Hi gals! Today is a super bad day for me. So busy, then kena 'screwed' by boss for being too slow *sigh* But I'm doing something new what, still learning so must give chance right? *sob*
Jan,
Must reply everyone right? Later u all think I 'tao' or some thing *hee*
Ever,
Yeah lor, u gals posted so many msgs yesterday when I was super busy, so today gotta post till my money's worth!
I know we have to stay for 5 yrs, but 5 yrs pass quite fast actually. What if we decide to get a resale flat in a gd location, then our hse is done so nicely. Let someone else stay, also heart pain right?
Yan,
It's okie, I also can't leave work on time *sigh* We c u at Marche then.
Karyinn,
Maybe I feel differently coz I'm in the civil service. But then, it's true that we have some gd points. Just that sometimes when u know what's gog on in the background, u get a little more cynical

Hi Rene,
thank u for starting this thread.
Hi Trixie,
nice to see you in this thread. i think this is where i should belong. hee hee. I'm prob a Dec 04 bride.
Just some sharing on my part:
To those who r scouting for boutique,
i m signing up with Jawn happy.ever.after
They have very good comments in this forum (in fact, no negative comments at all).
And for those looking for banquet venue,
I'm considering Le Meridien. One of the cheapest ballroom package available and food not bad. I'm going for the wedding show on 20 Jul 03. If anybody is interested, we can meet up then.
Cheers!

hello gals!
Jul, yeah, i temped b4 at a civil service job, so i know how it's like... haha.. well, no need to comment too much abt this!
Yup, for me, i think just as long as ur house is cosy that's good enough, think no need to renovate so nice lah. But of coz, diff ppl think differently. Some ppl feel just do basic reno will do, but some like their house to be done up nicely...
Zen, care to share which banquet and bridal u book with?
That's good that ur family are not so pantang!

Thanks, binbin.
I've booked my bridal package with French Studio. We were attracted by the photos they took, especially my fiance, was impressed by their photography skills... but I'm a bit worried abt their range of gowns available. So far, I've not seen any which attracts me when we visited their boutique. Hee hee, though I've not hv my 1st fitting yet. Instead, I've been attracted by other boutiques' gowns, but sad to say tt their package r on the higher side & we can't afford to spend 2 much on the wedding package....

binbin, i havent been to imperium b4..will let u know when i get to see it this wkend
As for club chinois, is it a funcky place ? maybe me also "suah-ku" lah...kekeee..i just know a lot of ppl like to choose there for wedding. The restaurant is located in orchard parade hotel. anyway, i'm going for good food and okie ambience, tats why we choose the tunglok restaurants.
dohphin, binbin : looks like we may be getting married on the same day ! is yours a sat or sun ?
CC2 and Jamci, think both u may also b same day ! haha..
my bridal shop hasnt arrange the PS for us yet cos we have yet to choose the gown. 1st appt is in late august. If PS is at nov and dec, is it inconvenient ? is jan not raining season ? how long do we need to get the photos ready before actual day ? If nov to jan also raining then how ?

dolphin, did u try on their gowns when u made the 1st visit to the bridal studio ? i did try on a few pcs at the bridal shop which i sign off with. We take up the package partly bcos of the price and partly we will bit lazy to scout around. And after we sign up with them, my FH say not to look at other bridal shops anymore cos he so scared that i would get distracted and regret. Up till now, we are still waiting for the 1st appt.
Hi Sunflower, mine is on a Sat. Wat abt urs? Binbin leh?
Baobao, I didn't hv a chance to try on their gowns during our 1st visit. But I did ask them to show me some of their gowns & their 'Kuas'.
Actually like u, we also a bit lazy to scout around & my FH also ask me to stop looking at other bridal shops... ha ha, 'cos like urs, he knows tt I'll get distracted whenever I see a nicer gown elsewhere.... We're also waiting for our 1st 'official' appt, shld be next mth. Btw, which bridal shop u signed up with? When's ur wedding?

Pebbles: Not sure if you had mention before...but where will you be having your wedding??? have you made up your mind yet.....
I went to imperium with my good friend yest....cos she has a wedding next week....and it looks pretty nice...quite big...but i will still rather a hotel...for the ambience....however, imperium is charging quite expensive as well....and no free barrel of beer on weekends packages
Poox: you live in sengkang area...is it inconvenient to get around...i have some friends living there and they complain abt the inconvenience....i live in a 5-rm in yew tee...we got this place a year ago.....cos my parents live nearby so i am pretty used to this area....dun really wanna stay anywhere else..hehehehe.....
So how's everyone prep for wedding??? I just found a wine supplier some days back....but my friend got another recommendation as well....abt $16/bottle....is that a good price???
okies....hope to hear from you all soon.....

Hi CC2, that why i checked out with the bridal studio first before i signed.
Sunflower, CC2's date is on 2nd week, as for me, mine is in the 3rd week. So very hard to be the same date...
The club chinois is more like shanghai theme with low ceiling. My cousin had her wedding over there 4 years ago.

Hi doreamon,
WOW! i'm impressed! what a comprehensive list you've got! very nice of you to share wif the brides here. ;-) heheheh...at least me don't need to go sourcing ard for quotations!
Hi pebbles,
If nothing goes wrong or changes my plans, i shld be having my ROM cum customary on the same day and banquet 2 days later....me want to "get over and done" with all the wedding prep!
However, me thinking of getting a teadress - maybe a short cheongsam tea dress...sourcing for tailors but if there are ready made ones...will consider.

Hi Yvonne
there are 2 ballrooms at traders.. one can accomodate 19 tables the other one can accomodate 30 tables (min. 20/22 tables for weekdays/weekends)... i've chosen the larger ballroom but i doubt i will have that many tables.. estimating between 20-25 tables.. to me the ballroom is quite simple but yet still elegant...rectangular shaped, ceiling not very high but to us is high enuff.. on one side are full height windows running along the whole wall and u can see the 'waterfall' on the outside which i like but the bad point is there are 2 pillars in the ballroom.. but i was shown the layout.. since i'm not having that many tables.. arrangement of the tables can be made so that my guests won't be blocked.. we've seen the setup of a wedding before and we find it quite romantic..
my wedding is on a weekday.. weekday pkg starting from $628nett.. i signed up during the bridal show so had $30 off each table.. and i took the higher end pkg at $668nett.. so my actual amount is $638nett per table.. weekend pkg starts at $678nett i think.. but without complimentary 20L barrel of beer.
i think i still have the soft copy details of the banquet for traders so if u wanna have a look i can forward it to u.. just let me know ur email add

Good afternoon , girls ! taking my lunch time to get in here for a peak
CC2 : U been to club chinois ? hows the atmosphere and the food ? Good? hows ur cousin's wedding..me getting anxious..must go down take a look this wkend
Dolphin & CC2 , my wedding falls on a sunday...tat mean we wont be getting married on the same day
. lets see which day is binbin's.
Like you and baobao..my FH knows tat i would regret if i go around other bridal shops for a look. So we immediately sign up after we step into the 2nd bridal shop ( lucky shop !! hahaha ) Another thing is becos we got $$$ constraint. Already spent most of $$ on renovation..so bit tight loh.
My 1st appt also next mth!! but nearer to end of the mth
so excited !
Me also very ignorant abt wedding package..i sign up before i found this forum..so when i read thru the bridal shop thread, feel a bit "kah-dok" by them
anyway, i think once sign means cannot ask for anything else already, am i right ??
