Now I have another problem. Got 1-2 Muslim friends as well. The hotel will charge me extra for each pax. Meaning, on top of the table that I'm already paying, I will need to pay for 2 more pax, even though they are all sitting at the same table. Alternatively, I have to find enough muslim friends to make another table or so.
Hi Pinky,
Got your pics. You gown is very nice...wah so sexy. Wish I have nice back to wear also. So it's going to be a bustier right, not a spaghetti. THink you'll look great.

Hi Carol & Sparks,
Glad to have this July Brides thread...we are all in the same shoes at the same time, so can understand one another's frustration and stress.
What's worse is that I got my keys last week, so was a bit stress abt reno...then we decided that reno should wait. Now I'm more relieved and getting back the excitement of wedding planning.
Yah...the guest list is a headache. Thankfully, my PILs are very efficient people, they've finished sending out all the cards even before I finished writing mine...hahaha. Now all of us have finished writing, just doing the delivery part. It's also a great time to catch up with friends
Well...hope u gals continue to enjoy the process, won't be too long before all this is over. When are your weddings? Mine is on the 6 & 7th...am I the first July bride here??? Well...if I am, then after the wedding, I will try to come back here and share whatever tips I have
Take care...and don't neglect your beauty and health in the midst of all this madness...haha

Cannot leh..checked already. Must be halal food. Even if I don't order pork or anything, still cannot. The food needs to be prepared halal.
We am planning to spend at least $16k for this wedding, excluding the honeymoon. The sum includes the bridal gown package, and tables that we are planning to give my mum's side. We are paying ourselves. What about the rest of you?

Welcome Aclim. How come your photoshoot is so early? I'm having mine only in Oct
Re, earlier posting.
Sorry, I din make myself clear earlier. Actually I wanted to ask usually what is a safe budget to have. Currently, we think about $15k or so, to play safe, including the possible loss at the banquet. Not sure if it is enough. We don't dare to plan for honeymoon yet, in case we run out of cash. any suggestion?

Hi ac,
welcome!
You want modern, avant garde feel or the nature type?
If outdoor, can go to sentosa... there's the big tree where MediaCorp use as filming location.
Labrador Park has very nice foliage, the beach, the Botanics... if well taken, the scene can look very 'unlocal' in a nice way!

Hi pinkapple, gemi and twinkle
Thanks for welcoming me
Gemi, how come your photoshoot so late? Enuff time to get your album ? I decided to have it earlier so that i can have more free time to do my renovation and other stuffs lor.
Twinkle, i am also thinking of going sentosa. But besides the admission fee, do i have to pay extra if i want to take my photoshoot at those beaches or the big tree?

Actually I love Labrador Park, but seems like a lot of people have been there already. What about other parks with nice landscape. I was thinking of Japanese Garden the last time...seems like a forgotten place now. Haven't been there for a long long time..wonder if they have nice landscape like those in Japan? Or is it a deserted place now?
Hi Aclim, since my wedding is end of Dec, should have enuf time to get my album.
Hi Aclim, since my wedding is end of Dec, should have enuf time to get my album.
which actual day photographers have u gals engaged?
I've shortlisted the following:
1. Hilarion Goh (becos he's avilable and recommended by fren but not impressed by his website's portfolio and don't like the way he always bring up Zoe Tay and Ms Spore pageant)
2. Monica Eng (Strongly recommended by fren too and seems like she's into the style that i want - happy, candid! Also, she's available
3. Robin (Seen his actual album at some bridal boutiques)
Ok... but i've not met up with them yet to get a feel of their working style and personality nor seen their actual work (Hil Goh & Monica)...
So the search is still on.
Other photographers I'm keen on but not available:
- Choon Huat www.fspphotos.com 96967282
- Andrew Tay from The Edge 6741 7318 96867894
- Albert Chua from Everafter 90125902

Hi Crayon,
Nope, my photos are not priced at $80/pc. She gave us a slightly better price because we took 35 pic i/o 20. About 13% discount
I have confirmed certain points with the bridal studio. Here goes.
1) The negatives of the 35 which I have selected for my wedding album, will be returned to us.
2) All 74 pictures will be returned to us, either in loose copies or in mini albums
The above exclude the 4 poses meant for friends and families...
All in all, my pkg costs ard $4.2K
In about three weeks later, we will have another appt with them to decide on which photo to mount as a portrait, which one as a table top, and which one for the album cover. The wedding album will be ready in about 2 months to 2 and a half months time...
Sigh..

Hi sparks,
Me too, 'cos there are lots of guests which are my in-laws's relatives, therefore lots of names & address to get.... I'm also doing a lot of pushing.
Hi Mo,
My wedding is on 21st... I guess you are the 1st July bride here.... great to have you back after your wedding to share with us valuable experiences with us.
I'll be collecting my albums & portraits this week, getting more excited!
Cheers:
Carol

Hi All,
not here for 3 days due to PC breakdown.
Seems alots are happening.
Regarding the Paris bride thread.
I do think that PM will not really be in the wrong as there is one person (i forgot the ID) who wrote and say PM should address Sad in her problem via web instead of asking Sad to call Paris bride, make an arrangment with the supervisor and then go down to talk (suggested by PM).
Perhaps that's why Pm wrote all in the web even though it is private matter coz i do feel that that person who says that has the wording a bit harsh.
Even I also finds that it is better to talk privately with the shop rather than on the web.

Hi Kittycat,
Looks like you have done almost all... Great for you.

Hummm.... two weeks might be a bit rush if you have more guestd.

Hi pinkapple,
Yup, I'm a dec bride as well.... same as twinkle, on the 7th
Which date is yours?
I'm like you, haven't gone to get eyebrows etc done, not to mention facials .... Can't bear to spend so much $$ at one shot!!
I'll be going for 1st fit next week, starting to worry that the gowns won't turn out to be what I visualise in my mind

hi Kittycat...
Wow...that's great!!! We can also remind each other on the things to do and when to be done since our wedding is on the same day. So many things on my mind now I tend to forget too...
Hi Sparks,
I think 2 weeks is a li'l too short...well I guess it depends on your guest list too. For me, I have 600 dinner guests, so I will definitely have to RSVP early. A good RSVP is very important as it determines the exact number of tables u need. I had a friend who didn't do RSVP properly and ended up paying for 2 tables that had no guests...so wasted.
hi carol,
wah...so fast??? I have yet to hear from my photographer
wonder when I can get my album.
Nevertheless, really happy for you

Hi, all,
Actually has booked Sandy as my actual day make-up artist and called her to check when can I have trial make up last evening. Unfortunately, she told me she told me she can't it on my wedding day due to some personal problem. She asked me to get another make up artist
, luckily, I called her early, or else don know where to get another good one.
Can u all advise another one more good and reliable make up artist for me. I very lazy to go thru the tread

Hi guys,
I confirmed with frens as to whether they can attend my wedding before even sending out the cards to them. So it's like doing the rsvp, except it's the reverse! Save cards too! Coz I know that as the wedding date draws near, there'll be too many nitty gritty things to deal with... and handling too many rsvp at that time will be a headache.
Mo: I can't think of anything else to do at this point apart from the guest list and choosing music. But wow! You've got 600 guests! You're going to be very busy that nite taking photos. I've got 30 tables. Where's your dinner held at?
