In Search For My Perfect Wedding Bands: Love And Co.

Ever since we came back from our Hong Kong trip where Colin had planned a magical Hong Kong Disneyland wedding proposal, friends have been asking when we'll be tying the knot. 

My response is always,

"Not so soon la. It'll be at least 1 year later. 

We need to plan and save up for our big day first right…"

Of course, wedding preparations are already ongoing BUT we are only in the brainstorming phase right now. I know you're anxious, so am I but let's wait patiently for the big moment okay?

Looking Out For The Perfect Wedding Bands

It's most fun being in the brainstorming phase!

I swear I'm going to take my time here.

Colin and I have decided to take our time to explore options, ideas and even thought of planning crazy stuff for our wedding. At this stage, anything and everything is possible to do!

We're also at this stage where we can spend hours admiring the different types of wedding bands we desire when we tie the knot. First of all, thank you Love & Co. for extending your invitation to Colin and I to your exclusive event the moment we're back from Hong Kong!

A Royal Affair With LVC Aqueen

The most versatile creation of Love & Co's craftsmen, the LVC Aqueen can transform itself into different permutation of styles with the simple rearrangement of the built-in bands made of high quality gold and diamonds.

I like how I rearrange them according to how I like it, wear it with the diamond layer or just the plain one with a beautiful craving of the monarch butterfly, which symbolises a new beginning.

You can do the same arrangements as you like with the LVC Aqueen necklace and bracelet.

YES, we'd like to try them on please!

Oh by the way, my nails were done by Cherpetite Nails.

As much as I love the design of the LVC Aqueen collection, I'd love to keep wearing my proposal ring together with my wedding band. I'd need lesser layers on my finger to balance the overall look.

Thankfully at the Vivocity showroom, we got to go through a ring analysis to match our preference to suggested ring styles as well as a relationship personality quiz to match our love story to a modern-day royal couple.

Here are the other wedding bands collections I tried on, in search for my perfect wedding bands.

Love & Co. Wedding Band Series

LVC Noeud

Like a ribbon, two rows of diamonds are carefully set and secured on the band by four knots; each representing key elements in a long lasting relationship - Faith, Honesty, Patience and Endurance.

One of my other favourites - LVC Promise

The polished 'L' like a lover's embrace to represent eternal love.

LVC Eterno

The LVC Eterno comes in different layers of diamonds to choose from.

Trying the different thickness made me discover just what I needed for my wedding band, something thinner between 1 - 2 layers would be perfect!

Something like this classic diamond-layered wedding band would match my proposal ring perfectly.

After rounds of trying, we found the design that we'd want to go for when it's time.

My ideal design of my wedding band - LVC Desirio

Absolutely love it, love it, love it!

Colin likes the design a lot too - graceful and elegant.

Love & Co. Exclusive Box Packaging!

If there's one more thing I love about Love & Co, it's their ring bearer boxes!

And no, we can't BUY them.

They are exclusively limited to Love & Co. collections only and different collections comes with different box designs. 

For instance, this special crystal ring bearer box will be given away with every Love & Co. engagement ring purchased, top with a mini swing and two bears.

To try my luck, I asked if I could buy the box and no I can't, nooooo…..

I really really really LOVE the packaging!

*Screammmm*

For the LVC Proponere collection, you'll get this intricately designed ring bearer box.

The ring bearer box can only be opened when the two keys are used. 

These exclusive boxes, I want!!!

Caricature Momento

The event ended with Colin and I receiving a couple-caricature sketch done by Adam, a talented and most entertaining caricaturist. He made us laughed with his wonderful sketch of us- bravo Adam!

Awwww….

*Blush*

But how come got 3 pairs of legs ah?

What an eye-opener to the world of wedding bands!

My Private Sea Outing with Duke, a yacht!

You know how I love entering Crocs boutique?
It's so colourful, sending out so much happy vibes once you step inside!

This time round, I visited Crocs at Vivocity. The interior is so much bigger and more spacious than the rest of their other boutiques.





Gim & I were on a mission to....



find the biggest Crocs shoes!
And guess what we found:




The shoe is VERY VERY BIG indeed!

Our Gim is totally obsessed!





There were other bloggers with us: Smith, Christine, the Cambelles & of course, Silver. Try to take notice the 2 pictures below, we are ALL wearing our Crocs shoes by coincidence!





Come on, don't Silver, Kaye and I look like some Crocs Shoes Models being featured on magazines or catalogues? Please say YES!

Modern Crocs shoes are really different now. It even comes in comfortable wedges, unlike the past where they are just covered sandals with holes on it. No more child-foot-stuck-between-escalators.

Wait till you see the children's footwear! There's even school bags, pencil cases, handbags & figurines. Talking about these, *alamak* why didn't I take photos of those pretty things?! I will definitely do that on my next visit to Crocs!



The wedges are so comfortable that I have to get a pair! I choose the turquoise one because everyone were nodding their heads in agreement that I look really feminine in them.



Apparently, the wedges are the hotsellers because all the ladies in the house got a pair of those! I would say it's because they are so much lighter than other wedges. On top of that, the bumpy surfaces on the crocs will increase your blood circulation of your feet.



My honest experience is, ever since I started wearing Crocs shoes (esp the pair of Crocs Tone shoes which I've blogged about it here), I no longer suffer from feet aching. I don't know if you have the same feet problem as I do; I will get this really aching feeling in the part of my sole just beneath my toes, a burning-sensation for pressing the sole against the ground for too long.

This aching was solved after I started wearing Crocs Shoes.

Yesterday, i was wearing my boots out for a hosting event, the aching feeling came back after 1 hour. I had to change back to my crocs shoes straight after the event because it was aching so much that I was limping.


Happy girls, Christine, Silver & I on our way to the yacht club! Duke, wait for us?


















I've been talking so much about Duke, so who is he?
Unfortunate, or in this case MORE fortunately for guys reading this post now, Duke is a SHE. She's the yacht which we are going to sail on in awhile!







I'm super excited as this is my first yacht trip!



I remembered to tie up my hair this time, unlike the previous Nikoi Island trip where I got my hair all tangled up. It hurt a lot as untangled the mess.



The sun is beaming on our side but look at Singapore! The thunder clouds seemed to be chasing after us. It started raining 'behind' us, after our trail.



The interior is really comfortable & cosy, with its own couch, kitchen, 3 bedrooms & even a toilet!
I've uploaded more photos on my facebooe page here.







Smith, Christine, Silver & me. You know, I simply enjoy eavesdropping listening to their conversation *ops*. The topics which they discuss & share makes me hunger for more knowledge. Sometimes I feel that I'm quite naive and someone with little knowledge.


Meanwhile, Gim is playing Captain Jack Sparrow.


It's kind of awkward once you see the BIGGER picture:







Soon, I caught Gim falling asleep against our Captain Joe. The rocking sea works like a bedtime lullaby for him.



Golden retriever spotted on our way back:




Nearer to the end of the trip, the yacht engine stalled and we were being towed back. We almost reached the pier when the tow boat capsized! It's really no one's fault but I wished that the staff on the tow boat could be more patient.

Overall, it was an awesome adventure! It marked yet another chapter of my life, a story to me that our lives are precious.

See, we made it back, safe & sound!
