A Wedding Day at FooChow Methodist Church
How did you decide on your wedding date and venue? What was your wedding theme and inspiration?
Our wedding was held on 15 March 2025, which also happened to be my birthday.
We didn't have a specific theme planned, but the overall look turned out to suit my preference for pastel colours.
What was your wedding day like? Were there any challenges during the preparations?
Overall, the wedding day went really well, and we had a wonderful time celebrating with our family and friends.
One small challenge was during our photoshoot. I had to step onto the grass in my gown, and because it had rained the night before, the ground was quite muddy and wet. I was a little worried about getting the long train stained!
Finding the One: Cora
What made you choose Bone & Grey Bridal?
I liked that Bone & Grey offered minimalist yet pretty wedding gowns. The service and communication with Joy were also very smooth, and I really enjoyed the fitting process.
What made you choose the Cora gown, and what did you like most about it?
I tried on quite a number of gowns before narrowing down my choices during the fitting with Joy. I wanted something that would flatter my figure, especially after losing 6kg during my wedding preparations.
I eventually chose the Cora gown, and I was really happy with how it looked on the day.
How did you decide on your bridal hair and makeup?
I went for a clean and demure look to complement the church wedding. I wanted the overall styling to feel simple and elegant.
What did your family and friends think of your gown?
My family and friends had lovely things to say about Cora. They complimented how it looked on me during the first look, which made me feel even happier with my choice.
A Moment to Remember
What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day?
Walking down the aisle and saying "I do" to the love of my life was definitely the most memorable moment. Being surrounded by our loved ones and wearing such beautiful gowns made the whole experience feel surreal.
What advice would you give to brides-to-be when choosing their wedding gown?
Try on as many gowns as you can before making your decision. It also helps to bring your bridesmaids or girlfriends along to get their opinions.
I'd also recommend showing your makeup artist the gowns you've chosen and the overall look you're going for. This helps them create a hair and makeup style that complements your dress.
