Hi Angeline,
actually I was going to suggest, like kas did, for u get ya gown from HK. one fitting might not be enuff. with the $$ u use to fly down for the fitting, might as well buy the gown from HK. safer that way I think.
I haven't been to any of the hotels u mentioned but Hyatt looks good on the magazines. Mayb Onlooker'd like to comment on this?

Gemi and kas,
surprised that so many of the Dec brides are with Allure Charix.
Gemi, my EG is OTR. it was on the adv in Female magazine. the previous issue I think.
I just went down to take a look cos I quite like those I saw in the magz. then this one fitted me like a glove so I decided on it.
I think I agree with u that their EG are quite elaborate... still got time for u. hope u can find one u like. otherwise, MTM like what u said.
Kas,
so are u upset with them now? have u started on the design for ya EG and WG?

HI guys,
I have been looking around at the websites of some Hong Kong Bridal boutiques. The style of the gowns that they have here are very 'Taiwanese'. I am looking for something chic, classic, timeless. I am worried the local designers might not totally understand what I am looking for. I hear alot about Bridal Veil. Are they good?

Hi all,
Time for my contribution..hee..hhee cos I'm also a dec bride. So far I've only booked a place for my banquet. Still looking for bridal boutique. Been to silhouette and flamingo but ...will source for more.
Hi angeline,
You in HK?? Great place.. I always tell my friends that I love HK than S'pore. Some say I'm crazy cos HK is so packed but I LIKE! I'm going in June again.
Glad Dec brides are "talking" again!!

Hi Fish,
Yes HK is a great place to be (when you are still young). More happening than SGP. But as one grows older SGP's pace may be better fit. June's a good time to come. End June better, plenty of sale. Remember to look for your wedding shoes here, plenty of choice.
Pinkapple,
no actually no need to hold the wedding in HK. His parents more 'chin chye' than mine. Just a family dinner here in enough. Just bought an apt and finished the renovations, the hole in the pocket so big, no more pocket left. Hee.

Hi,
good idea angelene, will go HK to check out shoes.
I've been scouting around for gowns, went to
silhoette, flamingo, ivory aisle, inspirations. So far, I quite like ivory aisle especially if you plan to save money by getting of the rack. Their OTR gowns are so brand new and beautiful.
Good luck gals..

Hi SSL, hope you won't mind me giving an update of my guo li day here.
Well, for a start... my FMIL never come. Just my FH, my SIL and their auntie. Asked him about it, he answered it's just another rule. *???*
Anyway, they came with lots of things. My mum returned most part of it, I think. Oh yes, for the very first time, I saw the jewellery my FMIL bought for me. It's a diamond set. Before you start saying "Wah! So good of her!", just want to say that this set is not something which I would buy and wear loh... Not that it is not nice, just not to my taste and liking. But my mum thinks it looked great. Hah... generation gap in taste.
Anyway, was appreciative of my FMIL's thought lah, coz I have been looking around for something to go with my WG. Though I bought a costume jewellery set already, think will have to wear the diamond set in the morning. everyone has been bugging me to do that...
I finally tasted the Choz cakes too. It's real nice and yummy. Luckily, din make a bad choice. We started distributing the cakes from 3pm, ended around 7pm. We sent out 2 teams to distribute - my dad and I, my uncle and my mum. It was tiring at the end of everything. But just glad to finish everything in one day.
My mum gave my FH's family some presents too... She wrapped one bath towel and one face towl with gift paper. The towels were sewn with a small round lead disc. One packet for each member of the family. To "connect" (jie2 yuan2) with them.
*phew* Just 2 weeks more to my wedding. Really can't bear to leave my room, and the little "rascal"... haha, u should know who i am talking about... now, headache about how to transport my stuff over to his house.

hi All,
Milk is good for skin and it consist of Hi-calcium. It is also consist of lots of vitamins.
Other than that, if you drink milk (warm preferred) 30 min before sleep, it'll ease u into slumber land.
coz when one is busy, one tends to lost sleep even though body is tired. Avoid coffee, Chocolate and cola and tea. These will keeps you awake.

Chemson,
Saw in the earlier threads that you are compiling details of all Sept brides for sharing. Here's mine :
Wedding date : 15 Sept
Banquet Venue : Mandarin
Bridal Shop : in Malaysia
Studio photographer : -
ActualDay Photographer : Looking around
So, u in Scotland now? Was hoping for the updated list from you. Can someone send me the latest compiled list? My e-mail address: [email protected]
Hi Happy98 and other brides who have taken their pics,
Can share your photos with me? My photoshoot will be next month and will be selecting my gowns soon, so doing my research now since my HTB doesn't seem interested in this stuff.
Thanks!

hi all,
this thread is really getting hot! Seems like we are all very well prepared for our big day
Pinkapple, I am surprised by Sil's behaviour. Frankly, there is a teeny weeny part of me that regreted not signing up with them as I am sure they will produce beautiful gowns and their service level will also be excellent.... Maybe in their own little ways, other bridal boutiques are also like dat? Take heart that whatever their service may be, am sure your gown will turn out to be beautiful as they would want free advertisement too
Have all of you booked your actual day photographer?? Seems like I am the worst. Have been reading the many topics in this forum (and seems like that is as much as I have done). Fish, care to share more of your experience with your female photographer??
Angeline, if you are taking off the rack gowns, you may like to conside Julia Weddings. Can't say too much of their MTM, but they do have some very nice OTR. Their EG selections is also overwhelming.... BUT, I have to warn you that they can be quite hard sell. So if you dun like what you see (not your personal preference) then, be firm and say no. BTW, I am thinking of going HKG in Aug... is it too late for the sale?? Hows the weather there? Will take your advice and look for shoes there...
Oh my, so lor soh...

Halo cynthia dear
of course me not mind lah. u did tell me at the other thread that u will post here mah.
My mum told me that distribute cake usually is bride side one. groom side no need to distribute cake. ??? anyway, is dsitributing cake(guo li) the same as "lupchai" (in cantonese)?? tot it's diff day and thats when groom side will bring goodies to bride side and bride mum will return most of it and take the remainder.
WHA diamond set!! chinchai lah, "ho ge bo" (like me)
no have cos MIL say wedding must have GOLD !!! diamond or white gold like not lucky. 
ok lor.
I also saw my sidianjin on sat when i went to hubby's house to show his mum the wedding card hotstamping effect that we are using.
It's gold but design quite trendy. got little heart shapes around the whole chain. got chain, bracelet, necklace, earring and ring. told my hubby to tell them me no ear hole to wear earrings but they still buy me!! haiz. abit old fashion hor.
anyway, have to wear one lah. like it or not at least to show them (and other guest) that your MIL got buy you something.
How does this Choz cakes look like? is it one whole piece or smaller pieces?? my mum told me must buy those pc by pc type. normally whole cake is for baby delivery. heehee buy nowadays cos of convenience we buy whole cake. incase it got messer by the time we distribute the last relative!!
So many traditions hor. didnt remember my mum gave my bro in law gifts?
Ya, u can always set aside a day to go home to stay. thats what my sis has been doing since she got married. she will come to stay at our house every sunday. eat dinner too.
so probably in future i will do the same so that it will be our little reunion every sunday lor.
btw, do u need a special timing for the guo li??

Hi SSL,
Yah... Distribution of cake is for the bride side. Groom side no need, unless they want loh... Er.. actually supposed to be 2 diff days, but we worry cake will spoil mah (no preservative added), so we did everything in one day
I supposed you are right about showing off what my FMIL bought for me. At least better than what my sis received from her MIL. She told me that although she went along, her opinions fell into deaf ears. She got a big round thick pendant ;p
Choz has only one type of round cake - marble cake. We got those small pcs ones... 12 pcs in a box. It shouldn't be too messy if you carry it properly and upright. A couple of boxes were messy when they came to my house coz my FH sped all the way to my house. He came rather late...
Special timing for the guo li?? yes, just read off those daily calendar loh... written inside which shi2 chen2 (2 hour time slot) is good, okay and bad.

Hi Slave-to-Love,
Just seen your Posting, ... and I was wondering have you heard that fantastic Song - "Slave to Love" by Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music) before ? ...
( Should also try "Avalon", More than This", and "Don't Stop the Dance" by Brayn Ferry + Roxy Music ... )
When i saw your pen-name, it reminds me of this 80's song, that brings back many good feelings & memories.
Well ... Good luck in your Photographer hunt !

Hi June02Bride and all June brides,
Hee, my guo da li is this Saturday too!
Yea, I also find it funny that my MIL not coming along cos since my hubby is still not back yet. Anyway she say she will send another relative over wor. Probably it's tradition.
As for the si dian jin, I went with my MIL to make the selection, got something I like, white gold diamond ones. My mum also bought me jewellery leh but on the actual day, when do you all think I should wear the set that she bought? Was thinking of wearing it before I come back home for tea-ceremony.
Was packing my clothes yesterday to bring over after guo da li. Really quite a chore cos I didn't realise I own so many clothes. My sister and mum are pushing me to pack so they'll have extra space.
At the same time, also feel a bit sad that I'm leaving home, going to miss home cos it'll never be the same again.
