KK
Your wedding is on the 30th Oct? If so, we are very near to each other... juz across the street.. my church service will start at 6pm... followed by dinner at the same place.
 


Nickel,

Me and hubby try to work within our means. We try to make it simple and that everyone will enjoy the day. doing special things for them too. I guess they are want us to be financial burden. at the end of the day, what will be left are memories and not bills of these and that. Life begins after wedding. We dun want to burden ourselves. There is family to plan too.
Trust God.

Babysheep,

You take care too...

njoy it!
 
Chloe,

Mine is not on 30. Wanted to but. a lot of places we want is fully booked.

Your timing should be ok, if you indicate that there is a dinner thereafter. I think the people will know and pay accordingly.
How many people you inviting for the services and dinner. are they the same pool of people.
Mine dinner 200. services 50. Selective people for services. People whom we know very well.
 
Lucky you, have already settled on the house already.

For me, have not even start reno yet, so very rush. come to time of it, only left with 3.5 months to complete everything. Luckily will not be inviting ppl to my new house on AD, so long as can stay inside can already, no need to be fully furnished
 
Hi Mandy,

I read from the London Cab Thread that there is a promotion which charges $400+ & if there are 5 brides requesting to rent, the px will be cheaper ... have u heard about that?

I am interested in the pink colour one ...
 
hi gals,
happy.gif


i can't comment on nubra cuz i myself not yet tried it... but about the size, u only have to worry about the cup size, since it is only stick on on the front. I will try my usual size and see how. i dun expect much push-up, but I think i just want to fill out a bit in my gowns and not feel bare.
happy.gif


Chole & Kk
me oso 30 Oct!
happy.gif

Chole, did u want lunch or dinner at Sentosa? me holding at rasa but its a lunch..
happy.gif


Nickel
i know how you feel...understand - cheer up
happy.gif

you r rite, we will go thru ups and downs... FH n me sometimes want nicer things, but we just look for good alternatives, and refrain from spurlging.. sometimes, we just say, we can aim for it (like some car) and maybe get it a few years later...
happy.gif


I guess for some of us its a lot of spending suddenly at one go... for me it is, cuz house, wedding, reno all in same few months.. so the shock of the bills wil definately HIT us bad..
sad.gif

I just hope I will manage our funds rite and delay whichever purchase that can be delayed..

hope we will not quarrel on such things like Finance... u n FH too.. we r just starting a new phase of our lives - kampatei! (jia you!)
 
Thanks Nickle - see u next week with smiling face
happy.gif


Chole
I dun think I can breakeven cuz its a lunch banquet... like what u said , some ppl would bao less ang bao... wat to do...
 
hi moonlight,

yap thats what me doing oso ... looking around and see what will voicz recommend .... me used the MTM tea dress for my ROM liao ... wanted to wear kua cos think its the only time in my life that i can wear something like this lor ....

hi HP,

21 Nov is a very very HOT date ... start of school holiday oso ... when we was looking around for hotel in Oct last year ... alot of them were booked already ....

hi peg76,

we staying on our own ... in fact we have already moved into our new place ... very diff from pak tor time ... now everyday just feel like going home to laze .... but got to do lotsa housework *yawn*
 
Hi Seabreeze,
I also realise that only once a life time to wear kua. So decided if PS that time can wear and capture so shots enuff.
 
hi eternity,
wow your PS is only 1.5 months away.. so exciting
biggrin.gif

ya, I agree, before PS sure to be very busy, going for facial, mani, pedi etc so that can be mei mei for PS mah
wink.gif

I’m with Silver Lining and dinner is at Chijmes.. photographer is Hilarion Goh
happy.gif


hi lala,
So glad to know that your timeline similar to mine
biggrin.gif
... actually my photographer wanted the PS to be in June but dun think my gowns will be ready by then so latest got to have the PS by early July
uhoh.gif


regarding the wedding car, me thinking of Beetle or London Cab too.. so coincidental that many of us have the same ideas
rofl.gif

my first choice is VW Beetle cos FH wanted to self-drive but so far only got contacts for the classic ones.. I prefer the new Beetle
happy.gif
.. I got some contacts for London Cabs (Champagne gold, Pink, Silver Allure & Passion Red) if you gals need... let me know
happy.gif
 
Hi lala,

I have heard of that... but where to find 5 ppl leh? i last time interested in getting london cab la.. but my BS provides car leh.. but i will be getting my uncle's car instead as his car bigger
happy.gif


I think that uncle should be able to introduce the other uncles to us...
True also lah.. if rent from TIBS they will ensure nothing goes wrong one lor...
 
Chloe,

200 people is ok. not too many. Per table cost less than 1000? (if you include the renting, deco, and other stuff) should be able to recover at least 75% of the cost. But it still depends who you are inviting. I have no control over my PIL. but have request them not to invite children. couples only. As for my side, I will invite people who are know me and hubby and good friends. Do so budgeting? At least you know how much you have to set aside. A lot of things you are not sure, write them down. You will have clearer pictures of the things you want. Rather than think about it.
Chjimes is a very nice place. I actually want to hold the services there. But was stop by hubby. It was way out of our budget. so got to forget it. But glad that you take up the place.
You will have a very enjoyable day that day. Trust me.
Need me help. Can PM me.

Bebe, me not 30. could not find a place so took. 9.
Me on 9
 
Moonlight,

sorry, saw the wrong name, i mean i envy HP.


actually, i would want to stay on our own for the initial months but i also know that i will be very unresonable to say that i dun want to stay at his parents' place, but i give in lor... hopefully it will be a short period of time. In the meantime, we will treat our new flat as a holiday home.
 
hi alexus,

u having church wedding at chijmes? or just the dinner??

same same as me... but my first choice is mini... we loved the look of it and we also wanted to self-drive...
happy.gif


wow, seems like a lot of contacts for london cab huh... if i really cannot find the ideal car, then probably fall back on london cab...
 
KK
Tks for yr advice and help... i actually sort of regretted booking chijmes... coz after careful calculation, i find that its quite ex... but what to do now that i've paid the deposit??

I am actually looking for a florist... anyone of u got lobang?
 
Hi Eternity!!

Hi lala,

ivory

sad.gif
Well, take more pic hor, then send to me to let me take a look.
happy.gif


nickel, bebe, chloe and those who'r thinking so hard abt $$
Everything in S'pore is so expensive, one simple wedding will cost at least $10K. a simple renovation and furnishing another $25K, sometimes it can be quite depressing. Between couple, $$ issue must be tackled and compromise at times. I also hv a very tight budget. So it's like prioritising the important one to buy/do first and postpone some later. Start small first.
happy.gif


Wedding Banquet if i can breakeven i'm more than happy but expecting maybe ard $2-3K loss as we are bearing the whole banquet cost by ourselves, no F&B sponsorship. and yes, must control myself not to top-up too much for PS. *grin*

and of cos, chatting in this forum so that we know where we can find gd deals and bargains

friendship and relationship will always come first lor, dun want to be unhappy becoz of money issue..
wink.gif


bebe..
yap..its like spending money like no one business lor..have to buy this and that..now i am taking things easy and working towards a more simple wedding, try to save if possible.. there will be bigger committment in future too..

chloe..
didnt have anything to share as i dun have a banquet but dun wori about the breakeven thing lor, guess will be okay..ur friends should know the market rate..dun think too much k..
chijmes is a good and nice place but its reali very exp lor..since u booked liao, then go ahead with it k..try to save or cut down on the others..me oso still looking for florist lor, the normal is ard $500-600, oso have to depend on the venue and flower type.. i think far east flora is good but i havent try, read from forum somewhere..
 
Chloe,

If I am not wrong, there is a penalty amount to pay of you din use their in-house florists. Got to check.
Other than flowers, you can actually decor with other stuff. Like balloons, ribbons.
Try to work out. If can, try to find your church's deco team to help out. can save a lot of money on that.
 
Hi Skylar,

must be very excited to get your keys lah .... yep, me & hubby did painting together, we did not ask friends to help, so every weekend will be painting sessions .... until I couldn't tahan, thought of weekend, then sian .... sooooo, really glad that the painting sessions are over. However now thinking back, we had lots of fun (like blasting music) ... hhahaha
As for the eveness of the walls, my HB was charged. I did the 1st coating, while he touched up with another 2 coats ....

No, my place is not zen like ... more of that of a minimalist. Simple with light colour furniture. Looks good but need lots of maintenance ... so foresee I should be maintaining my figure by doing household chores .... hhhhahahaha

So u & Eternity are neighbours ... so nice ... me also want to join in for kopi
biggrin.gif

alexus,
my gown should be fine to fit in a mini lah, but must be able to find one in the first place!!!

happy.gif



skylar,
say easy, do it difficult... my brother, my hubby and myself tried painting my parent's place before... can die ah... hahaha...
lol.gif

we thought before doing the painting ourselves to save $$ but in the end, give up on the idea like... too physically demanding...

i prefer to contribute in other details like coming up with the designs for our house, taking care of every detail, like the positioning of lighting, color combination...
happy.gif



lala,
yeah yeah... come la-kopi together... maybe end up with regular meetup session at someone's place... then can gossip gossip... one of my favourite past-time... hahaha....

hi all,

I also dont have bridal car provided in my package. Good ideal to rent a london cab. But is that spacious enough? i think of using 7 sitter car but worry that it is too high for brides to clim up leh. but it will be spacious if you close up the last row and push the chair backwards. Seems like renting a bridal is very ex leh and exclude deco somemore. Any ideal can those rented car drive in to JB? Need to pay extra for drive, petrol etc?
 
hi lala,

so did ur hub complained abt ur first coating bor? heheheee,.....
proud.gif
ya I know how it feels to paint lor, i tried to paint before, last time, when it reached the ceiling portion rite? I nearly die man! almost broke my neck doing it, hhahahaa....

Eternity,

ya, we can all la-kopi together man!! do a gathering of some sort maybe, thats a good idea!
bounce.gif
