Getting it right for your Wedding.

To many ladies, wedding is the most important day of their life so before you or your husband-to-be go on a blind wedding shopping spree, I think this would help you get started.

Firstly I would suggest that you and fiance write down the things that both of you want. This will help short list the things you need and places that you have to go. Maybe a theme for your wedding too.

Secondly, put a budget on the wedding, this is very important as many clients of mine do not have a budget and they get confuse on how much they need to spend. Everything that you need for the wedding must have a budget i.e: Photography, flowers, banquet etc. This will help you avoid over spending on things, there will be many unseen expenses as the wedding draws closer.

Make sure you shop around for the Photography Studio, there are so many now and prices do come down if there are competition around. Try going to Bridal fairs in shopping malls or hotels, sometimes if you are lucky you might get many freebies.

The most important thing for the wedding is The Wedding Gown. You can either rent it or purchase the gown. Just make sure you know what design you want as many designers will charge you a very very high price if you leave it to them. Also make sure they come with accessories, as it will cost you a bomb buying it.

For him, I would normally suggest that he buy it of the rack as tailoring for 1 will be hard as there are not many good tailors around and if you do find 1, the price will also be very high. Hugo Boss, Zara, Armani and Paul Smith do have very nice suits and the price are not that bad.

The area where many people goes over budget is on Flowers. Imported flowers are beautiful but expensive. Just make sure you know what species of flowers you are going for and where is needed.

Banquet is another area where many exceed their budget. Make sure you have the correct no of guess. Soft drinks, corkage, rooms, decorations in the hall, entertainments etc, may sometimes come free with the package, so make sure you ask about it from the hotels or restaurants.

Of course you also need a photographer to catch all the moments during the wedding. Do ask if they will give you any free copies of photos and also will he compile all the nice photos into an album and how many rolls of photos he is taking for free as some will charge by the no of photos taken.

Lastly the Hair & makeup artist. You can either opt for the artist who comes with the Photo Studio or you can employ a hair cum makeup artist from your favorite hair salon, they might be a little more artistic and creative. You can get a trial from them and do let them know what kind of makeup you want and always remember to show the stylist all the gowns that you are going to wear on that day so that he/she can plan what to do to your hair and also what make up to suits the gowns.

Always bear in mind that things may sometime get messy on the wedding day so just try to relax and let things fall in place by itself so don't worry so much.

Why All The Knives???

I know that the past 5 weeks have not been easy on any of Liverpool FC's fans to endure. The team has not really played all that well, things in the boardroom also have not been kind. Rumours of businessmen from China, Hong Kong, another Americans and Arabian Royalty buying over the club has just passed and gone. Come first week of October, we might have a new owner at LFC and all us fans really hope that this time it will happen once an for all. With RBS forcing sale on the club I should think by then there will be more bids from potential buyers. The only thing that I am not happy about is that all the "HOO HAA" from the press when Liverpool Fc plays badly, why are they always picking on LFC? When the team wins, there are no praises, when there are draws they say that the team is not clicking and should have won and the worst of all, when the team loses, the press will blame everything from the boardroom to the kitmen. Why aren't there any bad press on MU, Arsenal,

HAIR TRENDS FOR 2010 In 2010 we will be seeing a lot of retro hairstyles of the 80’s being introduce with some new and more modern twist to it. For one, VERY CURLY locks will be back for most of the hair length as Volume is the in thing with this look. As the 80’s have many different kind of curls, 2010 will see curls are more controlled and also softer. The ‘HELO’ cut is back again but with a softer line instead of a very hard line back in the 80’s. This hairstyle is so easy to maintain at home but it is the most difficult hair cut to do. The BOB will still be in fashion but with a straighter line and slightly longer. There will be a lot of RED shade in 2010, Deep Red, Shocking Chilli Red, Copper, Orange just any kind of Reds will be the colour to go for.
