Little Wedding Tips - 結婚小貼士

We have taken some wedding tips found online for you:


音樂篇
如果您的婚禮會有樂隊演奏,如果您又準備讓他們演奏古典音樂,您可以考慮在適當時候例如敬酒或玩遊戲時讓他們轉從古典到現代樂譜,讓您的賓客都能輕鬆盡興。
On Music:
If you’re having instrumentalists perform at your cocktail hour, consider having them switch from classical to contemporary sheet music. You’ll give your guests a treat and get them ready to for the reception festivities when the musicians change from Bach to the Beatles.
From Modern Bride


酒水篇
想酒席埋單時候輕鬆一D?只提供啤酒,紅酒,果汁汽水,或偶爾加一種特色飲品就可以。您也可以選擇較經濟的的白酒和紅酒,多數客人都不會留意。
On Food and Drinks:
Looking to minimize your bar bill? Providing only beer, wine, soda and a signature drink can cut your bill in half, says Los Angeles planner Mindy Weiss. You also can choose off-brand liquors and house wines instead of premium brands. Most guests won’t notice.

婚紗篇 
如果你因為揀婚紗而頭痛,想想那一種室內設計的類型您最喜愛。會否是現代簡約?英國鄉村?法國宮廷?這可能就是你感到最舒適快樂的style。
On Dresses:
If you’re struggling to select a gown style, then think about which interior design movement is most striking to you. Is it graphic modern? English countryside? Eclectic and relaxed? This is likely the look you will be most comfortable and happiest in on the wedding day.

健美篇 
在婚禮前最少一個禮拜,避免鹽和含蘇打水的飲品(汽水),以免出現水腫,亦讓自己覺得苗條及健康一些。
On Fitness and Health:
Avoid salt and soda prior to fittings and for at least a week before your wedding in order to stave off puffiness and feel your most slender. It’s amazing what a difference it makes.
From Elegant Bride


求婚篇 
仲等緊男友的浪漫求婚呢?不妨給他一點提示:向他提起你最喜歡的求婚故事,可以是電影中的情節,或者是您已經結婚的朋友的求婚經歷都可以!
On Engagement:
Still waiting for a romantic proposal? Drop your guy hints about how you would like him to pop the question by mentioning your favorite proposal stories. Talk about scenes in movies that you loved or share your married girlfriends' proposal tales.

It's the touch of your heart - 暖在心頭的感覺

為了令自己更了解婚禮的最新趨勢,我們經常上網搜尋關於婚禮嘅網站。當我們睇得越來越多,我們發現了一些非常好的婚紗照片,想與大家分享。這些圖片不僅是一張張婚禮的紀錄,而是充滿了照片裡面的人的歡笑,淚水和所有的情感的照片。好的相片無須用文字來形容,因為他們不言自明。我相信這是婚紗攝影的意義所在。關鍵在於他們能夠捕捉細緻的一刻。這些相片不僅使新郎和新娘,甚至唔認識他們嘅人,當他們看到這些照片時都能夠感染到他們的喜悅和情感。

隨著情人節和農曆新年的到來,也許是一個好機會去提醒自己,愛你的人正在您身邊。你的父母,朋友,當然還有伴你一生的伴侶。
To get ourselves more informed of the latest trends on wedding and as a habit, we browse online very often looking for websites on wedding. As we read more and more, we had found some very good wedding photos which we really like to share with you. These pictures are not just a documentary about a wedding day, but they really captioned the moment, the laughter, the tears and the all the emotions of the human being inside the photos. It really touches your heart. You don't need words to describe these photos, they speak for themselves. And I think that is what wedding photography is about. It's about capturing the moment, that makes not just the bride and groom, but everyone, even if they don't know them, will feel their joy, their affections when they see the photos.


With the Valentine's Day and the Chinese New Year coming, maybe it's good to remind yourselves that you are being loved by so many people. Your parents, your friends and of course, your loved ones.

Wedding theme - Colors - Green


緊接著我們上一次談及婚紗設計師對生態的關注,今日我們想講的婚禮主題顏色就是綠色。雖然綠色不是一個婚禮的傳統顏色,(尤其是中國文化中,紅色才是婚禮的顏色...),許多新娘都喜愛綠色!綠色有許多深淺不同的色系,例如薄荷綠,橄欖綠,翡翠等等...其實我們都很喜歡綠色!妳知道我們的標誌也是綠色的?

選擇綠色(http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Green_Color_Wedding_Ideas)
綠色是一種中性顏色,它和彩虹兩端的顏色都很合襯:鮮紅色,酒紅色,粉紅色以至紫丁香,紫羅蘭,和皇家紫色等等。要為妳的婚禮選擇恰到好處的綠色,就不僅是挑選一個漂亮的顏色那麼簡單。首先,妳選擇的綠色應配合不同的季節。輕柔的色調,如粉綠色或薄荷綠適合春天婚禮。而夏天的婚禮,最好搭配明亮,鮮艷或綠色圖案。秋天婚禮可以配合秋葉的草綠或暗綠色而冬天婚禮則應該配合寶石般高貴的翡翠色。

在選擇綠色時也應配合婚禮的主題和場地。輕鬆的婚禮,更適合於明亮,好玩一點的色調。而比較隆重的婚禮需要更多沉實的色彩。妳選擇的綠色亦應配合該場地的裝飾 - 牆壁顏色,地毯圖案等 - 從而造出一個協調的整體感覺。

許多新人選擇使用綠色時,亦可以考慮選擇幾個近似的色調,配合不同的裝飾匯集整個婚禮主題。

Following our last thread on eco wedding dress, we would like to talk about the color - green, as a wedding theme. Yet this time, we will focus more on the color itself. Though not a traditionally popular color for wedding, especially among chinese culture where red is the color for wedding, green is being loved by brides! There are many shades of green, mint, lime, emerald and more... and We love green too! as you can see our logo is in green!

Choosing Green (from http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Green_Color_Wedding_Ideas)
In the middle of the color spectrum, green matches well with both rainbow extremes: rich reds, burgundies, and pinks as well as lilacs, violets, and royal purple hues. Choosing just the right green shade for a wedding is more than just picking a pretty color, however. First, the exact shade of green should coordinate with the season. Light, airy hues such as pastel green or mint are perfect for spring weddings, while summer celebrations are best paired with brighter, bold shades or green patterns. Fall weddings can easily be accented with sage or darker green hues, while winter weddings are perfect for jewel tones such as a luxurious emerald.

The green you choose should also be coordinated with the theme of the wedding and its location. Informal, casual ceremonies are better suited to light, playful shades, while more formal events demand more somber colors. The location’s decorations – wall color, carpet patterns, artwork, etc. – can also affect which shade may be best for an integrated, coordinated look.

When choosing green as a primary wedding color rather than an occasional accent, many couples opt to use a range of green shades for a coordinated yet not overpowering palette. Consider choosing several closely related green hues for different decorations to bring together the entire theme with a subtle connection.

Eco Chic Wedding Dress


對環境的關注已經成為越來越多人關心的問題,無論在香港及世界各地。保護環境並不只是口號而已,甚至婚紗設計師也積極"動手"。當我們看這網上婚禮雜誌,我們可以看到設計師不但知道保護環境的重要性,並已開始使用循環再造物料,甚至捐出其部分收益支持環保組織。當然,他們的婚紗都是"靚絕"!讓我們現在來看看其中一些 ...
Concern for the environment has become a more and more of a issue, both here in Hong Kong and around the globe. Finding ways to protect our environment are not just advocates now, but also being done by wedding dress designers as well. As we look at this online wedding magazine, we can see designers actually do aware of such importance and had already started to contribute by using recycled fabrics and donating part of their proceeds to the organizations which support the environmental protection. And of course, their dresses are fabulous too! Let's look at some of them now...




This e-magazine is really doing great! The dress, the look and the photography is just stunning!
