Wedding Gown Hunt in Guang Zhou : Part 1

I shouldn't be writing this right now because I had just admitted my SIL to the hospital. My lil' nephew can't wait to see me I guess (very perasan)...Once SIL came to the house this morning, she said "I feel gush of water coming out....." Without thinking twice, Mummy II and I rushed her to the hospital. I TELL YOU! She "leaks" all the way up to the ward. The registration counter, the chair, the corridor, the lift....leaving traces so that later when everyone comes to visit her, they can trace her down.

BUT because I have promised all of you....here you go...


PLAN AHEAD
  1. Once decided on the wedding date, go ahead to book your tickets to Guang Zhou.
  2. Set at least ONE or TWO day(s) discovering that street.
  3. Plan your trip (book hotels, transportation...), the wedding street is at Jiang Nan Da Dao
  4. Most importantly, plan the number of gowns and the outfits that you need.
  • How many piece of gowns for pre wedding shots?
  • What type of wedding gown?
  • Cheongsam or Kua?
  • Bridesmaids
  • Mother/Mother In Law/Siblings dress
  • Flower girls
  • Suits
'HUNTING' TOOLS (What to bring?)
  • Vacuum bag for more luggage space. You know how bulky can the gowns be.
  • Canvas bag (lightweight and durable) Neh...those China Made blue red white big plastic canvas bag a! Very handy during shopping, just dump in all the gowns.
  • Trolley Bag (optional if you have a muscular husband, then just let him carry your 5 gowns)

'HUNTING ATTIRE' (What to wear?)
Ladies, wear a button-down top. So that you don't get exhausted and get fed up in the fitting room. Make sure you wear STRAPLESS BRA. I strongly suggest that you wear leggings instead of jeans. So that you can still try on gowns without taking off your pants. Footwear, just wear something comfortable its not necessary to wear heels, bcoz most of them provide heels when you put on any gowns. Easy peasy!

Guys, wear your runners or anything that your comfortable with, and don't complain that u're tired. Your darling is as tired as you, she's the one who is constantly changing and not you. Thank God Anoti is a very patient person. He was there to remind me to drink more water every now and then. How sweet!
