Cang-Ai Wedding

www.cangai.sgTheir unique and customized bridal gowns from Taiwan are just to die for! While there have always been localized trend, the style really hit its peak with its ‘lady-like’ and ‘ultra-feminine’ glamour with a little bit of ‘retro’ style as well. These gowns definitely take trends to a new level of ‘oomph’.

These killer dresses are a little more westernized in style, from French Collections ‘Pronuptia’, ‘Philippe Swann’ and ‘Emilie Des Pres’. While the accessories on each give them a more French Riviera feel, they can be seen as gowns that capture the ‘super cute’ and ‘daringly chic’ styles. Very inspirational!
Thomson Wedding Collection
To celebrate its 47th Anniversary, Thomson has further rustled up some glamorous inspiration that showcased some of the top wedding dresses and men suits by their two in-house designers. As there have always been retro-lovers, you can never go wrong with these dresses and suits that capture the ‘retro’ style so well. How do I know? Well, because I’m also a big fan of the 60’s retro glamour.
Z Wedding

www.zwedding.com.sgZ Wedding’s oh-so-sweet creations have all the charm of the ‘Le Cirque’ evening gowns collection, ‘Lost in Wonderland’ and ‘Harley-Davidson’ men’s suit collections that they launched in September 2011. One of the great things about these dresses and suits is they can be appreciated in many aspects, and where you can let the design and style speak for themselves!

And even the wedding dress of Kate Middleton at her wedding to Prince William is possible, just in case that happens to be your dream dress!
