A beautiful Wedding and an expanding dress


This weekend was a beautiful one. I witnessed my dear friend marry the love of her life. The reception was at this amazing restaurant, it was open air and next to this beautiful garden.


We even found a couple of beautiful peacocks gracing this memorable occassion!



A is an old friend of mine and boy's. We go back all the way in our uni days. She was my teammate and a great training partner, where we practised hard and went for competitions together. My boy was our senior and trainer... hee... that's how I met him.

Thrifted Vintage crochet dress: Salvation Army

Slip: Metro

Gold Rim Vintage suede purse: Etsy

Stockings: Uniqlo

Shoes and layered pearl necklace: Far East


All well ends well! I was still worried about the dress before the wedding. It shrunk for 2 inches after wash, though I stretched about 1 inch back after the wash. This amazing crochet dress decided to expand by itself throughout the day of my wear! Now it's back to the original length! (Now I have to mend the few big holes created by my violent stretches...hee)


Wonder if this outfit looks Chanel- ish, cause she is my inspiration! Black and white and layered pearls!



This weekend was the most beautiful, also because it's me and boy's first attendance to a wedding as a married couple. It feels so special just witnessing our dear friend take her vows when she just witnessed us take it a month ago.


Beautiful place card for me and my boy! A drew it and coloured it herself!
