Updates so far..

Let's see what are the updates so far...

The makeup artist that I had an appointment with has been booked for 25 Sep. Which means that I will have to search for another makeup artist. I posted my request on FB and some of friends have recommended their friends or their makeup artist who did their makeup for them on their wedding day. I have an appointment with one of friend's partner in work. He is a photographer and she is the makeup artist, and they work together. She called me and we spoke for abit, and I asked my friend if she was Taiwanese and it turned out that she was. Haha!! Seng's colleague recommended her cousin's makeup artist. The price is pretty reasonable but I want to see how my friend's partner works out. If she is good then I might go with her. I hope she does not mind my Mandarin. Lol!

Seng has already put the deposit down for the photographer and videographer. I think I might have mentioned this in my previous post. Lol! In any case, we have that out of the way. Now, we are looking into our ROM dress and suit, which we will go to our respective tailors to have them started on. I'm so excited about getting my cheongsum done. Can't wait for CNY to pass. Lol!

And after CNY has passed, Seng and I will have to arrange for the meet the parents session. I keep reminding my parents to prepare their list of items that they might want to ask for for dowry, but I think so far, they have not jotted down anything. Lol! We will also need to consolidate the ROM guest list. It's a pretty long list of people, when Seng and I counted just the other day. It's crazy! I will have to start playing around with designs for the ROM invitation cards. Haha!

I've another problem on hand right now, but hopefully there will be a decision and that everything will go smoothly. Sigh..

Anyhoots, currently I'm waiting for my makeup trial appointment this Saturday, and hopefully we get along just fine and that I can make a decision on the makeup artist and get that out of the way. Lol!

Stay happy and healthy!

Love,

MUA and Invitation cards

I'm still looking around for a makeup artiste. Has anyone got anyone to recommend?

In any case, someone one FB left me a message in my inbox, and honestly, I really do not know if it was a coincidnece or not, but this person is a makeup artiste. I contacted her and she has given me her price list. It seems reasonable. There's another recommended by my friend, but her FB page does not seem to have anything to do with bridal makeup. But her pricing seems really affordable too. I'm asking the first MUA on certain details but her list is very comprehensive, and the prices include the trial and ampoules. The only down part is that she charges an extra fee on the 2nd march in makeup and hair for the actual day, but I guess that is ok. Waiting for her to get back to me and I will take it from there. Oh~ I found another makeup artiste, just emailed her. There are loads of great reviews on her FB page.

I would also have to print invitation cards for my ROM, more so my guests will know when, where and how to get there. Looks like I will get to do my postcard style invitation cards afterall. Yippee!!!! =D So, I'm looking around for inspirations and I'm kind of leaning towards the oriental style, but still keeping my options opened. I'm also playing around with our names to create a monogram that I can use for the inivitation cards. But somehow, my creative juices are not really flowing lately. I think I lack sleep. Hmm...

What else?

Ah yes! I will need to look up for designs and inspirations for my Cheongsum. I'll be going to the tailor after the Chinese New Year to get my dress started on. =D Seng and I will need to look into the meet-the-parents session, which will happen after the Chinese New Year as well. It's like it's going to be full speed ahead once the Chinese New Year is over. It's beginning to get more exciting!

Went to Ikea, and just got home. I got a message from the first MUA. She's available for my ROM, but for my AD, there are 2 other couples asking about that date and whoever puts the deposit down first gets her for that day. So, right now I'm thinking do I just go into it and book her for both days, or book her for the ROM and then at a later date get another MUA for my AD. I don't really want t book her for both days coz I've not tried her services, and the ROM is a good chance to try her out, and if I like her then I book her for the AD. It looks like I don't have that option. Hmm.... Kinda in a dilemma. -_- Just spoke to Seng about it, I will sleep on it tonight and make my decision tomorrow. =D

Stay happy and healthy!
