Most brides love wearing white wedding gowns as they exude pristine purity but doning a colored wedding gown injects an element of flirty fun and vibrance to achieve a cheerful overall effect. I chose this "Tangerine" gown as this photo shoot took place during the Chinese New Year festive period and "Tangerine" in Chinese sounds similar to "luck" so I hope that wearing this gown will help to bring me auspicious good luck. As it was the final dress that I wore for the shoot, my sister Sara Shantelle Lim and girlfriends Natasha Kittisara and Enne Tan joined us to create an interesting and fun photoshoot with many candid and spontaneous shots. The girls were happily posing and jumping off the bed to show their happiness for me. I was glad that I could just sit and look pretty. I guess they were high on champagne and chocolates. The girls were also in awe of my giant Swarovski Crystal ring which I got from the Singapore International Jewelry Exhibition (SIJE) 2013 held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. What an interesting shoot! It was a memorable day filled with joy, fun and laugher! Love you girls :) You can always count on your girlfriends to bring out the best in you!

Lora and Beautiful Love Wedding - I was delighted to work with Beautiful Love Wedding as they are a very professional bridal boutique in Singapore that not only carries the most elegant, beautiful and exquisite wedding gowns, they are extremely passionate about the work they do. I had the opportunity to take a look at all the designs of their newest collection of Wedding Gowns, discuss my personal preference and finally decide on which gowns I would like to wear for my pre-wedding photo shoot. I selected a total of 3 wedding gowns which included the "Princess" gown, the "Grace" gown under the Grandeur Collection and the "Tangerine" gown under the Colours Collection. White has always been my favorite color so it should not come as a surprise that I chose 2 white gowns out of the 3. Do not forget my nickname was "WhiteGaL" when I used to play Counterstrike many years back in various competitions. Click on each image to enlarge photos :)



The "Tangerine" Gown

The "Tangerine" gown - This "Tangerine" wedding gown features an interesting weave of pink, gold and champagne hues which creates a sweet, demure "princess" look. With a sweetheart neckline, this glorious "Tangerine" gown has a gentle grace and feminine touch. Its delicate champagne- gold encrusted embroidery and multi-layered tulle skirt allows one to look absolutely stunning in the swirls of luxurious colors chosen out of a sophisticated palette. Putting on this pastel colored wedding gown, I was immediately glowing with warm, rose gold radiance just like a flower in the vast beautiful fields of wilderness during a romantic sunset. This gown's peachy colors complements one's skin tone, transforming a simple girl into an alluring bride who radiates a stunning healthy glow, fresh radiance and unique beauty.  It is definitely a wedding gown that helps to highlight a bride's youthfulness, elegant grace, vitality, sass and character. An extraordinary stunning piece like no other...

To create a feeling of mysterious aura, putting on a embroidery lace veil is an important element when wearing a wedding gown which naturally hints of the bride's modesty. Gently lifting up the veil to reveal one's face to the pleasant surprise of onlookers results in a mystique allure effect that is graceful and almost like an enchantment. Every bride enjoys basking in the limelight and enjoy the attention bestowed on her on this very special day, a lingering moment where time stands still and where nothing else matters except her. The soft glow of the bride's face, eyes gleaming and her look of perfection is captured forever in the hearts of her groom, family, friends… Smile because you are beautiful :)

The "Grace" Gown

The "Grace" gown - One of my most admired timeless beauty icons is "Grace Kelly" who was an elegant American actress who became Princess of Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier III. This beautiful "Grace" gown features speckles of intricate white pearls and shiny beaded crystals which are professionally sewn together and carefully positioned to create an elegant gown that exudes poise, class, sophistication and one of timeless beauty. White pearls have always been my all time favorite and they helped create a romantic, feminine and breath-taking look for this "Grace" gown. The high-waist and bodice back of the gown consists of a ribbon and lace up corset that allows me to create an hourglass silhouette and accentuate my feminine curves. The tulle skirt is like a fairy tale fantasy with rolls and rolls of Chantilly lace forming the multiple layers of grandeur with subtle delicate floral patterns sewn on it to achieve the "perfect" extravagant princess ball gown. This piece is one of immaculate beauty, grace and elegance fit for an "aristocrat" lady, a discerning and sophisticated bride.
