I’ve been thinking of the house renovation, wedding theme, color schemes, etc etc etc … almost everything but my wedding gown… and guess who has been urging me to start on my gown selection? My fiance… and thank god for that !

All these time, the wedding preparations felt like “just another event” for me… until 2 days ago, I finally went gown shopping with my Maid of Honor, June. And when I put on the first gown, then it started to hit me… “I am getting MARRIED !!” .. it’s MY wedding !!! not JUST another event.. and that night.. I tried about 6-7 gowns.. out of which.. one of them was so beautiful, I didn’t want to take it off !!! I wish I have the photo for it, but its a “no photography” regulation

But oh well, that has kick start me in wanting to look for THE right gown.. so here we go.. I’ll update this list very often.. both for the brides and bridesmaids… oh, and did I mention? That I’ve got 8 of them in all?? yup.. we’re calling it my army of bridesmaids… lol..

Bridesmaids (including MOH)

My favorite style so far … Black tube dress with red sash.. simple, elegant and yet romantically cute … never underestimate the power of the little black dress

Choosing a black color theme also means that most, of not all, my bridesmaids will be carry black very well.. instead of some colorful choices like red, pink, purple, green, etc … those look good on photos.. but not everyone will be comfortable wearing that kinda colors …
