Pre-wedding Photoshoot!

I haven't been blogging since I am back in Singapore, been really busy meeting up with friends and family, settling our pre-wedding photoshoot stuff, applying for HLE, sourcing for contractors for our new house. Oh my, so many things to do.

Anyway, I am going to blog about my pre-wedding photoshoot!

Xmas eve - Choosing gowns and suits for photoshoot
We went to Feline Bridal to choose our gowns and suits on Xmas eve. I chose 5 gowns with different styles, took us around 3 hours to choose my gowns and my hubby's suit Hubby got a white suit and a grey suit. We were not allowed to take pictures while trying the gowns so I quickly took one after I am done choosing the gowns when the staff were not around.


I have a white wedding ball gown, a white wedding mermaid gown, a peachy pink ball gown, a flowy dark blue evening dress and a light blue "Hi-Lo" flowy dress. The white wedding ball gown and the light blue 'Hi-Lo' dress were for outdoor shoots.

The MUA asked me to go color my hair, do manicure and pedicure, and trim my eyebrows. Okay, our pre-wedding photoshoot was on 27th Dec, I only got 2 days to do all these.

So I did my hair color on Xmas day, and manicure and pedicure, and eyebrow trimming on 26th Dec. I'm all ready for 27th photoshoot!

27th Dec - Pre-wedding photoshoot
There's an unhappy incident with Feline Bridal's boss, Rachel before this day. I called her a few days earlier to confirm our photoshoot date to be on 27th Dec and she suddenly tell me that there's no slot for us on 27th Dec, and she doesn't sound apologetic at all and start telling me the alternative dates available. After a while, my hubby called her again to confirm on the dates and she told him that she had made a blunder and we could have our photoshoot on 27th Dec. Okay, since we were able to proceed with the photoshoot, I let it pass. But since then, I have made it a point to really double confirm our appointment with them to avoid any cock ups.

On 27th, I got a serious flu and sneeze attack that morning! I kept sneezing and my eyes kept tearing and it's swollen. The MUA couldn't put on any eye makeup for me as I kept tearing and we already decided to change day for the photoshoot. 

I was so disappointed and sad that I cried because one year ago, during my ROM, I had flu too. I seriously hated the flu bug. But miraculously, after eating some food and drinking some hot soup, my flu got better and we went back to Feline Bridal. My MUA Lily, was able to help me put on a nice make-up. She also helped me designed my hairstyle for each dress and I loved all the hair-styles she designed! She knew exactly what I wanted! Thumbs up for Lily! I am so happy that she will be my MUA for my actual day wedding too!

Our photographer was Kenny. Well, I thought the poses he asked us to do were quite old-school and we were quite unnatural. We thought the photographer would have ideas for us so we didn't spend time to think about how we wanted to pose for the photoshoot. We didn't really have an idea so we just follow the old-school pattern lor. Come to think of it, if we have the time, we should have thought of the poses and the theme we wanted for our photoshoot, so that the result will be more special and more memorable.

Oh, you can bring your own props for the photoshoot, so do prepare some cute stuff for it!

I would love to take pictures of my looks that day but I have no time to take at all, time was so tight between changing gowns, setting the hair-styles and posing for photoshoot.

I only managed to take one when we were on the way for outdoor photoshoot.

So pretty right! Lol!

Anyway, my outdoor photoshoot started rather unpleasantly. Just 5 minutes into the photoshoot at Hort Park, and I was stung by a hornet! I dunno how the stupid hornet flew into the can can of my ball gown and sting my butt! I kept screaming and jumping. Hubby helped to flip my gown many times before we saw a hornet flew out from it. I was so scared that I broke down and cried. It's lucky that my make-up did not smudge. The MUA did not accompany us out for the outdoor photoshoot. I really dunno what to do if the make-up smudged.

We immediately left the place and proceeded to other places for the photoshoot after the stupid hornet incident.

The photographer found a handicapped toilet for us and I changed into the light blue 'Hi-Lo' dress with hubby's help. We proceeded to the beach and then to Marina Bay Sands.

At the end of the day, we were super tired, but we were happy with our pretty shots, except for the stupid hornet incident.

1 Jan - Photo choosing for wedding album
5 days have passed and we were here at Feline Bridal again to choose the photos for our wedding album. Very fast hor? Because they told us that we were already quite late for the photoshoot if we want our wedding album to be ready by our wedding date, 14 March, so they rushed for us la.

Our package includes 35 photos in 10 themes with a total of 20 pages in the album, a 3-in-1 montage, a table top photo with frame and a small 20 photos booklet.

After our first round of filter, we were still left with 74 photos that we liked. The price they quoted us was S$3008 for 66 photos in the album, return of all our hard copies photos and a casing for the album. We definitely dun wanna pay the additional S$3008 la. So we decided to filter off some more photos.

After second round of filter, still left with 54 photos. The lady then quoted us S$1180 for a total of 49 photos in 13 themes in the album. Hubby accepted it, and we filter out 5 more photos. 

But after that, many friends advised that we shouldn't have spent that money because they dun really see the wedding photos after their wedding. But anyway, at that point of time, we really dunno which set of photos to filter out already. So we just paid and we can have the photos we liked.

Heehee, so looking forward to the wedding album! I think hubby and I look great in the photos! ^-^

The Salon I Keep Returning to: Studio M KSL Hair Salon @ KSL City Mall

It's been a while since I crossed the straits to pamper myself at JB. Whenever I'm in JB and want to change my hairstyle or give my hair some well deserved treatment, Studio M is always the first salon that comes to my mind. I have visited Studio M @ KSL City Mall (previously known as Govin Hair) many times as I love the great service and friendly staff there. Price wise, it's definitely super value as you are getting top notch service and best quality products such as Mucota or Oway on your precious hair. As a person who always want good deals, I have researched before and hey, there's no way I can find that kind of price for treatments, perm, rebond or hair color using top quality products such as Mucota or Oway in Singapore! Look at my lifeless hair with the uneven hair color. It's time to go Studio M hair salon to pamper my hair and give it a new look! Studio M is located at ground floor of KSL City Mall, beside Sasa. My hair stylist was Ben.

Mucota Omega Rebonding at Focus Hairdressing

I initially wanted to try out volume rebonding at some Korean hair salon in Singapore but the price was really expensive, around $350 for my hair length and I was told that the effect was just like soft rebonding, except that it gives the hair more volume. For my hair length, the hairstylist usually will recommend me to perm the ends to have the romantic Korean feel. But I know I will be lazy to maintain the curls. So I dropped the idea.  I saw many good reviews online for mucota rebonding at Focus Hairdressing. It's located at Cuppage Plaza Level 1 which is just  5 mins walk from Somerset MRT. I have previously tried mucota hair treatment at Creme Hairdressing  (Chinatown Point outlet) and I really love the treatment effect. You can read about my mucota treatment experience at Creme Hairdressing . So i decided to try out Mucota rebonding. I originally planned to take the mucota dyna hair rebonding since it is the cheapest kind of mucota rebonding that Focus offers, it's

My Favourite Salon: Studio M Hair Salon @ KSL City Mall

Do you have the same problem as me? Want to dye, perm, rebond or do treatment for your hair but after looking at the price of the established hair salon in Singapore you just wanna shake head and walk away from the salon. Lucky for me, I found a good, cheaper hair salon with excellent service and experience just across the Straits! At KSL City Mall at JB! Govin has changed it's name to Studio M, located at the same location. Ground floor of KSL City Mall. I had gone thrice and I was very happy with my every experience there! My first and third time there was for hair and scalp treatment and they were really good! The scalp massage was so comfortable, I literally could fell asleep while they worked on my hair! The most special experience was during the wait at the hair wash area. They provided aroma therapy there by dripping some lavender essential oil into the hot water and I nearly slept. My second time there was to colour and cut my hair. Oh my! Their hair colour has
