Let us know! The arch looks really pretty in photos :)


I think her prices increased.. The rental for the exact arches on the photo is $400 each, artificial flowers.

For slight customization, there will be a top up of $80. For fully customized arch, will be startin from $600 for artificial flowers, and $800 onwards for fresh flowers..

@tulipkiss i am sure most of the florist are able to customise with the fairy lights for, just that you will need to top up. i think you can just send them an email with a photo of what you like, and ask them for a quote.. you are having an evening solemnization? or just that you are putting your arch in the ballroom? :)

i think if you are getting artificial flowers, it will be cheaper.. fresh flowers cost really expensive.. i have a few florists quoting me 1.5k up for their floral arch, so i guess for LeFairyMeadow, the price is very competitively..

What do we need to give if we want to calculate the actual wedding date?

Is it only the chinese birthdate for the bride and groom? Or we need other information as well?

Where can we go and get the dates? Is it those bugis street uncle outside the temple? Can advise? Thank you.
 
Hi BTBs!

I was wondering how early do we have to send out the invitation for banquet..

Also how many gowns were u all allowed to try when u visit the bridal studios? Heard frm my colleague she tried 3 at Yvonne creative but cuz the size doesn't fit, they offered a MTM at the same package price i.e no need to top up anything.. Bridal studios don't do alterations for OTR gowns?

Thanks in advance!

how much did everyone spend on the bridal package? I just signed up over the weekend at 3588 is it reasonable? everything included except AD photographer ..

I just signed up for mine at $5,888 (pre-wedding, AD including videographer and photographer). Didn't nego much so now quite worried although the coordinator did say they are quite flexible. Any comments on the price?
 
Hi guys!

I'm new here and just confirmed my AD venue! My AD will be on 24th December 2016!
I'm looking for AD photographer+Videographer and came across 12loves and their price is really cheap as they are having a promo now. Abit worried as the price is below $2k for both service. Anyone BTB here engaged them for their AD?

i'm doing pre wed in korea so only looking for AD!

Will look for bridal studio soon, love the gowns for digio and rico-a-mona, any BTB engaged them too? :)

Hello, I got my one white and one evening gown from rico. I think Rico's service is pretty good! I think I tried for damn long but they didn't make me feel uncomfortable or rush me.

The gowns I ended up choosing were really simple though, duno if it's a waste.

Hello, typically bridal studios do alterations for OTR gowns. it's inside the package price already.

But I guess if u cannot even fit in the gown, it's a huge risk. What if u don't like it even after it's altered to fit you? Didn't want to take the risk so I only chose gowns that already fit quite well with minimal alterations needed, though that definitely limited my choices.

I think I tried maybe 4 gowns at rico before signing.

To be honest I had a difficult time choosing esp the evening gown , maybe I am too picky. I felt all the gowns I tried were wow when I first went there (before signing) but not so when I was actually trying to choose.

Then again, I'm not very thin so some gowns like the very slim cut sleeveless type are not suitable (did see some girls try on those and they r really gorgeous), nor do I like princessy ball gowns.

That said, Im quite happy with my chosen gowns and did find a few I really liked. My chosen ones are really simple though so I feel it's abit wasted (gown rental places prob have the same design). But most importantly I think they are very flattering and make me look two sizes smaller haha!

Rico does have quite a wide range of diff types of white gowns, so best to go down to see and try esp if you already have some design in mind.

I found the evening gown range not great because I didn't want colours like yellow purple pink etc. which restricted my choices. initially wanted a red gown but didn't find one that I like (and could fit).

U will also need time of birth of the bride and groom.

Our fengshui master also asked for dates if birth of our parents or any impt ppl.

Usually people approach a reputable fengshui master. Duno if those who set up stalls outside temple are reliable.

3 years! Mine only gave 1 year.

I guess the 3 years are based on ba zhi and not the almanac?

We r still waiting for next years almanac to be published to get our dates next year.. heard somewhere that bazhi is more impt but my bf wants to factor in the almanac too.

yeah 3 years! Its only based on bazi that's sufficent for us already. I see, i think im too kiasu to book the venue so way ahead. I wanted AD to be on 5th November and i asked a few hotels for 5th november 2016 availbility but this date seem like a popular date as all is not available, so i had to change my AD date.

@lilfatcake, I think it can be done as long as there are 2 videographers present. While one edits the morning events, the other may start editing first. I've met up with cream pictures (they do both photo and video), beyond pictures and will be meeting rekord haus and allure weddings next week.

By the way, any BTBs heard of said & meant photography before? Their style seem to suit mine but it seems quite new with not much portfolio online... Will be meeting bloc Memoire next week too! I heard they are a very fun couple to work with. Any advice with the above 2 photographers is much appreciated! :)
 
Hi All, i'm looking for AD photographer and videographer that can add in the first march in. Any suggestions?

You can consider Alanmitchi. They can put in the 1st March in. If you are getting 1 vg and want the 1st March in added in.. you would need to pay an additional fee.. or else their 2vg package has a 1st March in it already.

But I'm sure there are a few more vgs who can do this 1st March in.

My AD also on 5 November 2016.. I started checking out the Venus in May this year.. Some of the hotel that I wanted initially had been booked

I'm not too sure whether I'm correct in my understanding..

The almanac though it gives you the good dates.. but it's generic.. doesn't specify the time which is auspicious as compared to the bazi..

Yup! Long shifu is very good. I also had mine done by him. Can use for house moving too!

i consulted master long too :) it's also convenient to have 3 years of dates available - for an chuan, guo dai li..etc.. and have alternative dates if hotels are not available as well.

Yeah. I just booked my hotel yesterday! My date is in may! I will be using long shifu's date for my house too. He also give additional tips like the personality of each other and how to accommodate one another.

@kinkedtail y dont you consult him then will be easier. Quite cheap $120 for 3 years worth of dates.

Hi All! I'm a 2016 BTB. We plan to have our dates settled around nov/dec. Can I check with you after you sms Long shifu your details, it will take how long to meet him? Eg. within days or 1 week?

It depends. He replied me after 4 days to say he already calculated our dates. His working hours is 10am to 6pm. So if you can only meet on weekends then it might be 1-2 weeks later :)
I went on a weekday so it didnt take me long. :)

iirc, he replied my htb within few minutes to acknowledge my request. then within 1-2 weeks, we went to meet him on a weekend afternoon.

Seems like Rico has quite good reviews! May I know how's ur package inclusions and price like? I'm heading down to check out the tanjong pagar stretch this weekend *excited* any bridal studios are "must-avoids"?

Actually went last week to silhouette the atelier. The gown selection doesn't seem a lot, but I like the first one I saw and tried though friends told me I should shop more and might find sth I like even more. And... Their package is quite expensive :(

I nv heard of them prior, but saw their banner on wedding scoop and contacted them for rates. Their style is quite similar to bloc memoire too. I didn't even meet up with bloc memoire cuz they are alr booked on my wedding day next year and I wanted the same photographer for pre wedding and AD

Thanks for your sharing, lovely brides !!

I saw alot wrote Long Shi Fu. Where can i get this Long Shi Fu contact details? How long beforehand do i need to contact him?

Also, the price SGD 120 covers for AD wedding date, An Chuan and Guo Da li?

I would like to ask if the Date of Birthday for the bride and groom together with parents i assumed would be Chinese Bithhdates?

Is An Chuan a must for all?
