Pink Plant and Blue Bridal Book

It's been more than a month and our pink plant, an engagement gift from Mona, is still alive!!! woohoo. unbelieveable.


It's even got new shoots and buds.

We've also received a great gift from one of my best friends (Huiling). She sent me "A Bride's Book" by Marsha Heckman.



It has all sorts of "to do" lists and the time scale to do it in, a calendar, sections to write in names of caterers, printers, florists, etc. Fantastic!

I've been looking for something like this and this has come at a great time. It's very American/Western wedding inspired, of course; so i won't be using some of the categories but it is very well organised and useful for all brides to be. I'll update next year on the usefulness of it. Oh, it even has pockets for you to put clippings of pictures (gowns, bouquets, etc) that you like. brilliant!
