(2004) Brides of year 2004

[karyinn]

Hi,

Because my bridal shop main branch at Taipei.
Since I and my FH initially plan to go Taiwan this Dec. So we decide to postpone to March or April.
Reason 1: Got bridal shop there, no extra charges, we just pay for the makan, accomdation and air ticket.
Reason 2: Me and my FH sweat EASILY!!!... If we take the shooting at singapore, I think no need to wait for an hour my sweat cover my face liao
Reason 3: frankly, heard alot of bad comment about my bridal shop

.. sob sob no confident at them. So I hope can go to their main branch which my friend sister went there for shooting. She said the PS was very good , make up also very very good...so my dream now is going there take photo. Hope everything goes well

[amethyst]

Ocean dear,
Wah! Then what would you wear from htb? necklace? lingerie? hee hee.....
Don't stress! I haven't book my venue yet, haven't confirm ROM date, haven't find my HDB flat, haven't find photography/flowers/makeup artist/etc.... I didn't sign up any package, only bought my tea dress and wedding gown separately and both doing alterations now... haven't think of my evening gown.... so don't stress.
Most importantly is to ENJOY this process and you'll be surprised how things can come by your way and fall in place nicely.
ladies, any recommendation of reputable hotels for 120 -150 people? I plan to have a wedding ceremony cum sit down lunch.

Dear Trixie,
would you kindly send me your list?
I'm prob getting married in Dec 04 or Jan 05. Waiting for the almanac for a good date.
My email:
[email protected]
Thanks!

 

[tinkerbell]

Hi Angie,

Checked with my friend liao... she said her coordinator was a lady called Emily. The Malay guy I saw on the actual day was the duty manager for that day - she can't recall his name. Sorry, can't help much...

Hi Yvonne,

I'm also waiting for the almanac... my uncle who's a fengshui master said he cannot give me a date until the almanac is published... I'm so afraid that by the time the almanac is out, the hotels that I want will be fully booked already...

Hi gals,

TGIF!

I'm going on a short trip tomorrow and will only be back next Tues... so if I'm a little retarded in replying, pls forgive me...

 

[jul]

Hi gals! Wow, so active while I was busy. That figures

Karyinn,

My frens r all working too

But nvm, I'll find something to do with my leave. Maybe can look for facial / spa / manicure packages, like what ever suggested.

I sweat easily too! Are you also the type who pespires after bath, & just by walking to the bus stop? I'm like that, so cannot wear makeup. End up looking like I'm melting away

If u really dun wanna have the ROM at Regent, u can request to convert it to food voucher / hotel stay? Or use it for ur wedding dinner next yr?

Go to Taiwan for PS? That's amazingly cool! At least u have something special.

I've been to try the gowns at Julia. So beatutiful! I felt like a princess the moment I put on their gowns. Of course, the gal let me try the "latest Design" range. Not sure what that means. Does it mean the gowns are imported?

 

[jul]

Yvonne,

So gd, ur company provides free med check up. I think we have to pay a few hundred to get check up outside right?

Well, we can SMS each other when we get there. Also can say what colour we're wearing etc.

I believe the keeping the tables angpao is std tradition? Actually I dunno much abt tradition. All the si dian jin, pin jing, guo da li, ti qing... Er... No idea!

But then, my mum hasn't made any requests. I think she's as blur as me. Hopefully some old relative doesn't kaypo & start yakking on abt all the rituals

 

[jul]

Hi Jan,

U staying at Hougang now? I'm staying near that area too! But I really dun dare to take the NEL. After so many delays in starting the service, then the 90min break down, I really dun dare to trust them!

Maybe I let you try for a while, like guinea pig *evil laugh*

 

[jul]

Ever,

R u the first one getting ROM? I'm really confused already *sigh* Must be getting old

Kind of envy u gals who are getting ROM. It's almost like having 2 weddings right? But then, it saves me some money to combine ROM w/ customary. Rem I got 2 church weddings to finance *sob*

 

[jul]

Gals! It's one yr exactly to the day of my wedding! Actually, it's yesterday & today. so excited!

 

[yan]

Hi gals,

I may be late on Sun, cos my FH need to attend service.. not too sure whether can he rush down by 12.45pm.. will sms u gals when i am there...

heehee.. i pressure my FH to buy digital camera tmr, so that i can take pixs on sun... actually its a plot to get him to buy the camera for me!!! he keep on dilly dally on the purchase. we talked abt this since Mar.

Hope he doesn't read this before i get the camera..

 

[ocean]

amethyst, lingerie? Gd idea, some are really sexy and nice!! However, cannot leh... Due to tummy and fat thigh and fat arms and.... Oh dear

.... tat's reminds me that I'm FAT!!!

When r u planning to hv your ROM cum dinner? Have u select ur date or I miss it out!

For venue, what is ur budget?

 

[silver]

Hihi gals...

Hey I think I going to sign up wif FP. Think I really need to force myself to do some exercise. Left with around 4-5mths to lost weight leh cos was advised that it's best to slim down b4 we go for measurement for our MTM gowns otherwise too many alteration will spoil the 'shape' of the gowns.

Ever & Yvonne,
Wat's the HI/LO and pilates you gals talking abt huh?

Jul, Yan & Yvonne,
Ok will sms each other when there. My sis will be going wif me.

Karyinn,
Oh cool ya to ve ps overseas. How much do you ve to pay for overseas ps?

Well I guess every bridal will ve a few unhappy clients. Most impt is you must feel comfortable and their like service/gowns/photos.

 

[silver]

Hi wendylee & sneaky,
Go for one session and if you like it dan sign up lah! Dun be too impulsive ya hehehe. I believed if at the end of the session and you intend to sign up she will consider that day's session from the package.

Hi blurdoey,
You can give it a try!

Hey so far I only been to Nailgirl once. Was quite please with that day's service. Hope no chance to it hehe

 

[yvonne]

Hi Silver,
Wow... u wake up so early ya 1am+!!! Hee...
HI/LO is actually a combination of athletic moves and dance, jumps and hops in an upbeat rhythmic flow. Good for cardio conditioning and toning. I've not try PILATES maybe Ever can tell you more on that!

Btw, when you going to choose yr gown or 1st fitting? Hey, have u gals saw the DBS advertisement on the ATM screen? I like the gown which the bride wears... hee!

 

[wuff wuff]

Hi gals,

Just to keep ya updated...i will be confirming my dinner package with Pearl River Palace Restaurant...they got quite a good writeup: http://www.asiacuisine.com.sg/Reviews/Restaurant/2002/07/171/

Their prices are reasonable and they provide a room in Ritz Carlton hotel for the dinner package..hehe...

Cheers!
Bow Wow

 

[silver]

Gd morning!

Hi Yvonne,
HI/LO seems interesting ya? Dunno I ve the engery or not hehehe I told my bf I want to go for the yoga lesson and he suggested pilates.

I am going for discussion of gowns sometimes in sep or oct. Better give them more time dan last min. How abt u?

 

[taurus]

Hi cin_p,

So how was the sale? So surprised to run into you... Hope you've got lotsa good buys!

 

[trixie]

Hi taurus,
Will email you the list on monday as the file is in the office, k?

Think a good start will be to set a budget first lor, then have a rough idea how many tables you'll need. That'll help you shortlist. for me, i have only about 25 tables so my choices are rather limited

[yvonne]

Hi Trixie,

I have went to 3 bridal boutiques yesterday. Flamingo was fine, but not very impressive by the off-rack gown and service cos the lady was late. Divine service was very professional. I was served by Kim. I love her style of working. Silhoutte gown was very classical and elegant. Their designers were mans. Was in between these two. But, overall, still like Divine. She told me that they are having a promotion at 29th October at Grand Corthprone hotel. If I'm interested, I can make a trip there too.

Might take a look at another 2 to 3 more before making the final decision. Can I know which photography did you take up with? How was their package like? I intend to make a trip down to the 4 photography studios before deciding which one to take, cos Divine has tied up with Studio'D fia, robin and the other 2. Any comments on the compass photographers?

 

[cyn]

angel, so surprised to see u there too.. the sale not bad huh.. too bad hair care pdts not on sale. bought hair color, body spray &amp; hair tonic.. did u spend alot?

 

[jan]

Morning ladies!

So, how was the show yesterday?

sighs.. monday blues!

 

[ever]

Morning gals!!!

so many postings!!

<FONT COLOR="0000ff">Mon blues again....</FONT>

Jul, me not the first one to ROM lah.... think i'm one of the last... Karyinn &amp; Yvonne having theirs in Sept!! well, think you met most of the gals yday!!! had fun??

Yan, hows yr new digi camera?? took lots of pics during the bridal show?? must show us, k??

silver, congrats!! took the first step towards regular exercise....

pilates is to increase awareness of yr body, like exercising each part of the body at a time... not cardio training, so dont think of losing weight by attending pilates... think its good for posture and overall toning... diificult to explain leh...

thanks for the info on select, but will most probably take CJS!!

Yvonne, keep us updated on your ROM dress selection!! cant wait for mine!! me going in Aug to select... must kiasu a bit, in case i cant find any nice ones!!

Sagi!!!! must log in more often, k?? then you'll be able to keep up with our postings!!

hey gals, me tried the NEL on sat. Cool!! Thumbs up!!! Jul, don't worry about taking the NEL... its really fast loh!! and i went diamond shopping!! the sale at Lee Hwa is not bad, but the main promo is for their cosmo design which is a four-clawed ring... if not, we gotta pay extra for the setting... me hav decided on a six-clawed setting... my bf will source for the most value-for-money diamond!!! yippee!!!!!

 

[jan]

Hi ever!

U tried the NEL line eh.. Fast right? hehe.. I was really impressed by the speed too!!

Oh that's good for u.. Ur bf buying diamond for u!! hehe..

Btw, what's pilates.. gosh, i really have no idea abt these terms!!
