Me! I'm an 8th June bride as well.
Well, my mum has been nagging me to buy some new clothing but I just don't want to buy clothes for the sake of buying becos I have to. I usually shop every now and then anyway. So I just brought whatever I have to my hubby's place. (I'm living with in-laws).
I will be collecting my WG, EG, teadress on the 6th June. My guo da li was over last week. Ate a lot of cake.

Ure in-laws are willing to put their friends outside the rest.. that's a compromise. Changing the wedding date is quite a hassle, you have to inform ure photog, the banquet, the bridal studio etc... and if you specifically chose that date frm the Chinese alamac, you will have to look for another auspicious date.
During the dinner u and ure hubby will go around every table, so if you feel ure "outside" guests may feel left out, no worries, u can make up by talking to them longer, whether they are enjoying themselves etc. Put those chatty guests together, so they won't feel bored. Get what I mean?
I have selected my photos last night. Whoa, spent almost 2 hrs doing the difficult chore. In the end, we selected 35 pictures, (we like mostly the outdr shots) and on top of that, my bridal boutique is giving us the bal 39 shots sans touch up. They are returning us the negatives for the 35 we have selected.
I am quite pleased with the photos... now I can't wait to get them. They told me we will get them in less than two months.

Oh! my full trial is on Sunday. Any tip on full trial?
nope, you dun need to do anything or prepare anything, just bring yourselves, and maybe for your man, you could bring along some ties and have him wear a long sleeve shirt for the trying of the suit...or yah, and bring your camera to take photos lah....have fun.....I'll be having my photo shoot one day before your trial then...

Hi Pinkapple,
Did you have to pay extra for the trial make-ups? My package only allows for 1 trial.
Hopefully can get it right the first time round.

Hi Ange,
When are u coming back? I don't have her name card w me now. my bf keeps everything.
I'll send to you asap. or if u can wait, I'll update u more after my foto session which is next week.
I did show them my gowns. 2 of them tie up with my bridal so I assume that they've seen my gown.
so Ange, what do u have to settle when u come back?

Kas,
I think the ROm's good enuff to decide lah. at least u've interacted with the artiste and know what he/she's like. and I think if u can communicate with her... then no prob. if she'll willing to meet your wants... n provided the wants suits u lah.
My artiste for my ROM was so horrible that she put this fear in me abt the bridal which I sign with at that time. eventually I drop that bridal after visiting them when it's closer to my wedding.

Hi Slavetolove,
yah. I had to pay for the extra trials.
for more pp, it only takes 1 trial. I dunno why I'm so ma-fan.
Kas,
what to look out for... erm... 1st thing I see is the equipment they use. brushes, sponge, etc. Those "local" ones are usually ok. went to one "Taiwanese-style" bridal's makkup artiste, not good at all... I mean... don't look clean.
I think it's mostly communication lah. whether u can communicate witht the artiste. whether she can interpret what you communicate to her well.
Hair: I heard some artiste do the hair really tight... so much that u'll feel the strain on your head. think that's no no oso. imagine u gonna wear that hair for a few hours.
n the hair spray too. some got this horrid smell that I can't stand. sorry. me v sensitive to smell

Hi Pinkapple,
Seems like you have very high standards. I wonder what your FH looks like. Must be very handsome.
I was thinking that I should go back for a long weekend to settle on the hotel, makeup artiste and actual day photography.
I haven't decided when. Do you think Aug / Sep is too late?
How long does each trial take?
Me also very particular about cleanliness, you think I can bring my own brush for them to use? Do you also check what kind/brands of makeup they are using?

Hi Crayon,
You are right, we love our photos
No worries, once we have gotten out hands on them
Figure it will be around 2 months before you guys get to see them.
Hi Tomyam,
The photos are of the normal album size, 12 x 15. Our pkg only offered 20 pic, anything above 20 we have to pay $80 (subject to GST 3%) The manager kinda figured our dilema as we were poring through all the photos, so offered to give us a better rate. In the end, we save $150.
What journalistic stlye? Can elaborate?

Thanks pinkapple! For me, i am more chin chai cos i don't put on thick make-up that frequently, so cant really tell what's good & what's not. Plus most of my frens said my rom make-up looks natural. I guess that should do. (^_^) I am too lazy a person to source around too much.
Angeline, Aug/Sept might be too late for the hotel booking. You might want to consider coming back earlier.

Hi Crayon,
Now I have to concentrate on our invites, waiting for quotation in fact. Then we have to look into wedding favours (more or less have decided on one, considering their price), this one, headache... seating arrangements. After that, should be ok...
I dun want to plan things last min... at least now there is still quite some time for us to play around with... I can relax a little, methinks..

Hi Lollipop
That's pretty expensive. So you got to pay additional $70/pc for 15 pcs. Is that right huh? My bridal boutique also charges $80/pc, but we managed to slash to ard $55 becos we took additional 60 pcs extras. I will get 2 albums, 1 storing the studio and 1 the outdoor.
By journalistic, I mean they will arrange the pics for you, maybe 2-in-1s, some 3-in-1s, some 4-in-1s, instead of all single blown up pictures.
hey lollipop, since you get the pics back, can scan and share with us?

my wedding is on the 8 dec...my first "discussion" with the bridal shop will be in August...still a long way to go...very interesting to hear about the experiences you gals have on your WG and EG designs...just wondering whether you get to try different WGs(especially those with different neck line) during the first session to see which type of design suits you...i'm worried that what i like do not look nice on me...
also sourcing for actual day wedding car...does anyone has a lobang...looking at Jaguar or something uncommon...

Hi Tam,
Welcome to the forum. Yes, you should definitely try as many WG as you want to get a better idea of what suits you. Of course you should have some idea of what you are looking for first so that you dun have to spend the whole day there and avoid boring your FH for too long (like what happened to me)

Hi Ange,
no lah. My std's not really high. n my bf's not handsome too.
a bit on the plump side.
eh.... Aug / Sep is mayb a bit late. esp for the hotels. if u want a weekN for ya wedding... u've gotta book early.
ermm.... each trial is abt 1hr.
I suppose u can bring ya own brushes... prob is. they use many kinds. I dun think u'll wanta get one whole range. besides, u dunno what kinda brushes they use.... they'll be more effective with their own brushes.
kas n Ange,
I didn't check what brand of makkup they use. cos like Kas, I dun use makkup that much. in fact I don't like to put on makkup. so didn't bother to check.
