Tried on the custom Wedding Gown + Suit


And they are fantastic looking! Sherm fit her gown excellently, and Jeff even took off 1/2 an inch off her previous measurement, but she still can breathe easily and looks marvelously gorgeous in it! Sherm's fitness fanaticsm has paid off! How do you like the preview above? It's been mosaic-ed to preserve an air of mystery =D That's the Italian lace that Jeff (our designer) is really proud of. He hand-carried it all the way from Europe, and told us about how he was watching his tailors like a hawk since he only had that one piece. If they had ruined it, that would've been it!

We really love working with Jeff, Jolene and Louis from La Vie Bridal. They incorporated all our suggestions and the gown looks great! No problems here at all, and they're really really accomodating - super highly recommended! Oh and my Armani-inspired suit looks fab too, and the colours for the suit & Sherm's gown complement each other! I love the inner lining detail that they actually bothered to sew in - will get a shot of that during the photo-shoot and upload it here next time.

We'll have to pick-up the outfits a day before we take off for Bali next, then its a full day of shooting - all arranged already, including the hand bouquet and style of shots we want (there'll be a meeting on the day we arrive where we can discuss with the photographer how we want our shots). Email liaisons with Thea from Aditi Niranjan has been smooth and they seem to excel at top notch service as well. I sent her all our preferred locations, sample of shots we like, and the style of the hand bouquet that Sherm likes, so they'll be taking care of all that. Requests were well-handled too, and after discussion with Mark Tan who introduced them to us, I realized too that they really say OK to everything we ask! Very excited about the upcoming shoot - it'll be fun fun fun! =D

Just a Thank You note to my friends who've been helping us out so far:
Jean
, Justin & Jon, for helping to plan and make arrangements for our Bali holiday. Jean dug up a whole tonne of activities for us to choose from, sure made it easier to plan our itinerary as a group!
Jackie for graciously accepting to help Sherm as her ad-hoc bridesmaid during our upcoming photo-shoot. 
Mark
also for sitting down with me yesterday to recreate a logo from scratch.
We are grateful for your help and all the offers of contribution from the rest of our mates - we will be calling on you for help as the big day draws closer! =D
