our wedding: lunches with the bunchies (and my dress)

ooo thanks guys for the love and emails! :)  so love! it makes blogging super fun!

i've received so many questions on the dress i wore. it so deserves an entry of its own!! but anyway, the dress & drop earrings are from dang bridal! daphne & dang are the best. their attention to detail is amazing. every single time i leave their beautiful shop, i am seriously happier. right to my last day! :) their bridal dresses are even more awe-inspiring. if you're getting married, visit them!

to be very frank, i had my reservation about having a gown. way back in march, i already decided on being the cool bride w/o a proper dress. and even after deaf told me i look like a 2 year old at her birthday party, i couldn't care less. i wanted it to be casual, i wanted to be comfortable and be able to EAT in my dress. but long story short, when i tried on this dress, alive and kicking, it was daniel's reaction that changed my mind. he told me "wow! you look beautiful". a little cheesy but true to god, i've gotten "nice", "cute outfit", "very you!", "ok, for a change" out of this man but NEVER "beautiful" so i took the plunge. but this is the LAST form-fitting dress im ever wearing, my wedding dress will be flowy and loose. and 'cuse me gentlemen. there is NOTHING sexy or beautiful about trying to shimmy into a girdle. so there!

this, however, is the dress that ALMOST made the cut!


its really twirly and cute!! and i love it still!!

the entire wedding party then bounced to da paolo at chipbee, our fav pizzeria in singapore! it was everything we wanted. to have a fun and cosy lunch with everyone. AND i got to drink sparkling grapefruit juice at my wedding! that was a definite winner! everyone liked it more than a regular buffet line or set menu! we all played seat roulette and tried different pizzas! it was a blast! :)


i love this picture of mum & dad.


shaun & carol!

    The first picture positively took my breath away. It looks like something right out of a fashion catalogue doin a piece on some mystical fairytale-princess story. Kudos to the photographer and the stars in the picture who made it possible.

  9. I so LOVE petticoat skirt!
    Hi Princess Zhing!
    I am planning for my 10th wedding anniversary next year.
    Your outfit in the first pic was such a inspiration on what to wear.
    Would you be so kind as to mention where it is from and how much? And if its bought overseas, is there a dresshop in Singapore can sells or maybe can come up with a duplicate?

    hihi triz!
    thanks for popping by! of course happy to share!
    my yellow pettiskirt is a vintage piece from japan but i've seen it from ratbagprincess (http://princessratbag.com/) in australia. you can order it online. someone in singapore carries it in a push cart in vivocity but in children sizes. if you're my size (UK size 8), you need a L(above kneelength) and XL for (kneelength)! good luck!
