(2016) 2016 brides


But traditionally i think only for teochew brides. If non-teochew bride request for 四点金 then groom's mother don't want give how?
Ya, traditionally is for teochew brides..
Some bride's parents didnt take 聘金, hence, groom side will give 四点金 in return. But also depend on them. See if they want to give anot. That's what I know.

Hi all BTB, I'm a zwedding May'16 bride :) now frantically trying to find a JP. No luck in that area, anyone with recommendations?
I'll be taking Francis Ng. Had checked with Lim Tze Beng and Chiang heng Liang but both of them are not available for my sept wedding.
 
Hi All~ This very blur btb would like to ask this very stupid q..
Which finger do you wear an engagement ring for females? I saw some ppl say left hand middle finger, some ring finger. Some even say right hand.. So super super blur now..
Asking cos my htb jus proposed last night and now we blur if we put on the right finger or not.. Might need to do some alteration for the ring if it is a diff finger..

Not a stupid question! I had the same question before. Haha. I mean there are a lot of ppl who wear either left or right hand. But I believe that it's traditionally on your left hand, 4th finger.

Some will wear on LH, 4th, and switch to right hand 4th finger when they get married because maybe wedding band can proposal ring stack not nice/too thick.

It's left hand, my friend's jp told her to wear it on left hand too. Cause traditional thinking will be 男左女右 ,i think that's the reason why your htb insist you wear on right hand. As left hand finger is the one that connects to heart, not right. Hope this clarify!

Hey, I was just wondering; does your venue charge you for plating and serving the wedding cakes? My hotel is charging $2.50++ per guest which I find rather pricey. : / Now I'm thinking of having cupcakes instead, but I really loves Cupplet's tiered cakes. Seems rather extravagant to incur almost extra $300 (I should have 100+ guests only) on top of what I'll be paying for the cake. >:[ Wish I could just cut and serve the cake myself, lol.
 
Hey BTB, I just signed my wedding package with 520 Library yesterday!

My friend used them and said that the service was good and the pictures I saw were very nice! So I arranged am appt with them.

They were very friendly and did not even try to hardsell us anything.

They were also very accommodating to our request to try on gowns (other studio only let me try 2 gown, 520 library took out 6 gowns for me without me asking and it's very rare cos I'm a UK18!) They also allowed us to visit their photo studio and their prices are super duper reasonable!

End of the day I signed up for :
-pre wedding photography,
-actual day photography (5 hours)
-actual day gowns

and I save more than $2k+ if I compare to the shops at tanjong pagar... Will updated here when I take my photos etc

Now I need to find a venue!

Hi papercupcakes! i'm thinking of signing with 520 library as well. Can you share your experience with them? Did they let you try the gowns before you signed up? Would appreciate if you can share your review. Thank you!

Hi I shortlisted 520 library and visited them before, service wise are very good, owners are experienced nice couple, nice photography (if you like casual type).

However, have dropped them due to limited gowns and also htb feel insecure since it's only 2 man show.

Price wise I would say the basic one are about the same as other bridal shop (2 dresses for pre wed + 1 casual). But if you include actual day photographer it wouldn't be cheaper than bridal shop.

I would suggest you make an appointment and go down to take a look see if you like the gowns and photographs. Hope this helps :)

You may pm me if you need more info!

Hello, any btb not have gatecrash?
My htb & I decide to opt out for gatecrash but we are still having brothers and sisters to help us with the evening event.
Any suggestions for morning activities other than gatecrash?

@mandylove We are not having gate crash too.. I was thinking to have a simple pre wedding breakfast at my place and then tea ceremony, hopefully this means we have more time for the AD location shoot before our dinner. Hope to spend more time mingling on the AD.

Any btb with other suggestions?

I'm also not having gatecrashing in the morning. I'm planning to have a later start to the day (so we can sleep more, lol). We might have a simple tea ceremony in the morning, and then proceed to the hotel to have lunch with both families before checking in at 2pm. I'm hoping that this will give us more time for photo shooting with the bridesmaids and groomsmen before having to focus on the preparation. Although, right now, I'm not sure if we should ask the groomsmen and bridesmaids to join us in the morning since there's nothing much going on then. Maybe I'll get them to come over at 2pm instead so the day won't be so tiring for them.

@mandylove We should be. Honestly, we have not decide how many we need/want? I was thinking keep it small, cos our ad is 11.11 (a Friday) so our friends most likely will need to take leaves.

For now, intention is 1 unless see another suitable one. Not easy to get a nice and comfy one

Try Anna Nucci from Italy. They have many nice wedding shoes and the price is decent. Very comfy too. I purchase their insole too, think $4 or $6. Even more comfortable. Located at Plaza Sing.

Thanks dear! :)



Yes I think I read about it somewhere in the forum. But their fb got a number of negative reviews, don't really dare to consider.



Thank you.
Will check them out! :)
Try Rico. Their price is very reasonable and you can try their gown. :)

I'm still looking for AD VG! Have looked through a few VG but none of their videos have caught my attention :( Plus mine is a luncheon, not too sure which VGs are good for luncheons.

And also looking for an emcee because currently can't think of any friends who is suitable haha.

Any recommendations?

Hi, can try ideally yours, mine is luncheon and I engaged them. Very passionate and friendly crew.

I also face the same problem for emcee
 
mine is not included therefore need opinion to pay for the trial not
I think it would be better to have trial cos the MUA may not know your preference in the type of hairstyle and makeup. And maybe u did tell her the style which u want but the style may not be suitable for u unless u try it out.

Mine is also a luncheon :) my top choice was actually Aaron.Wende, i love how emotive his videos are! but he was already booked for my AD (which is in Nov! and I asked a year in advance! haha), you could see if he's still available for your AD. If not, I went with Winson Ho Cinematography in the end as he's very good at capturing emotions and stringing a very cohesive story together :)
 
^5! When is your wedding? Mine is 5th November :)

So far I shopped these bridal shops: Digio bridal , Cang Ai wedding, The Louvre Bridal, The Gown Warehouse, White link.
Personally I love The gown warehouse but their photography is outsource to K weddings so in the end I confirmed mine with My dream Wedding (Tras Street)
as my htb love their photography and I did find some gowns that I like so I signed with them :)
High five my is also on 5/11/16.. Where u having your wedding ?? Lunch or dinner ??
