This was the most stunning dress I love in the exhibition, dress white silk satin sheath studded with pearl-embroidered transparent stars and insertions with soft silk tulle borders to the wide hem-length hanging sleeves, and an amazing 18-foot train scattered with satin applique and beaded stars, Norman Hartnell, 1933.
All exhibits are cased up and be mesmerised by wedding gowns from renowned designers such as Charles Frederick Worth, John Galliano, Vera Wang and Vivienne Westwood. The Wedding Dress also exhibits a range of wedding accessories such as hats, shoes, wreaths, veils and lingerie.Outside the exhibition hall, there were display of Western and traditional wedding costumes worn by Singapore women of different ethnic groups.

"Hours fly Flowers die.
New days, New ways,
Pass by. Love Stays

Time is Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love, Time is Not." ~ Henry Van Dyke
