedSheets

2009-03-24T17:55:00.012+08:00

As our colour theme is Blue, so we wanted a romantic blue wedding bedsheet. I saw alot of cute cute cartoons and pretty patterns the shops always have. Chenseng is very particular about the quality and comfortableness. While I am VERY particular about the design! I wanted bedsheets with classy flower stitches (not printed!) If got Pheony flower lagi best *^.^*! Not checked, not strips, no cute cartoons, not big or tiny flower prints, not dull shades with dull patterns, not those shinny shinny 'indian silk' type....(*I memang abit fussy, I hav to admit now) Becoz we went research in alot of places. Wow WOw WOW!!

For examples: we went ask Speacialist Centre John Little and Cavelli - quality is SUPERB!They come in nice classy design too! But too too too expensive, can't afford =( (available in SG); Akemi/Jean Perry - can be found anywhere in Jusco/Parkson (be alert of their sales, can go up to 70% or 80% some times *^.^*) Quality is ok but they dun hav higher ThreadCount; Aussino - They have alot of designs but dun quite like their quality. Firenzi - nice quality but limited design/pattern/colour.

So, we went to Metrojaya Midvalley and found Genova Letto. We both caught an eye on this very nice blue shades of bedsheets *^.^*

Genova Letto - Ricardo Edition 600 TC
100% Egyptian Yarn Dyed Jacquard

2 pillow case, 1 booster case, quilt cover, queen size bedsheet
Plus! Free soft quilt with the set *^.^*

This blue one is for our NEWly-wed bedroom *^.^* The red love was my 1st valentine present from Chenseng with a O.D.M watch on it~~!! (hummm....those were the sweet sweet days ~~)
We got this set for 30% discount only... so is around RM420. Then we continue look under the same brand for a redish one. Is for Girl-side, my home town queen size bed too. And we found:

Genova Letto Ricardo Edition 800 TC
Red Orangey colour *^.^*

These set is more expensive becoz is 800 TC!!
Super super comfy, yoy! ~~*^.^*~~
It has very silkly feel~~ Is RM200 more then the previous blue one
*sorry bout the lousy quality of photography here =p used flash

We bought another quilt from IKEA for my Seremban bedset *^.^* So total we spend just ONLY for BED is almost RM1.2k~~!! O.o !!~~ Yes, my friends. So you can choose to go for cheaper onces when the shopping malls is having super sales. But Genova Letto's quality is good *^.^* Thrust me...I'm lying on it now! Hihhihi....

More Proffesionals Photos taken by my AD photographer - Xuen Wedding Photography *^.^* I didn't expect him to took such details =) I'm very glad he and his teamates did! Here are some of my bedsheets and newly-wed room photos **^.^** (Highly recommanded Xuen! If anyone need his contact, let me know ^.^ willing to help and he might give you better offer if u mention me *^.^*) ~happy viewing~

OUR NEWLY-WED BEDROOM ~blue blue~ *^.^*

Love the details on the bedsheets

D.I.Y (X) Wedding Invitation Card III

2009-03-16T23:10:00.017+08:00

Some of us Brides-to-be are mostly English educated so we hav no idea how the chinese version of our wedding invitation card's content goes =( Here a question pop in the post of MB:

And a lot of Brides-to-be are confuse whether the chinese version of their wedding card's content is correct or not. *HEADACHE ler ~~>.<~~

So, I went 'digging' out all the wedding invitation cards I've recieved previously from my frend's wedding... And I found out there are actually a few ways to put those chinese phrases into a nice and polite content. Some examples:

(*to be shown later)

But let me show you how my DIY wedding invitation card looks like *^.^* (especially the inside content part - after much research and text editing by 'professionals' *a-hum Both my Teacher Parents....so here goes! *^.^*

Back cover + Front cover of our Wedding Invitation Card

Back cover: Our names with the Chinese charactor "HEI' - Double Happiness (written by my Daddy *^.^*) as our logo
Front cover: Our wedding photo + Chinese Painting of two Lover Birds on top of the Bloomed Cherry Blossom tree + 2 lines of Chinese Phrases that means "Love at first sight, Companion forever" - by my Daddy *^.^*

Inside content of our Wedding Invitation Card

Hope I can do some help or references here by showing samples of wedding invitation cards for you. More info is coming up...

Today is the Last day of Chinese 'Niu' Year 2009 (*Mooo moooo) and is also the Chinese Valentine's Day *^.^* whereby single ladies will throw mandarin oranges to the lake/river (with their handphone numbers and email address in this 21 century...some even throw watermelon or papaya! So got more space to write their details...hahahaha) and single guys will catch the mandarin oranges from the lady he set an eye for over the lake/river on a boat... after that miracle happends lor~~ *^.^* This is a lucky way for single ladies or guys to get the know each other. We chinese believe it's a way for couple to meet and live happly ever after~~ hihihi... Ancient time is so romantic neh~~!!

So here by, me and steven Wish all:

Happy Happpy Chinese New Year

D.I.Y (IX) Wedding Doorgifts/Favours

2009-01-15T00:01:00.025+08:00

DIY continues... *^.^* yes! yes! This time is my Wedding Doorgifts/Favours - Cute Wooden Clips package with Hand-tied Chinese Knots!!

Before me and Chenseng made the final decision(from a list of ideas/doorgifts that we can think of) on these wooden clips... we were so into this TOWEL CAKE thing as our doorgifts *^.^* It's very cute, pretty and very popular in Taiwan~! Here's some samples we research from the net:

So CUTE and PRETTY, rite? *^.^* So many design and patterns and ways to diy this towel cake. We SO want to diy it for our guest of honour.... BUT *yes... here comes the problem =( After we went and ask around the price of different kinds of towel or handkerchief - from shopping mall, supermarket, towel suppler to pasar malam stall ALSO we ask for the price....hum... over budget =( Even they willing to sell in bulks, still one towel/handky is more than RM1. Say we need 400-500 piece for my guests (for my Seremban and KL side reception in total) that would be >RM400!! These havn't include the small cherry or replace with ribbons or small flowers, the cupcake cover, plastic to package them...WOW!! And when we went sourcing for the small cherry (or the green apples in the sample picture) They are NOT CHEAP~!! RM0.80 at least! =''(

Our 'very nice' ideas were vanish when it come to budget *kaching $$$ So, alternatives - was those small CRYSTAL ornaments. We went ask AROUND (u name it from almost all the warehouses or shops at Petaling Street) we ask one-by-one that weekend morning till night *So dusty and tired after that =o( Another failure...oevr budget and source not up to our requirement.

Chenseng's auntie suggest we give out ChopSticks. Hum... is quite common and can easily source and is cheap too! If we can get it from China is EVEN cheaper!! But Chenseng said is too common and almost every wedding we went is giving out chopsticks. Here's some sample I found from the net also: different design on how to pack the chinese chopsticks.

Well...since Chenseng dun like this idea so much... we continue search HARDER! Where ever we go shopping or walking through shops, our eyes open 'big-big' (hihihi...)

SO! On the 26 Oct08, Sunday (I forget what public holiday iziit) Me, Chenseng and mommy daddy went to Melaka to collect our DragonFruit RedWine *^.^* Here, I want to say a SUPER BIG THANKYOU to my best friend - Ms Tan Pei Fung and her mother-in-law Julia for selling me the very delicious DragonFruit RedWine for my wedding dinner. It's so delicious and tasty that most of my friends and family who tasted it wanna buy it...But, too bad, according to Julia, the supplier of the dragonfruit redwine is not producing it anymore and is doin aloevera business now =( SOOoooo sayang-neh =( Maybe is the production cost is high and one bottle is RM55-60...so is not cheap! BUT!! I still feel very greatful and thankful from the help from PeiFung and Julia - THANKYOU *^.^*!!

Yes! After collected our redwine, we decided to tour around Melaka. Such a big change in Melaka Town! There's the Pahlawan Shopping Mall, the Menara Taming Sari Melaka (YES! All four of us q-up and went up the ride to view the very beautiful Melaka town 360 degree SKY HIGH!! Just like a tourist *^.^*) After dinner at Johny's Steamboat in Pahlawan Shopping Mall, we went to the Jonker's Street's Pasar Malam~!! So MANY Peopleeee~!!

NOW! My wedding doorgift story continue: Yup! I found my cute wooden clip as my wedding doorgift THERE! at Melaka's Jonker's Street *^.^* A shop named ARNAZO that sells alot of local made/china made crafts, ornaments, cute-cute stuffs and gifts. Like I said earlier, where ever me and chenseng go and see, we will alwys remind ourselves - DOORGIFT..doorgift...doorgift... .... Chenseng found these cute little wooden clips and show me. I asked him what to do with it? The owner of the shop was very nice... He answered me: Can be bookmark, can clip memo, can clip greeting cards or even back to its orginal function - clip cloths (hihihi...) Well, the usage is not the main attraction to me...is those cute little animal pattern that caught my eyes !*^.^*! They are so colourful, small so easy to carry and easy to package them. So after talking to the owner of the shop - Mr Chai a.k.a Ah Pau, he is willing to give me wholesale price~!!! WOW!! reason why was we told him is for our wedding doorgifts as an appreciation to our honoured guest. He sense our good-heart so he also being a good-heart, he promise to give me the cheaper price. Me and Chenseng was soooooo happy!! I immediately ask him the detail on how he will mail me the products and payment method. Internet is amazing! HA! So, it a DEAL !!*^.^*!! Here's some pictures of the very cute and colourful wooden clips:
After I unpacked the wooden clips from the courier package, I separate the wooden clips and the slightly bigger memo clips and put them nicely, count them and ready to DIY package them.

We got our clear plastic packaging from Jalan Kenanga, Hang Tuah - Panma Worldwide Enterprise, specialist in plastic bags. I brought one sample of wooden clip so I can find the suitable platic bag saiz. The owner Mdm Tan was so friendly *^.^* She chitchat with us, recommand us so many different kinds of plastic packets, so that our wedding doorgifts looks nice! *so thoughtful*^.^*. She even taught us how to differentiate the quality of plastic bag. After all the chitchat, we decide on a rectangular size plastic packet so our wooden clip can fit nicely inside and seal it with my hand-tied chinese knot.

Here... Oscar moment again: I want to THANK my Beloved collegues - Serean Lau Siaw Woon and Chew Bee Bee *^.^*v*^.^* To BeeBee: Thankyou! You are willing to learn how to tie the chinese knot and helped me tied almost more than hundred knots and package them*^.^* To Serean Lau: Thankyou! You are so productive by package more than 30 wooden clips with the chinese knots WITHIN ONE NIGHT~!! WOW!! THANKYOU, my friends **^.^** Here's PART of the 500 chinese knots me, mommy and beebee did:

Weeks... Days... Hours... Minutes... Seconds... of our hardworking hand-tied chinese knotssss

Some close-up shoots of the BLUE and RED hand-tied Chinese Knots... Looks simple but SERIOUSLY need technique and skills and time to made these knot~~ Then tie them to sealed/secure the wooden clips inside the plastic packet we bought.

SO! This is my doorgifts' story.

A sneak preview on how I did my wedding doorgifts/favours:

My face stress-nya~!!

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I was SUPER happy on my wedding day that morning... so happy that I didn't even have any worries in my mind.

Looking me myself 'transform' into a beautiful bride infront of the mirror... I was so excited and happy *^.^* I always have confident... and that confident was taught by you and daddy since we (me and ahLit) was a small kid. Confident, humble, patien, optimistic, hardworking...I can name ALL the moral values here and I can say proudly, you and daddy taugh me well... very well indeed!

Friends, families, collegues and other people around me, who had praise/compliment about my good attitude, I thank them very much. But deep in my heart, I always THANK to you – Mommy and Daddy! You both have pass All your good values to me: being an artistic person, being able to do and think DIY-ly, so proud to be a lefthanded (like daddy ^.^), likes teaching, am a patien person, always think of others first, etc... I will continue learn and practise all this everyday.

I always tell my friends: If I have half my mom's talents arr... that will be so great! She knew almost every bit of EVERYthing!! Then I told Chenseng: If you can be half like my dad arr... that will be SUPER great!! *hahaahah.... (Chenseng is sweating o.O||...But I BELIEVE in him... He Will Be A Better Man~~!!)

Mommy and Daddy, although I don't really tell or show directly how much I miss and love u... I ALWAYS DO~!! A simple example: Every weekend, when me and Chenseng teach our children art class... All the moments from the past like: preparing for art competitions then waiting for result then won, calligraphy contest then won, piano lessons then exam with flying result, singing lessons then exam, swimming , badminton for fun and healthy, playground, flying kite, bicycle.... All my childhood moments with you and daddy came across my mind. And ALL THAT memories will motivate me to become a better person in real life (and also triggers my creativities during the art class...hihih*^,^*)

I dunno how much I can keep goin, coz there are TOO MANY feelings and emotions I wanna write about and share with you... but I for this moment, me - Kathy Foo Hui Yi, at the age of 28 this year 2009 would like to tell the world:

Thank You, Mommy - Mdm Chong Fong yen!
Thank You, Daddy - Mr Foo Yong Chek!
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

I wish both mommy and daddy:
As loving as forever
Smile more and
Stay Healthy Forever!!!

Me and Chenseng will try our BEST to be a better husband and wife~!! Thankyou.

Some correction here...

Previous DIY (VII) was Mom-Modify-Qipao. I bought the dark blue qipao @ D'Glitter, PLaza Damas and had ideas too add should black lace and bottom lace, to enhance and 'beauti-fied' it.

So meaningful and MEMORABLE!! I'm so glad mom wanted to do a qipao for me *I'm so VERY touched~!

8 Nov 2008

Today is my Gou Da Li day *^.^*

Yes yes, is been a while. We were very VERY busy with our Gou Da Li preparation. For the 1st week of November, everynite me and chenseng hav to go shopping and research for our Gou Da Li stuff AFTER WORK! (*hum...) What to look for? Example: his shirt, pants, belt, purse and shoe (that girls side hav to 'return' the gifts, rather my parents buy for him, mom said bring him shop for what he likes and usable), bed sheet set for both my room and our 'new' room (we got our new furnish bed set one year ago and recently mom n dad got us a queen size bed @ Seremban *^.^* happy~~ I dun hav to sleep on the floor anymore! HA!) and more ding-ding dong-dong stuff to purchase....

Will Continue my Chinese Hantaran aka Gou Da Li.... !!**I'd got SUPRIZED**!! *^.^*

YO-HOO~~!!! Kathy Bridezilla is BACK~~!! now with more pictures...hihihiAbout my Gou Dai Lai, I'll put pictures and captions to tell the story yeah *^.^* Here goes...

D.I.Y (VII) Mom-modify-Qipao

2008-11-02T01:02:00.012+08:00

We went CRAZY!! Research and find my qipao chinese matching buttons and the 'super-hard-to-find' sleeve lace!!! Need Black sleeve lace some more~!! (*headache) Chenseng brought me to the WHOLE Chaw Kit Road to go in-and-out those fabric shops one-by-one, floor by floor, section-by-section to ask for black lace. MORE CRAZY~~ During the last Deepavali holiday, me and chenseng went back to seremban and mom decide to make me a qipao...he suggested to bring us to see cloth @ Nilai3 but end up, he drove me and mom straight to Chaw Kit road to find the suitable qipao material!!! Within one day, morning we travel back from KL to Seremban, then frm Seremban to KL(to find qipao material), comeback Seremban frm KL, then after dinner we head back to KL home. *WOW WOW WOW!! All three of us was so tired: we walk from street to street starting 11am till 6pm!! OMG~ We encounter some problem while finding the sleeve black lace. Remember my skecthes for my dark blue qipao I bought from D'Glitter? Mom said there must be some specific kind of rounded lace for neckline/sleeve...coz if we buy those square cloth type, the curve area at the sleeve is impossible to do! IMPOSSIBLE!?!? Noooo! Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE~! So we went crazy finding the materials for the sleeve thing. Brainstroming while researching materials at Bunga Reben. hum.....=( But DD REALLY wanted to help mom...coz he told me he sensed mom REALLY hav to courtersy/urge to make this qipao for me *^.^*! THANKYOU, DD for willing to travel up-and-down for me n mom! =) and Thankyou for your patience, Chenseng and Mommy **^.^**

After soooo many hours seraching for the Black Sleeve Lace @ KL tht day, we didn't bought excatly what I sketched out previously. Me and mom discussed quite a while and came out a `last-resort` solution: she'll attached the flower pattern on top of a black net then only paste on top of my darbblue qipao =( So we end up spending more than RM50 for 1meter of black flower sequinded lace (big and small flower) and a meter of black net.
I TAK PUAS HATI!!! NOthing is IMPOSSIBLE to find~!! SO! The next day I came back to KL, morning, I went straight to the sewing shop near The Soter, Sri Pataling, I ask for Black Sleeve Lace. YES! She got!! But unfortunately I hav only one choice....BETTER THAN NOTHING!!! =D
I immediately buy 2 pairs and called mom to tell her the good news *^.^* then I also buy more nicer chinese buttons (silver once...coz mom match my DIY qipao with silver lining *pretty*)
So here are the lace I FINALLY FOUND IT!

Mom adjusting the black sleeve lace on my shoulder ~*excited*

Close up shoot of the VERY LOVELY black lace ~ *^.^*~
I even DIY the bottom part of my DarkBlue qipao by adding black lace~!! Nice? *I think is special lor **^.^**

Story Continue...

21 OCT 2008
A week time after we sent our DIY Wedding Invitation CArd design to RedCard, Endah Parade, Irene, a very polite and good spoken lady called me to come collect it.

Good News: Yes, finally we can see+touch+feel and ready to send our 'arty red saman' to our friends and relatives *^.^*

Here's some pictures of our *eh-hum 'Award-winning master piece':

Here's a close up shot of the 'double happiness - HEI' wedding envelope for my wedding card! *^.^*!

YES! YES! My wedding invt card is very matching with the envelope they provided for us =) Actually we got to choose from a variety of 3-4 kinds of wedding card envelope from RedCard. *Thanks to Irene *^.^*

SO! Continue with the excitement from me - YES! I have to be the first person to OPEN and UNWRAP the newly wrapped master-pieces....After me n chenseng collected out 'FRESH-LY' printed out wedding invites, chenseng is so kind enough to drive me back home - SEREMBAN!! Just to pass them the girl-side wedding invites!! After colleection is almost 8.30pm, we had a quick dinner then went straight to SEREMBAN at about 9.15pm. Chenseng know I'm worried 'bout my parent's friends and relatives may get the invites late (I memang kiasu abit lar...but I'm just being a good daughther and am worried bout my parent's friends got my notice late and could make it =(...please forgive my kiasu-ness =P)

Anyway! Without saying more, Chenseg drove me down to SEREMBAN on a working day!! *muah *muah SO, once I reached SEREMBAN, my mom and dad were so excited **^.^**! Especially my dad....HIS MASTER PIECE can now distribute to the world~~!! opss... Hehehe.. wht I mean is, now his friends and relatives and who ever got invited can see his art pieces =) Mom laugh at Daddy the other day, when they checked my blog: they saw compliments from my friends in my shoutbox~! and Daddy showed a 'berlagak punya muka' - proud-face to mommy and repeat and repeat and repeat the compliments:"Uncle Foo's painting very nice! Uncle Foo can paint so well!!"..MUahahaha... "Daddy, me and chenseng are REALLY proud of our wedding invitation cards too *^.^*!!"

Now let the picture tell u how Bridezilla KathyFoo Unwrap the freshly wrapped~!!*he-he-he

"Gently...gently now..." Check out my face, is worried+fraunning a little and both shoulders up~! *YES! Very 'gan jiong' me!

"Is coming out... *drumroll please... ... ... ...."

TADA!! *Jang ~jang jang~

SO! TO ALL MR. FOO's, MRS. FOO aka Mdm Choong and MRS. Ng (*eh-hum) aka KATHY FOO's HONOURABLE Friends and Relatives, we are ready and coming to pass you our very SPECIAL invites to my BIG DAY~ 29th November 08, Saturday Night @ MinKok Restaurant, Seremban to celebrate with us as our honoured guest for dinner **^.^**!!

Hope you'll like my invites and see you there~! *^.^* !

(currently been travelling here n thr, up and down frm KL-Seremban, to research fabrics,motifs and accesories for ANOTHER MAJOR D.I.Y Wedding Projects~!! Yes, my friends, my DIY is becoming MORE CHALLENGING NOW - I'm DIY-ing my own Qipao!~*^.^*~!
My DEAREST MOM decide to Tailor me a 'very special - one-in-a-million' Qipao just for my Chinese Tea Ceremony~!! *I'm so 'gam dong'~~I think I'm the luckiest Bridezilla of all~~ *snif*snif)

THANK YOU MOMMY!! **^.^**LOVE YOU FOREVER, Mommy and Daddy **^.^**

Not So Good News: Well, I shouldn't spoilt the mood/aora in this post but I hav to mention it coz is related to the progress of printing my wedding card.

What happend was, we wanted 230pcs of wedding invites with front/back cover laminations and another set of the inside sinili paper (with all the wordings) attached to the cover. The problem came: LAMINATIONS!! The printer spoilt over 40 psc of my cover coz the laminations job is BADLY DONE =( Scratch marks, floating, folded marks and uneven croppings~!!

Humm...I guess it only happend when you custome-made your own card then SO many errors came out. So, Irene hav to re-print 40 over psc cover for me and tht will be, of course LATE!! Pass my DEADLINE, man! There's actually somemore 'rejects' I haae no choice but to REJECT!

So, to all brides-to-be out there, if you are doin custome-made card with laminations/hot-stamping/spot UV or any dyi-cut: PLEASE BE EXTRA carefull with ur design and try your best to understand and monitor the QUALITY of the printer provide. Talk to the middle person (as in the sales/ showroom manager etc) nicely and ask them to help you monitor or pass message.

ANYWAYS~!!^.^!! I'm glad I'm surrounded by very helpful and kind friends and people that serve me well (*eh-hum...except SOME...I think you know wht happended earlier) abit bumpy and cracky...NOW my BIG DAY IS NEAR, push-tost-wash all those bad genki away and *happy thoughts* (thanks to all my collegues around me for always reminding me *happy thoughts*) Hope people will change and become better toward each other *^.^*

*CLAP* And hope my new APPLE MAC will come ontime b4 my GOU DAI LAI *^.^* MAC MAC APPLE COME TO BRIDEZILLA~!! *hihihi *CLAP*

I Am A Bride~! Now a Pretty Fresh Look~!

Me n Chenseng was looking up and down for toys that is wearing something BLUE....FINALLY, we found this pair where Mickey is wearing a BLUE TUXEDO and BLUE TOP HAT!! SO matching to our colour theme ~~*^.^*v somemore his shoe is in the classic black n white! So cool~~!

Minee, in other hand is soooo LADY! (*a-hem~) with sweet pink short gown (plus her can-can...so cute!), pink heels and polka-dot ribbon too! Eventhough she don't hav a wedding veil but they are so PERFECT!! Thanks to Chenseng whom found this pair of wedding mickey while on the way back home from work (BTS). He got this pair for RM69.90 from GiftLane, Sg Wang.

More pictures coming up - the unwrap ones and the details *^.^* hang on there~

Accesories #4 Wedding SHOEss

2008-07-15T01:32:00.011+08:00

Wedding shoe is ver important ^.^ hum...I always have problem to buy heels, becoz I have a size 10 feet =( Usually is VERY hard for me find a pair of heel I like, either the style of shoe i like dun hav my size or shoe that have my size I dun like... OH! Actually, there are shops that sells size 10 n above shoes, like those slightly high-end branded shops, yes.

SO! I went Vincci, Chairman, Primavera, Shoeshoeshoe, Nose, Lewre, Ninewest....small, big, branded or non-branded...u name it! same inccident happend to me!! arghhh...i'm so geram n fed-up. Untill, one day, after gym at CaliforniaFitness Midvalley, me n chenseng go walk walk The Gardens (coz tht time Gardens JUST open). There's actually SALES every where!!

Then, we walk pass this shop called TIAMO...selling very Bling blings stuff like accesories and bags. I was actually checking out their earings coz the BLINGS really attracks me *hihihi...Then chenseng saw SHOES. They are pricey though~~ Then we saw this pair of white pointy heels with pearls and diamonte details...and it's silver polka-dots~~ *^.^* so lovely!!

Let's guess how much it is? * drumroll... ... ... IT'S RM277!

Walau eh! But I REALLY like it~~ Then the MOST important question is " Do you have this is size 9 or 10?" ... ... ... "yes" YES!?! OH YES!!! ithout thinking twice, I decided to buy this pair of shoe as my wedding shoe *^.^*

THEN! yes then, the salegirl is so nice~~ She let me choose a pair of bling bling earings from the rack as a wedding gift for me~~ Here's the earings:

Check out the crystal earing I'm wearing, match one of my PS gown *^.^*v

SO! That was my 1st pair of wedding shoe. I got my 2nd wedding shoe from GUESS during their mid-year sales. This pair of Blue 'transperant' pointy heel is only RM63 after discount!! Here it is:

It's soooo pretty~ suits my colour theme BLUE, white and black. I think it can be my dinner shoe also for my wedding dinner (though I don't know what's gonna be for my dinner gown).

This GUESS heels is about 3 inchs high! I'm already 172cm (5' 7f) but luckly Chenseng is much MUCH taller then me (*hohoho) else the photo of us will turn out abit weird.

But honestly, heels like this is very tiring to wear. TIPS: Remember to bring slipper when doin your pre-wedding photoshoots! I wore this GUESS heels for my ROM, sneak preview of my ROM with my 'killer' heels:

My GUESS Blue shoe is so matching with my ROM dress and ROM bouquet, right? *happy *happy

I have 2 more pairs of shoes Just for my pre-wedding shoots....coming soon.

Accesories #3 My Veilss

2008-07-15T01:31:00.012+08:00

Yosh! Is time to show-off my veilss...Yup! Bridezilla KathyFoo is VERY uptide and upset 'bout her bridal house THAT's WHY she got herself THREE veils: 1.Simple 2-tier dropped elbow lenght 2. 4-tier gathered bouquet lenght and 3. Halo veil with flower & pearls details.

Sample of veil No.1:

Simple 2-tier dropped elbow lenght veil w/o any trimming.
Another closer look:Me in my 'Gua' but I put on my simple veil so I don't look so traditional ^.^v.

Sample of veil No.2:

My 4-tier gathered bouquet veil with trimming & diamonte details.
This veil and the headset came along with my gown when I purchased it.

Very matching and *puffy...& is a blusher too!!

Sample of veil No.3:

Halo veil with flower, pearls and ribbons details. I DIY it myself, took me a few weekends to complete it. IT's very pretty to pair it with a short gown~!

So YEAH! I own 3 different kind of wedding veils. And I hav no regrets to have to pay for ALL my unique veils *^.^*v

Accesories #2 Hand Glovesss

2008-07-11T00:14:00.013+08:00

I'm very particular with my overall image as a bride, so I decide to 'beautify' my hands with gloves. (*hi-hi-hi) I know some will think: HandGloves are so OUT OF DATE and old fashion... but I think is classic ^.^ And tell you wht, I've got 3 pairs of handgloves (that I REALLY spend time looking for it), just for my wedding shoots!! Yes!! Thanks to the 'lousy' SA person that didn't served us well and sort of push me to the limit I went on SEARCHING (high n low) and BOUGHT them MYSELF. I've no regrets.

Yup! Once again, Chenseng brought me to Petaling street to look for wedding gloves. BUT we CAN'T find ANY from there!!! @#$%&*geram THEN he said:' How bout we try HangTuah - the warehouse for u girls punya clothes...maybe got.'

SO! We went there, got a parking and start our SEARCH. SO MANY boutiques and shopss!! We dunno where and how to start! NO CHOICE...chenseng teman me go shop-to-shop, in-and-out, one-by-one, we asked.

Not only the ground floor, which ever we saw got possibility...1st floor till 2nd floor we WENT IN TO ASK. (*end og the day, I was REALLY amazed by myself) After trying about more than 12 shops, NO LUCK...I was upset already and almost wanna give up. THEN...(*yup! always like tht, isn't it?) THEN...I saw this shop with abit out dated evening gown that's abit 'aunty' style...1st floor up at this end of the road... I'm already tired and sad...was telling myself not worth claim up the stairs and answer is 'NO!' again...But Chenseng went up b4 me...so I followed.

The shop looks enpthy. We press the doorbell and a GUY served us. "Do u sell any wedding gloves?" asked chenseng, coz I giveup 'de and was checking out their 'aunthy' evening gowns.
"YES!"
WHaT!?! I immediately asked again...Sure-ah? for wedding one wor! (I make him sound so stupid and I'm stupid also =p) He's patience and took out SOOOO many kinds of hand glovess!

I'm so happy!! There's long, mid-lenght, short, black, white, pink, blue, satin, lace, velvet, rubber....

So girls! Here are the FINAL 3 wedding hand gloves I bought from Jalan HangTuah - the Whole Sales area.

This is a elbow lenght whtie lace wedding gloves.
Push towards ur wrist to turn into a short one! ^.^v

This is a satin wedding gloves.
There's little pearls details ~so pretty!

This is a blck lace wedding gloves.
It's slightly longer (above my elbow) But is so sexy!

Yup! I'm very HAPPY indeed. I wore the white lace for my Outdoor pre-wedding shoots to match my tube top gown. A small sample of the shoots with my glooves *^.^*:

These are some of the 'rejected' polaroids hard copies I scaned. Imagine me without the gloves on my hand...I think I'll look very 'empthy' and abit too much 'flesh'...so! Hand gloves are not out-of-date...They make you look pretty!! **^.^**

Accesories #1 My RINGSss

2008-06-28T23:17:00.022+08:00

Not only I have my proposal ring and wedding band... I bought LOTS of OTHER Rings to GLAM UP my outfit during shoots. Here's an ARTISTIC shoot taken by Chenseng *^.^v*

Nice right? there are 5 rings tht looks like they're part of the silver plant.

We got our wedding bands and proposal rigns from Brilliant Rose - SooKee. Here's some nice shoots we took:

SO! That's it..very simple wedding bands but a complicated diamond ring. Both were from Brilliant Rose, Bangsar Village2. One fine day, we were just window shopping round Bangsar thn came across this jewellery shop..I was talking bout my cousin sister's wedding ring (that was CUSTOM MADE in CARAT CLUB *kaching x1000) Then I said I KINDA like the pattern and shape of her proposal ring. He hav no idea how it is, so we SIMPLY went in and he ask me:" Got the style of ring you describe or not?" At first I could find...then the service person came and help. He showed me my proposal ring first and I've already "Fall-in-love" with tht ring!! I tried it and it's sooo pretty!! Then.......IS RM2100!! O!K! Let's go out now~~ So I didn't see tht ring after tht anymore...untill the Putra ShangriLa Xmas eve dinner *^.^*

SO! Back to my story... I went to my jewellery box and found THESE:

There are 5 rings (out of abunch of kiddo rings i collected from young) which are applicable to match my gowns. 1. Fake Aqua Blue Diamond ring 2. White Marble ring (was a free gift whn I purchase ZA foundation when I was Uni year 1) 3. Gold plastic ring ( frm TeddyTales RM9.90 *hahaha) 4. Silver rose and glitter rose (both from Simma formally were for my Prom nite years ago) So they will be ALL appearing in my photoshoots and I'm glad I've got coz just a simple hand accesories can GLAM UP ALOT to your overall looks!

All together now!! Say "cheese~"

Chapter Four #Ring's DecorOne fine weekend, after teaching artclass, we went to Damansara - The Curve, Cineleisure and the flea market...just to relax....but both our mind is still FULL of "Ideas for pre-wedding shoots" and also for our wedding *^.^*

We were walking around the flea market... so many cheap and interesting stuff. Then I came across this small booth at the far end corner, where they sell small small interiors item such as candle holder, salt n pepper, mugs... The things are so cute! I was looking looking...

*TING! An idea came across my mind... one of these things can be my wedding ring holder!! Rather then the normal ring pillow, I can buy something I like and shoot together with my gorgeous wedding ring...*TING!

I like cats! Eventhough I dun have a pet cat, I'm always a cat person =p...I saw this cute CAT shape salt n pepper holder...and is our Colour theme - BLUE and WHITE!!

Immediately, I asked the price - RM10 - BUY!! I'm so happy! ^.^v But... the cats are NAKED~~! I think I have to make them look like Bride n Groom! SO! I took out ALL my Tools and materials and start 'design' my cats' gown.

I got some IMPORTED beats from Japan (*woo-hoo! but actually i got it from the sewing shop nearby^.^) and nice sparkling diamontes (*blue coloured once is RM0.50 per piece!! ka-ching ka-ching), the cute black n blue felt crown are from some kiddo hair clip (coz I thought I can make the cats wear the crown n become King & Queen~ hihihi...), some cute ribbon roses bouquet (though the SHE cat can carry a wedding bouquet...*cute-mar) and some lace for the SHE cat's gown. I didn't use this flowery lace, coz the material is not BRIDAL enough. So I got another lace (as wht SHE cat is wearing now).

Here are some snap shoots done by Chenseng while I was busying sewing her veil. You'll find some shoot tht SHE is botak! hahaha...

For HIM: I got a black color felt, measure and cut out a little black vest fro the groom. Add a lgith blue ribbon as his bow and to brighten up, I add a biggest diamonte on his left pocket!

For HER: First, I use a thick lace, wrap around her body to measure the lenght then did small folds, so it'll become 'bloom'. Then I did a beated halter neck for her gown. This part is quite trick coz I need to count the beads and balanced the gown, so it wont be to tie-up or too drop-py. I use a ribbon flower and the same lace to sew her veil. More shoots:

--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--

"hi my bb kathy, do you know the first time we take the package of this stupid just married bridal that not service us well. And you alway think why other people (include your cousin) wedding that their wedding photo so nice!! with hired those expensive photographer and long!!! long grown.

Then from that time i start to plan every step that can make you like your wedding in photo, presentation, dinner and all about wedding thing. Even my room to make you comfortable. So i start search from online about all the expert photography, then from there i can have reference that can make our album photo look nice and had the standard that can compare to your cousin sister with use money to buy the good photographer.

"I'll do anything to make the bride happy."

So i believe you and me can make the different on wedding or whole life we walking together. Even i'm poor but i still can earn little money for our future and that is not enough, so i need to keep finding the wealth to bring to you."

"But do you know why, i do this all thing for you because i dont want you see other people happiness that you dont have. That's why i try to bring your own happiness by your side. So dont admire or jealousy other people have. you know why i think like that because i know you are that kind of gal which is weak in the heart. That's why i need to protect your mind, soul and whole person.

Kathy got one thing i havent tell you that in our relationship in the 6th year, that time i start thinking wanna stop this relation but i didnt do that because your patient. From that time i start to change my view and my attitude. Because that time my job is no stable, and always no enough money to buy thing for you. I also surprise that kathy can change a bad temper person in control."

Chapter Three #The Big Back Ribbon

After done my DIY for my short gown, NOW is time to DIY my SUPER PLAIN white gown. I had a HARD TIME to finally choose this gown coz I was telling the servicing girl:" I want big, Big, BIG FLARE gown!!" "Big FULL skirt shape..." She kept letting me tried those 'slim-slim' gown...'T.T'

I even show her the sample I got and draw out the skirt shape...
"I want PRINCESS DRESS~~!!" I shouted...hahaha

SO! Finally, my cousin sisters found the gown that is ALMOST what I wanted.(You can look back at my previous post "Friday, June 6, 2008 I'm a Princess! He's my Prince!")

YUP! Kathy - The Bridezilla is not satisfied with the detail of the gown...or in other words - The gown has NO DETAILS at all!! Is just a very simple plain satin full gown. When I tried it on, front look nice but the back view, I look so FLAT...like no buttock! no no no... SO! I went back home and start my HOMEWORK~~

As usual, bridal mags and internet...

Here, I show part of the results me and chenseng found...ALL looks so pretty ^.^

...with floral details, satin ribbons with diamonte brooch, additional chiffon....

BUT!!!
Out of sooooo many references and ideas...

I found this! I like this one the BEST! ^.^v

Is a BIG SATIN RIBBON~~!!

So next! I need a GOOD tailor~ I called my cousin sister and aunty for recomendation. They gave me the hp number and ask me to contact Winnie - my aunty's old schoolmate =)

She stay at Wangsa Maju (*so far =( man!) So Chenseng drove me there after work and I show her this photocopy sample and she said:"Can be done!" (*Is worth driving ALL the way to Wangsa now =D)

I'm so happy and THANKFUL~~yoohooo~~

So she measure my height so the ribbons' tail will drop nicely on the gown. Winnie ask me whether I have veil..."nope..*with a sad face..."
"I make you a simple one lar! very simple 2-tier veil lar!"
". . ."
I was speechless... I just remember how I give her a big smile!! =D
A BIG THANK YOU to WINNIE *^.^*

After 2 weeks, Winnie called me to come collect the ribbon and veil. She ask for a SUPER reasonable price for both item (*can't tell u guys but is not more than RM100 *wink!) It's SO PRETTY!! **^.^**

Here's the TRANSFORMATION of the plain white gown I choose from JM to Kathy's D.I.Y styles (*some help from chenseng also-lor!Thanks, DD):

TADA~!! 1 gown 2 looks *^.^*
My Big Back Ribbon and the cute 2-tier veil *^.^*

Hihihi... yes! I went to choose my pre-wedding photos @ Just Married last weekend. Those 2 pictures above are the rejects ones. Is polaroid size photo. I still keep them eventhough some I look abit cacat (some r really weird looking...=p) But me and Chenseng thought ALL the others choosen photos, turn out NICE ^.^v. This weekend have to go JM again and talk bout THE LAYOUT!! *I know... uptied-nya!

Chapter Two #Shoulder Cap Ribbons

What is a Shoulder Cap Ribbons?! Eh-hum...is a term I 'invented' by Kathy myself (*hihih...)

After my gown selection and sketching, I decided to do something to the SHORT CUTE GOWN I choosed. (Actually EACH gown also I have different IDEA and blue elements for it....^.^)

SO! I'll start with the SHORT CUTE IVORY gown. At first, I was only think to wear my super long pearl necklace or just turn it into my chunky-layered breclet....hum.....not good enough
!! >o< !!

Bridal Fashion magazine~!! Google~!!
Got so many ideas~~ I first got inspired by this---->

A short gown by VALENTINO design!
**chop!**
What I realized is the 2 ribbons at the side -- IS SOOO CUTE!!!

I WANT TO DO THAT TOO \^o^/!!

SO! I went to the net and search....what are those ribbons called?! sleeves? ...nop....off shoulder?...not excatly...ribbons...what ribbons?!...

I went through my 'bridal gown directory' I photostat last year, there's no SPECIFIC name for it!? Here's a peek:

These are ALL the SLEEVES DESIGN for bridal gown. There are more designs on Necklines, Veil, Trains...will share it out when I talk 'bout it later(*wink ^.<)
I saw the design (I've highlighted) is what I want...It is called Off shoulder pouf 'cap'...SO! This is how the word 'CAP' come from. ^.^v

BUT!! Maybe there is a CORRECT term for it, I'm not sure =p...I not from the Fashion-line...so if someone know, please correct me ^.^v, k?

So I search the key words on the net: Shoulder cap ribbons, bridal gown. SOOOOOOOoo many things came out, but luckily I saw this:

Check out the bride's arm... That is something I'm gonna do! yes!!

SO! I took out ALLLL my sewing stuff and materials I bought and start my idea. I got all these:

Pretty Embellished Flower Lace with blinks and beads... Ribbons, ribbons, ribbons and more cute flower lace **^.^** so sweet-neh!

First! I sew the small flower lace on the light blue ribbons as a base. It took me only 2 nights (3 hour each night) to finish the left and right hand. ^.^v After that, only I sew the NICE NICE flower lace on top of the base. I didn't DIRECTLY sew them together...as I still need to adjust the position of the flower and the diameter of my arm, so the lenght of the flower can showoff nicely (*tada!)

Then, I TRY to tie it around my arms....It CAN'T SECURE at my arms if I start moving!! ALERT ALERT...PROBLEM PROBLEM!! Think! Think!! Think!!!

Chenseng was with his laptop, and I'll always sit opposite of him, doin my stuff. He saw wht I was facing. He tried to tie so many ways so that it'll secure, but....we failed...!

I was upset =( He ask me to go to sleep and continue next day. And when I just about to go to bed, I untied my hair...and....

YES!! Why didn't I think of THAT!! RUBBER BAND!!
...YUhoooo! I'm a genius! (*hihi...paiseh)

Rubber is ELASTIC! Can stretch and hold! I can't wait till the next morning to go to the sewing shop and buy the rubber band! Yahoooo! ^o^

SO! After 2 more nights (3 hour each night also)...
Here's my MASTER PIECE!! *drum roll, please...*

Kathy's own Shoulder Cap Ribbons~~!! TADA!!

Some Close up shoots on how I did it.. ^.^v ..

Yup! I'm soooo happy I did it! I'll wear this with my SHORT CUTE GOWN and hopefully it'll bring out some kind of nice 'effects' to me, my gown and of course Chenseng~~ ^.^ Coz I think if I add this on my arm...the thin ribbons will fly,Fly, FLY~ with our movement...*imagining~~

Whatever it is, I REALLY like my creation and hope our pre-wedding picture will turn out nice *^.^*v
If you like what I did please tell me =)

Welcome to Kathy's DIY world...hihihi..paiseh~

Chapter One #Necklace

Well, after I've sketch out what I need for those BLUE elements on both our costume...First thing I DIY is a SUPER LONG Pearl Necklace ^.^ in blue!

Here's my INSPIRATION ---->
IT's from a bridal fashionspread in FEMALE BRIDES Singapore'06.
When I saw this, I was like: "Yah! It's very special..I can DIY it myself! =) Compare to the NORMAL choker size pearl necklace, why dun I try something 'modern' like this...*thinking....*thinking......"
"NICE!" said chenseng,"do it!"
hum....sure? coz is not like the ordinary, ladylike pearl necklace..u know!?

The nexthing I know, chenseng drive me to Petaling Street (again!) to source for materials: pearls, hook, pendant, diamonte, beads...whatever that looks PRETTY~~^.^~~

There's ALOT of beads wholesales shops around Petaling street. We REALLY go in ONE-BY-ONE of those shops to ask what I want.

For the FIRST TIME, chenseng STOP and SEE AT those GIRLY STUFF and EVEN pulled me over and say:" Ahhh...see! Maybe you can do this... hum... and this... or that.... OH! This also nice! See.....!can do this... !!"

(*Am I DREAMING?!? IS just me?! or someone just BRAINWASH chenseng's mind?! or there's ACTUALLY the word 'GIRL's Accesories' in his DICTIONARY?!?!)

A few times, I was standing at a corner of the shelf... just to look at how he was checking out at all the girly stuff~~ *^.^*~~ Soooooo cute!

AHUM!! Ok...back to my DIY...yes! I was saying...

After in-and-out sooooooooooo many shops, I found the pearls!

If you see clearly, there are 3 different shades of light blue pearls I put them together. I bought one straind of pearls for RM1.50 ONLY!! (wow!) These are NOT REAL pearls (of course...) they are sprayed paint... the REAL once (short/ choker size) can go up to RM500 per piece!! And who else will go SOOO NEAR to the bride to check out your PEARLS are FAKE or REAL!? As long as they look nice and pretty~~^.^~~

So! I bought 3 straind of 'pearls' and combine them into a super long necklace. It took me only 3 hours to combine all three straind together, while I was watching ASTRO! *hihihi...

OH! How to end the necklace? Oops...the reference I found got a flower there...but I dun wan flower... *blank! I start research and flip through magazines and jewerelly booklets, etc....AGAIN!

pendant...Pendant...PENDANTS! I dun wan pendants!! SO! I ask my mommy opinion (I was at Seremban tht time) I have this idea, I drew out and discuss with my mommy. The execution part requirs my mom's sewing expertises! (My mom is like SUPERWOMAN! She tailored made me Barbie doll's dresses and my FIRST PROOM DRESS ^.^!! That dress caught Chenseng eyes' on me the whole night...*hihihi....)

SO!... I took out WHATEVER I collected or bought since I was a kid (I like to collect SPECIAL buttons, beads, sewing stuff and of course some stickers..hihihi)

Found it! And with BIG HELP from my MOMMY *^.^*....We did this:

Thanks Mommy! I wore this during my shoots *^.^* pretty!

Hope it'll look nice on me~~ can't wait to see my polaroids photo this weekend! Keep my figure cross lor~~ *pretty *pretty *pretty

I'm a Princess! He's my Prince!

2008-06-06T23:23:00.020+08:00

YUP! After we purchased our RM2388 bridal package, we made an appointment to TRY our gown for the photoshoot. In our package, I have 6 gown for shoots, so I choose 3 for outdoor, 2 for indoor and a 'GUAH' (a traditional chinese wedding costume). Chenseng's costume will match mine once I finalized mine.

SO! The first time we went just to do my gown choosing. I asked my 2 cousin sister (with GREAT taste~) Foo Hui Yin and Foo Hui Shan to loan me thier helping eyes - THANKS alot~~!

Then! I TOTALLY forgot bout chenseng's costume!!! We didn't get a close look on how his coat, tie, accesories..etc look like and I DIDN'T know if they let me wear can-can? veil? hair accesories? ???? I was soooo upset that chenseng bring me to Petaling street to look for can-can!!

SO! yeah we went back AGAIN second time JUST TO checkout what wil they let chenseng wear to match my selected gown.

YES! I'm very upset (coz they didn't let me know wht I WANT TO KNOW!) and uptied!! (I kan bridezilla! very demanding, high expectation!) WHY!? Coz the people who serve us, DIDN'T tell us ALL these when we wanna know! POOR SERVice! =(

Anyway, after THREE times going to-and-fro JustMarried, it was tiring but I think I hav the rights to atleast have an idea wht we're gonna look like during photoshoots. Maybe is my 'work-virus' coz before we do any fashion or beauty spread, we will set a concept and go through the whole idea from hair, makeup, custome, accesories, props to support the concept and even model's poses!

OK people...here are our finalized gown...I even do a rough match *^_^* paiseh~~ abit funny looking:

ID01 Posh look (super low V cut!) OD02 Romantic look (I can fly!) ID03 Oriental look (sexy back!) OD04 Prince & Princess (I DIY alot to this dress so it look like a princess gown! Can't wait to see the polaroids ^.^)

OD05 Modern look (kawaii desu ne!) ID06 Traditional

The last one chenseng refuse to try untill the shooting day~~hahaha...Look like 'Ah Wong'!

Well, on actual shootdate, Chenseng's custome is MUCH MUCH nicer then the above~He got to wear matching pants and fitting coat. (*hihihhi~)

SO! After the mix-matching, I was not satisfy coz the gown we choosed cannot got with our BLUE & WHITE colour concept!! Nevermind, I SKETCH OUT~!! Here's the sketches:

I added BLUE elements to our costume! ^.^ There's blue ribbons, blue hairset, blue blet, blue ribbons for hand bouquet, shirt with blue shripes.....

Close up!

How we come out with these ideas: Me, on the floor flipping through tones of bridal magazines; while Chenseng ont he desk with our laptop goin through the internet for references! We are such a good team~~^o^~~ He googled key words like: bridal gown, ribbons, wedding gown, groom coat...so many reference picturessss we got, SOOO HAPPY =D

Next up... Do It Yourself!

Bridal House - JUST MARRIED!

2008-06-05T00:19:00.010+08:00

Last year MArch2007(story start. . .), chenseng was reading theStar newspaper and found out there was this MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL WEDDING EXPO (The 1st Grandest MAlaysia International Wedding Expo, konon-nya) @ the KL Convention Centre. From 23/3 - 25/3/2007, 11am-8pm.
"Let's go 'see-see', k?"
"..huh..??...."
"Let's go! Just 'see-see' lor!" *He started to get impatien de, coz I didn't gave him a direct answer =p
"...oh....ok...." *hihihi my heartbeat's is a lil' faster >.<

SO! We head to KL Covention Centre...SO MANY PEOPLE! I mean...SO MANY COUPLE!
We got our tickets...then went in. Flyers, brouchers, and alot of pronotions leaflets; our hands were full de before we can even reach to the center of the hall.

There were so many bridal houses' booths from local, Hong Kong, Singapore and some others booths tht are related to WEDDING: hotels, gift shops, beauty stuff, spa, nails, magazine (BluInc promotional team-Mingle n Liz were thr too!) to promote FEMALE BRIDES & NUYOU BRIDES magazine.

SO! We were walking around....didn't really stay at a certain booth to REALLY ask for their promotions n stuff. I went to do my nails (*hihihi....) and chenseng went to the stadge area to see some catwalk show. The nail art is sooooo CANGGIH! Is mechine spray paint! Later got time, i'll tell more. Is basically like this:

Step 1: Apply one base colour on ur fingure. Step 2: Let it dry. Then go to this mechine, choose the design u like for ur nail art. Step 3: Place ur fingure on the mechine, spread out each figure, then the girl will scan one time to get the figure placing right. Step 4: Dun move! She'll apply the nail art on ur scan figure through the screen from the mechine. Then one click away, the mechine start spray paint ur nails. Step 5: Finish spray paint, put a top qoute to protect the nail art and TADA!!

(*Will provide visual later...^.^v)

After I did my nails, we walk round again for the 3rd time de and this time we REALLY ask details one-by-one! After ALLLLLL the information we got...chenseng decided we go out from the hall awhile to make decision. These are JUST PART of the leafte we got (lots I threw away de...)

2 Thick and 'stuffed' Nike folder!!

We sat down at the cafe with all those leaflets and flyers.....But our aim is selaras! that is GET THE CHEAPEST Package~~

WHY? Coz, end of the day, bridal house SURE will ask you to pay ADDITIONAL of small small stuff or add poses, or add EYELASH!!

My dear friends, If you plan to get a bridal package...please get the once tht are REASONABLE Cheap once....dun be afraid to take the VERY BASIC package...coz they FOR SURE will ask to pay SOMETHING ADDITIONAL~~kaching$$ kaching$$!!

SO! He told me this shop called JUST MARRIED...not so bad. The basic package is RM2388. Somemore chenseng said his grandma knows the owner: son of her old neighbourhood friends...(...yup I know wht u r thinking...) I was 'not-sure' also...but anyway he told me will go back to their booth again and ask more details.

SO! WITHOUT checking out the OTHERS bridal booths...we head straight to JUST MARRIED booth. We hav to stand and wait for our turn...coz ALL their sales ppl/agents are with customers. Then our fate dropped on this lady's hand, called Ah YEE. She seems friendly...but impatient....like she rushing for something (maybe she dun wanna spend too much time with one couple so she can get more commission frm new customers! *Hate attitude like this!)

SO! Her 1st impression to me already 'deduct marks' =\ While she was talking to chenseng, I REALLY cannot concerntrade...Coz she was acting tooo fast!! Everything happend too fast~!! I want to listen to DETAILS~! I was SO worried, SO MANY questions to ask her...but she just take it for granded! I cannot tahan anymore....I told chenseng I need to talk to him outside for a while.

SO! We went out.I can't control myself anymore...
I BURST INTO TEARS~~!!

I told chenseng I dun like the girl who serve us, I was not ready for all this....VERY WORRIED!!
Chenseng dun understand.....(*oh NO!) We had a little quarrel...and I was still crying..=''(

After I stop tearing, chenseng give in and concole me...hum....he told me:
"Is best we do this early, dun worry bout money...is gonna be installment anyway..." the attitude part, he will deal with her..-.-..

Fine! We went back in again and NOW I can listen properly and ask d*mn alot of questions...(as usual, she impatient...
