Sorry for not updating for more than a week! Our food hunts & reviews were halted by a huge agenda coming our way.
The Wedding
C ♥ C Wedding Planning has been a really great routine for the past 1 year till now! I would really miss NOT planning when our wedding ceremony is over. Though we’ve been through lotsa ups & downs, at the end of the day we would just realized we’re doing our best for each other to make the best thing happen. Thus we decided to do a Wedding Diary: marking down how hard we worked for this. Haha.
Here’s our wedding itinerary: not the best quick guide but definitely giving a clearer view that Wedding Planning is way tedious than it looks!
Be your own Wedding Planner! 🙂
From 1 year – 4 months before THE Day

U guys have really put in a lot of effort in ur fairytale wedding, making every small details fantastic and sweet. Awesome!!!
Hi Christine
May I know did you husband made his wedding suit in Bangkok? If yes, can I know who is the tailor and can i have the contact pls?
Aileen
Hi Aileen,
Chris bought ready made suit when we were there as we were rushing that time. His ready made suit is very fitting too 🙂
If you want tailor made ones, you can check out the shops at 2nd floor, at Amari Watergates; right opposite Platinum mall. My dad got his suit done there with superb quality and at a very reasonable price.
If you wish to do a suit in BKK, it’s advisable for you to go get the measurements and choose fabric quality on the first day though they mentioned ready within 24 hours 🙂 Can amend if there are anything that you’re not satisfied with 🙂 Hope these info helps!
