Wedding dance is rare in weddings. Beside really soothing and romantic wedding music being played in the background, you get to see the dance by the two main stars of that evening.

In Asia, there is seldom any dance. Guests sat in their seats all night, waiting to be served.

The guests hurried themselves to finish eating the food on their plates. The night seemed to pass by quickly and by the time even before dessert comes, many guests would have left.

Personally, I don’t really like to attend wedding dinner but I love to take photos of the wedding couples.

I love to capture every moment of their smile and laughter.

Beside this, I like nothing else about wedding dinner.

In a typical wedding, its highlight is the table-to-table toasting when bride and groom move from table to table to thank their guests for coming. Sometimes, they have table games such as forcing the groom to drink more liquor than he can hold or the bride has to pass an egg from the left trousers to the right of the groom.

Such games may create some momentary excitement to the wedding dinner.

The only very memorable wedding was the one that I attended on last Sunday. We were entertained by wedding singers.

Something different at least and for the guests to talk about even days after the wedding.

So far, I seldom saw any wedding dance except for the one that we had at my cousin’s wedding.

Before you continue reading, have you seen this post on my cousin’s wedding day programme and another post on her solemnisation. If not, please do so that there will be a flow.

Back to this post, my cousin’s wedding dinner hosted 56 tables in total, each table taking 10 people.

It was a really big wedding event for her with so many guests turning up for her very special day.

The wedding programme always started off with 1st march-in to cut the wedding cake.

She had actually engaged wedding singers to provide entertainment for her guests.

It was a splendid surprise for all of us, including me as I had never attended a wedding dinner with singing sessions.

Wedding Dance is uncommon in my country.

Normally, we call it march in. I feel wedding can be a very special one when the wedding couple dances into the ballroom rather than the normal march in.

My cousin had his wedding and surprisingly, there was this segment when he danced with his bride.

The dance served as an entertainment for us too.

Soon after, other guests joined them and we had our first dance too. The aisle was packed with dancing couples.

Even my aunties and uncles who are already in their sixties joined in too.

Rather an amazing sight to see. One of the very few in Singapore’s wedding indeed.

If you are planning your wedding and have a special piece of music for your all important first dance, you may want to sign up your very first wedding dance lesson in a dance studio.

from xperiencedays.com

Through a course of private lessons, the dance teacher may be able to customise the dance lesson for you.

As you know, we all have different calibre. For me, I’m sure I’m not a good dancer because I can’t coordinate the dancing steps well.

However, it is always worth a try.

At the dance studio, the experienced teachers can choreograph an individual dance to fit your music perfectly.

There are different type of wedding dances:
1. traditional Waltz,
2. sexy Argentine Tango
3. passionate Rumba

There is a very wide range of wedding and evening gowns offered by Bridal Studios.

Brides to be are spoilt for choice of what to wear and choose.

There are many times that brides get really overwhelmed by the number of gowns they have to choose.

1 wedding gown, 1 evening gown, 1 tea-dress, 1 Chinese Kua are the norms of an ordinary pakage.

However, for brides who can afford to pay more, they may have up to 2 or even 4 wedding gowns and 3 evening gowns.

Some brides even order gowns from overseas and arranged to be delivered to Singapore.

I remembered I have one friend of mine is really rich and she could afford to get different items such as her shoes, gowns from European countries. These items were to be air-flown to Singapore.

Wow!!!

Yes! Wedding is one in a life-time big event of one’s life. But it is just the beginning and for those brides who want more than what their budget allows, it is a wise decision to sit down and plan through how much they can spend on their gowns.

There are many times that an unwise decision was made in the spur of moment to get the gowns that they wanted to wear, and at the same time, they have blown their budgets.

So, one advice for ladies, as well as men out there, do include budgeting in the wedding planning and learn to do it together as it could benefit them by setting a foundation for them to learn to budget after their wedding…

and it is still a long long way to go…

Personally I feel that wedding is once a life-time thing and if we want to plan it, we put in our best.

Ideally, we would like to get whatever we want. However, there is always the constraint of budget.

I was looking through my folders in my desktop and happened to find some wedding favors’ photos that I have downloaded in the past from singaporebrides.com forum

This lady was very creative and she did her own wedding favors.

She posted these photos in the forum to share with other members like me.
