作者: Catpiano 時間: 2009-6-8 11:12

I only changed 3 times ja ..

Cause when I went home in the afternoon, ( after taking some pic ) not much time .. just 15 min .. so I just picked 3 suits ... ( I should select them the night before )

I ended up have to do ironing at the hotel ... lol

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-8 13:29

yeah i was thinking about 4 dresses too (wedding dress, chinese gown, and two evening gowns) but i might hv one more... has anyone hv 5 dresses on their big day?

作者: fibbi 時間: 2009-6-8 13:39

I had 4 dresses: Wedding dress, "qwa" (the chinese one), one evening dress from HK, and one dress to farewell the guests (comes with the local prewedding photo package). And I already feel quite "busy"...

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-8 13:44

maybe i should keep it at 4... but i saw one at BCBG which is really nice!!

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2009-6-8 13:45

amm... i've helped a few friends' weddings. I think try not to change TOO often... cos you will ended up spending more time in the bride's room than with your guests!
And at the end ... they may not remember all the dresses.

Yeah, I agree. 4 is like "max" I think 5 would be way too busy.

作者: jusumsuen 時間: 2009-6-8 13:55

I believe I'm going to have 3. (or 4 the maximum) A wedding gown for the ceremony, Qipao for tea ceremony and then evening gown to farewell the guests, and maybe another one in cocktail style for the after party with friends.

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-8 13:57

i think 3 is not enough.. and 5 maybe too much, but again i've known people who got 5 dresses and seem to be alright during the dinner....

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-6-8 13:59

I think 3 is enough.. i am planning to have one white wedding dress.. one "qwa" and one evening dress~

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-8 14:01

i guess four dresses would be alright..... since if i am going to wear one for farewell to the guests...

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-6-8 14:04

heeehee~~ coz i am just unable to afford one more dress rental =P almost $1000 for 3 dress la.. one more will killing me ><

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-6-8 14:05

by the way..where do u girls look for the dresses for ur bridemaids and MOH??

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-8 14:07

tequila 發表於 8-6-2009 14:07

at that price ok la.. u buy and u can own it.. my white wedding dress for rental = 450 la.. i am a bit regret now...

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2009-6-8 14:31

BCBG always have sale, just wait til summer sale (usually you get at least 30% off in store), even if you need smaller sizes from 0 - 4. I had been looking at least 2 seasons for dresses and I haven't seen ANY will be going out of size before the sale. $5xx at least will be marked down to $370ish. The only thing sorta holding me back to get a BCBG dress IS it's too obvious it's BCBG and people can tell the price tag.

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2009-6-8 14:35

There's always a debate of whether having 4 or 5 dresses. The judgement I made is whether you wanna wear your wedding dress for reception (welcoming guests). Here is where you can make your choice of wearing a evening dress or wedding dress. You will be running out of time if you cramp all 3 evening dresses after grand entrance.

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2009-6-8 14:58

I think full day .. 4 would be ok ..

one for the ceremony .... then 3 for the evening ... ( since I hate those traditional chinese looking cloth ... I cut down to 3 )

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-8 15:27

i'm not sure if they will still hv it during the sales la.. cause the lady said for dresses that are higher prices usually they will not hv a large number of them produced... but again this may not be true and i am not sure about this.

the other thing that is holding back from getting the dress is that it's still early... and i really don't want to wear smth that is not in the season if i am getting it from BCBG

oh well.. will see about it. my fiance's sister said she saw a BCBG store in 深圳. that they actually sell the real BCBG stuff and allows you to return or smth. but i guess those are from the factories la~~ around 700-800 yen for one... don't know too mcuh

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2009-6-8 15:50

Just shop around for now, there are just too many great EGs out there besides BCBG....

作者: bonbon 時間: 2009-6-8 16:23

i am thinking about 4 too...but haven't start looking around yet.....and i am still looking for a place to rent my wedding dress and gowns......

when's your big day ?

作者: meowmeowmeow 時間: 2009-6-9 00:46

I think you'll be too rush having 5 dresses... Cuz you're gonna spend atleast 10-15mins (or even more) to change each time, cuz you might need to change the jewelleries, touch up on make up or even change a little on the hair style.

On that night, you might wanna spare a little time actually to eat something...

I've seen friends starving for the night, cuz they don't have time to eat

tsumorichisato 發表於 2009-6-8 16:50

like which brand? i can't find anything here in Vancouver. The nearest source i can find is Nordstrom's Nicole Miller. Holt Renfrew only carries a limited amount of EGs and they are usually over $1xxx...

作者: bonbon 時間: 2009-6-9 09:19

my big day is jun 26, 2010.....

would it be expensive to rent or custom made a gown from TW? i thought about buying the gowns in TW or HK, but i don't know what to do with the gowns after my wedding......

作者: fibbi 時間: 2009-6-9 09:30

My wedding gown is sitting in the clothing bag now... and I paid about $100 for just dry clean...
Some people will sell it though.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-6-9 09:34

28# bonbon

no.. when u bargain ur pre wedding pkg.. u can tell them that u want to rent the dress for ur wedding too...but then u need a frd to pick up and return the dress for u in TW...the studio that do my wedding pic.. can rent clothes too..but at that time i didnt even have my wedding date decided yet so didnt do anything..

TW and HK gowns of coz cheaper la.. and nicer.. when u see some gowns that u like at TW studio stores.. u can ask them how much to make a new one for u.. i think it's not that expensive compare to Van..well.. after wedding.. the gowns will be memory only.. and u will put it in the very back of ur closet..or under ur bed.. so it's depends on u if u want to buy one and keep it.. I will personally rent it suen la..coz all memories will be on photos~

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-9 10:02

you can custom make it and sell it out afterwards~
my fiance's sister custom made her dress in 深圳. she did some research and had asked bridal stores where they made their dresses.. but her was about 2000 yen and had used around a month to do it because she wanted a few pounds of beads and small details on it. but do remember that you would still need to adjust the dress afterwards because it's not exactly "perfect"

and afterwards she sold the dress for a few hundred cnd too

you r right, too rush!!! I had 5 dresses in my Big day....... 我既化妝師在場加上兩個姊妹幫手,都好忙,全日只食到一隻鮑魚........咩都無得食,如果真係一定要5 dresses 要好好安排時間!!

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-10 17:06

don't plan to eat much on that day la... it's gonna be busy from mornng til night!!

作者: bonbon 時間: 2009-6-10 18:40

yeah...probably no time to eat anyways......maybe some snacks in between....

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2009-6-11 13:01

didn't eat much is not that big deal! it's just spending too much time on changing outfits and makeup, the guest cannot chat with u or take pic with u throughout the dinner.

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-11 14:07

of course will hv time to take pictures la.. gum important

作者: cremedelacreme 時間: 2009-6-12 11:17

actually I will be having 5 in total too, at first its only 4, then I saw this dress in BCBG i really like, and I couldn't resist it. SO now i'm still thinking if I should wear 4 or 5. Out of all of them, the chinese traditional dress is my last option to wear, but I guess still kinda have to wear it a little bit ge.

I will wear my wedding dress when guests arrive at dinner, so we can take some pictures with them. Then I will change to my first dinner dress in the 3rd dish, and 2nd dinner probably when eating fish (around 5 -6 ) dish, chinese traditional dress to "king jau" (drink wine with guests), and finally the last dinner dress to thank the guests for coming, while standing outside of the front door to say good bye to them.

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-6-13 22:58

that's alright... but how abt your hair? do you plan to change your hair in between???

作者: cremedelacreme 時間: 2009-6-13 23:53

My makeup artist will be there with me the whole night, I think I will change my hair from wedding dress to night gown, and maybe for the whole entire 3 night dresses, I would probably not change my hair la, (maybe just a quick decoration change on the hair, nothing fancy) cuz I don't want to waste too much time fixing the hair. And I'll definitely change the hair when I wear the traditional dress.

作者: chobit 時間: 2009-6-14 00:01

I agree!!
