I've had to direct a lot of my threads specifically towards you lovely asian brides....this is probably easier!

I had a total of 4 dresses. It was crazy changing the dresses and hair style all night long but I had a great time and the guests had a great time seeing all the dresses.

Changing hairstyles too? Crap... I didn't factor that.

First event: 4-5:00,
Second event 5:00 - 6:30
Reception 6:30...

Question: How should hair be done for a CheongSam?

they put it in a low bun for me when I went for the chinese 'engagement/wedding' photos. I can forward a picture if you would like to see it.

Hahahah..I know you!!!! hey Paula......I found you!

I had my hair up for the Qi Pao that I wore. I went with a more traditional look. I booked Eternal for my make up, Qi Pao and Photography/Videography. My make-up artist is really good and she matched the hair piece to the Qi Pao. If you need a make up artist, let me know because she also does free lance work.

i'm trying to keep this thread alive...

i'm buying a quipo for the chinese banquet and will have it handy for the reception just in case i decide i want to change into it. but i'll probably do it at the end of the reception, like the last hour or so. i don't plan on changing my hair though.

I went with different vendors. BTW - can anyone recommend a place where I can rent the paebak stuff? I don't know where to start.

I went with the package and booked most of my vendors through one place (Photographer, videographer, engagement - studio pictures, make up / hair for me, BMs, and mothers, limo and thank you cards).

Same with me..i'm just wearing it for the tea ceremony and maybe for the end of the reception.

Re: the other topic....I booked all my vendors separately...only because the ones I liked didn't have packages. That would probably be more convenient though...
