Hi Fencnef,

Is the skirt, cos I'm abt 1.67 m tall. Thanks for the advice. Are you intending to buy the shoe from HOE?
That's pretty cheap. Have went to take alook during the sale, but didn't caught an eye on any of the items. Can save $. : )

 

[fantasy]

Hi cubby,

Think it will be cheaper and more worthwhile to take photography with bridal pkg unless they dont have any tie up with the photographer of your choice. That's why I took up Robin within package from Frederick. Savings of few hundreds.

Did u book apptm with Frederick before popping by? He's usually quite busy on Sat since he is not open on sunday. Weekday should be better if you wanna have more time to sit down and talk to him. Personally I find him very friendly and I like him very much but one of my girlfriend got otherwise treatment when she visited him. What's your opinion of him?
Which is the gown tat you like?? Me did tried on two which was featured when I was choosing my ROM gown.

 

[fencnef]

hey yvonne..

wow!1.67m..u muz have long limbs..hee...

i oni 1.62..the length is juz nice for me..any longer i will sweep the floor wif it..
i'm nt sure whether to buy the shoes..my hubby said i looked cute wif the shoes..since he made comment said nice, dan i make him buy lah..haha

[rabbitwsk]

Hi ladies

<font color="aa00aa">kite</font>
ok, thx. May i know that when's ur customary? Me planning at dec. Have u signed up any bridal package?

<font color="aa00aa">Yvonne</font>
So, it seems that u have settled quite alot things already. May i know that is it we can get better package during the bridal show for divine? Is in lower price or more photo?

 

[kite~]

hi yvonne,

Thanks for the email n info u have sent to me.

Wow u have even settle everything for ur wedding next yr dec. wow tats fast manz. btw how much is the bridal package with Divine? hmm after seeing the waterfront ballroom pix, i m quite disappointed with it leh esp the ceiling looks so low.

Hi dkny,

Yes i m a Dec bride too. u too right?

nope i have even started a single thing yet. aiya, too lazy to start leh. u leh? started anyting?

 

[peko]

Hi rabbitwsk,

he wants to see the package then he willing to go down and see the photography lor... so most likely i will go down on my own 1st, tried the gowns then i will ask him to go down with me lor... faster and easier mah..... if he is comfortable with the package, photography and i will try only a few in front of him mah... nt to waste his time... he dont really like to wait also...

 

[peko]

Hi gals...

wah... all of you stand quite tall leh... i am only 1.56m... pretty short sia..... and abit chubby lor....
then i think you all must be very easy to find your gowns... me abit difficult leh... some dont look nice on me cos i m too short... sob....

 

[silver]

Hi gals!

Not been feeling gd. Was diarrhea for last 3 days. Today stopped but feeling weak n plus mens clamp

Checked wif doc n he said diarrhea could be due to stress. Think I must be thinking too much abt my bank offer.

Ever,
Wow tot ur bro's gf v high standard? Surprised that she will like PP. What package did Nicole offers her? Email me if not convenient to disclose here.

Jul,
Finally you are back!

Yvonne,

Yan &amp; Jan,
Hey ve to ve confident wif him! I am sure he can do a gd job too.

Garf, Yan &amp; Jan,
So style nothing much? So sad. I think my sis bought Female but that day when I flipped thro nothing much too.

 

[ever]

Hi gals!!

wah, so many of us not free to log in, but you gals still managed to make this thread so active!! hahahhahaha.....

jul, welcome back!!!!!!!!! thought you decided to "desert" us.....

jan/yan, think i'll try my best not to switch.... luckily, i didnt visit the shop with my bro, if not i sure kana tempted.... guess i'll concentrate on learning the new ropes for my job instead of thinking of all these stuff!!!

silver, take care.... so, any decision made on the bank offer? dont stress too much, k? me not sure of the package she offered.... only told me briefly on the phone.... think its still the promo price....

ok, gals.... "chat" with you gals tmw!!

 

[jann]

Morning!!

Glad to see u gals still check the thread here at night! hehehe..

Hey silver, take good care! Dun think so much first ya

Yup, Yan and I trust that guy, just that when so many of u all decided to change to pp made me just think lah... u know we gals can easily get tempted... like wat ever is going thru!! hahaha!!

Yvonne must be very kan chiong now!! hehehe.. Must share with us tomorrow!!

Hi ever! Oh, tot u visited pp together with ur bro's gf! Lucky u didnt!! hahaha.. If not think ur bf will have headache and have to constantly hear ur nagging!!

 

[onee]

Good morning gals,

Cubby : I'm not decided on the gown design actually. Still browsing. Since I've signed with Ted Collection, I'll definitely have 1 cheong sum and the other two, I've not thought about it leh. My hotel search oso in a mess. Might have to lower my budget, now in the neither here nor there situation lor. If budget's real tight, will have to re-search hotel again lor

Also like Divine's low back gowns. Thought it'll be value for $ to take photography with bridal package, moreover it's photographer you've had in mind?

Fairymoss : Wah, 1st fitting this week liao ah. Have fun...

 

[jann]

Hey hey.. no one around today?

 

[squirt]

Hi ms mango...(hee)

I will be meeting Juliana this sunday...to sign the packagae...did u bargain for any extra things huh?

Me just wan evertying black and white..safer mah..

[smurfy]

Hi,

do you all think black CS with bright red flowers prints is alright for tea ceremony on AD?

 

[cubby]

hi fairymoss,

yah loh...can u imagine the female magz jus been out a few days and had been snapped up! but the gown really quite nice heehee...

hmm wan something lacy for my evening...yah romatic kind hehe...cos WG will not be lace so tot maybe EG can be different abit

hi fantasy,
oic...i tink it depends on how many photos they package with the bridal package....i think i will drop by few more photographer before i decide....

i did called up frederick before i went...but think he's really busy....moreover the gown i like is sold so i din have the moon to try others hehe by the way.i went on fri ard 5pm...considered weekday.. he's smiley but just too engrossed with sewing his gowns when i'm there hehe

the gown i like got the lace at the neck there...u got female magz right? u sld know which one i'm refereing to...

hi onee,
yah..anyway we still have time right? so u can take ur time to find ur suitable gowns!

actaully how much is ur package w TC? consist of wat?

think u got spent more time in banquet...otehrwise the date u wan might not be available...since its sat loh...

 

[mango78]

Hi Fencnef,

So, was thinking that if i wear high heels shoes, not sure whether will make the skirt look shorter or not? Maybe i should consult shirleen when I went over there again.

 

[mango78]

Hi dkny,

I'm not sure about what we can get from the bridal show. Juz know that sure have some discounts from the normal price. That's why I'm going down to the bridal show too to get the bridal package.

Kite,

My wedding will be in end of nov instead of dec. Have confirmed the date already. As for divine package,I have not signed up yet, waiting for the bridal show on the 29th Oct. If you are interested, you can go down too.

The ceiling is abit low as compared to the grand ballroom. But really can't compared cos you paid differently for different ballrooms. If you don't mind, it should be alright.

Shanice,

My coordinator is Johnny. Ask her to state everything clearly on the contract itself. I ask for 10 ppl for food tasting.Change my annverisary night to the actual day, so I will have 2 days stay.I add another dish to make-up a 9-course dinner. Didn't ask for much cos the package is quite comprehensive. The other things he gave it to me. I have not sign up my bridal package yet, juz have in mind which one to sign up. : )

 

[tweetie]

Hi everyone,

Tweetie

 

[mango78]

[anne]

Hi brides to be...

I'm new in this forum.
Actually I just decided my customary wedding to be Nov 2004.
So would like to have some ideas on preparation and so on fr this thread.
Hope you gals can enlighten me on certain things that I really missed out.

 

[squirt]

Hi Yvonne

Tks...i will also ask for 10 ppl for food tasting..

U mean u add another dish to make up to 9 course huh..did u have to pay extra?

Juliana was telling me that if I am taking white lilies for the deco in the banquet rm..i gotta pay extra...is it true gals?

 

[mango78]

Hi anne,

Welcome to this thread. So have you start doing homework for your banquet venue and bridal package? Is better for you to start off now with your banquet venue first as the good days might be all taken up by other brides. Nowsdays, ppl do tend to book their banquet quite early, about 1.5 to 1 year.Based on your budget, shortlisted the venues that you want. After settled your banquet, you can search for your bridal package according to your preference and budget.

You can list down your budget, we gals here might be able to help you.

 

[amethyst]

Hi smurfy
very nice!!! you mean the gold EG still got beading? then must be WOW when done.
thanks for the viewing.

 

[smurfy]

Amethyst,

Thanks for your compliments! It puts my heart more at ease. I were very worried that the color do not match my skin color and my butt is too flat!

Now i oso worried that my black CS will turn the old pple face black during tea ceremony. Very mah fan ... sigh

 

[mango78]

Hi Shanice,

Yup, got to pay extra $ for the dish you choose, depend on what you choose.

As for the flowers, I'm not sure cos have not ask about that yet.

 

[overwhelmed]

[dkny]

<font color="ff6000">kite</font>
Me haven't get the date but planning to have in dec. Me only do some survey about bridal package n banquet, but didnt sign up anything at this moment. How about u? Have shortlisted smth about bridal package n banquet?

<font color="ff6000">Yvonne</font>
I'm also think that maybe can get more photo or special discount. So, if i really want it, i think i also need to go the bridal show. HAve u bought style mag? It got lots of divine gown leh

<font color="ff6000">tweetie</font>
Me also dec bride. Wah! u got some many people to invite? Me havent book any banquet, so cant help u

<font color="ff6000">Jasmin</font>
Ha!Me also shortlisted flamingo n divine at this moment. Yap! divine is famous with their bare back design. I went b4 n met jessica, she's quite friendly n i know that they total have 3 designer in the shop. I've forgottan the price already but roughly about 4k plus n the price will be a bit different n it depends which photo shop u tight with.

 

[jann]

[overwhelmed]

Hi dkny,

thanks for the info... seems like we have a penchant for bare backs

... since it's once in a lifetime thot i'll just go all the way... so when i'm old and wrinkly, i can admire my once-upon-a-time young and smooth back! *hahaha*

do let me know when u're decided which BS to pick

 

[kite~]

hi Yvonne,

may i know how many ballrooms in total GCW has? 3? can u name them n tell me how many tables can each ballroom accomodate? which ballroom u think is more class? thanks.

hi dkny,

aiya, sianz leh, me n hubby like very lazy to get started preparing since we hv new hse n already rom. leaving comfortably there liao.

sometimes its like that one hor. sigh
i oso shortlist GWC, other than that, nothing at all. no need to say the bridal studio, hvnt started too.

u?

wow u oso hv penchant for bare backs ah. me too leh! i luv bare back gowns! so divine is famous for their bare backs. maybe due to ur n other gd comments, i will go ahead on divine, hehe cos really sianz to search here n there. btw how much estimate is the bridal package?
u? hv u gone down to flamingo or divine?

thanks.

 

[blue_lake]

oh ya hor... my name is back in blue again when i din log in. haha. wat a silly question.

go smurfy go! i feel very tired if i do the standard push up with hands placed like diamond. very tedious for me cos my under arms fat can flap like wings. haha. i need to work hard too.
ur black CS has red flowers, so ok la. wear black look slimmer and more elegant. keke.
ur gold EG is very nice. why u worry? flat butt looks nicer than my super round super mega big butt. humph! i'm worried becos my EG is also mermaid style. all ppl can see my mega big butt liao. sob!

i finally made my appointment to take measurements. yeah! it's this thurs. so exciting! wat must i bring? my shoes right?

 

[eighteight]
