    Serta Mattress- Anybody?

    Hi Meepley, Not sure if you've bought your mattress yet, but I would like to recommend Bedding Saloon (I went to the sungei kadut outlet). They carry most brands like sealy, serta, slumberland, and I find their prices to be at least $200-300 cheaper. They are also more willing to throw in...

    Hi eltgal, That's wonderful news! I've decided to go with Lavish as well and this definitely reassures me. Did you have your tasting at Lavish's premises? That might explain why it tasted a lot better than jessica felt. Is your menu more western based or asian? How are the rest of your...

    Hi sarah, Costs will vary based on which caterer you book, and whether you book the terrace as well. Previously, I posted the link to rental rates at the top of this thread. You can take a look and compare the timing/rates.

    eltgal, Contacts for? Popcorn vendors and all? I remember a while back another bride was discussing an events guy who can supply bubble machines and what not. Maybe he has contacts for what you need. Try searching a few threads back. I think it would be very nice to do a completely...

    Hey eltgal, that's actually a good idea! Take your wedding completely out of the Singaporean box, so there is no basis for comparison by kaypoh relatives! At most they'll say it is "different" and "unique", and if you have a non-local husband they'll find it more acceptable. hehe

    eltgal, No need to sigh. It can be quite a headache making these decisions, but you just have to go with the best you can do based on what you know. As Michelle was saying, you can't please everyone as our taste buds are different, and there will be someone out there to criticise some aspect...

    Hi New, Were you on a free and easy trip? I'm planning to go to about 2 European countries too, but not sure which ones yet. Hi Seline and Eltgal, I have only tried Lavish's tea reception - not good. But I'm still more keen on them than other caterers, the higher end ones cos they're...

    Hi michelle, I really like the cupcake idea as well. Have you tasted it before? My concern is that it may look good but suffer taste-wise. eltgal, what about thep!nes? They seem to be the 'hot' choice for wedding cakes. I feel like I'm typing a bad word...heheh Baseball? Your hubby...

    Hi Seline, I think age is catching up with me, I'm getting long-winded nowadays! Should have been clearer in my description, Purplesage only falls within the 60+ buffet package. 15+ is for the cheaper lunch menus, and it doesn't include tables, linen and all that. I find it a bit tricky to...

    Hi mintee, No problem, I feel a need to offload all these thoughts I have swimming in my head anyway. =P Monetary difference depends on you and your fh. If you want minimal variety in terms of food, and you're not picky about taste and decoration, then buffet dinner packages can start from...

    Hi mintee, At the expense of seeming like a sad person who doesn't go out on Sundays, here you go! =P If you want round tables you need to get it through your caterer or food provider - whether they rent it to you at a separate charge, or it is included in your deal with them. If you want...

    Hi mintee, Rental of the river room is $2600 on a weekend, for full day/evening. The details of pricing and timing are here: http://www.nhb.gov.sg/ACM/AboutACM/RentalFacilities/ I think one of the previous brides managed to squeeze 18 tables, but probably at the expense of the stage, and...

    Hi Seline, The bunching of favours together seems like a good idea...but what if your favour is such a hit and everyone wants one? Might not look good / friends will whine if they don't get one. Hi eltgal, Hope you don't mean that we're funny as in 'weird'...=P Sometimes I do wonder if...

    Hi eltgal, Your favours sound very meaningful...and very complicated...haha unfortunately I don't have that much creativity and my guests are made up of many relatives who won't bother to follow instructions! (Singaporean bochupness) I wanted to get chocolates or sugared almonds and put...

    Hi ladies, The forum does seem to have quietened down...Maybe everyone is busy with work and wedding preparations. Anyway, do you think wedding favours are a must to have? Based on the weddings I've been to, some people leave the favours behind, and others (myself included) bring it home...

    Hi new, Can you share the details of your photographer? Name and price range? Does he charge extra for the journal album? Just realised that some can go up to 800+ just for the album! This will seriously stretch my budget. If it is not convenient to reveal here, maybe can send me a pm...

    Hi ladies, new and michelle, thanks for your well wishes! Now the next headache is to decide on a photographer...any recommendations? I prefer the photojournalistic style, and I'm considering the wedding journal type of album. But as usual...its all about keeping within the budget. Should I...

    Hi ladies, I brought all my "VIPs" to see ACM last saturday, and the concensus is we're good to go! Woo hoo! It feels wonderful to finally settle on a venue. I still remember the past few months of looking at hotel after hotel, and being disappointed by either its unsuitability, or different...

    Hi eltgal, I've only tried Lavish's tea reception. It wasn't nice, variety was poor and most things were fried and oily. But when I read Lavish's thread, brides who used them for wedding receptions generally had positive feedback. And I've heard their set-up is nicer compared to Rasel's. Then...
