Harlow Fantasy... Actually I thought of getting OTR from Jit but as he can only let me use gowns from brides whose weddings were over, choices are limited. Either I don't like the colours or the material. So end up cutting it lor. RSYC is Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, its at West Coast Jetty Road, near where I stayed. Heng ah! At least I don't need to fight the traffic in town to get there on my AD.

Hi Apr! Welcome! Another 5 June bride! Yeh!

Wah, you take your photos so early! So good... I still have to juggle between my tight work schedule, renovation, gown fitting, PS and other preparations.

I'm hoping my hair will reach below braline by my PS date but don't think I can achieve it now ... maybe only for my AD.... stupid me, I went to snipe 2 inches off in November without thinking.

 

[chillipadi]

Hi Bubbles

Easier said than done, I've been taking the CNY goodies. Ystdy went for facial, watch pain pain leh... This evening going for manicure, pedicure and eyebrow pluck. Cubby, I am somehow troubled by the rainy weather these few days. I reckon tomorrow will be the same

[naze]

Hi Gals,

This thread is the most happening one now. Give ourselves a pat.

Hi Cubby,

No worries abt your nails, all nail salons can do acrylic for u, that is fake nails. I intend to do fake nails for AD and PS. If only 1 nail is broken , u can choose to do only 1 or u can have a whole set.

Hi Yvonne,

Maybe u can try changing shampoo, it might help and reduce MSG and salt intake.Do u have long hair? Try not to bun or tie it up, if u have to, tie it loosely.

Onee,

Pray that the rain would stop and the skies would be clear during your PS.


I am looking around for shoes now but can't buy until after CNY, wld chk out HUE , Tangs and OG .
Any more places to recommend?

 

[fi_fi]

[apr]

Hi Naze,

It depends on the amount that ur are willing to pay, cos I was shopping around, & notice that shoes at Tangs that are classic enough for wedding is very costly.

Therefore, I actually MTM my at Leapin Lizard. It cost me about $90 for a 4" high open-toes shoes with 2 strips of diamond stuts.

You might want to look around as well as going to Leapin Lizard to check out the price for the design that u want before buying if you have time.

 

[pikota75]

[orosalind]

Babysheep,

[dear_dear]

Hi Mel Tan,

Right now, I am urgently looking for AD photographer and videographer, anyone got good lobang? My budget for AD photogapher is less than $1000. For videographer, not too sure abt the cost, can you all share with me?

Thanks a lot...
