Getting Started - Part 1 : Internet

Let me go through what I've done in the history.. do a little bit of Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah.. ha ha ha. When the wedding date has been fixed and the reception place has been secured, I have then begin with My Dream Gown Journey. You may be wondering, why you want to surf for gowns? Go to bridal studio can settle everything but then after i visit a few bridal studio and even paid deposit for 1 of them but in the end, I decided to get my own pre wedding photography done with my own gowns.....

The very first thing I do is to surf the net and look at tonnes and tonnes of gown pictures that I can find... With the help from my best ji muis and shopping kaki Tam and Ban, we enjoy ourselves every night online chat and surf dozens of bridal websites to look for the right design.
Design from Jenny Lee @ http://www.jennyleebridal.com/

The very first design that I fell in love with... my other half was saying, O-M-G, looks like a piece of nice cloth wrap over your body... ha ha ha.. but until today although I dont get the exact same gown on my wedding day but I still love this,.....

Yeah, you will notice that all these designs are very very simple. Nothing spectacular nothing fancy but yet it is very nice...

Every bride's dream gown might be different, some dream to be a princess in those "once upon a time" stories, some want to be elegant, some want to be looked sweet, some want to be hollywood style.. many many more....

I am those type who want my look to be elegant and classy. Nothing sweet or fantasy... thus, I ended up browse a lot of simple design and collected a few of them... but then again when comes to photoshoot, this may not work, i will share more in coming discussions..








Design from David Bridal


Some of those websites that I have been through and I shall add on from time to time:

http://www.brides.com/
http://www.jlmcouture.com/
http://www.alfredangelo.com/
http://www.pronovias.com/**
many more coming..............

You may notice, how come I never mentioned about Budget right? Haha to be frank, I did not prepare any fixed budget as I know with my attitude, when I want something, I will try all ways to get it done.... kinda bad right? But I am not big spender as well so a lot of time I do it the budget way... hehehe I have about 8 Gowns but all in not more than 8k....

** this website becomes my all time favourite now after I came back from Designer Bridal Room...... I'll let you know why soon........

Finally, I've drawn a skeleton of my first blog topic that is to be based my gown selection journey:

1. Getting Started
2. My First Gown
3. Custom Made Gown Experience
4. Used Gown
5. Quality Gown (Value of Money?)
6. Imported Gown
7. My Surprise Gown
8. My Dream Gown....
9. Actual Day Vs Pre Wedding Gown
10. Journey to your dream gown (Tips and Tricks)

Although, a lot of people would think I am kinda crazy but then I enjoy every single moment of it and until today, I am still inspired to continue to see nice gowns, put in own and just snap a picture on that.... yeah yeah I know i am nuts..

I am still collecting lots of gown photos, links, contacts, material etc.. I am no expert about fashion, in fact I dont really have any fashion sense...but then I still like to see , read and hopefully will be able to eliminate my "3 minutes temperature" attitude to continue my blogging on everything that a bride might needs on her big day.........
