Tied as one on our fourth finger with Goldheart Jewelry Celestial
They say the most taxing part of the wedding is the banquet itself. That, I have to agree. However, I disagree when people says that it takes a year to plan for a wedding banquet. I booked my hotel (Hilton Singapore) 8 months prior to my wedding date and my wedding date was an auspicious day itself. I got all my 4 gowns and 2 suits settled within the last 2 months of my wedding thanks to Bridal Veil and The Mens Club. Even better, I got my jewelries and wedding bands fixed within the last month. Who would believe that I spent only 2-3 months to prepare for something…

Bespoke Wedding Gowns at Bridal Veil by MichelleHuiMin (Part 1)
This is going to be a lengthly post as I would like to pen down our gowns and suits journey for #AwMayzingJourney. Some couples fly overseas to get their suits and gowns down and some fly over specially for Bridal Veil. Lucky for us, both Bridal Veil and The Mens Club are located in Singapore, and conveniently, right in Orchard – Delfi Orchard – 402 Orchard Road. When James first proposed, we were lost and since I was totally caught off guard, we had no idea where or what the next step was. Other than booking of the hotel, people often tells us to book my gowns early as the…

Is Si Dian Jin (四点金) still important during 过大礼?
Nowadays, a lot of youngsters would conveniently make do without all the traditions. The bottom line is as long as you are happy, that is all that matters right? However, as the elder daughter of a traditional family, some traditions are still very important to me. For example, I feel that Si Dian Jin (四点金) is a must for my wedding as I value the meaning behind this set of jewellery. Generally, it means acceptance into the groom’s family in short. “Translated to mean “four touches of gold”, Si Dian Jin represents the four corners of a roof — the groom’s family’s assurance to the bride that she will always…

It only took us less than a week to shop for our wedding bands!
If you look at the outfits I put on everyday, it is not hard to imagine that I tend to go for things that are minimalist yet classy. The same for my wedding which is happening in a few weeks time! For my wedding gown, I am extremely thankful and privileged to have Michelle HuiMin from Bridal Veil to dress me up for that! What is another big task to settle? Our wedding bands! The top of the mind brand for both James and I was Goldheart Jewelry (www.goldheartjewelry.com) because of the huge selection they have. Furthermore, we have long heard of the highly raved Celestial Star Diamond collection from friends around…

What went behind James & Maybeline’s Proposal
I know I should have started working on this post for the longest time but I just can’t find the time to sit infront of my desktop every night. How it all began: We had a staycation at The Quincy Hotel and everything felt normal because we have staycation reviews very frequently. The only different thing was I had an event to attend that evening and will be away for 3 hours. Obviously, I felt guilty because it was a staycation but I had to leave him alone so a very good brother, TJ, accompanied him throughout. Little did I know that they were just putting on an act. He…

MAYBEL’s Take On Beautiful Wedding Photos in Singapore
We had over 100 shots to choose from and I swear I love every single photo. I cannot simply just pick 10 to share so I will be splitting the photos into two posts – 1 from me and 1 post from James. This will be interesting because you will be able to hear from two gender’s point of view on taking wedding photos. — Every girl wants to have their own fairytale but sadly, fairytales usually only happen in your dreams or movies. We don’t have groundbreaking love stories to tell but as long as you are truly in love, that’s enough. Taking wedding photos can somehow satisfy that…

Wedding Photographs #jamesnmaybel
Sponsored Finally… I know how it feels like to be a bride in a gown. A photoshoot can be very very exhausting because you have to change into the different gowns (especially those with cancan). Both the wet and dry weather doesn’t help much because dry = ultra sunny and hot, and that means melting makeup and feeling sticky all over. If it’s wet, you will get smudge makeup or dirty/wet gowns. But but but…. a wedding shoot is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most of us. Clearly, it will be more than once for me because this is a collaboration haha. My advise is… if you’re getting…

2 gate crashes in a month
So… for the weddings.. 2 consecutive weekends on gate crash is seriously no joke when you have to work during the weekdays.. I work from Tuesday to Saturday so I had to take off for the two gate crashes. First crash: Close blogger friend Xinyi Second crash: Best friend (almost like my sister from another family) I had to wake up at 5.20am on the two Saturday to prepare because I live in the west and both of them live in the East/North East and I had to reach at 7am. It was….. super tiring!! There were moments where I had to zone out because I was too tired. Both…

Wedding Bells
Sigh.. I think I am seriously getting older and older… Other than counting the numbers of lines on your face, you can also estimate the age by counting the number of wedding invitations received. Total wedding invitations received this year: 5 People around me are getting married while I am still pretending to be young. Literally acting cute and having fun. Enjoy some of the pictures taken at the very unique wedding of #chriSmith! Base: Kate Tokyo, Hada Labo BB Air Eyes: StarLash Liquid Eyeliner, Collection Cosmetics Natural Lashes Blush: Revlon Lips: VDL Dress courtesy of Style Bliss: http://miyoconline.com/shopping.php?mode=B&var=6329 I have people googling for my age. So make a guess? What’s…
