What is it about weddings that conjures up such strong emotions? I'm not talking about emotions of love and happiness, I'm referring to ones of annoyance and anger. Perhaps it's the fact that so much time, planning and money goes into this one day. And even with the help of wedding planners, it is still such a stressful experience.
It is 6 months to the big day now and I cannot wait for it to be over. I swear I have never heard people utter such stupid things to me in my life. A couple of examples:
- "I should be able to make it because none of my good friends are getting married around that time" (keeping in mind that our wedding is an extremely small affair by Chinese standards with only 140 guests max, so only our immediate relatives and very close friends are invited)
- "[In terms of the formal dress code that was specified in the invitation] do men have to wear ties?"
Not exactly music to a bride-to-be's ears. I must force myself to just ignore it all (as hard as that may be) and concentrate on more important things..
But one thing that usually manages to keep my mind off it all is thinking about how I want the venue to be decked out (note that I say 'I' and not 'we' since Mr Ng has known since we booked the venue that the extragvagance of the decorations is non-negotiable). One word: flowers. And lots of them.
The decorations at the wedding reception of Donald and Melania Trump is definitely at the top of the list of how I would want our venue to look (on a much larger scale of course). When guests walk into the room, I want them to be blown away and this definitely has the wow factor.
Other images which I hope convey the kind of atmosphere I hope can be created (all by Preston Bailey):
And still a bit unsure of how to decorate the Garden Suite for the ceremony but I'm really loving this:
although I wouldn't want the view of HK to be blocked by anything too big.
Will just have to wait and see what the decorators say when Mr Ng meets up with them tomorrow.
