Venue - Both
Gown and suit - Flora & Henry respectively
One task down! We have managed to secure a JP - without much effort actually - all thanks to this special but mysterious friend! Haha.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH - You know who you are ;)
I have been searching intensively for designs of dresses and also asking around for recommended tailors. I would say, so far so good. I have somewhat decided on a design from Olive Suite which I saw in a magazine and a few tailors have been shortlisted.
There was a variety show on Channel 8 some time back that helped housewives who want to earn extra cash to set up businesses in areas which they are good in. It just so happened that there was one episode which featured a skilled tailor who is able to magically create a beautiful dress out of a piece of cloth. I rang her up and was quoted $180 and above for a dress that will take around a month to complete.
The other potential one would be Yiqian's mom, who does this for a living! Messaged her a couple of weeks back and she would let me know of her mom's availability as her mom is currently based in Brunei.
Other than tailor-making the dress, I am also open to getting a off-the-rack. Joo has volunteered to go with me on a quest to shop for a dress! Who would be more suitable than the girl who has just had her ROM this year??
I have moved a step further to source for a hairstylist to do both of our hair on that day and the most suitable person to do the job is none other than our hairstylist, Edward! Like what Rui Lian said, he's the Ah Bu to us, just like David Gan is to Fann Wong and Christopher Lee. Haha.
We went down to the salon in the evening for Henry's haircut and told him that we would like him to do up our hair that day. He readily agreed, of course and I could tell that he was more than willing to do it!
However, one downside is that he will not be able to do our hair at the venue as the salon does not provide such on-site hairstyling services. This would mean we have to head down to the salon a couple of hours before, rush down to the venue for preparation thereafter and run the risk of having my hair messed up while doing makeup and dressing up. Nonetheless, we are still keeping Edward at the top of our minds.
After the haircut, he even brought us to one of the gown boutiques at that level to show us some beautiful dresses in the display window, knowing that I have been searching for one. He gave some suggestions as to what kind of dresses he thinks will suit me. It was just great to have some advice from someone who is constantly at the edge of fashion!
As he continued in contributing ideas from his professional perspective, he told us a few hairstyles that he has done before and excitedly threw in some ideas for mine. I could sense his enthusiasm a few miles away! He makes me feel so excited and I am simply looking forward to that day..
I feel so blessed with so many kind souls around us! :)
