Thank you ladybimbs. These 2 temples hard to get availability. Any other temples have that capacity?
I think Saheli Bridal has lenghas and gowns for rental.Are there lengha rental shops here? I'm thinking of buying from Jinders. The ladies in my family love Jinders' collections and they seem more affordable than Stylemart.
Or I will Try to see if I can make a trip to India for the wedding shopping. Guess It's cheaper and nicer there. U have anything on mind?
When is the bridal mela?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and I'm so glad I came upon this after trawling the internet for a bit. Because this ROM is a small affair, I don't want to splurge too much; we're holding both church wedding in the US, and a hindu wedding back in Singapore in 2016. So I'm saving for that instead >.<" (already sweating thinking about the costs...) But now, I'm lost at where I can hold a small dinner like that without blowing a hole in my bank!
Has anyone held their ROM at Orchid Country Club's Gayatri Restaurant? I'm hoping someone can advise me if that is a good idea - since we're not looking for pomp right now. I also contacted Pandora, and they actually have some event halls/function rooms, too. So I hope I'll be able to settle the venue and deco at least. I'm freaking out a bit since it's in March and I haven't nailed down anything - I initially booked the venue at ROM itself (very smart, LOL) Now I'm scrambling to change that, since Gayatri's said they provide a simple desk for the Solemnization bit, and I thought...why not. I guess my other question/worry now is what do I wear. Is there such a thing as lengha rental at all? I still love the hindu culture, and hope I won't have to resort to a ROM dress. Does anyone know if there are places like that? I'll appreciate any bit of advise or help! Thank you so much
Hi Komathi ! maybe you can started with photographers/videographers after picking your wedding location ? After which you can pick out your MUA and then look for Deco. It is important for you to go for trials prior.
Just want to share that getting a MUA to handle all your events is way cheaper than engaging different MUAs for different events. Have you guys decided on your guest list?
Hi Vani, do check out my photography page on FB. I've done indian weddings.
Hope can be of help to U

Hi BTBs!
Fiance and I are planning for a late 2015 wedding (oct/nov/early dec) and are currently looking at auspicious dates. We have just started planning!!Unfortunately, it looks like the 2 temples we were looking to book are already booked solid til March 2016 (Perumal and South Bridge Mariamman).. does anyone know if there are available dates in other temples? Yishun Mariamman is our third option.
If we can't get these 2/3 temples, then we are looking to do our temple wedding in an outside location - i have read the thread and i see that SGCC and OCC are 2 options, alongside Sheraton, Ritz, Fairmont hotels. Chevrons too. Do you guys know any other options? I'm not a big fan of the spaces at Khalsa and CSC etc as they are quite cramped.
Any ideas on how to manage the traditional portion with the reception? I was thinking of having theatre seating (rows of chairs) for the traditional wedding in a smaller ballroom or smaller partition of the room, and then have the reception/buffet/food in the larger portion of the room with round tables so that the eating/food service does not disrupt the wedding proceedings. Do not want non-veg food in the traditional atmosphere as well - separating both will be easier to serve non-veg? Also the wedding hall tends to be quite "empty" cuz people come late for the muhurtham and leave early to eat.. so might as well make it a cosy ceremony with the near and dear, and have the rest for the reception after
Appreciate all ideas and plans and tips ladies! Good luck with all your planning!!

hi fiz
Hope you had a great wedding.My wedding is in May2015. did you get Ananthy's number. can somebody help me wht sunil's number? and any info on mehendhi artistes.
Hi, hope someone may advice me regarding 'lucky' or 'auspicious' numbers in local Indian culture.
Eg. For Chinese its 6 or 8...
I googled and the answer I found is supposedly 1,5,7..? Does this mean numbers like 21, 35, 37 are 'gd' numbers?
Thank you in advance...
Holiday Inn OCC allows tooHello ladies!
Just checking if any BTBs here know if there are any venues which allow the fire pot..?! Apart from temple halls, Ritz and Grassroots Club... It'll be very much appreciated! xx
Seems like half the Indian community is either engaging Studio A or Amore Productions. Lol. U have any others in mind?Hi there,
Any recommendations for weddig photography & videography.
Thanks for your reply! my fiancé and I actually love William Goh's work (Amore) but they aren't available on our wedding day. Was looking for something similar.Seems like half the Indian community is either engaging Studio A or Amore Productions. Lol. U have any others in mind?
Oohhh. They seem good on candid n fun poses. It will be ideal if u have big group bridesmaids n groomsmen or even a big family. I'm not so sure abt their prices tho. But if I'm not wrong they started out last year so might still be affordable.Thanks for your reply! my fiancé and I actually love William Goh's work (Amore) but they aren't available on our wedding day.

Hi Kendrick... this is from my own knowledge. The number '1' is quite auspicious - 11, 21, 101, etc, etc. But more importantly, for Indians, auspicious numbers vary for each person. Normally the date and time of birth is taken down to see which 'rasi' (star) you are and auspicious numbers are advised accordingly. Such info is normally gotten from temple priests.
Sure forward me their package details [email protected]I have their price list if ya ladies want..
Alright! Will check them out! Thank you so much. Though I still have about 8 months to go, I'm already freaking out. I'm stillOohhh. They seem good on candid n fun poses.
