Bridesmaid Dresses!

Have 6 lovely bridesmaids for my wedding and each one of them are my pals and buddies from my Cheerleading team besides my little sister!

My idea of bridesmaids outfit is really not for all to look the same, I am someone who value individuality and i believe that my bridesmaids don't have to all look the same to look pretty! Thus, I simply give them a colour theme or blue and tiffany / mint and let them go try on dresses which will look good on them.

The most common place to get dresses in Singapore is City Plaza @ Paya Lebar. and that was where we head to.

Among all the shops, there are a few which stand out with many lovely bridesmaids dresses in many varying colours!

1) Love Dovey @ #01-19 City Plaza

Their price are affordable with price ranging from $30plus (short dresses) to $70plus (long dresses). Dresses there are suitable for wedding and even for attending wedding! They have lovely design in a range of colours and size range from S to L, therefore, suitable for bridesmaids of all sizes! 

2) Estrella Concept @ #02-108 City Plaza 

This place sells nice convertibles which are suitable for bridesmaids of all sizes and the convertibles comes in many colours and designs. They also have dresses which are sweet and nice. 

So these are my lovely Jie Mei's in their dresses!

Stanley and I are not a fan of traditions and having to go through all this customaries was really a pain for us. However, we try our best to make it as easy and as simplified as possible.

Place to Buy Guo Da Li items 
1) Chinatown; People's Park Centre
2) Le Knot @ City Plaza Level 5
3) The Chinese Wedding Shop @ Jubilee Ang Mo Kio

If you head to JB often you can also visit this shop which sells all the items at a cheaper price compared to Singapore. It is like everything same price as SG but in Ringgit.

4) Big Day Wedding & Gifts @ 88 Jln Tombak 1, Taman Sri Tebrau. Phone number is +60 7-333 4555


Places to buy Guo Da Li Wedding Cakes
1) Kyo Cakes @ 82 Marine Parade Central

We got 30 boxes from them which are cute and tasty! Great Service! Free home delivery with every $100 dollars purchase and also 5% discount with every $200 purchase.

2) Pine Gardens @ 529 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 

We got like 16 boxes from them, their cakes are nice and tasty but they can be very crowded which leads to a lack in service as there is just too many customers to serve at each time. But their cakes are indeed nice! 

3) Swee Heng Cakes @ 24 Senoko Crescent

they have lesser selection but prices are affordable so for couple on budget this is a good choice too! 

Hope this helps couples who are doing their wedding planning and remember at the end of the day tradition can be compromise if we learn how to simplify things a little and something, it is best to just do it not for you but for the bond of the 2 family.
