bridesmaid duty: girls in blue

my dear friend from a million years ago got married over the weekend and dressed her bridal entourage in aqua blue after her favorite jewellery store, T&Co. i wrote about the brilliant dresses a few months ago but only learnt that she got the boys' ties from diaso! each tie for $2! what a find!! im such a big fan of daiso i can't even begin to explain!! a definite must-go for planning a wedding on a shoe-string budget. and at our age, seriously, how many of us are sitting on a pot of gold, right?? but thats another long discussion for yet another day! :) 

after a seriously long day of hard negotiating and door games starting at 4am. we finally made peace with the boys and gave away out friend *tear*. the crowd voted against their original plan to go to marina barrage (SUPER HOT at noon!!!) and we ended up at the airport, t3! sweet sweet air-con!  by this time, we were already all spent and eye-baggy, hardly the right mode for photoshoot. but photo ready we were!! :)


dudes!! whats with the waning enthusiasm? but boon is totally elated he caught the bouquet!! :)


girls in blue & the blushing bride! i absolutely loved how siti wore her blue! so classy! i feel so scantily clad next to her.


a fun little toy to keep us company!!


see you two, love birds! turns out the buggage trolleys were excellent for carting the bride between shoots and videographer has a instant panning device. very smart but i swear i have a gazillion amazing shots with the videographer's butt/trolley/random assistant's back in them. *sigh* oh well, at least they wil get a fantabulous video at the end of the day!! :) 


i wore my bonito chico dress as a toga with a huge corsage to hide my arm flub.


i loved the colour and fabric but its a little too clingy which made me concious for the entire morning!! i paired it with my zara suede lace pumps for extra height.

hope you're having a fabulous mid-week! love, zhing xx
