Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

A friend of mine is getting married next summer and has chosen a garden wedding for her theme. I believe it is going to be an exciting occasion as she is also designing her own gown.

Her indie talents have taken her far. Besides busy with her own garden wedding gown, she will be organizing the entire wedding from scratch with the help of few good friends in the indie circle. She is also working on losing a few pounds prior to her wedding so is trying out a diet supplement apart from heading to the gym three times a week.

I can expect her to work on her own indie invitations since she’s a creative person at heart. I am hoping to snap some shots for her garden wedding and hopefully play a part in her wedding planning.

Lately, I have been busy preparing for my upcoming wedding websites. While designing a wedding website is exciting and fun, I have been thinking of ways to make my wedding website stand out from the rest. It is a very competitive industry, they say.

One of my desire is to see if I can tie up with indie jewelry designers or bridal gift designers to design a nice collection of wedding gifts and bridal jewelry, to be sold exclusively at my wedding website. I admire indie designers and artisan gifts and would love to promote them if given the opportunity. The key to this success is the research and time to find the right partners.

While I continue to planning for the launch of my wedding website, I am planning for Disney cruises for our little boy in our upcoming vacation. Friday is coming, I’ll be off to Singapore again

Solo travel is growing in popularity among the adventurous travelers, indie travelers, backpackers among yuppie group these days. What’s cool about indie travel for some is that they get to meet new friends and they can enjoy the freedom of space during their travel encounters.

There are many ways to travel indie or solo. The lower end of backpacking is revered by those who are not afraid to mingle and mix around with new faces. While you can travel higher class by choosing all inclusive discount vacation packages in exclusive resorts too. Though you may be the odd ball since these are popular destination weddings options for wedding couples but nevertheless, you can still book an all-inclusive and enjoy all the perks in a package. It is true that wedding couples are choosing honeymoon all inclusive resort for their honeymoon so that they can pamper themselves and not worry about signing off a big credit card bill at the end of the vacation!

Planning for a wedding is an exciting and fun experience. For most brides, they will spend lots of time and money of their physical beauty. So months before the wedding, it is likely that the bride to be will be making sure that she’s using the right skin care and beauty care products so that she won’t have any acne problems to begin with.

Personal beauty care is foremost as the bride prepares herself for the big day. Then comes the real wedding planning of the ceremony, reception, venue, guests list and details. If possible, a wedding coordinator is necessary to ensure that the wedding planning is smooth and memorable but some wedding couples prefer to DIY. Shopping for wedding dresses, wedding accessories, wedding jewelry, wedding favors, wedding flowers, wedding cakes…etc can be very fun if you plan early and gather all your wedding resources from the web. You can search from a whole list of wedding shopping guide online and choose your wedding themes and products at your convenience.

I’m so glad that even wedding gown can go ‘green’ and this is definitely good news for the eco-conscious individuals which are doing their bit to save the earth and supporting eco standards. Deborah Lindquist is known for her environmentally conscious clothing and she’s definitely not an unfamiliar among the celebrities and eco fashionistas.
