Inspirations of a post-wedding bride...

My inspirations...Thinking back to the day of my wedding,

i must say that i am happy it's finally over!

How does the saying go?....

everyone has their 15minutes of fame... and i guess mine came and went by so quickly i'd have missed it if i'd blinked!

wonderful idea for namecards..













It's been 10 months since my wedding, and finally i'm able to smile when i think back to the days leading up to that 1 particular day, albeit a very special day for any bride!

yep, in my heart of all hearts, i do miss that day... i wish i could relive it over and over again... just so i could wear my wedding dress all over again... *sigh*... and mind you, i am not one of those who reminisce on the past.

it's the simple details that matter..

but back to the point here, the days leading up to that one day proved to be a 'make it or break it' period for me & my other half... who's now known as my husband... ew.

all the planning, details, go sees & research flew out the window on THE DAY... nothing else really matters on that day apart from your partner, your make-up & dress, the food you'll be chowing down after weeks or months of starving yourselves for that day.... yes, that's the god forsaken truth!

which led me to wonder why i had wasted so much time on menial details that really didn't matter to me or anyone else for that matter, in the end!

pretty favours for any occasion.

Yes, there WILL be someone who will criticise

your dress, the venue, the food or favors, this is a very pretty table setting i would have wanted for a summer wedding...

or your make-up, but that's only natural...
we can't please EVERYONE! so why don't you just please yourself?! Do what you want to do, however you decide to do it!

a very pretty silhouette but maybe not with satin (too stiff)...

'Cos you know what i've learnt?... That people won't remember what you did special on your wedding day, nor will they care after a few days ( if you're lucky!)...

the different tones & textures of red are just simply stunning!

I know a few couples who are still paying off their wedding bills many months after their BIG DAY... (present company included)...

so i took it upon myself to write about what really IS important on your big day...

what an elegant arrangement!

without breaking out the little piglet that's been sitting pretty on the nightstand in your bedroom for many years, saved up for that rainy day...

but then again, to each their own...

i may not think that having a beautiful cake really matters but there will be those who insists on having the finest chocolates flown in from belgium just to decorate the icing on the cake!

my ultimate favourites for wedding cakes!

What i'm trying to say here is, think oh-so-carefully about what you really want on your wedding day and what you think would be memorable for you...

I was a bride on a budget, although i sure as hell didn't act like it or think like it!

i would have loved this hairstyle... very informal...

ahhh, perfection...

I've included images of things that had inspired me during my days leading-up-to for reference, maybe to those of you who might find it useful... enjoy!

everyone's favourite bombshell at her best!

;p
