(2004) Brides of year 2004

[binbin]

hi smallonion hhhhahahahhaha.....coz my memory not good recently so i say i old loh hhahahahhahaa.....

well, karen's products really work for me, so i dun mind paying a bit more. whether or not it's expensive is really dependent on you. for me, i spent on a lot of facials before that, and i even signed up for 2 packages last time, one of them becoz it's really cheap. but later i found out cheap things may not be good hehehe....and my face become worse. when i went to karen, she knows i am cash strapped, so she actually did an anlysis of my current products for me, to advice me which of them i can continue using, and which to keep (dun use) until i am ready. in this case, i do not need to buy much of her prdcts. by doing that, she is helping me, but not earning much of my money. i feel that she is really really there to help loh, and not to earn money also. i only signed facial with her then. gradually after that then i started buying her prdts. and now i have so many hahahhaa......

well, her facials ranges from $70 to $200. depends on what u need. she is the best person to advice, really...

why not give her a call?

 

[smallonion]

binbin..hehehehehe, IC, maybe recently u too busy cos of wedding, hows ur home sweet home? is it ready? U holding any house warming for it? kekeke, so KPO,HAHHAHA. BTW, u working near where?

I afraid my pcoket got a big hole after going to facial,

 

[voice_0229]

hi ocean

my bridal package is inclusive of transport for outdoor shoot, no need pay extra.

I will be using the E210 Merz, the big and small eyes one.

included in my package too.

 

[binbin]

hi smallonion, me working near bugis.

house warming ah? not so soon lah, most prob after wedding. but will be inviting close friends to my place once in a while...they have been waiting and itching to come hehhehee....

sometimes i know wedding is very draining on the finances. but then again, which bride dun wish to look radiant on the AD? if she is not blessed with perfect flawless skin, she will always need to do something abt it. like me loh, i spend a lot on facials, but now i am happy coz it works loh hehhee....

 

[ingenue78]

[chenoa]

Hi orosalind,

It's good that you are certain and firm on what you want. Ya....cannot let bridal designers fool us into taking an OTR as an MTM.

I'm having only MTM for one gown - wither WG or EG, but most likely to be WG. so, don't need to think so much. kekeke

 

[twinkleglint]

hi smallonion, cin_p,

cin_p & others, wat abt u all?

 

[cyn]

smallonion... my main motivation to facial is my wedding... but i started early.. must give my complexion some time to get used to the pdts... it's abt time for me to really take care of on skin... age is catching up.. keke

[pageup]

Hi ocean,

beside the ampoules, think another hidden cost you need to take note of is the fake eyelashes.
My makeup artiste charge me $15 for a pair.

my package also come with a merc but it is only E200, not the big and small eye. We exchange the mercs for 4 more 15R photos. Will be using the one provided by my resturant instead

Remember to give a big smile on that day.

Where are your PS venues? Try to be creative in posing.

 

[yoyo]

twinkleglint : sure...

 

[oceans]

Oh yap, <font color="0000ff">Pageup</font>, thanks for reminding of the false eyelashes. Mus ask if charge or not!!

Quite tired of all these money issues! If not must work within the budget, then, I wld not have to be so calculative liao!

But it seemed like all of your bridal does not charge for outdoor transport lor!!

So nice!

My bridal package also got bridal car, same, Mer E200 too!!

 

[poox]

hihi

me just got a call from my bridal boutique

appt in 2 weeks time....can't stop smiling after putting down the phone...time to be more diligent in my "homework"....look for likes and dislikes.

 

[chenoa]

Hi orosalind,

MTM will take at least 2 months lah....most will tell you three. But embroidery will definitely take longer, cos more time consuming.

 

[gebbera]

Hi Poox &amp; Garfield33,

Great to be a part of you ladies....

currently i'm searching for designs for my WG &amp; EG. My BS is Santiago Wedding @ Bugis.
What about yours, Poox &amp; Garfield33? I'm having my next appt. with them next saturday. I'll have to give him an idea of what i would want my WG &amp; EG to be liked. Me also as excited as you gals.... seems like we are experiencing the same excitement. haha

For me, there's no preparation done yet, thus quite eager to start up some.

Hi Keann,
Wow... photoshooting in Melbourne... i reckoned you must have enjoyed it very much. so envy of you....

 

[cehckov]

lin, i also will have wedding on april 04 2004

 

[ihippo]

Hi everyone...

My wedding is also in May 2004. I have yet to book my dinner or sign up with any bridal shop yet. Am i too late?

Like to get some advise from all you gals here..
When should the PS be? In Jan/Feb 04?

 

[peggy]

Bonjon,

can't really decide on the PS's venue.
at first thinking of going to Raffles Marina..but they charge too ex liao..around $250

but tentatively will be botanic garden, charms or fort canning ..

creative poses...how...any advice?

btw..are you taking conventional or digital for AD photography?

 

[poshies]

Morning.....
guess most of u had the call from the package so good... mine don... so sourcing for it now...

 

[bonjon]

Peg,

I saw an album, that couple went to their JC and took photo playing with basketball, very different.

Hb actually wants to pose with fishing rod but forgotten about it when we went back.

Our venues - studio, our house and Sentosa. Saw some of the couples here took photo at the red house, railway. Very unique.

I had a pose, punching hb but the photographer was too shocked/ surprised with my action, didn't snap the photo. It's suppose to be candid shot.

AD photography yet to decide, have to ask hb's friend what he's using. We might take some digital ones using our own.

 

[blue_lake]

good morning...

oh... ampule is like moisturiser. so a face with enough "water" no need tat... hmmm... then i must be more hardworking and use moisturiser everyday. keke... hope i'm determined enough this time.

i've already given up on exercising. haha! only did the "holding bottles" one once. a few rounds of push-ups. heee...

smurfy... u still doing all the exercising?

Chris Ling also never charge for transport. i heard from my frens... he'll drive us ard.

i'm sourcing for a bridal car too. heard must be gold or silver?

 

[pageup]

Good Morning ladies,

Ocean, think it is a good idea to check out what kind of eyelashes your makeup artiste has. I think you can easily get the common ones outside at $15 for 3 pairs.

For budget thing, guess we got no choice lor. Got to compromise a dream wedding with $$$ mah. Don't want to start a marriage with huge amount of debts right? Afterall wedding is only one day event whereas marriage is a lifetime.

ladies, I think I saw a thread on bridal car rental, but I can't remember where is it.
Bluelake, think the color of the car doesn't matter lah. although I heard from old people that it must be some kind of luxury car like mercs.

Will be able to see my photos this weekend, really hope they turn out well. Also hope the photographer manage to 'hide' my fat arms and tummy well.

Only 4 more months to go, not sure got enough time to lose those extra fats without having to go through extreme dieting plan.

 

[smurfy]

Hi Blue Lake,

I kinda relax with my "beauty/toning/slimming" treatments after my PS..haha... lazy oso.. did the dumb bells once every other day and had not been going jogging after my PS..

So good, u had got Kai and Chris Ling.. must let us see your photos har..

Talking about bridal car, last weekend saw a black car as the bridal car.. think it really depends on the couple's preference and budget..

Hi all,
My BS package includes fake eye lashes and E210 merc on the AD, so I need not pay anything.

 

[sindylee]

hi yo yo
aaaiiii we really one come the other go...
i come back on 8 you going on 9 ...
but then u can catch Matrix before you go...

Hi Twinkleglint,
My flight is 6:30 pm hehehe purpose ask for the last flight so spend ROM night there ...

 

[garfield33]

Hi!
Yes! I'm feeling wat ya gals are feeling! Excited but also abit concern abt fittings. Esp. it being my 1st... hope i can find a gown which i like!

Gebbera - may i know wat's yr gown design? ie. bustier? sleeveless?

Poox - So excited hor! I'm also like u now.

Hi ihippo! Guess u better start to book now if poss. esp. dinner as weekends tends to be taken up v. fast.
When is yr big day? ;0)
