Still in the Korea hype, we went to Laneige Bridal Workshop on 25 July from 10 am – 4pm just to find out how the Koreans get hitched.
At the registration, I was greeted by Mingle from Blu Inc with a huge goodie bag containing lots of sample size Laneige products for men and women, and bridal magazines. The itinerary was korean cooking class, lunch, Korean marriage tradition, Tres Beau Momento - the wedding planner talk on preparation before marriage and lastly grooming by Laneige.
We got to do hands on practice for preparing hand roll and kimchi. Due to our humid weather, the kimchi is ready in within 3 days. And I successfully cut the handroll into pieces without crushing it after Renee rolled it together with pickles, egg, spinach and sausages.
According to the coordinator at Korea Plaza, in the modern Korean couple culture, the groom will buy a house and the bride will supply all the electrical appliances in the house. Hehm, if you ask me the Malaysian culture is too complicated coz we have too many ethnicity, all mixed up.
I didn’t pay much attention on the wedding planner talk as I couldn’t stand the winter-like air conditioning anymore.
Laneige skincare session is pretty interesting where they teaches how to take care of the skin 6 months before the big day with proper skin care regime (makeup remover – cleanser – toner – essence – serum – moisturiser – eye care), and weekly maintenance (hydrating mask, scrub and deep cleansing mask). Too bad, it was just briefly mentioned. Main focus is on the makeup but it wasn’t that great because from my experience, Korean girls on the street hardly put on makeup. The only thing is BB Cream, which is easily found in any drugstore and any korea brand cosmetics. Every time we enter a cosmetic shop and ask for ‘Korea No.1?’, the sales person will point us to the BB Cream shelf.
