In Singapore with such a hot weather, I wonder why some women (and men) keep their hair long.

However, I know that as the wedding approaches, some ladies with short hairs see themselves as prettier with long hair.

For me, I feel that it doesn’t matter if you have long or short hair. What matter most is you must be absolutely comfortable in your wedding hairstyles, whichever you choose.

If you really want to grow your hair long, do remember to give ample time for your hair to grow.

Alternatively, you can use hair extensions.

If you have no experience of having long hair and want to give it a short, discuss with your professional hairstylist and explore all possibilities of hairstyles.

Keep an open mind.

You may want to do some research before going for your hairstyling.

Go to the internet and Google for example “long wedding hairstyles” and copy the pictures to Microsoft word document and print them out.

Alternatively, buy bridal magazines and check out those brides with long hair. Cut out those pictures you really love and show them to the hair-stylist.

Here are some long wedding hairstyles for your reference:

Hi, I have an email enquiry from some of my readers:

“Hi Jhong Ren,

I concerns about the housing.

Where can get the cheaper wedding gowns,bridal makeup & styling in singapore.

Thank you.

Susan :)”

My suggestion to this answer is you can ask around from your married friends if they have any recommendation of friends in this line. Or you can pay your Make-up artist from your bridal studio for freelance assignments. Perhaps, she may charge around S$50 for one make-up session.

For cheaper wedding gown, you can ask for off the rack from local bridal studios. There lots to choose from along Tanjong Pagar Road and you can check out their pricing. “Remember don’t be pressurised to sign their contract by their very persuasive sales team.

Then, alternatively, you can visit those bridal studios from neighbourhood areas. They may have cheaper gowns.

The last option is get second hand prom dresses and have them altered by a seamstress who you can trust. It may be much cheaper than getting them from a bridal studio. 🙂

This post is from a fellow wedding blogger I know. His name is Chris Morton and he has a fantastic wedding site. You can view his wedding site at theweddingwizards.com.

“One of the things you will have to do as you plan your wedding is choose your song for the first dance. While some brides and grooms have a special song, other couples find it difficult to choose a single song that represents the love they have for one another. Here are some songs you can choose as you plan your wedding dance:

Can You Feel the Love Tonight
While it was first heard in the ?Lion King,? this Elton John song describes the feeling everyone at your wedding should be having. There should be love in the air, and this song celebrates that fact.

Endless Love
Lionel Richie and Diana Ross sing a duet that has remained a wedding staple. The two singers pronouncing their love for one another can allow you to dance to how you feel without having to grab the microphone and say it yourself.

Heaven
Hoping that your wedding is heavenly, too, this Bryan Adams song is a testament to the love you and your spouse share.

Have I Told You Lately
An easy song to dance to, Rod Stewart?s ?Have I Told You Lately,? is a nice way to make a statement about your feelings toward one another. The beat and softer sound also make it an easy song if you aren?t the best dancers.
