[VDL - Part 2] Searching for THE Dress

Somewhere along the week, I randomly whipped out my phone and typed "wedding gown" in the little google search box on my way to work. 

Before I know it, I was prowling through images after images and websites after websites of white, fluffy, lacey, lovely wedding dresses. I had a tough time trying to stop thinking about them and immediately resumed this activity after I returned home from work. 

Why did no one tell me that this can be so addictive?!

Oh well, pleasure moments are always addictive, I guess that should have came with some common sense :)

I never really had any idea what my dream wedding dress will be. Tube, heart, halter, toga, mermaid, A-line, lace, crystals, sash? No idea. Till, well, after I opened the "pandora box of wedding dresses" :)

I figured I would really like to have something with minimal, if not understated, embellishments. Yet, I do not want something too plain and 'un-bridely', so I'd want the details to blend in, and at the same time stand out, from the fabric. Confusing? I know, I don't make a very good designer :X

But I found the key word to it - FLANGE.

And flange looks gorgeous on Vera Wang's White collection. *yums*

I hope I can find sth similar in Sg :)

And I totally fell in love, like head-over-heels-in-love, with this gorgeous evening gown below. 

It's a 2010 collection by Carlo Pignatelli, but there's just sth about this dress that makes its image linger in my head. Love it love it. 

I'm not carrying much hope in finding sth like this in Sg, but I bet I'll sign with any BS that has anything remotely similar to it. 

And..... after close to a week of virtual shopping, I made pops promise that he'll wake up early tmr so that we can go BS shopping at Tanjong Pagar :D

Seriously, I swear that 2 weeks ago, I was not even half as exited as I am right now about the wedding.

I foresee stressful and trying times ahead, as we juggle numerous things, get tied down by deadlines, be bogged down by lots of correspondences, learn to manage expectations, strive to preserve relationships and make important decisions along the way. 

But I believe that the thought of the wedding will be enough to conjure a smile :)

If I show any sign of becoming a bride-zilla, any signs at all, please give me a good shake and wake me up. And sometimes, when things get a little to crazy and exciting, I just need a pair of listening ears and a patient companion for me to download all my emotions. 

That said, I'm still anxious like mad about the venue!
