No Veil

I have decided I don't want to wear a veil when I walk down the aisle! Instead I want to wear a headpiece or a headband...(been influenced too much by blair waldorf). Polka Dot Bride had posted up an entry on The Little White Dresser and her accessories are too cute!! My favourite is the pink flower with white leafy petals!

Jonathan Ong

OMG I have stumbled upon the most cutest photos ever!! I found these at polka dot bride and they are simply gorgeous! Jonathan Ong is soo talented!! I want to do these poses for my wedding/pre-wedding photo session!

Christmas Decorating!!

With exams over as of yesterday (YAY!) and the silly season upon us (only 4.5 weeks left of work for the year), I have the time to focus on wedding planning and Christmas decorating on the weekends.

It's my first Christmas at my new place and I am soo excited to start shopping for Christmas deco!! The Myer catalogue provided lots of colour ideas, silver and purple my favourite! Vogue forums also had a thread on colour schemes, and Country Road had some AMAZING baubles which I was close to buying but couldnt justify spending...I also love love these Christmas deco inspirations and love the whole minimalist look - if only i had a fireplace or a shelf like ones below!!

I'm thinking maybe a small tree, silver and purple or silver and blue or just white with gold accents...
With a $150 budget, I hope I find some really cute decos (and matching wrapping paper).

Love love these flats

I am on the lookout for a cute pair of flats for the upcoming summer season and i love love these ones by Therapy!! Aren't they gorgeous??

Reception venue selected!

Hurray!!

We have decided to have our reception at the Kirribilli club !!! YAY!

Finally...after inspecting some other city locations, we opted for Kirribilli for the view of the harbour bridge and city, the contemporary feel, the spacious and high-ceiling ballroom, and its proximity to Milson's point station as well as the botannical gardens :)

Now after having decided on the reception, we have put a deposit for Sunday 21 November 2010!! So we have decided on a date, very very excited!!

I have an exam coming up in 2 weeks, but once that is over, I will probably start looking at dresses and choosing the bridal party :)

Afer having read Cosmo bride and those brides that have spent next to nothing on their wedding keep saying, its only one day in your life. And its true, only one day...I think I'm more excited about the honeymoon!!

Spring wants

Saving for a wedding is never easy - between us both, our discretionary spending is $300. These days i only window shop which actually satisfies my fashion cravings, teaches me to shop around and to try on things i really do love, and to make wish lists:

1. Studded denim shorts
2. Slouchy tees/tanks
3. Bow hairpiece
4. Skirts
5. Floral dresses
6. Nude-coloured skirts/shorts
7. Patent Pumps

Wharf Restaurant

I have neglected wedding planning for the month of August with birthdays and oxfam trailwalker taking priority - now that's out of the way, we are still on the hunt for venues.

Last friday, we had dinner at the Wharf Restaurant in Walsh Bay. For the location, i'd rate it 9/10, it is a view of sydney harbour and the harbour bridge! For the food, i'd probably rate it 7/10 - we ordered the scallops for entree, pork and fish for the mains. For the decor in the restauarnt, I think the nautical theme is a bit too much for me - high ceilings made of corrugated iron, white chairs and tables (similar to that of a cafeteria) and wooden window panels. Plus it didnt seem large enough to hold 80+ guests...

And so the search continues...I have nothing lined up yet but will start compiling a list of potential venues. As for the church, we still need to book in an appointment...
