Wedding - #21 My Solemnisation Dress

THE LITTLE WHITE DRESS
Say goodbye to the LBD and hello to the LWD! When it comes to weddings, traditionally white is still the preferred colour. so what do you do when the little black dress is best suited for every occassion and now it's not?

Well, so i got a little inspiration from browsing off the internet. and hmm...when i was young, i used to admire my primary school friends who went for ballet classes and dressed in pink tutus.
I wanted so much to learn ballet when i was young. Anyway, my chance is HERE!!!

And i decided to be creative and made a solemnisation dress that is tailored like a ballerina!


punk tutu-like dress! i was quite inspired by the bustier heart shaped top! Although i fringed at the bottom. Too frilly for me! LURVE the shoes though...i knew there was a lit' Lolita in me.


LURVE this one with its matching sailor like top and pink waistband! So sweet! It would have been perfect if i was getting solemnised in a yacht or by the beach. OR at a sailing club. But i was getting solemnised in a garden theme chapel...


here are some more inspirational shots which i got from the web! So adorable!!!!


my little white dress, almost all done for my solemnisation day.

So here comes...Prima donna velle.

Wedding - #11 Solemnisation Dress

The little dress
Ever thought of your solemnisation dress? and have no clue what you really want?
Well i was just like that! Well not TOTALLY clueless, at least i have the length of the dress in mind!
I knew that my wedding and evening gown was something on the long(maybe even 'solemn') and probably with a little wee bit of train.(see what I mean)

So i wanted my solemnisation dress to be short!(+ fun, quirky like me+ DIFFERENT) As for colours, i wasn't sure. Being an avid fan of pink, i was wondering whether should i skip the usual ivory and white colours and opt for something different. Not that nobody haven't had a dress other than white before but WEDDING is most probably once in your lifetime, who cares who has done it before, cos it wasn't YOU. NOW it's YOUR turn and YOUR time.

Remember my last post did mention about Olive suite at Delfi's, well I think here's the place to get some quick ideas!!! well at least i've gotten some here. Plus you can try their dresses and if you think their prices are abit steep, then go to another seamstress or tailor who can do even cheaper for you. I remember the cheapest quote i got from them for a simple dress was about $350. If you want to add extras like lace, or a frill, they will charge you accordingly. Think was about $50-$100 more...waiting time for a dress was about 2-4weeks. So i thought they are pretty fast. As long as you plan your time well, then you can decide later which dress to pick!




They also sell some pretty neat accessories here which you might consider and if you are within budget. And see that quirky dress with the pink 'petals' for the bottom of the dress? I almost got that one!!! hahaha cos i wanted to have a garden theme party and IT'S pink!!! This one Jessica said was a 'limited' edition so it cost about $500. *hearts a flutter*
At that time my mind was going 'wow', do i really need to spend so much just for a dress which most probably I was going to wear it just one time at my OWN party. Don't think i will pluck up enough courage to wear it again elsewhere!!! hahahahah

preparation for a wedding can be such a chore at times but enjoy it while it lasts cos when u look back then, I'm sure it will be full of sweet memories....

now i just want to check out the shops at Felt and Lavender House for more short dresses!

Spring dresses!

that day i was browsing and this dress caught my eye. it was selling at $34.95. cet apres-midi i had to buy my lait et kailan. so i went back to the same shop to take a look at the new arrivals et this dress was on sale for $19.90! i thot ThisFashion back home will cost roughly the same amount for a dress. So this is a good buy! i wish the Bardot dresses would be just as cheap as this....

Anna Sui

i once did this personality test and the results showed that i had a fashion sense that resembled an Anna Sui. A girl who loves all the frills and lace yet at the same time tormented to being a punk and rock girl. I love black and pink. The vintage and gothic coupled with cutesy and romantic feel. impossible rite? i know.

But somehow, Anna sui always manages to do it quite well with her designs....screaming loud with textures, prints and colours. Vibrant hues of oranges and vermillion and lavender this spring. coupled with intense gold and silver accessories, sprinkled with all the ornamental details and intricate cravings.

Imagine that black fur on the end of ur sleeve dress? weird? and add a deliciously vintaged gold belt to the waist area. Double that quirkiness factor! Or frills all over the collar of a boat neck dress with 'hindi' prints all over ur white washed summer dress. venice vs delhi. omigaud! freaking resemblance to the dolly tablecloth. well. mismatch and so wrong.

i love Anna Sui.
