Wedding Dresses in Movies 2009

2009年係結婚嘅旺年，連講結婚嘅電影都不少。在多套講關於結婚電影，當然有不少婚紗戲中出現。有唔少婚紗嘅吸引指數絕對爆燈，可惜價錢絕對唔平易近人。其實有不少選擇，都可以比美個啲動輒要幾千美金嘅婚紗。

1) Bride Wars:《新娘愛鬥大》講述荷里活靚女安妮夏菲維( Anna Hathaway )、姬蒂韓遜( Kate Hudson )一對閨中密友Liz & Emma，為爭贏婚禮舉辦場地，出盡怪招鬥型鬥崩頭。在戲中, Liz所穿著嘅係Vera Wang lace & tulle ballgown；如果要有相同嘅感覺，可以考慮其他選擇，慳咗嘅錢可以用來影相化妝都重有找。

另一方面，Emma穿著嘅係佢媽媽留比佢嘅silk taffeta婚紗，經典嘅魚尾線條係來緊嘅幾年都係非常之chic嘅選擇。同樣地，除咗以下嘅option，度身訂造亦都可以確保你擁有一條獨一無二嘅婚紗。

2) Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: 《死鬼女友搵上門》(香港冇上過畫) 這部片主要在描述花心大少Connor (Matthew McConaughey)原本與女主角Jenny (Jennifer Garner)是青梅竹馬，就在一次高中舞會上受到刺激後來被其叔叔 Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas) 啟發，從此成為花心大少，從不付出真心。其後三個女鬼的出現和時空交錯令他再重新認識真愛的意義。

戲中女主角Jenny穿著嘅係Manuel Mota嘅lace 加 crystal beading 婚紗；你亦都可以選擇 Jasmine Bridal。

4) Sex and the City: The Movie: 相信唔需要我多講，都知Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) 個條Vivienne Westwood婚紗有幾特別；雖然呢一襲婚紗有點兒over咗，但是如果你心目中想要的婚紗就是它的話，你亦都可以喺Madam Westwood個度預訂，需時最少半年，代價都只係5k美金；如果嫌拖尾唔夠長，要做長拖尾，代價都只係15k美金。當然，Sarah Danielle等等嘅類似婚紗都係唔錯選擇。

假睫毛

最近愛上貼假睫毛，我都算遲開始貼假睫毛，出到街個個女仔對眼都整到眼大大。假睫毛加粗眼線，矇豬眼都變大眼妹。初初開始學人貼都交左好多學費架，因為試過好多唔同牌子的睫毛，都無對好的，有Ｄ又大長，有Ｄ又太蜜，明知係假睫毛，都要自然Ｄ先好睇架。

睇雜誌介紹台灣出品的公主李好用，我就係香港Ｄ水貨店買來試試，公主李又真係幾好，交叉7黑是最自然。再加條粗眼線，對眼一定烔烔有神。

台灣hit爆假睫品牌 
受歡程度全台之冠,樂壇天后: 蔡依琳熱愛﹑林志玲﹑楊丞林...  也是它的長期客仔,走在台灣的街頭巷尾, 甚至夜市, 你會輕易發現十多個假眼睫毛的品牌, 但當中最紅的,卻總不能找到而長期斷貨。這個名為「公主李」的當紅品牌, 出名在於其自然的效果,其中「交叉七」更是最受追捧的一款，據說最適合東方人的眼形。
一對假眼睫毛，若不塗上Mascara，可用上半年。一盒「公主李」有10對，其實足夠5年的用量，但仍長期斷貨，實在不理解。要買的話，最好託台灣朋友替你預訂，約半年便有貨了。 (擇至台灣報導)

Wedding Planner

好多新人都喜歡自己一手一腳籌辦自己的婚禮, 無論找場地／影婚紗相,到印帖都會慢慢尋找,都希望找到最好的。當中的過程有苦有甜，因為要很多時間去選擇，倒如找場地擺酒都要看很多地方，時間都多架。當時我自己結婚，我找擺酒的地方都搵左差不多兩個月，全香港80% 的場地我都親自去看過，又要合心水又要合價錢，都幾困難，最終我說服我老公擺貴D但場地又夠Grand 的 The Mira. 下次再講有幾好。


我自己都有少少後悔無搵wedding planner幫手，其實我自己好enjoy 準備婚禮的大小事議，不過最煩其實是Big Day 當天，兄弟姊妹都巳經好幫手，但始終經驗不夠，所有事都要問返我同我老公。如果有專人幫我，當日我就唔會黑面。最近經常有得參加朋友的婚禮，司儀個part 都好重要，如果專業的司儀會帶動整個婚禮的氣氛架。


有時如果沒有太多時間準備婚禮，咁wedding planner 一定幫到手，因為他們經驗比較豐富，你比個Budget ，他們就比意見你。 


Many couple like to prepare their wedding from scratch, from reception location to wedding photography, hoping to find the best from a pool of vendors. It's painstaking and time-consuming to visit many different reception locations but also a sweet experience with your partner as you hand built your wedding from every brick and stone. When I was planning my own wedding, I did my searching for two months just to find the perfect place for reception and eventually I convinced my fiance that we will have our reception at the Mira. I would have hired wedding planner for my wedding if I knew that I would be so busy on that day. I just could not spare any time to handle all that... and recently, I have been invited to one of my friend's wedding and make me feel that a good MC really make a difference.


For those busy, lazy and want hustle free, hiring someone definitely help, especially those who are experienced in delivering what most brides and grooms want. Set up your budget in the first place, then have realistic expectations and the rest? leave them to your wedding planner and  keep good communication with them to ensure everything is going smoothly and nicely.

Fur Coat

踏入十二月好開心，因為就快到聖誔節，見到很多店鋪同商場都佈置得好有聖誔氣氛，各行各業十二月至二月都是旺季，所以大家都好忙。忙完大家就可以開開心心過聖誔節！

喺香港冬天都是結婚的旺季，十一月至三月都係最多人結婚的，呢幾個月我都要大出血，很多親戚朋友，比人情都比到傷。咁多人選擇在冬天結婚，因為冬天又唔會是雨季或打風，又不會太熱，香港冬天最凍太約都是十二／三度，天氣又不會灰灰暗暗，除左早Ｄ天黑之外，冬天結婚都算最好。

女仕真係幾捱得凍架，你看看所有新娘子凍死都要著無帶(Strapless)或背心款式的嫁衣，為左靚忍下凍都無所謂。而家好多新娘子都會加件毛毛披肩，其實加件Fur 又會暖Ｄ同名貴 D，例如兔毛披肩，柔軟得來亦相當保暖，噤就算喺室外影相時都唔使怕啦！

Final Match in "Centre Court" - 決勝時分

For those of you who really into tennis, being able to tie the knot on the court is simply fiercely romantic! Just imagine that, you and your loved one having your afternoon wedding on a safari with a tennis court, all your guests enjoy themselves with a couple of games and afternoon tea... That's just perfect... except it's a little far away. That perfect place can be found in Tanzania (shown in the photo below)... located in Northern Tanzania, Sangita Sabora Tented Camp rest on the border of Serengeti National Park provides you not only a vast safari to explore, but also Edwardian romantic wine dinner under the starlight... I know it's hard to find such a place in Hong Kong, but if you really opt for such relaxed atmosphere for your big day, try a hotel at Lantau Island which is located in Mui Wo.  Maybe not as perfect as in safari, it's not the location but who you're with that counts, right?
如果網球係你杯茶的話，可以喺網球場上舉行婚禮都相當浪漫！
