Wedded in the right direction

Singapore Wedding Guide

Ever thought about 'hitch' and how it sounds a lot like 'bitch' and 'witch'? Don't get scary now you're about to wed, just know where to head!

Rock on
First things first, every girl needs a solid rock. We recommend a bespoke diamond, sourced by a private dealer you can trust. Talk with Milly at Errai Jewellery pronto.

The frock
If you are looking to replicate haute couture dresses head to Amanda Lee Weddings. If you are looking for something a little different, see We Love Yu, an upcoming designer who will impress.

Location, location
Next, let's see, Bali or Singapore. If you're heading off take a look at our Bali Wedding Guide. Here to wed? Then venue is the next trick. Hot right now is Capella with their resort style wedding, The Shangri-La which is the best for big weddings and The White Rabbit, perfect for a smaller crowd at a fun location with a church-like feel. For old world charm The Raffles Hotel and Graze are great options, and for a Zen-like, minimalistic wedding take a peek at a Kha.

Snap happy
You need to capture every moment. If you're on a budget, we hear Martin T. Photography is your man. 39 East Images is another one to meet and if you really value photos, you need to see Gabriel Mendes or Noel Yeo, both are guaranteed to capture your best side.

Flower, power
You need to stop to smell the roses, and here are three tried and tested florists that will do just the trick - Pollen, known for their contemporary and out-of-the-box arrangements, Sing See Soon, and Sir Charles Florist at Raffles and if your are on a budget, check out Petals & Leaves.

Wine time
If you can supply your own wine, you will save a pretty penny. Talk with a wholesaler, like Anita from Wine Masters or Lyn from Wine Exchange Asia.

Register this
An online wedding registry is the way to go. Looking for Alessi, Ercuis, LeCreuset, Riedel, or Sheridan head to Double Happiness Gift Registry Singapore. With over 70 brands, this site saves you schlepping around the shops.
