Pre Wedding Photo Shoot and Bridesmaids Dress


Pre -Wedding Photo Shoot and Bridesmaids Dress

Doing the backlog on my wedding post, hopefully it will provide some tips on your own wedding preparation. My wedding was held on September this year. I would like to announce officially, there is no more MS on this blog  :p

Props for wedding shoot...I'm sure all couples would love to have their own set of lovely photos for the rest of our lovely marriage and so... after surfing pinterest for many hours...getting many inspirations...I decided to have some interesting props for my pre-wedding shoot!!!

Looking for props was definitely not easy! Nothing on Ebay & Local props rental company seems to fit my budget and therefore, I turned to Taobao for my props. Taobao had become my best friend during the wedding preparation! Awesome "one-stop-site"!

The shoes and the props for the pre-wedding photos shoot. I am selling the "Big Bling Gorgeous Heels" and the props! Click---------> pre-loved

Instead of visiting a manicurist....to save some bucks, I got these fake nails from Taobao for the photo shoot...

Paper-Windmills that I made for the shoot..

Instead of using a VW Kombi (Which is cute), We HAVE to use A Muscular, Handsome, Well-Groomed, Rare & Cool Land Rover DEFENDER of my Hubby for this photo-shoot of a lifetime!!!!!!

Wanna have one for yours too? Feel Free to email me at msandmrslove2travel@gmail.com for more details!!!! ( It will bring soooo much fun and effects for your shoot!)

Erm, the horse will have to be rented elsewhere yea?

Our photographer Henry and our dear friend, Angie and WT who helped us...

Items I would suggest you to bring for the wedding shoot: 

1) Friends who don't mind the heat and trouble!
2) Mini Fan
3) Cold drinks and booze!!!.....having beer and friends on the set make the shooting process very fun...

Next... Bridesmaid dresses. 

This is a big headache as I have 9 bridesmaids..... which means 9 bridesmaid dress!! Getting from local shop is going to cost me about $80 per dress... multiply and $720 would be a sum spent for my girls to the dresses once in their lives??!?!?!....not worth it!! So.. I turned to Taobao again! It only cost me around $20 incl of shipment. With all the wrong sizes and re-ordering, the prices I've paid is still pretty reasonable.

Oh well, I could only say that the quality of the dresses definitely fit the money spent(cheap!)...and furthermore, We couldn't ask more for a dress we would only fit once!

Here is some of the bridesmaid dresses that I shortlisted from Taobao....

My beautiful bridesmaid...(loveliest bunch of crazy Girls!!!)

Thanks for reading this wonderful posts....

Wedding Venue


Wedding Venue

Long before we decided to get marry, we already decide to chose Conrad Hotel as our Wedding Dinner Venue. This is where we first had our dinner together...(Angie N WT wedding dinner) hehe ...But....we found out Conrad Hotel could only held 35 tables maximum. We had to give up the location as we are looking at places that could hold 40-50 tables. By the way, Conrad Bridal Suite is super spacious and nice.

Here is a list of places we went for wedding fair that meet our crietria...

Mandairn Orchard (Grand Ballroom)

Pros: - The High Ceiling, Pillarless , Inteligent Lighting for the Ballroom
         - Location : In the heart of Orchard Road
         - ROM and Dinner Venue is side by side
         - The Pre-Event Hosting area is private

Cons: - The hotel sturcture is abit complicated, guest might be confused where is the ballroom
          - The bridal Suite is small and dated compare to other suite we seen

We wanted to book this hotel as Nick really like their grand ballroom...but when we called the wedding planner and told her that we wanted to go down to place deposit she told us someone had already block the date , she had to check with the person first. We are shocked as we do not know that actually you can block the date while you considering other venue, you will be given priority if someone else wanted the venue. No one had advise us actually we can do that!!! To all brides and groom who are looking for venue...just block the date for whichever hotel you are interested while considering others. You will be alerted if someone else is interested in the venue..they would be at your mercy...

Anyway the couple decided that they wanted the venue...so we had to go hunt for other venue...thou we are disappointed....we tried booking more than one year ahead but still could not get the venue we wanted....** Book Early!!!

The small ballroom (low ceiling)

The Medium Ballroom, this ballroom is very modern and chic looking. It is quite different from your normal wedding ballroom..looks abit like theater hall ...the wedding couple is on the stage. 


Staircase leading up to the Grand Ball Room...

Bridal Suite

Fairmount Hotel

Pros: - Big Ballroom and Tall ceiling Ballroom that can hold up till 100 tables
         - Very nice bridal suite with very nice view
         - Very central Location, located on top of shopping mall, guests can go shopping before dinner

Cons : - Banquet food is outsource
           - The pre-function area is very public 
           - The theme decoration is not attractive
           - Very conventional hall feel

Additional Decoration that you can top up...

ROM Room

The Beautiful Bridal Suite..
Helpers room
All come with this super nice scenic view of Singapore....

Out of curiosity and promises of free meal, we went to the wedding fair at Singapore flyers thou the banquet room is too small for us. The room was nice and the mini buffet treats is elegant and nice. Good for couple who is considering solemnization venue or for corporate events.

Finally we decided to settle for Marriott Hotel as it fits our requirement. We did not view the actual Bridal Suite as we reach Marriott quite late during the wedding fair. From the photos, it look quite modern.

Pros: - The ballroom can fit 50 tables
         - High ceiling , the ballroom comes with intelligent lighting
          - private pre-function area
          - the deals at the wedding fair was good
          - location is in the middle Orchard Road

Cons: - one pillar in the ballroom
          - hotel looks abit old ( they are changing the ballroom carpet and wallpaper this October)
          - Solemnization area not as cosy and convenient as Mandarin Orchard

Long Walkway to the Ballroom, this area would be corner off during the wedding dinner.

Door Gift at the wedding fair....SK2 travel size product haha...
