There’s absolutely no room for excuse for a bad hair day on your very own wedding. Style those locks of yours and dazzle your guests with your presence. There are so many different looks and dos to choose from, it’s certainly quite a frenzy picking the suitable one! Good news is, there are a few classic ways to wear your hair that never die out.
The Sleek Ponytail

Prim and sophisticated. This is the style for any hour, round the clock. Wear the ponytail high and add in a hairpin for that finished touch.
The Side Bun
From: simplyperfectweddings.blogspot.com
Elegant and good for a hot day out at a garden or beach wedding. Insert flowers or your favourite hair comb into the bun to make it look extra special, or wear it loose with your fringe let down for a more airy and casual feel.
Luxurious curls

A look that speaks volumes. Perfect for brides with thick locks of hair, otherwise if you really love it you can get your stylist to throw in some extensions.
The Stylish Elf
From: ninareneedesigns.blogspot.com
Who says cropped hair has to be tomboyish? Add a dash of ladylike charm with a feather or tulle hair clip, or pair with a patterned headband. Play up the elfin princess with a diamante encrusted tiara.
Happy styling!

It’s fun to dabble in a little art and crafts during leisure time. Who knows, your little creations just might become sweet mementos for your lovely family and friends at your wedding day. For those who are adept at knitting and creating all things made of yarn, wouldn’t it be thoughtful to knit some pretty and useful wedding favours? Nothing says “Thank you for being here” and “You’re special to me” better than a handmade gift.
So here I’d like to share some really eye-catching crafts that I stumbled upon to inspire you for your wedding!

Happy knitting! ;D
The Candy Crafters Call

Still searching for that perfect wedding favour for your special guests? Well, you can’t get any more colourful and personable with handmade candy carrying your initials!
There are 2 candy shops that can give you just that: Sticky Singapore and Made In Candy. I’ve tried the candies from both shops before and I must say I really love the tangy sweets! And they’re so pretty and colourful, they make me feel cheerful just by looking at them.
What’s really interesting is how the candy is freshly made on the spot! I found myself spending quite a while watching the candy chefs at Made In Candy twist and mold the lovely sugar. The fruity aroma of syrups melding with the sugar is really entrancing.
Both shops offer great tasting rock candies that is sure to please everyone of all ages. It’s totally crafted by hand so you can customise the centres of your candies with your initials and wedding date for favours. There’s no way anyone can say NO! to attractive candy 
You can visit their sites here to take a look at their services:

It all starts with the ring

Yes it does. The roller coaster rush to book your banquet tables, customise your outfits, hire a florist and confirm the guest registry all in time for the big day; none of this would have started if the question wasn’t popped and the engagement ring presented.
I guess that’s why men face a lot of jitters when choosing the all important, memorable engagement ring. The ring which eternalises the moment you both say “Yes!”.
So how should we go about selecting this special ring? Or for ladies, dropping hints
The most practical way to begin would be to observe your partner’s style and fashion. Look out for favourite colours, shapes and maybe even metal preference. You can infer this from the daily accessories usually worn.
Next, take your time deciding on the cut of the diamond. Always request to view the range of cuts available at the shop, from princess to emerald, from marquise to heart. Be sure you are making an informed choice and you are satisfied with the diamond’s sparkling power.
Lastly, don’t hold back with the flashiness when deciding your buy! The engagement ring will symbolise that deciding moment, so go all out if you can and get something elaborate and fancy. This is after all different from the simpler wedding bands that you must wear every day and women love to be pampered once in a while. So indulge a little on an exclusive engagement ring, don’t be afraid to show off that “emblem” for your next step in life.
How do you do!
