２００８或２００９年結婚的姊妹願意將籌備婚禮

最開心 - The engagment photoshooting and the whole trip (we took ours in tw)  is the most memorable. Even my fiance loves the whole experience a lot. Dress hunting is definitely another fun and exciting proces.

最花時間 -- I would say the DIY crafts (table number, car decor, place card, our monogram, some floral arrangements, signing pen.....

The wedding day timeline takes me so long to finish it. Cuz i need to make sure everyone in the wedding party know what's going on. And each helper, each bridesmaid, each groomsmen, MC will have their own time schedule . The guestlist and table seats assignment is another tedious task to do.

最花＄- I guess it's always the venue.

最煩 - sometimes people (like my mom) will have some fuzzy requests...aiya...that's the most difficult thing to handle.

最．．．．的經驗／趣事分享
...i'll come back to this later

”完全唔掂”或”激死人”的經驗／商戶
Yup, I actually got a few. First, my first makeup trial sucks. It's just me and I don't wanna bring it up again cuz I know some brides like her style. But it's not the timeless elegance I am looking for.

The worst worst worst decision I have ever made is to have my bridesmaid dresses done in China. The decision made is totally family political so I don't wanna expose too much details why I came to this decision. Anyways, quality sucks!! service sucks!!  I mean unless you have absolutely no standard in fashion then ya...go for it!!!! Sorry that I vent too much ...

I want to ask the location of this Burnaby Museum place

thank-you

The best part:
-The day went by so quickly
-All the guests were so happy
-People cheering on the street and complimenting on our car

The happiest:
- My hubby teared
- Floral arrangements were gorgeous!
- People loved my decor and craft work

Most glad:
-My bridesmaids and brothers, wedding coordinator, etc, had me worried free!
-Designed my own Invitations, gift tags, cake top, made my own wedding favors, center pieces, wine glasses, venue, decorated my own car, made own wine, etc.

Most frustrating:
-Trying to fit everything perfectly (timing wise)
-Parents fussing over our decisions
-Throw things out of planning, spent extra $ and time just to comply with stupid traditions that are senseless
-Trying to put too much work on to myself (bought a home so was moving and wed planning at the same time)

Funny:
-I was so worried that something else was gonna screw up or someone forget to do something. Turned out that during the day, everything was perfect except I was the one who almost tripped on my own dress!
-Forgot to wear sunscreen. Went out photoshooting after ceremony in the AM. Came back with red burns for the reception at night. People were asking why I was so red!

Tips:
- Sunscreen!
- Use or hire a wedding coordinator!
- When booking venue, floral, reception, photographer, etc, ask them for their back up plans, ie: Will use pink roses instead of red if they are not as fresh
- Make your own back up plan. Ie: If it rains...
- Confirm and re-confirm everything at monthly intervals and at least 1 week prior to the big day
- Make a list of things to bring and pack at least 2 days before: ie: extra shoes, make up, oil blotting paper, nylons, tylenol, etc. Trust me, you might think you'd remember but your head will have no room for the little details when the time is close.

Hope that helps.
