wedding first peek!!!

awww i was hoping for a bigger pic! isn't this cute??? david's bridal has it all! this is sooooooo much fun. i'm going to do more!

average engagement ring size

according to this article, the average engagement ring size is about 0.38 carats. but in cities like new york and boston, it goes up to 1.6 carats!!! california averages at 1 carat and southern states averaging between 0.25-0.4 carats.

compare this with beyonce's 18 carat, $5millionUSD ring!!!! what a diva!

yum. i love ring porn.

and now we're broke... again...

just paid the deposit on our photographer!!! yay!!!

now we're looking forward to our next pay cheques!

its called a 'ring wrap'

guess i learn something new everyday!

my wedding set!!!

i'm soooooooooooo happy to get my rings- i've been wearing them the past 3 hours. i'm allowing myself to wear it till i see hkmummy so she can put it in her safe. they're super duper pretty! the first pic shows the set, and the second pic is how its put together, its basically like wearing 3 rings, sandwiched together. but the top and bottom rings are made into one and my engagement ring slides in the middle. yay bling bling!!!

brown suit?

i've always been a bit unsure about brown suits... sorta weird, but found this on online which looks okay! or i'm thinking of a tan coloured suit with a brown tie to keep with the 'simple' bit of our wedding. we want guests to feel relaxed and i reckon the groom really sets the scene with what colours he wears... hkgroom is thinking of maybe not wearing a tie. hmmm.....

theme and latest inspiration board

so we got our colours sorted ages ago... but didn't have a formalised theme. we do now! we're going with 'simple elegance' with our chocolate brown/ivory wedding colours.

yay! love it

polaroids for guestbook????

woahooo!!! the polaroid is back!!! just found out today. super cool and excited.

i've been thinking of getting polaroids of guests and sticking them in a scrapbook instantly so people can write comments next to it...

it’s called the POGO series and there are two products… one is the digital camera + printer in one, and the other is a mobile printer (just prints out photos). it is a 5 megapixel camera, which isn't great, but it's okay i guess. only downside to this is that the pictures are quite small 2×3inches… good thing is that it is printed on sticky paper, so you can just peel off the back and stick the pics anywhere.

Logon sells it but apparently the digi cam + printer is sold out but will come back mid Jan.
the digi cam+printer is about $1500HKD
the film comes in 30 per pack for $80HKD

happy birthday to me + rings for him

had a very lovely birthday today. woke up late, did a bit of work, and then headed out for high tea at the peninsula. yummy classic high tea with scones, devonshire clotted cream and jam, pastries, finger sandwiches, unlimited tea... all together with a string quartet. fantastic!

then also checked out bvlgari for potential rings for hkgroom... found this baby! it fit really nice, was super comfy (apparently) and made me a little sad that i wouldn't be getting one if hkgroom was going to get one... maybe i'll get one anyway.... teeheehee. they do a gorgeous one with diamonds in the middle bit =)

didn't get it though, want to still keep our options open and try on other styles/colours/materials. hkgroom is being really good about it all and is trying on different rings (even though he pulls a face about walking into jewellery stores!) gosh this one is nice!!!

we found him!!!

we have just our photographer! he used to work as a war photographer as part of a british army and he's shot photos of prince william! how awesome is that??? he takes fantastic photos and has experience at shek o golf club, so he knows where to go for great shots. sweet! another thing off the list... needless to say, i'm stoked! =)

happy new year!

happy new year! woahoooo! i can finally say i'm getting married this year!

meeting another potential photographer tomorrow, and then going to high tea at the peninsula as my birthday present from hkgroom. very exciting!
