Why r u collecting ur gown so early? its almost 7 days to ur wedding after friday. my bridal studio ask me to collect it the night before when i send the car down to tie the ribbons
<FONT COLOR="0077aa">all</FONT>:
Jia Zhuang - my mum say just wait for an auspicious date (1st or 15th of each mth also can - Chu(1) yi(1) si(2) wu(3))and just bring the stuff to teh enw place. it must be there for before the actual day.
<FONT COLOR="0077aa">Irene</FONT>:
Thats what i did too, stick 2 Xi sticker on teh lamps that i bought.
<FONT COLOR="0077aa">bluechin</FONT>:
U better not buy tea lought candle cos the lamp is suppose to be lighted up the whole night on ur wedding day. i dun think a tea light candle can sustain the entire night and u r not suppose to let the light go off anytime during the night. so better get a battery operated lamp cos u will not be around to look after the light.

Jowie,
OIC......
what about those old clothes and stuff?
Can I slowly bring over after wedding?
Bluechin,
heed jowie advice on the lamp.
Me also got a battery operated one.
Coz we staying in Hotel and the lamp is to be on for whole night. And since I'm going home to change to teadress and then go mum place and then to hotel straight, I'll have to on it then. (if I wrong, correct me coz me actually not sure when to on it.)

Jowie,
oic.... If they wanna u to bring them around then how? U need more rest now that u r going to be a bride soon leh...... Juz try to smile more and answer their queries when asked. Dun be afraid.... all the nov Brides will support u..... "Wo Men Yong Yuan Zi Ci Ni"
I think Star Cellars also tie up with various hotels. They will also do the delivery for u. but i think u can also sign up with Magnum.... i have not decided on mine yet either. Och, another bride strongly recommend Fine Wines Retail Store.
I think Katong Catering might be related to Kyo Cakes cos i saw a picture with the words Katong Catering in the background.Check out the picture here
Wow.... your thank you speech muz be very nice.... muz share share with me okay.
then i can share your tears.

Starfruit,
thanks! i'm still sourcing for nice red lamps......
mee too like Jowie was asked to collect my gowns about a week before my actual day.
I think the nite before the wedding to collect the gowns will be too rush for me and i would prefer to rest more rather than going out in the nite.

<FONT COLOR="aa00aa">irene,</FONT>
the list is like what <FONT COLOR="ff6000">bluechin</FONT> listed lor. think for the old stuff, bring after the GDL or wedding oso nvr mind lah.
<FONT COLOR="aa00aa">bluechin,</FONT>
we prefer the other lamp, but maybe like what <FONT COLOR="ff6000">starfruit</FONT> says lor, tealight most to most only last abt 4 hrs, then somemore we not around to "monitor", guess we'll get the small & cheap battery operated lamps lor.
<FONT COLOR="aa00aa">starfruit,</FONT>
i think better collect gowns earlier cos "bride & groom not supposed to meet each other on the eve of wedding day". somemore if collect early, then found got defect, can get them to rectify. if collect only the nite before, prob they'll juz pin here pin there. juz my thoughts.
<FONT COLOR="aa00aa">jowie,</FONT>
the bridal will hv accessories for u to choose.. either u wan to use or not, juz take the set u like best (from the choices they gave u). then on actual day, u can ask ur makeup artist if she got matching accessories. if u prefer hers, then juz leave the bridal's accessories aside lor.. then u in win-win situation mah.. else scarly ur makeup artiste got limited accessories & u dun like, then jia-lat.

romona,
think it depends on where would u want to go for honeymoon loh, if you want to go states, and visit the different states there, then it'll be a better idea to wait for you FH to be posted there and u join him, however, judging at the insecurity and chaos there, u may want to think carefully, also double check with ur FH whether he has the extra time to go for honeymoon or not.
val,
yah i know where's everbliss, think BZ is at the other side, metro side. Bridal Art is nearer to Everbliss.
$2588 is for one pax. are u keen on going too?
corie,
where do u work? or next wed 30/10 can?? fixed the appt at 6.15 pm??
bery???? coming or not???

starfruit,
My wedding's on 20th and i'll be going down for my final fitting on the 9th which they will make the necessary alterations if any (i hope not), after that collection will be on the 14th. I can always change the collection date cos this was arrange two weeks back.
I personally find a day before too rush.

Oops...sorry lah..me very blur...ok I think I know where bridal zone is liao. Wah you all seem to know all the shops very well huh?
Strawberry, 2588per pax is really not within our means. So we'll give that a miss...unless we decide to take up the 0% instalment plan. Haven discuss with my FH yet.

Jowie,
Cabernet Sauvignon's a slightly more costly wine than Cabernet Merlot..... Actually Merlot, Cabernet and Sauvignon r the names of the grapes used to make the wine. And they mix them to form better wine.
me no expert.... later u follow me... and i make the wrong judgement u dun <FONT COLOR="ff0000">KoK </FONT>my head ok....

Hi Julia,
Thanks for sharing your pix. You look very good on the photos. Like the outdoor photos alot. Hey, we actually share the same make up artist, Jerlyn. I think she's pretty good with make-up & hair & fast too, don't you think?
Wishing you a blissful marriage.

Blossom, thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed looking at your pictures. Like your hairdo especially the one with the flower-like accessory (studio pix), simple yet elegant. The stripes too, unique. You looked good, very natural.
Wishing you a blissful marriage ahead.

yah i made some changes to the draft, this morning t-dragon called to chase me to fax back to them, now i'm waiting for their fax to see the changes, (final draft). should finalised by tomorrow, cos i need the cards in early nov.
i'm not changing into tea dress cos i find it too mah fan to change to tea dress, its up to you loh, also see if ur parents "pandang" or not, cos wearing tea dress back supposingly means that you're well accepted by the groom's family.

Hi Gals,
Wow....so many postings since noon huh?? heehee...
Strawberry - 30 Oct should be fine with me. Dun think I will be working late that day. I stay in sengkang so can take train together with your liao.
Berypig - Great that you will be able to join us for dinner. As for changing into tea dress, it really depends on your parents and the elders lor. My grandparents are cantonese so, they are very traditional one. Someone was telling me that a cantonese bride who wear kua back will have a bigger ang boa cos the elders love to see the bride in kua (as in those HK shows), it is their traditional bride gown lor.
I also have not order the cakes yet. Which shop is best recommanded??

Halo Gals,
Aiya now everywhere is dangerous but if it's fated that you encounter that I think it's fated lor....Dun forget s'pore also danger country...
Anyway...I saw an SMS that reads...Terrorists are planning to bomb 3 bridges in the world..1st is London bridge, 2nd is Jin men Da Qiao, 3rd is Ang Mo Kio......becos they thot there got alot of Ang Mohs...
I think it's quite funny...but for the AMKers..dun feel offended hor..jus a joke..
Berypig, Aus is one of my consideration but haven really been to travel agencies to chk out the prices...Recently got alot of those like package for 4 pax cheaper one hor...maybe 2 of the couples here can consider going together...
Btw, bengawan solo cakes I eat before...I eat the walnut one before...I think it's really nice..Btw, my sis jus receive an invi card that has a cake collection voucher inside. That means the recipient can go to any of their outlets to collect the cake...Quite special...I think the shop is Bengawan Solo.
