We made it to the foyer of the Grand Ballroom and there were so many couples there already! There was a photo booth, a make-over corner, a cocktail bar and a mocktail bar; ideas to entertain our guests before our wedding dinner! Well, we were entertained as guests for now!
Soon, the doors to the Grand Ballroom opened and wow, I wasn't expecting the showcase to be thaaat extensive, chefs were busy preparing meals live by the side, all sorts of decoration ideas - backdrops and wedding table presentations, plenty of booths showcasing everything you need for a wedding. We were seated and the host of the showcase walked in...and I was...star-strucked! It was DIANA SER! I how like her please!
Luckily W sat me down at the front row, she was just right there! She's elegant, eloquent, witty and sharp; she's really charming in real life! And putting her in that Reem Acra dress is just...perfect. What a great start already right. And the next segment came and it was a bridal runway show...
Totally speechless, really wasn't expecting this but I really really love watching runway shows...(I'll insert the links to some of my favourite haute couture runway shows at the end of this post - don't say never share!).
And Truly Enamoured Bridal Boutique (click here to see more on their instagram) showed off their international designers gown selection such as Paolo Sebastian, Oscar De La Renta, Elie Saab, Monique Lhuillier, Zuhair Murad, Marchesa and their exclusives brands Cinobi Cinobi and Inbal Dror.
And thats one of the very popular Swan Lake wedding dress by #PaoloSebastian! I tried this dress once and it was unforgettable, really. It is extremely comfortable and light to wear, very flattering too! I especially love the paneled skirt of silk organza layers! Super excited to see it again!
And my other favourite by #Marchesa. The ombre sequin gown that looks like a starry night sky...its gorgeous!
More from Cinobi Cinobi and Inbal Dror!!!

Once the bridal runway show ended, I hurriedly went to have a picture taken with Diana Ser! Super #fangirl moment please haha.
Tasting of different dishes prepared by Ritz's chefs! W & I missed the chance to eat this really yummy looking Abalone Noodles - we took our time browsing the different booths and it was gone before we knew! But I did have a Braised Superior Consomme with Truffles and Mushrooms...mmm it was great!
Ok this little tarty thing below was really good but I have no idea what was it, I only know I had a few haha! I'll check with my planner soon.
Backdrops by Boenga. Can't wait to speak to them in time to come!
Didn't take too much photos, and I'm missing the pretty wedding table presentations. But fret not, plenty of photos on instagram (search for #rcmemories & #rcweddings) or you can find some on Ritz's facebook too!
Of course, already impressed and with a mind set to hold our wedding here. We signed the contract the day itself and there was a lucky draw for couples who did so! And guess what - we won the main draw! It was a complimentary two nights stay at The Sanya Edition in Sanya, the province of Hainan. This page came out (click here) when I excitedly googled for this interesting destination, both W & I are looking forward to explore this destination together!
Emptied out the goodie bag and it came with plenty of ideas for the wedding and some gifts...!

#trueself hahahahah. W decided to snap a post ootd...to 'capture trueself' -.-
Make up & hair credit to www.the-makeuproom.com who added some touches to my face & hair! They even provide a mobile vanity make up station - an instant make up booth for your wedding guest! How cool it that!
I would highly recommend couples who are planning their weddings to attend showcases like these, for inspirations or simply to have a clearer picture of what the hotel has to offer! It was an afternoon well spent. Thank you Ritz for having us & of course the lucky draw gift!
