Beautiful Dresses from the Red Carpet at SAG

It’s been a busy start to a great new year. So my post on this topic is a lil late. But nonetheless, these gowns are timeless so get inspired by these beautiful cuts and colours for your next tailored cocktail dresses and evening gowns. My favourite picks from the 14th Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Favourite colour – Not many ladies can carry off yellow but Kate Beckinsale and Vanessa Williams did it with flair. 

 

Best sexy backs in two opposite cuts and colours.

 

Favourite strapless gowns – Amanda Bynes with a jeweled sequin bodice with flowy soft layers at the bottom and Andrea Bowen in a ruffled persian blue Roberto Cavalli. Their hairstyles made them look a lil too matured for their age though.  

 

Marcia Cross (age 46) and Michelle Pfeiffer (age 50) officially proved that they don’t age! Both look so flawlessly elegant. Michelle Pfeiffer looked so understated yet classy in washed out brown and crocodile clutch, but my favourite for the night is Marcia Cross! 

 

In bright turquoise Monique Lhuillier. Don’t know how to pronounce the last name but I’m a great fan of Monique La hui lier? le hu lieere? She’s a Filipino wedding dress designer based in US, well known as the IT designer to celebrity brides. Shall blog about this on a separate post.

Soft & Romantic

One of the things that we do when we plan for weddings is to put together a wedding inspiration board. Many brides would agree that the best way to communicate about her vision of her wedding day, from the design of her wedding dress to the colour of the table cloth, is done with pictures from magazines and internet. As we work with bridal clients to uncover their signature style and colour themes, we use wedding inspiration board as one of the best way to manage their expectations and communicate visually by using colour palettes, fabrics, several distinguishing elements and images. As many would argue, describing your visual verbally is very different when interpretated by the wedding planner, and vice versa.

So, to start off the year, I’ve decided that we ought to share our wedding inspiration boards for any up-coming projects in the blog. As Louis Pang once told me, “got to know how to be generous in order to gain more.” *smile*

The images put together are generally pictures and images from vendors, internet or magazines. It’s really a way to kick start the direction of the planning process and tune in to the bridal client’s style.

The bridal client wants a romantic down-to-earth, almost rustic-feel to the wedding with cream, brown and pink as the key colours. This is the first inspiration board prepared for discussion.

Take Me Higher by Thomas Sabo

Finally Thomas Sabo has succeeded in cracking NASA’s monopoly. Cute little flying saucers, enchanting rockets and glittering space robots orbited into planet fashion.

Revealing their Spring/Summer Collection for 2008, the creative direction draws on space adventure, eastern culture, celtic influences and French elegance. 

 

 My favourite is the ‘East Meets West’ collection. I love this piece. I’ve been searching for a dragon pendant for a while now but most of those I’ve seen are either too rugged & masculine or too old-fashioned & fengshui-ish looking. This one is a mix of strong elements subdued by soft feminine colours. Very modern and contemporary. An addition to my Wish list. Wonder how much it costs.  

 

‘The It-Girl on the Beach’ collection. So chic!

In conjunction with the launch, Thomas Sabo Foundation pledged Euro 10,000 per year for the next five consecutive years towards the education of underprivileged Malaysian children. Thomas Sabo presented a mock cheque of Euro 50,000 to the Kiwanis Club Damansara which also adopts the Kiwanis international credo of ‘Serving the Children of the World’.  

Didn’t mingle much. Dunno why…just didn’t feel sociable that night.

With Hung Shen. My face so red here like a tomato.

 

With Esther, a crazy new friend I met that night.  

Wedding Gown Collections by La Chynna Bridal

Today I took a drive to Bandar Kinrara to check out the new collection of wedding gowns as invited by Marcus, one of the owners of La Chynna Bridal.

For the budget conscious brides, you’d be very pleased to know that these beautiful gowns are sold between RM200 – RM900 each *omg!* with only one piece to each design. The only setback is that if you are thinner or slightly bigger than average mannequin size, then fitting would be a problem. However, they do provide alteration services via their appointed seamstress. Still worthwhile to check it out if you are scouting around for the best values in the market. They also have some pretty nice evening gowns suitable for company annual dinners.
