My DIY Wedding Invitation [Video]
My first video is here! In this video I wanted to show you handmade wedding invitation as well as some of the tools that I’ve used to create the card. Making over 125 invitations by hand did up quite a bit of time but I enjoyed the process and it made me very happy when my guests compliments me on it.
Are you thinking of making your own invitations? Let me know what you think of mine and if you are making your own, I’d love to see your invitation as well!
I’m in the process of making more videos on wedding planning so subscribe to F.A.B. Wedding channel to get the latest updates.
Introducing F.A.B Wedding – Tips & Advice for Brides-To-Be
Hey everyone, I’ve gotten around to create a teaser for my first YouTube channel – F.A.B. Wedding (For Asian Brides Wedding). I’ve been talking to a few people and setting up to shoot the first few videos in the coming weeks. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them up on YouTube by beginning of May.
My ideas for the first few videos includes skin care for pre-wedding photos, photography and a DIY wedding stationary. So subscribe to my channel and stay tuned for the upcoming videos!
Wedding Planning Videos
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. The past months had been quite a ride for me. After going through a bread baking marathon (bake a loaf of bread each day), getting super sick (out with the flu for about 2 weeks in March) and finally recovering from a wrist strain which I got from work, I am finally back to blogging.
Now that my wedding is over, I thought I’d be done with blogging about wedding planning. However, since I got married in June last year, I’ve been asked by quite a few brides-to-be on wedding related suggestions and advice. This got me thinking – are there other brides out there that also have similar questions and are looking for answers? I’m sure if you Google your questions you’d get pages and pages of search results, but for me it was hard to find answers which are specific for my Chinese wedding held in Vancouver (like where would I get some of those dowry items locally? I am not going to import them from Hong Kong…)
So after giving it some thought and given the fact that I’ve made a few friends who are in the wedding service business, I’ve decided to try a new project: videos. My idea is to create a series of videos which talks about wedding planning (mostly focus on the needs for Chinese brides since I was one of them). I’d like to touch on topics such as skin care for pre-weddings, makeup and hair styling, flowers and decorations, photography…etc. I’d love to get a guy’s input on stuff like tuxedo styles and skin care as well. Hopefully through the videos it’d make it easier for other Vancouver brides to plan their big day.
If you have any questions or suggestions for my videos, please comment on this post or send me an email via contact me on the link above. I’d love to hear from you!
Our Wedding Day Slideshow – Part 3
My apologies, I totally forgot to post the last part of our wedding slideshow series! Here it is. This last part is about the banquet in the evening which was held at Fortune House Seafood Restaurant inside Metrotown. We’ve decided to change up the usual “lets get to know the bride and groom game” by having guests participate instead of us giving away the answers. The game is similar to Jeopardy. Our MC will give out statements and the participants will answer with either Al or Jan. For example “The one who cleans the toilet”, the correct answer is “Al”! The game turned pretty competitive and was fun for the guests to watch.
For clinking the glass, we didn’t want to give away free kisses! So in order for us to kiss, the guest will have to come up and demonstrate the kiss with a partner. I thought it was a pretty fun way to get the crowd going and was glad that many of our friends were up to the challenge.
Many thanks to Jackson & Edison from HN Wedding for taking such wonderful photos and Vivian for doing my hair and makeup for the evening. I love the jewelry and hair piece selections she had prepared for me.
Our Wedding Day Slideshow – Part 2
Continuing from our last slideshow of the morning activities, I’ve compiled part 2 to show our ceremony at Minoru Chapel and the photo shoot we did at Burnaby Village Museum. It was a rainy day so we took pictures inside the chapel instead of outside which I was a little disappointed with. However, the weather dried up after our ceremony so we managed to do the photo shoot outside without getting wet.
If you’ve missed Part 1 of the slideshow, you can view it here.
