The key to having a beautiful onsite wedding video is really simple - a happy bride and an even happier groom obviously smitten with each other. Oh, and it helps to throw in a great song too. hearts. =)

Confessions of a (very) happy bride

This is my first post since I got married to the man of my dreams last September 25, 2010 and the photos paint a thousand words about how I felt that day - I was really a happy bride (unusually happy as my mom would have put it). Allow me to put into words how I really felt that very special day…

The moment I woke up, everyone (the suppliers, my family) was asking me whether I felt nervous or excited, but I felt neither. I was so calm that my maid-of-honor and bridesmaids got a bit worried. I felt so happy inside that I was so calm on the outside. Some thought it was a bit weird that I wasn’t as giddy as brides are expected to be, but I didn’t have to be that kind of bride, I knew I was happy, sublimely even.

The moment the door opened and I saw the man I was about to marry, my heart overflowed with so much love and I felt a tear roll down my cheek, but that was it, I was smiling, giggling and laughing all throughout the ceremony.

Though others expected I would be overwhelmed with emotion, I was surprised that I didn’t cry the day I got married and now I know why, that day, everything felt right, it felt so natural as I was walking down the aisle toward the love of my life, as I took his hand and vowed my forever to be with him and I was as happy as a bride could ever be - the pictures don’t lie. =)

Glorious Wonderful Tulle

Nothing says dreamy more than tulle. Use it for your bridal gown, bridesmaids dresses or simply any day that calls for whimsy and romance. Here’s some eye candy grabbed from www.polkadotbride.com of creations from Ouma by designer Michelle Martinez. Enjoy! :)

Here’s a beautiful photo taken by Oly Ruiz of Metro Photo. :) It’s a plus to have shorter lengthed bridesmaids dresses since your girls can jazz up their outfits by rocking their choice of heels. :)

One word brides-to-be must remember: CHILL!

Don’t allow yourself to get lost in your wedding preps. The moment it starts feeling stressful, back off and do something you enjoy, something that relaxes you - whether on your own or with the company of a good friend. :)

Text June 19 | 6:58 Justified!

With just 98 days to go to our big day and lots and lots of money rapidly flowing out of our savings account - I have found the perfect rationale behind getting married in a ~~BIG~~ grand way. A wedding is a celebration of FOREVER. So I guess that’s justification enough. A celebration of forever with the love of my since I was 18 is indeed priceless and worth splurging for (albeit, still in a reasonable way). :)
