2 days before our weddng - An Chuan and collection of gown

Its time to do An Chuan, a chinese wedding tradtion at which a bridal bed is set up. We did a simple an chuan by ourselves. Putting new bedsheets, shifting bed to position, putting yuan into the wardrobe, placing an chuan stuff like peanuts, red dates, lotus seeds, 2 oranges 2 money bags consisting $9.90 and $8.80 worth of coins.

This symbolises the good health, fortune and the off-springs for the wedding couple.

After we completed our An Chuan, we proceeded our bridal studio Yvonne Creative to collect our gowns.

Reviewing edited wedding photoshoot photos

We went to Yvonne Creative in the evening to review our selected edited photos today. We spent about 2 hrs there.

The photo editor uncle showed us our edited photo and make the necessary amendments after we reviewed them. We also chose our big portait and table top photos.

After which, he cropped the photos in front of us to fit our 15R and 5R photo albums. Selected our front cover material too. Our album will be those simple album with no special layout.

He gave us a soft copy of the edited photos and I will upload the photos in the blog soon! Stay tune!

Thanks to my little bro who had help me to give his opinions on gowns I tried and selected them very quickly. Also thanks to Denise and Yvonne for helping me to try on the gowns.

Selection of groom's attire

Sorry, no pics of groom's suit for now. My hubby make to measured his trousers at YC yesterday. As YC will be providing us 2 coats (white and black), he made a pair of white trousers. He will be wearing his own black pants.

Wedding gown selection

We went to select our wedding (WG), evening (EG) and photoshoot gown last Sunday. I was very happy that my hubby could make it last minute. He was suppose work overtime. My friend, Xiao Yun came along too. She helped to give me some feedback to my gowns which I had tried. Thanks a lot!

We managed to complete our selection of gowns very quickly (in about 2hrs!). My gown changing process was also very fast with 2 Yvonne Creative staff helping me. My hair become very messy (which was my trademark) in the end of the tryout. I an very lucky to select the the wedding gown I want.

Wedding gown selection

Sad and disappointed....

By Edna

Our gown selction day is this coming Sunday. I have been looking forward to it, but William told me last night he had to do overtime work on that day. They have a tight deadline to meet and there are not enough workers. Therefore he had no choice and have to help out.

Although I had asked my friend Xiao Yun to accompany me to select my gown for an extra opinion, I was so sad and disappointed last night because he couldn't go.

I know it is not his fault and some things are not within his control. Under this circumstance, I will have go with Xiao Yun, and most probably I will be the one who will be the busy one trying gowns. Therefore, I think its fine he did not go this time round.

Gown selection appointment

By Edna:

I had just called up Yan Ping our coordinator in Yvonne Creative. We had made our 1st appointment on 16 Mar. Dunno how it will go. We haven't met Yan Ping since she had took over from Feng Jie who used to be our coordinator. Hope that she is as good as Feng Jie.

Looking forward to it and hope that it wll be a fun and enjoyable process!

My bridal studio ~ Yvonne Creative

By Edna:

Our wedding preparations started since May 2006. It was when we 1st started to look around for bridal studios. I was very excited then, I'm going be a bride! The 1st bridal studio which we walk into is Yvonne Creative and it was the only bridal studio which we hunt. They gave me a chance to try out their gowns. They are very beautiful and I like the designs very much!

We further discussed our package and decided to signed up with them even though I don't when I will be getting married. They told us that they can keep the date open and let them know once we confirmed the date.

I had since utilised their services for my ROM in Nov 2006. I had Feng Jie, a coordinator working in YC to help me to arrange my gown, accessories and bouquet. I also tried out their makeup artist, May make up. They both very good but Feng Jie has since left.

There is another coodinator, Yan Ping who called me up and informed me that she will be coordinator. I had also informed her about my wedding date too. Hope that she will be as good as Feng Jie.

I am satisfied with their services so far.
