The Wedding Diary Asia - Update

During the Wedding Diary Asia exhibition, we met a few loving moms who'd like to order our bridal shoes for their daughters who were currently based abroad. A very touching gesture to me.

This is the kind of bonding that is unique to mother-daughter relationship. We knew each others' sizes, tastes and styles and some of us may even share our wardrobe of shoes and clothes. But the moms will probably be more familiar with the daughters' than vice versa.

I may also do the same for my lil' darling when she get married. But that will be many many years down the road. :)

On a serperate note, our official Sinderella website is ready! You're most welcome to visit us at www.sinderella.com.sg. Our new bling bling gang of Chloe, Vanessa, Tiffani, Hannah etc., which is a hit at the exhibition, has yet to be made their appearance online. Please bear with us for a while ok? We need time to sort out the available stock and sizes after the exhibition.

In the mean time, you can purchase items from either here or the webby. Feel free to email us at sales@sinderella.com.sg for any enquiries.

Ta!

White wedding: Choosing the right shade of white

White is the traditional color of bridal dress in both western (European) and Japanese weddings. The ancient Greek started the tradition of white at wedding, which they saw as the bridal symbol of joy and celebration (1). In Japan, the bride wears a pure white kimono known as shiromuku which symbolizes purity as well as a new beginning as the bride is reborn a member of her husband's family (2).
Anne of Brittany wore a white wedding dress or her marriage to Louis XII of France in 1499. But up until the late 19th century, brides wore just about any color for their wedding gown (3).

In 1840, Queen Victoria wore white for her wedding to Prince Albert and started the fashion for wearing white.

Today, a white wedding gown is a MUST have for all weddings. But there are more than 200 shades of white around. How do do pick the right shade of white? Here're some suggestions to help you choose one that complements your skin tone:

For your gown

If you're fair-skinned, look for ivory shades containing yellow undertones.
If you have a pinker complexion, choose creamy undertones.
If you have olive, yellow-based, or dark skin, select champagne or off-white shades.

For your bridal shoes

Ivory dresses tend to go well with gold shades and ivory shoes. You can consider Champagne Belle, Ivory Sophie, Yvette and Jodie.

Truer whites work better with silver tones and of course the white shades. Match it with Silver Belle, White Sophie, Yvette, Jodie and Elsie.
