Tips: Wedding Mistakes you sure want to avoid

1.      A Lack of Personality
I have to emphasize: Your own personality. Not any theme others offer. Put in your interest and make the wedding yours wedding. Just be careful don’t burn yourself. 




2.      Wasting Moneys
Make sure you know your budget.

Discuss with your half, family and friend or wedding planner to know what's important to you and what isn't. Finally, stick to it.

3.      Forgetting What a Wedding really is
The wedding ceremony is the main event while the reception is just a celebration of it. Make sure you've put enough thought into the music, readings, and vows that will make your wedding ceremony memorable.



4.      Not Knowing the Master of Ceremonies
MC of the ceremony and the MC of the reception (often the DJ or band leader.) are the two people whose personalities are almost as important as the couple getting married. Make sure that your personalities mesh well with these two people, and that you feel listened to and respected.


5.      Thinking "It must be clear skies."
Unless your wedding are held indoor, you better consider it. If you're having an outdoor wedding, make sure that you have an alternate location in case of rain. 

Give a trusted person a list of vendors, phone numbers, and expected time of arrival so that you won't be caught 10 minutes before the wedding without the bouquets. Bring a bridal emergency kit for last minute snafus.



6.      Forgetting the Meaning of the Word "Budget"

You sure don't want to start a new life with thousands of dollars in debt behind you.

Use the budget as a tool to figure out what you can cut, what you can save and where other income might come from. Not only will budgeting help you afford your wedding, but it's an important skill for your married life.



7.      Getting Trashed the Night Before the Wedding
Do yourself a favor, skip drinking the night before.
The last thing you need is to wake up with a headache, puffy skin, fuzzy head, or worse, an upset stomach. 



8.      Being Inconsiderate
Yes, it's your wedding, and your special day. But you need to take other people into consideration as well. Think about what you are asking. 


  • Is what you need the wedding party to do fair? Have you been clear about your expectations about level of commitment? 
  • Will your guests be forced to stand around for over an hour while you take pictures? 
  • Will they be comfortable in the weather or have you thought to provide bottles of water, fans, and/or wraps and heaters? 
  • Do guests know what to expect? 
  • Are you planning your wedding for a holiday weekend when most of your in-town guests wish they could get out of town?




9.      Not Involving Your Better Half
It is 21st century. Wedding planning should be the domain of both people, not just one. I suggest setting aside a regular weekly meeting time to talk about new ideas, research that you've done, and set wedding-related goals for the next week.



10.  Losing Perspective
Don't forget what's really important to you. Don't get bogged down in so many details that you don't spend enough time on what's important. 

If something goes wrong, take a deep breaths and think about the big picture. Above all, keep your sense of humor!



Well, that's all for this post.If you got some to say, feel free to share it with us.

Studio B Hair and Beauty Academy


Established in1986, Studio B Hair & Beauty Academy first opened in Ipoh town as a humble team. 27 years ago, we started off by being involved in the entertainment industry, with a clientele of modeling, acting and voice talent companies. We gained our first hand experience in the ever changing industry by offering our services to them not only as hairstylists, but as their stylists as well, putting together creative ideas to fashion unique looks that surpass the hairstyling industry.

From that stepping stone, we have now expanded our team and salon to Cambodia. With bigger and better services to offer, we are ready to welcome a wider range of customers.



Our top team of stylists has undergone intensive quality training in Japan, London, Melbourne, Bangkok, Shanghai and America. Plus, we have amongst us a TIGI ambassador and the South East Asian champion for the Wella Trend Vision 2006. The founder of Studio B also happens to be the founder of the Kinta Hairdressers Association (KHA), the only association for hairdressers in the whole of Perak state.

With our impressive talents, we have gained priceless experience from workshops and achieved countless awards, from the simple haircut styles to hair colouring. Last but not least, the team spirit and amazing handwork by Studio B should not be underestimated because we have, arguably, the strongest team in the whole of Ipoh.


一九八六年," STUDIO B " 坐落于繁忙的怡保市中心。
本髮廊却能凭着其专业髮型服务界長达二十七年之久, 从八十年代至二千年, 我们都有很多滿意的作品,获奖无数.

从这个跳板,我们现在已经扩大了我们的業務代表团队在 " 柬埔寨 "提供更好的服务。

我们的设计师团队先后经历了前日本,伦敦,墨尔本,曼谷,上海和美国严格的质量培训。

另外,我们好榮譽成为 "TIGI大使" 和 " 威娜 "趋势展望2006年亚洲冠军。 Studio B 的创始人亦是霹靂州 “近打髮型師公會” 创办人.

这一切, 由此可見本髮廊的团队合作精神和惊人手工,在怡保是不可忽视的。

择日 wedding date


结婚是人生一大喜事,想必大家一定都想在好的日子举行这人生喜事吧。


根据华人传统文化,婚姻择日乃属于最基本的婚礼考量。囍满堂婚嫁顾问黄奕全在婚纱美容展,特别为大家讲述关于婚礼择日的必要性,供准新人参考。

黄奕全说,“婚礼择日是依据两人农历的生肖和时辰八字,以及双方父母的八字来对比黄历的吉日而选的,生肖是否相冲则是最基本的考量。最重要的择日在于订婚的日子,因为订婚才是宣布两人成为夫妻的日子。其次就是过大礼和华人结婚礼仪的日子。”

黄奕全说,选好日子只是锦上添花,并不是扭转乾坤,有了天时地利,也要看两人各方面的配合,生活才会美满快乐。


结婚择日不宜选太岁年、太岁月、太岁日

结婚择日有三大陷阱,第一,新人是年值太岁,不宜结婚;第二,新人或双方的父母是年冲太岁,也不宜结婚,两者当然以冲新人为最重要。第三,新人是年遇孤辰寡宿星,也不利婚嫁。


小贴士

1、选择润年润月
      如何挑选结婚吉日?华人对结婚吉日的挑选颇为看重,并且非常讲究润月润年之说,即每隔两、三年便会出现一个润年,即该年有两个立春,一个润月。择结婚吉日,最好在有润月的年份。

2
、避开三七九
      三吉日最好避免在农历的三月、七月和九月,因这三个月份分别适逢清明盂兰重公,均为传统的鬼节,不宜办喜事。而在月初圆的中秋节月份,即农历八月是最适合办婚礼的月份。

3
、避开三娘煞
      相传月老不为三娘牵红线,使她不能出嫁。基于报复心理,三娘喜与月老作对,专门破坏新人之喜事,故每月的三娘煞之日,即初三、初七、十三、十八、廿二及廿七,不宜结婚。

4
、嫁娶择日法
      婚姻嫁娶的择日原则是,以新娘方的出生日期为主的,并参考男方及其他人的出生日期,俗话说:子靠出生时,女靠行嫁年。所以若是把此原则颠倒或不顾,将会导致婚后的婚姻出现问题,甚至离婚;反之,则大吉利是。

5
、不选父母生辰
      在传统习惯中,父母生辰不应与结婚吉日相同,其实只是指父母生日的正日不宜嫁娶,在该月份内结婚却绝对适宜。

6
、真正婚嫁日
      如果你决定将注册与结婚仪式的日期分开,最好这两天都是择日行事。如要取舍的话,便应以进行迎亲及摆酒的传统礼仪当日为准,选在吉日举行,因为华人传统始终视这天为真正的结婚吉日。

7
、良辰吉日计法
      有些人认为还应该有更严格的良辰吉时计算方法,即用男、女双方的出生日期时间推算出最吉利的婚嫁时日。不过这种做法相当繁琐,更多人宁愿去看黄历选日子,或听研究周易之人的建议。

8
、要考虑双方工作、学习的实际
      如果一方正在业余时间读书,应避开紧张的复习考试日期;如果一方正夜以继日地投身于单位的重大技术攻关项目,对方就要耐心地等待一段时间,待得捷报传来之时再择结婚吉日

9
、要考虑双方家庭的实际
      选择吉日,需兼顾双方老人和亲朋好友都有时间参加,都能目睹喜庆和谐的场面。

10
、要考虑双方的身体状况
      如果一方身体暂时不适,或者生病,最好不要急于安排婚事,而要及时诊治,恢复健康再作商议。否则可能会影响新生活的和谐,也容易加重身体的病情。结婚日期要避开女方的月经期,女方不能羞于启齿。选"吉日"时,男方要特别注意倾听女方的意见。

11
、将婚期和节假日统一
      如果婚期与节假日统一,或许是明智之举。这样做的好处是:有纪念意义;新婚披上节日盛装,增添情趣;亲朋好友有时间参加婚礼,气氛热烈,并且款待亲朋与家中过节合而为一,既节省又喜庆,但是假期结婚的新人比较多,要注意提前预定酒店和车队等。

12
、好日子的定义
      不管怎样,对于好日子的定义总是各有不同,不管选择什么日子,尽量选择那些大家都满意的日子才是上好之选。

当然,不管你与你的另一半的八字如何,请记得人与人的良好相处才是婚姻的基本喔。

Tips for Seaside Wedding 沙滩婚礼小贴士

沙滩婚礼小贴士之时间安排

  沙滩婚礼小贴士有哪些?
虽然没有人可以保证那天一定是个好天气,但是你可以先研究一下海滩的四季天气变化情形,选择风和日丽的日子来举办海滩婚礼。选定日期:首先,联络一下当地的亲朋或者登陆网络上的天气频道,找出这样一个月份:每天的天气都非常温和。然后根据传统风俗,在这个月里选定一个宜结婚的好日子。

  婚礼当天时间表:根据一天当中海岸的风力变化和日照时间长短,有计划地部署婚礼,制定你的婚礼时间表。

  首先,选择风小的时候,交换誓言。如果海风过于猛烈,就要用一个漂亮的纱幕挡在后面作为屏障。其次,尽量避开日光强烈的中午时间而选择光线比较柔和的日落时分举行仪式,这样才能拍摄出效果比较好的海景仪式照片。最后,还要特别注意一下潮汐的涨落规律,一定要知道一般在什么时候会发生潮涌,避免潮水冲走沙滩上的物品。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之季节与地点

  一般说来,沙滩婚礼不适合在太低或太高的温度下举行,如果你们没有游泳或戏水的安排,那么春天和初秋都比较适合,那时气候比较稳定,阳光也好,如果你们希望安排一场浪漫的水中故事,那么初夏,比如6月份,就是很好的时机,太阳不会太毒,晒得大家昏昏欲睡。

  如果条件允许,不妨选择热带或者亚热带的海滩,那里风光宜人,而且气候更为温润,昼夜温差不到,可以全天狂欢。在婚礼中加入一些有趣的堆沙堡比赛或是沙滩排球能更好的增强现场的互动性及调动来宾情绪。一般的海滩婚礼是三个小时到五个小时,当然也完全可以根据您和朋友的兴趣延长,延长几个小时或者是一个整天都无所谓,只要高兴就好。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之承办人

  沙滩婚礼要筹备的事情很多,比如桌椅,餐具,食品,舞台,灯光等,有点麻烦,最好是找个临海的宾馆或酒店为你们打理一切,这样可以省去很多麻烦,当然,了要是你们有座海边别墅,又是狂热的DIY爱好者的话,一切又另当别论。 经常采用自助婚宴形式的海滩婚礼,往往容易引起年老客人的疲劳及小孩们的意外伤害,所以切记在婚宴区内为他们配备一名服务生,并准备好休息区域。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之活动安排


沙滩婚礼小贴士有哪些?比如,是不是需要来宾自带泳衣是否需要他们穿便于运动的休闲装等等,以免客人在活动中感到尴尬。最好在请柬上印上海星、贝壳等图案,让客人一看就知道这是一场浪漫的海滩婚礼,并开始为之期待。别忘了在婚礼蛋糕上装饰浪花、贝壳和海星的图案,或者干脆做成蓝色,将海洋婚礼的主题充分体现。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之服装

  从婚纱到棉布长裙,甚至是草裙和泳装,随你高兴一只要和婚礼整体气氛相符就好。 如果当天婚礼中有一些水上活动安排,请务必在请柬上注明活动项目,并明确告知来宾是否需要自带泳衣或穿便于运动的休闲装等,以免客人在活动中感到尴尬。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之食物

  沙滩婚礼上,无论你们是在露台或海边小餐馆中进餐,最好吃一些新鲜清淡的食物,自然,海鲜是免不了的,如:基围虾配柠檬萨白利昂、烤鱼配番茄酱。另外,要选一些当地的特色菜。此外,甜品可以选择热带水果或贝壳形状的巧克力。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之防护工作

  海滩的紫外线的辐射会很厉害,海风和海水会不同程度地损害皮肤和头发,在婚礼进行之前,别忘记事先使用品质高的防晒产品,在婚礼结束后做好皮肤和头发的保养与修护。海滩的紫外线的辐射很强,海风和海水都会不同程度地损害皮肤和头发,因此,爱美的新娘在婚礼进行之前,别忘记事先使用品质高的防晒产品,在婚礼结束后做好皮肤和头发的保养与修护,做好自身的防护工作。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之音乐

  沙滩婚礼小贴士有哪些?要告诉你所邀请的乐队,他们很可能需要同海风和浪潮做斗争,所以要带一些相应的设备。例如:长笛手或弦乐三重奏也许需要麦克风,提琴手或吉他手也许需要一台扩音机。但是在有些地方禁止使用此类设备,所以一定要事先安排好。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之交通安排

  路线:如果客人们由外地开车赶过来的话,一定要在请柬上给客人们一些提示,告诉他们几条行车路线。如果客人是当天由机场直接到达仪式现场,就要告诉他们由机场到海滩的最近路线,以防客人迷路,耽误参加仪式的时间。

  车位:在高峰季节,海滩会非常拥挤。如果婚礼举办地距离宾客们住的酒店很远,那么在海滩附近停车就会成为一件麻烦事,所以在选定日子之前一定要在海边预留车位。最好的办法是为宾客们提供往返班车。

  路标:如果婚礼举办地距离宾客们住的酒店很近,客人们可以步行过去的话,就要在往返路途上做一些路标。

沙滩婚礼小贴士之摄像师

  沙滩婚礼小贴士有哪些?一定要请一个专业的、高水准的、设备非常好的摄像师。因为即使很小的风力,也会对照片效果产生巨大的影响,最好是找到一个有着丰富的拍摄海滩婚礼经验的摄像师。
