ROM & Our Michael Trio Wedding Bands

I've disappeared from my blog for a while, and all for a good reason, I was blissfully enjoying my post-wedding high (whoop whoop, no more diet hehe!) and also mini-honeymoon in awesome Taiwan!!

Being a Mrs is a pretty special feeling, I feel like I've officially "moved on" to a different stage of my life, though it still feels strange to refer to YZ as my husband and even stranger to say "Oh yes, I'm married!" to strangers and acquaintances when it comes up in casual conversation. Wonder if all you newly-weds feel the same way too?

We held our ROM ceremony on the day of our wedding banquet, just before the dinner itself. Here's the beautiful ROM set-up created by MerryLove Weddings! I was holding back tears when I walked down the aisle hand in hand with Daddy :( I'm not sure if all brides feel the same way, but I know I was feeling extremely emotional and happy at the same time. To be marching in on the arm of the man who brought me up is such a bittersweet and proud feeling. (If you haven't watched our wedding video, here it is on Vimeo!)

On another note, I'd like to strongly recommend our Justice of Peace, Mr Simon Sim. He was superb! Extremely patient and nice, and he spoke so well and articulately, yet kept it short and sweet.

In many ways, it was my dream wedding and I couldn't have asked for better, really. It was the best day of my life :')

Most importantly, finally marrying the man that I'll be loving for the rest of our lives together. Recounting the day of our wedding and some of our happiest moments, like exchanging our wedding vows and our wedding bands!

The wedding bands are a symbol of our life-long commitment and a dedication of love, so they are so significant and precious to both of us.

His super 得意 look of accomplishment!

Previously, I blogged about our first visit to Michael Trio and our first look at wedding bands, which was really a very good experience with impeccable customer service by Jadon, who patiently assisted and guided us in our search for the perfect pair of wedding bands!




It usually takes 4-6 weeks for the rings to be ready once you've confirmed on your design, and we were thrilled when Michael Trio called to inform us that the rings were ready for collection, two weeks before our actual wedding day.

We'd finally decided on this simple but ultra unique design that's matte with a rose gold rim and tiny stud details that makes it unconventional and different from the usual diamond-studded wedding band, and we love the bands to bits!

Of course, you can modify and customise your rings to your liking, which is a totally fuss-free process at Michael Trio. We were already very happy with the design of the bands, so we stuck to the original design and kept the rings as they were.

Our rings are also engraved on the inside, with our initials and our wedding date! It's just an extra service that Michael Trio provides and you can even pick from a huge selection of fonts for the engraving.

PS. This ring pillow was provided by Michael Trio too! I was wondering about where to get a ring pillow from, but realised that we didn't need one after all since Michael Trio gave a ring pillow together with the rings when we collected them :) Super awesome!

Coincidentally, our good friends, Alfred and Kewei, also just got married, and got their wedding bands done at Michael Trio too! We met up for a celebratory lunch after our weddings!

Here's a shot of all wedding bands from Michael Trio. Much love! We're all super happy with our wedding bands!

Still on that post-wedding high, even one month after our wedding day! I hope this feeling lasts longer!! I know how incredibly blessed I am to be married to this wonderful man who gives me his all. It feels unreal to be at this stage of my life right now, but I'm truly content with life.

Choosing our wedding bands at Michael Trio

Hello my dear friends!

Hopefully no one is tired of reading about wedding updates yet! It's been really exciting this month, and we managed to get another to-do list struck off my wedding checklist, and something really important and significant too.. our wedding bands!

Don't get confused, I don't mean the live band at the wedding, but the rings that we're going to be putting on each other when we exchange our vows on January 1st, and thereafter be wearing for the rest of our lifetimes :')

After some shopping around, YZ and I finally decided on a well-known jewelry shop: Michael Trio. It was with much anticipation and excitement that we stepped into Michael Trio's showroom at Tanjong Pagar to find out what Michael Trio has to offer.

Looking at the sheer amount of designs available can be quite overwhelming, so here's my advice for you: Be patient, and get both your HTB and yourself to try on the different ring designs to find out what you like the most!

To be honest, I stepped into Michael Trio without doing any prior research on wedding band designs and had completely no idea what I would like. All I knew is that I wanted the simplest wedding band that's modest and not too fancy.

Thankfully, Michael Trio has got a HUGE selection of wedding bands! Price wise, their rings are very reasonably set too. (Depends mostly on the weight of the gold as well as the number of diamonds in the setting!)

We decided to just randomly pick out a few promising looking ones to try on to see how they look on us..

The very friendly and knowledgeable staff at Michael Trio recommended us to try this classic setting with a row of little sparkly diamonds. Mmmm pretty, but I thought I'd prefer something even simpler with less bling!

Michael-Trio-5
Looks not too bad huh?

But right after that, my eye fell upon this absolutely BEAUTIFUL design and I was sold even before trying it on!

This set of beautiful rings in a lovely matte finish and with a rim of rose gold.
My favourite part is the subtle embossed studs that encircle each ring, with one sparkly diamond for the lady's!

Just to see how the wedding band would look stacked up with my engagement ring as well... :D I love it! It's such an understated design but still so unique.

I like how the male version of the same design is thicker and more manly, but YZ thought it felt a little too thin on his finger.

Fortunately, Michael Trio offers customisation and modification services at no extra cost, and so we decided to tweak the male version of the ring design that we picked, to make it double tiered so that it's thicker but still retains the same design.

About two weeks later, Michael Trio sent us a 3D render of the modified designs that we were thinking of doing! Makes it a lot easier for us to visualise the final outcome!

What do you think? :D :D :D
Once we've confirmed on the final design, the actual ring will be made!

Michael-Trio-28
Whoop whoop!
YZ and I are really looking forward to seeing the final rings! :)

Apart from wedding bands, Michael Trio also offers engagement rings: all their diamonds are of the highest quality and come with certificates too! I browsed Michael Trio's website and I found it very cool and informative. You can actually create your own perfect engagement from the website in just three simple steps: Choosing first a diamond and then the setting, and the complete price will then be automatically calculated for you by the website! Go check it out!

Can't wait to share on the final products once we've all confirmed and ready-to-go with our ring designs! I officially feel almost married already teehee. Three month count-down begins now!

xoxo
