Supplier Review: The Dress

in

Yes, I had 2 wedding dresses. Only one of them was an actual "bridal gown" while the other one was just a cocktail dress, but they were both wedding dresses. I got the Singapore dress - a simple, flattering, red dress - from Spoil Yourself. On sale. Score!

The more intense affair, however, was the bridal gown I wore for the Perth wedding. As you may know from my first post on the matter, I went to Pearls Bridal to get my dress off the rack. I got a fantastic deal on the price, which came well under budget. This is my review of my experience with them.

Supplier Review: Hair & Makeup

in ,

After my previous booking with Sapphire fell through, I'd managed to book in with two artists via Living Dolls Makeup Artistry. Now, given that Living Dolls (and most other mobile hair/makeup services) is basically a collection of freelance artists being organised under the same brand, I'm going to do this review in separate parts. Bear with me.

The Croqeumbouche Quest - Part 1 of 2

in ,

Blake and I both knew very early on that we didn't want a traditional wedding cake. I don't find the process to be an all together appealing one, and I have not been able to taste the difference between the red velvet cakes served at the various weddings we've attended. Don't get me wrong, I loved them and they all tasted great; I just didn't see the point in repeating what other people had already done when I wasn't enthused about the idea in the first place.

Supplier Review: The Cars

in , ,

In what was perhaps one of the most popular posts I made in this blog, I mentioned the hiring of wedding cars. Specifically, one amazingly gorgeous car and one simpler, air-conditioned car. Well, now that we're post-wedding, I feel totally okay revealing the make and models of the cars involved. I'll also quickly review the company we used, just in case anyone was looking for recommendations/suggestions on where to go (or perhaps just doing some pre-planning).

Supplier Review: Venue

in , ,

The venue was Swanbrook Winery & Cafe, which we chose because we know the owners. It wasn't to get "mate's rates" or "pengyou price" - it was purely because I knew they'd take great care of us. Not because we're mates necessarily, but mainly because they're good people. Add on that I love Swanbrook's look and we had a winner here pretty much from day dot. Here's a quick review of our experiences in having Swanbrook as our wedding/reception venue here in Perth.
