Talia: A touch of Swarovski

I was told that my hairdo and accessories for my white gown was breathtakingly true to my fun nature yet maintaining decorum of a bride. So I felt it was only fair I shared a little about it with you. Frankly, hairdo and its accessories wasn't the top of my prioirty. I was just lucky to meet people who made it the top of their priority.

My look for my solemisation went for the regal and pure bridal look. Initially, I wanted to do a low bun, but my hair stylist wanted everyone to see my hair accessory, cos as she put it was too beautiful to be hidden. This particular set of hair accessory was rented from Talia.


Talia handcrafts all their accessories and is particularly deft with the use of Swarovski crystals. Compared to the other hair accessories provided by the bridal studios, the Swarovski elements in this set brings a more elegant sparkle. It is very simple, but still catches your eye with its delicateness.

Initially, when I was discussing the design with Talia, my vision was something with a bit more colours - mainly pastel blue and pink. But Talia convinced me otherwise. And I have to say for the pure, fresh bridal look. Nothing works finer than white. I feel in love with the design at first sight.


Hana Crochet Design provided the crocheted petals for this design. And I have to say nobody brings out the realism of flowers as good as them. I am so lucky to have it for my wedding. The white, transparent crystals reminded me of the morning dew. With the petals and crystals entwined together, it reminds me the of the white flowers on branches in the wee morning, ready to blossom. <3

Coincidentally for my first march-in, my stylist decided to use fresh baby-breaths. But you can see from the photos, the flowers made by the crystals and crocheted petals looks lux and don't pale when compared with the fresh flowers. Guess I really did blossom in love. :P


Much as I like to think, there was a story behind the hairdo and accessory. The only reason why we didn't use the crystals again for the first march-in because my stylist thought she just couldn't let me march-in twice with the same hair accessories. Plus, she wanted a more fun and natural look for the banquet itself.

Although I won't say I ranked hair and accessories that high in my prioirty list, it still felt darn good when people told me how much they like my hair (and how much effort I put into it!) And best of all, I felt good and awesome in my hairstyles. And a confident bride means more beautiful photos on the day itself! If you like my design, you can also rent it from Talia. They do have other hair accessories such as crowns etc. for rental as well...and if you don't like any of it, you could always design something fancy yourself *winks*

The flower of my eye


My wedding theme is floral pink and blue and I can't help but wonder if it had been influenced by this little pretty one (or should I call them twos.) So anything that is (i)soft, (ii) floral and (iii) pastel, has been pulling hard the strings in my heart. I just succumb to purchases.

In fact, I am contemplating for my hand flowers to look something like this...lol. Delicate yet intricate, there is just a soft, gentle beauty about it. (Yes, I know my wedding invites are inspired by this too :P)


Here's a side profile of me in these darlings. :) These earrings are made of "crochet fabric" so it gives a nice texture and realism to it. However, one thing I realise though was that this pretty things were a little hard to match.

I think it is due to the fault of my wardrobe (shopping time) I don't have much pastel, dainty clothes in my wardrobe. And most of my clothes are rather smooth and lack texture variety. So I couldn't pull off the softening effect from the earrings. But I think I will definitely look more like a demure lady if I match them with knitted clothes or clothes with laces. :)


Eva from Hana Crochet Design has kindly allowed me to share with you some of her behind the scene photos to let you have a feel how each flower is made. Her designs are amazing. Never would I have imagined crochet earrings could look so beautiful. (The dangling white floras look fitting for a bride doesn't it?)

Her variety is pretty amazing too - dangling, with gems, tassels. Wow. If your dress style is very lady-like and is more of soft, floral themed, you may end up buying her whole store down. :) Hmm, I am now a bit tempted to get myself another pair of white floral earrings...haha
