Perfect imperfections

Such lovely lyrics don't you think B2Bs. I'm so surprised haven't heard this song yet in recent weddings banquets we have attended this year. It's true, if he is "the one" he will love your everything including your perfect imperfections ...

[Verse 1:]
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

Flower girl dresses

In addition to those shops mentioned below, Acacia Wedding knows of a wholesaler in New Territories. They also have kids outfits (customizable, in various sizes & very decent quality & super value for money). Drop us a message if you'd like address. By the way don't call them flower kids, "花仔" is "page boy" and "花女" is "flower girl".

"參加過不少朋友的婚禮，每當花仔花女一出場，往往都成為亮點。曾經聽攝影師講過：「如果舉行教堂或戶外婚禮少了花仔花女，就好像婚禮少了一個世紀之吻一樣，感覺總有點美中不足。」我非常同意攝影師的講法，因為發現每次新人與友人分享婚照時，朋友們一見到花仔花女，總會換來一連串的歡笑聲與數十句「好得意」，叫好又叫座。他們就如電影中的配角，可以讓畫面更具感染力，令溫馨場面更溫馨，歡樂場面更歡樂。因此，為成就更懾人的畫面，他們的造型絕對不容有失。

有見現今市面上的花仔花女禮服質素及設計參差，MODE Tuxedo 創辦人Eddie 和 Edia 特別打造全新兒童禮服品牌 MODE Children，務求為花仔花女度身訂造質素高且價錢合理的「飲衫」 (度身訂造價：約 HK$2,500)。首度登場的花仔系列 (圖一)，除款式設計夠紳士之外，更嶄新地使用防水、防皺且透氣的乾濕褸物料 Gabardine 製作，令花仔穿得有型又舒服；花女系列方面，除了有色調柔和且予人優雅感覺的芭蕾舞短裙外，更有源自童話公主的小散裙 (圖二)，讓花女可以當一天美麗的小公主。

有著共同理念的 Blush Bridal 創辦人 Sonia 有見市面上欠缺既舒適又時尚的兒童禮服，而且發現愛為小朋友悉心打扮的父母越來越多，因此，創立了Pom Pom Little Couture (圖三)。不論為疼愛自己孩子的父母或想以小禮服作為花童禮物的新人，都有較佳的選擇。

不過，知道亦有父母及新人不是覺得小禮服價錢太貴，就是擔心小孩子成長速度太快，禮服穿上幾次便不合身。因此，前身為時裝買手，現為 Chic-oholic Kids 創辦人的 Jen 特別自家為小女孩而製作 tutu skirt (圖四；售價：HK$328)。Tutu skirt 共有 7 種搶眼顏色供選擇，由質地柔軟且層次感豐富的 tulle 製成，上身不論配襯甚麼也無損小公主貴氣。最重要的是，小裙具彈性的橡根頭設計，就算孩子日漸成長，腰圍大了數吋也合穿，起碼可比一般禮服耐穿多一、兩年，對父母與新人而言，感覺或會更划算呢！

Honeymoon chitchat, ecofriendly resorts

Dear honeymooners, Tripadvisor sent out their "top 10 most gorgeous eco hotels" this week.

http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/TripNews-a_ctr.ecochicEN

Its a bit US-centric, but the article reminded us of a resort here in Asia which we easily vote as the best eco-friendly luxury hotels. Its called Sixth Sense on Con Dao Island, it really is a secret as there are no international flights to this serene place. You can trust Brangelina on it!

Met Ball Evening Gowns

All over local papers, western media and TV like Channel-E, lots of attention on western celebrity fashion during the "Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala" (Met Ball) in NYC. Better than pics is this video link below!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/tvshowbiz/video-1093852/Stars-fashionistas-attend-Met-Gala-New-York.html

No doubt a lot of differing opinions but we vote best and worst dressed evening gowns for Miss Blake Lively (metallic Gucci Premier) and Miss Kate Upton (black lace Dolce & Gabbana).
