Beach Wedding
Planning for a Beach Wedding?
My friend had her most stunning, romantic and memorable beach wedding in United States. Too bad that it was too far for me to travel there with my toddler. I can see how happy she was on her wedding day from some of the photos that she shared with me. At last, she found her Mr Right and best of all she had her dream wedding.
When her Mr Right agreed to have Beach Wedding, she quickly google on the internet finding beach wedding guide and instantly she purchased the e-book
Beach Wedding Planning Guide
She mentioned that luckily she managed to find the book and read it. Else, her dream wedding won't be as perfect as she thought. The checklists at the end of each section are so useful for her in planning her beach wedding.

Bridal photos
Want to have the perfect bridal photos that you want?
Theme
First, you will need to decide on the ALBUM THEME. Something simple? cool? elegant? fairy style? etc.
You can refer to some wedding magazines or surf through some bridal houses websites to see the photo styles and determine what you actually want to be on your bridal album.
Milan Bridal House
Ideal Wedding
Crystal Brides
Desantia Bridal House
My Dream Wedding House
Bridal House
Location
Once the theme is set, you will need to determine on the locations that you want to shoot your bridal photos - beach, garden, heritage building, jetty, clock tower, waterfall, hotel etc.
Photographer
Once the above are decided, we will need to inform the photographer so that the photographer can help in taking photo shots to prepare the album later on. In fact, I would say PHOTOGRAPHER is the key factor in deciding on the bridal studio that we want to sign our bridal package with. If we can't communicate well with the photographer, the photos effect will not come out well and the album will not be something that we want/like.
Hence, before you sign up any package during bridal fair, do spend some times talking to the photographer to see if you can 'click' with him/ her.
My experience
What I did previously was I folded many pages from the magazines and passed to my photographer to let him know of the style and shot that I want to be in my album. I actually spent time looking through the magazines and surfing the internet on others' bridal photos. Afterall, it's once in a lifetime precious album with my hubby.
Besides, we had some photos taken in Europe (pre-honeymoon trip) as the bridal photos background. We talked to the photographer prior to our trip to find out if this is doable. And to our delight, it can be done. Those photos need to be taken at high resolution on a DSLR.

My Wedding Preparation Experience (Chinese Wedding held in Penang)
After Mr Right proposed to me, his family visited my parents (提亲) to discuss about dowry and any customary that my parents want to follow. Thanks God that my mum has become a modern mum despite being a full time housewife for 30 years! Glad that the meet up session went on smoothly.
First thing to do after the meet up was to go to Kim Tiao Tang (金吊桶 +604-2271655) at Penang Burmah Road to ask for the good date to have the customary pick up bride and tea ceremony. The consultation charge is RM50 which the uncle will provide the list of good wedding dates and dates and times for some customary procedures e.g. delivering dowry to the bride’s family, setting up the bridal room, pray to the Sky God etc. Once the RM50 is paid, we can call the uncle as many times as you want to ask whatever questions you have, be it to change the wedding date or anything about the custom procedures. I also tried to get the Sang Ke Erm from Kim Tiao Tang but she had been booked.
We started to list down the guest list as we need to find the venues that can cater the number of tables we require. For the venue, we did not choose a specific theme like beach or garden wedding but just opt to hold the wedding dinner at the hotel as it’s more modern looking as compared to Chinese restaurant. It’s really a headache for us to match the good dates with the venue we wanted. We even called up the uncle at Kim Tiao Tang a few times to recheck on the good date for us. Advice is to book the hotel as early as possible.
Once the date and venue is firmed, we decided on the best man, maid of honor, heng tais, ji muis and helpers at the reception. Luckily this was very easy for us.
Next we sourced for vendors – photographer, videographer, bridal houses, card printing company, wedding gift, florist and gown for ROM.
We highly recommend Albert Video (+6012-4220881) that charge at reasonable price for photographer and videographer. Besides, no upfront deposit is required ;) No restriction on the number of photo shots as well.
We took our photos at Milan Bridal House (+604-2288918). Sad to say that the photographer has left the bridal house to venture into other industry. Else, he is also highly recommended for his patience and in shooting the bridal photos and came out with the album.
As for card printing company, I’d recommend Link Two Enterprise which is located at 3A-470, Bukit Jambul Complex (+60124280820/+6 0123810820; link2_ent@yahoo.com). Have a variety of cards at reasonable price. Good service too.
We chose The Starz Band to perform on our wedding dinner in Penang. Again, reasonable price with nice singers and songs. We are allowed to choose from the list of songs that they have. We can also request them to sing the songs that are not in their list. They just know to play the right song at the right stage of the wedding dinner. In Alor Setar, my dad invited a few Astro oldies singers to perform by paying RM5K of which only the older people will enjoy.
Eventually, we didn’t go for any special wedding gift like chopstick, candle, mini mug etc. We just got the bookmark with our bridal photos from the bridal house.
Some trivia things required will be signature booklet, parker pens for the guests to sign, box at reception to keep angpow.
Seating arrangement was the other thing to do once we received attendance confirmation from the invited guests.
