Sadly the weather did not hold up and so later part of shoot with the gowns had to be postponed to another day. It had better not rain again then! :( I got a little upset and slightly grouchy ard noon time when the intermittent drizzle got heavier and sky grew darker, cos it meant having to buy flowers again and wasting my balloons, on top of having to set aside another day/ half-day from my meagre balance of vacation leave for another shoot. Bridal studio also want us to pay $80 for re-steaming the gowns/suit that we didn't even wear!

Thankfully our photographer was pretty professional and his positive attitude prompted me to make the best of the rest of the half-day shoot for our casual shots. Think they turned out somewhat promising in the end. We will end up spending more $ for the shoot; but this episode also reminded me to look at the brighter side of things; and of the wonderful people around me (e.g. parents were nice about it and tried to comfort me a little, so did D... even though I'm sure D was also upset all cldn't go as originally planned)

Hai, these flowers (freesia + wax flowers) are now a little wasted sitting pretty at a vase at home ;(

Have been trying to prepare for wedding photoshoot next Tues and beauty comes with a pretty hefty price tag! Have to fork out more for more elegant flowers; french tips for manicure cost $5 more (and now some nail boutiques charge you CNY surcharge! what a way to rip ppl off) and pre-wedding shoot make-up costs quite a bit (with extension of MUA services chargeable at $100 per-hr with min of an hour)... It's so expensive to look nice :(

On lighter note, D & I prepared several props for some fun casual shots in casual wear...  Hopefully we will be blessed with good weather in this rainy season (the past week has been very promising) and that everything turns out well :)
