My wedding day was the best day ever 🥹🥹 I married the man of my dreams, and it was everything I ever wanted.

Here's my wedding cost breakdown! I had very high expectations of my own wedding, and both my husband & I didn't mind splurging on this once-in-a lifetime event. It was an amount that we were both comfortable with so please don’t be like “I rather spend $100K on travelling/renovation” or whatever. I believe we all have our own ways of spending OUR OWN money right!! So peace ✌🏻☺️

I didn't want to have a budget wedding, so I literally went all out for my wedding day like having 4 gowns and engaging 2 photographers LOL. Afterall, I am only gonna get married once. Ok so let's get started!

💒 First, on the wedding venues, we rented our church for our church wedding, ie. solenmization, and held our dinner banquet in W Singapore. – $42500

💃 My wedding gowns were definitely one of the highlights of the wedding! I received so many compliments on my gowns! my bridesmaids and I couldn't decide which one out of the four was the prettiest!!! I had one gown for church wedding, one cheongsam for tea ceremony, one for first march in during the dinner banquet, and last one for second march in! You know how expensive designer gowns are in Singapore… The most expensive gown I tried was $12K FOR RENTAL!!!! Don't worry, I didn't pay $12K for ONE gown, or else I'd have spent way more than $100K 🫢 The rental for 4 gowns, which include designer gowns, was around $13000.

Aside from my outfits are my wedding day jewelry and wedding shoes! I got jewelry from Chanel, Chaumet, Bvlgari specially for the wedding; wedding shoes from Jimmy Choo! Including our Cartier wedding bands, these all add up to around $20000 (which doesn't include my engagement ring)

🌹🌸 Next, flowers… We used fresh flowers for all the bridesmaids' bouquets and parents & groomsmen's boutonnieres. And of course my bridal bouquet. We topped up extra for a bigger centerpiece during our dinner banquet as well. ~$1100

Some miscellaneous expenses like invitation cards (yes we gave out physical invites, why not?), placecards for banquet, wedding car rental etc. We bought bridesmaids's actual day dresses, groomsmen's suit, I also prepared bridesmaids' proposal box (damn extra I know hahahha) Oh ya and also actual day angbao hahaha adds up to around $2000++

Some actual day vendors;

Actual day 2xPG + VG

Wedding day coordinators

My makeup artist… since I have 4 gowns, I needed 4 different looks. So my MUA was literally with me from 4am till my 2nd march in during dinner banquet.

Wedding stylist for both church wedding & dinner banquet

~$18000

We did one PWS overseas, one locally and also one cinematic elopment to be played before 2nd march in. Total was around $9000

Not sure if I missed out anything… if you want to read more on my wedding, you can search up on google as our wedding was featured on Singapore Brides! or you can also watch my videos on YT @gisellej where I shared my bride to be journey & wedding planning tips!

Whenever I think of my wedding day, I can't help but smile to myself!!! 🥰🥰🥰 It was truly the best day ever and I am so glad I did everything I could to make it extra elegant and perfect. Of course, thanks for the best husband ever! 😘❤️ so if you ask me, I don’t regret a thing!!! It was the most beautiful & perfect day ever hehehe. I will share more on my gowns & finding the perfect gown for your wedding day, follow me for more updates!

Was looking for a weekend activity to go and celebrate my friend’s birthday when i come by this pottery painting place ~ It is called Pottery Please, located at Queensway Shopping Centre!

It recently opened & they’re quite booked !!! You can whatsapp them or dm them on instagram!

It costs $28/person for studio fee and you have to pay additional for the pottery you choose! It starts from $8 to $20+! we chose the small trinket tray cause there was only 1.5hours to paint !!

There was quite a wide variety of colours, but the brushes were quite big, so you should bring your own if you wna paint smaller details!

We left our pieces there for her to fire the pieces & will only be able to collect it 3 weeks later!

The owner was super nice and helpful!!! She also volunteered to help us take pictures & videos!🤭 and also made sure everything was convenient for us!

We had such a fun time there & it was sooo therapeutic!! Would recommend this place if you’re looking for an activity to do this weekend ~ Super affordable !!!🤭

📍Pottery Please

Queensway Shopping Centre, 03-48

⏰ Tues – Sun: 1PM – 8.30PM

Traveling light is almost impassible for me since I always carry so many things with me. There are a few items I usually have in my bag whenever I go out. I always carry a big bag because of these items! Let me show you what I carry!

1️⃣ iPhone and Apple Wallet

I love my Apple Wallet! I can go out without everything else but I have to bring my Apple Wallet. My IC, Credit Card and License is in it. So convenient!

2️⃣ Wallet

I have other cards inside this like CHAS card, membership cards and also coins (of different currencies actually)

3️⃣ Mini Tripod

Sometimes I bring this to take group photos without asking for help. And also vlogging.

4️⃣ Portable Charger + Cable

I don’t know how people can leave home without a portable charger. Because without my phone I cannot grab home leh

5️⃣ Passport

This is very important when you’re out. You don’t know if some places have tax refund or you get into trouble with the popo. You will need the passport!

6️⃣ Lip Gloss & Eye Drop

My lips are forever dry so lip gloss is a must!

7️⃣ AirPods Max

Can’t go anywhere without music or watching TikTok and it looks so good! It’s kinda my accessory too.

Hello Zesties 🍋🍋

I’m back with a new hair style and I just want to share how I went from hating hair salon visits to loving it now❣️

Past experiences😡

I have always been afraid and anxious of hair salon visits and most of the time it’s just a simple hair cut. The hair stylists that I’ve came across are always so pushy and there are so many red flags 🚩 Most of the time, they hardly even give me the style that I want or best suits me.

My current favourite hair salon❤️

I have been going to Salon nu for about 6 months and I have been looking forward to each visit. The change is really huge and it’s all thanks to Jason.

👱🏻‍♀️The quality of the products and techniques he uses is always good which results in my curls and even colour lasting super well.

👱🏻‍♀️He listens and understand my style and requests and even my lifestyle before recommending me to try something new.

👱🏻‍♀️He gives me his honest opinion, for example not recommending me to bleach my hair because my hair texture is best for curls. (Professionalism😆)

👱🏻‍♀️I love my new hair every time and it always exceed my expectation.

Btw, I love my new hair!! The colour is so nice (a mix of brown, olive shade) and the curtain bangs frame my face shape so well ✨✨ Highly recommend you to go to Jason and remember to help me say hi to him😆

Roasted garlic is amazing and can be used to make roasted garlic butter (great for garlic bread), pasta dishes, eaten with steak etc. I also like to mash them up and mix it into salad dressings or sauces or mashed potatoes or cream soups! 🙂

It's super easy to make. All you need is

-Whole head of garlic

-Olive oil or any neutral tasting oil

-Salt and Pepper

1. Cut off the top of the garlic and make sure all the garlic cloves are exposed.

2. Place them on a parchment paper and drizzle of 1 tbsp oil for every head of garlic. Season with pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Airfry at 200 degrees for 10 mins or until the top caramelizes.

Done!!

Hi Zesties! 🍋

Here is another episode to share in what I have tried for my meal prep recently and what are my thoughts of it!

I tried the Tyson grilled tendor chicken as a meal prep and let’s take a look at the nutrition breakdown Meal prep calories

1. 100g chicken tender = 145 kcal; 18.3g protein

2. 100g spinach = 24kcal (minimal)

My personal thoughts of Tyson grilled tendor chicken? It is a real go to if you are lazy to prep for the usual chicken breast cause for this grilled tendor chicken, it’s really juicy and you don’t have to marinate before hand!

Just heat up using the air fryer for 6-8 mins in 200C and you can serve it together with some veges for a balanced meal! For me, I boiled my spinach for 5 mins and sprinkle some Kewpie roasted sesame dressing for a little taste of flavour!

Hope to hear your thoughts of this meal prep if you try and what are the easy + fast meal prep options that you have!

Bon appetite! ✨

My Guo Da Li is coming soon and we have yet to get the most important Si Dian Jin and was low key panicking. We tried searching online from reputable jewellery shops such as SK, Lee Hwa and Poh Heng but nothing caught my eye. The usual 四点金 are damn thick, chunky and fugly. The designs were so outdated and we couldn’t bear to spend a bomb on something that’s so 🤮🫠

Me and my partner (+ MIL) agreed that we should get something that I can wear out for formal occasions or even dress down if I want to. We didn’t want to pick something that expensive and left collecting dust in the safe… so after doing a couple of quick research on lemon8 I chance upon this shop Chung Hwa recommended by a couple of zesties! Decided to drop by People’s Park Complex to have a look and this was the best decision everrrr!! We go everything within 1.5hrs 🤭

When you first arrive at the shop you’ll be greeted with a queue. This shop is one of the more popular ones with no gst hence the queue. Most of the staff are aunties/uncles/ bengs with not the best attitude BUT their varieties provided was quite insane. They have A LOT of dupes. From Tiffany & Co to LV to carrier to Christian Dior to Van Cleef. Just show them the design of the authentic piece and they can give you the gold version 🤭

I wouldn’t say they are fake as they are made of real 916 gold, it’s not exactly cheap but definitely cheaper than the real deal. Every price is hand made thus workmanship differs for each, if there’s a piece u really like but the design may be a bit wonky/scratchy just ask for a new one to compare. Depending on the budget you have you can choose thicker chunkier chains or even thin dainty pieces.

It was our first time buying gold so we’re kinda suaku but usually each piece of gold Jewelry comes with a tag stating how many grams of gold there is. Based on the gold price ($90+ to $100+) you then multiplied by the grams to get the cost of the gold. That’s not all, you still have to add the workmanship price that ranges from $50-$400 depending on how intricate the design or if u want something custom made that’s possible too. A very basic Cartier Love ring in Size 13 cost about $820, slightly cheaper than the real deal and you know it’s gold so you can sell it off in the future!

We spent mid 4 digits on 7 pieces of items and we were super happy with it! If you’re looking to get some gold items as accessories or for guo da li si dian jin, I will highly recommend to give this place a shot✨
