Qtn here: Any one know the how and where of getting a Justice of Peace?
I intend to hold solemnisation out of ROM, at the dinner venue. So do I source for JP myself before registering date at the ROM?
Pls help.... many thanks!

Hi Mo,
Mine is at Orchard Parade Hotel - Club Chinois. We haven't worked out the details of the actual day programme yet - altho' my married frens hv given me their itinery template and I juz need to adjust from there!
What music are you using? I like Only Time by Enya, Canon in D and my fren recommended The Enchanted Garden which is quite nice too.
Gng to relax and take it easy....

u may like to refer to the Paris Thread. but wld advise u to go shop shop and look around at other boutiques before deciding on 1. everyone will hv FOC stuff, but u must decide whether u like their gowns, their photography or whatsoever... impt thing is DO NOT sign up on 1st visit, even if they tell u only give u that offer that day. dun worry, u'll find another who can match their offer.
then, after u've done ur "window shopping", come in here and browse thru the threads on the various boutiques and get comments b4 u actually sign up. brides here are very kind pple, they'll definitely advise/help u.

Angelia,
do come down and join us if u r able to make it....can show u my gowns....
Irene,
My make up artist is Ann....
Angeline,
Did Jennifer give u a rough estimation of when
yr gown will be completed?
i'm also having sore throat....
mee very excited...how about u?
Candy,
I agree with Angelia that u should shop around before settling on a package. The most important thing is that u must be comfortable with the package u select.
Also look at their gowns, portfolios, and speak to their coordinators, list down questions to ask them.
I'm a Paris Bride and am so far quite happy with my coordinator Carmen and my gowns.... In fact quite a number of us r Paris Brides, i'm sure they will give u feedbacks too!

hi pinkapple,
never knew there was a fishermen's village in s'pore.... sounds fun
who's your photographer? the places you're going to seem pretty unique
facials.... do you think it's a must? was wondering about doing without, cos I hear that once you start, got to keep going regularly....

Hi Cafinia,
Are you holding your banquet at a hotel? If you are, the hotel co-ordinator will actually advice you when you should go collect your cards etc. Mine is also on teh 15th Sept. My co-ordinator just called me up on Monday to ask me to arrange for a time to go collect my invites. After that, I will send them for printing. We will most likely send out the invites at the beginning of August, before the start of the seventh lunar month
Hoping to arrange my food tasting on the last week of June. There is no hard and fast rule as to when all these things need to happen. Just plan as according to your schedule. Hope this helps

Hi Cafinia and Cowie
My dinner is also on the 15th...I just sent cards for printing on Wed and can collect them next week...took the chance to print ang baos as well, just for fun...my church invites (church is on the 14th) will be slightly later...in July after I come back from my trip to NY ...hoping to send out cards like Cowie in early August. There's no real hurry, but with all the little details to have to worry about, it's just good to get this aspect of the wedding out of the way! My food tasting is on July 7

Cafinia,
Give the hotel an estimate of the number of tables you will need. Based on that, the hotel will calculate 70% of the total number of estimated guests. Usually they will do some rounding up for you. If you find that you do not have enough in the end, you can always speak to your co-ordinator. Depending on the hotel, they may charge you for excess cards. But if you really need them, I guess you have no choice. Like my case, we are prepared to have to pay for some excess cards cos we need more than the 70% cos a lot of guests are individuals, not families.

Hey, anyone out there got a hairstylist just for hair? Is it common to have a hairstylist and another different person for makeup? I've been told that it is not a good idea to have long hair let down as it will be messy, but i look WEIRD with the concrete updo! anyone got any hair person to recommend and how much does it cost?
JenJen,
The other day when i went down for a fitting....
My hubby bought along the digital camera but was told that we r not allowed to take pictures.....
So i think i can't show u any pics till after i receive my photo shooting pics.....
Will try to ask about the fake eyelash and the ampoule.....

HI Jolene....I just had my photo shoot on Sat, and it was great fun....we started the makeup and all about 11, and the actual shooting close about 1-ish I think....did the studio shots first, and then went out at 4.30 to 4 locations, and ended about 8.15...was really exhausted by the end of the night.....but really looking forward to getting the photos! which studio was yours done at?
