Summer Bride? HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong Helps You Choose The Perfect Gown


For brides-to-be who love the sun, sand and sea, getting married during summer is, more often than not, a given. It is the perfect season to exchange “I do’s” in the outdoors - be it a beach wedding or a garden wedding. Summer brides will also love the weather and the fact that they will have the option to wear nice wedding gowns made of light fabric.

If you’re a summer bride, HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong has the following quick tips for you on how to choose the perfect bridal gown:

1. Buy a summer wedding gown that is made of the right fabric. If you’re getting hitched at the beach, for instance, go for a wedding dress that’s made of light silk, cotton eyelet or organza. You can also go for a wedding gown that clings to your body and highlights your curves but still makes you feel comfortable and lets you move freely. Try this David Fielden bridal dress that’s available at HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong:

2. Try to avoid buying long wedding dresses that have flowing trains. This might not be an appropriate one to wear especially during beach weddings. Instead, focus on wedding gowns that are of floor length.

3. Go for designer wedding gowns. This is, after all, your big special day! You deserve only the best. This Rivini creation below, for instance, is perfect for an outdoor wedding. Fluid, sophisticated and with lovely, tasteful details, your wedding guests can’t help but say their “oohs” and “aahs” when they see you in this:

HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong Shares Tips To Capture Great Must-Take Wedding Photos



Photos are essential in all weddings. Nothing beats having special moments during a wedding, especially spontaneous or candid ones, captured on film. Wedding photos will serve as lovely mementos of that one beautiful day full of love and hope. Still, there are certain wedding photos that can be considered “must-take.” These are photos that absolutely every wedding album should have. How can you be sure though that these must-take wedding photos turn out to be great?

Here are a few tips from your friends over at HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong, the best one-stop Hong Kong bridal shop:

1. Keep all wedding details in check and within reach. These include the rings, your shoes, your significant other’s tux or suit or perhaps a favorite watch, the wedding cord and veil, among others. Keeping them within reach is important because your wedding photographer would need to document them and may even use them for artistic takes.

2. If your family and your partner’s loved ones are staying in the same hotel where you need to be prepped up, make sure that they are all dressed, made up and ready at least two hours before you all proceed to the wedding venue. This is to ensure that your wedding photographer can take proper photos of them with you and other members of the entourage.

3. Get a jovial wedding reception host. This person need not be a professional host. As long as he or she can carry a crowd and make you and your guests feel at ease, then that’s what matters. Your wedding photographer can then capture nice candid shots of your guests’ reactions, laughter and smiles.

All in all, however, the most important tip of all is - remember that this is your special day. You have all the right to enjoy and have fun to your heart’s content!

TREATMENT ACTION CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH AFRICA FIGHTS FOR ACCESS TO TREATMENT NOW: FIX THE PATENT LAWS!




The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) is based in South Africa and advocates for increased access to treatment, care and support services for people living with HIV and organizes campaigns to reduce new HIV infections.    
The aim of TAC’s Fix the Patent Laws campaign is to put pressure on government to urgently amend its Intellectual Properties (IP) legislation (including both the Patents Act 57 of 1978 and Medicines and Related Substances Control Amendment Act of 1997) to fully adopt the flexibilities allowed under the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to protect public health. The TAC, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and SECTION27 have been campaigning to Fix the Patent Laws in South Africa since November 2011.

South Africa, a country with the largest number of people living with HIV in the world, a burgeoning TB epidemic, and other public health crises such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, has remarkably strict intellectual property restrictions. Currently South Africa grants an excessive number of pharmaceutical patents—more than most developed or developing countries— without examining applications to determine their validity. The current system allows companies to file patents for new uses of medicines, or make obvious minor improvements or modifications to a known drug, in order to gain a secondary patent on the existing compound. This is a process known as “ever-greening” that has become increasingly prolific in recent years. Excessive patenting delays the entry of affordable generic medicines to the market for extended periods of time. The current laws put the rights of the patent-holder before the rights of the people.


Throughout the campaign TAC has been working to build pressure on the government to urgently amend South Africa’s IP legislation, as well as build public knowledge of the problems with the existing laws. In September 2013, after five years of development, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) finally released the Draft National Policy on Intellectual Property (DNPIP) for public comment. Although lacking somewhat in substance and clarity, TAC publicly welcomed the DNPIP as it proposed several mechanisms to limit the negative impact of IP on public health. The TAC, together with MSF and SECTION27, developed a robust and detailed set of policy recommendations in order to improve the content of the DNPIP and inform the legislative drafting Is process. Through this campaign, TAC will continue to build pressure on the government to urgently adopt TRIPS flexibilities into national legislation and amend existing provisions to ensure they are practically feasible to implement, leading to improved access to affordable medicines, saving the lives of millions of people across South Africa.

TAC and partner organisation have been working extensively to educate the public on IP  issues through running public consultations and workshops on the DNPIP, as well as through various published materials like the Fix the Patent Laws Activist Guide.



If South Africa amended its patent system to include a substantive examination system fewer patents would be granted. Additionally, South Africa can use flexibilities allowed under TRIPS, including setting strict patentability standards and establishing a pre- and post-grant opposition mechanism, to ensure only true innovation is rewarded. This would lead to a drop in the cost of, and improved access to, medicines in both the public and private sectors. Furthermore, when legitimate patents result in medicines being priced out of reach, actions that mitigate high prices, such as compulsory licensing, must be practically feasible to implement to ensure accessibility.
