(2006) Brides of year 2006

hi diminished sixth,

which studio you visit? cos chris ling got 3 studios right? 55 tras street, 55a tras street and 50 saunders road.
 


Hi Dapimon,

I have also wanted to choose a weekday. I did a survey with my friends and relative and most of them dont favor the idea. But I set a thread- weekday wedding under Banquet and get good feedback on weekday. I guess it's really depends on your guest. If more friends without kids then shouldnt be a problem.

Hi StarryNight,
Thanks for your advise. Out of impluse, I have laready brought my wedding grown!.. now I need to sort out my photography, makeup, videography etc. and our wedding day is just 1 day apart...have you confirm your venue and BS yet?
 
Hi Koi,

Yeah, i so excited as our wedding is one year away from now. Seem that we can learn a lot from each other during our preparation.

Gald to heard that you have already settle your gown. Where did u buy it from? What abt your evening gown? I already book my BS and will be going to choose my gown after CNY. Why don't u sign up with a BS? Then u have less to worry. Now I'm worried getting OTR gown. Heard a lot of bad story abt that. As for banquet venue, i have shortlisted a list and have tentatively place a book but have not pay deposit yet.
 
Hey, hey, lourdes,

Kekeke. You already indicated that you wanted Grand Copthorne right? Don't scare me lah.

How many tables are you thinking about? Errrm... as for whether it's a good day, I have no idea. We're not that superstitious. Initially, I wanted 24/09/05 but it fell on a Sunday.

We went to the studio at 55 Tras Street. It's quite cozy with its bright yellow walls. First we studied all the photos hanging on the wall and took note of the ones we liked, then we made Kelvin point out all the photos that were taken by him. They all matched! So we knew we found our photographer. I dunno but I heard that the previous promo's in Oct. were excellent (they were having a $1500 pkg by Kelvin). It's a pity we only went down at their recent open house. We went way over budget. But no choice, we both really liked what we saw.

Walked past Divine Couture this weekend. They weren't open prob because it's by appt only. Most of their gowns are the bustier type which doesn't really suit me coz I'm not reed thin. How're the gowns at Silverlining? Do they emphasize on the front or the designs on the back? Do they specialize in lace, appliques, beading, embroidery, cutting or others?
 
haiz... now i still need to see other ballrooms before really decide 100% on waterfront.

silverlining emphasize mainly on the back, their gowns are really great and nice!

go visit jit when you are free, you won't regret...

Hi StarryNight,

I brought it in impluse. I just tried and like it. It's from Irene's creation and I pay $1600 for it. Is it worth it? I have not visited any other BS so I am not sure what is the market rate. We didnt sign up the package as my FH feel that their photography is not so impressive...
Who did you book your BS with? Yup I heard a lot of bad reports of MTM too... I guess if you can find a suitbale one OTR than maybe it's better to take it.

For venue, I have also shotlisted a few and should be confirming by next week.
 
hiya diminished_sixth~

agree with lourdes, u should make an appointment with Jit
happy.gif
he's also tied up with Kelvin.

heard from quite a few brides that his style is similar to Divine and is more affordable

happy.gif
 
rainne, yaya... so i understand fully how you feel now... but dun worry, looking at the rate, u got no prob one.. all the best!!!

to the rest of gals, so how everybody preparation?? Guess i will start to visit some of the Bs this wkend.. set my eyes on divine couture, but hope to c got other choice or not.. cheaper ones.. but i damm broke wif my hse n reno plus rom coming.. must start cut down my expenses liao..
 
ya ya, i was thinking of the same.. The details for the perks are not out yet. But i have made a tentative booking for the Siloso ballroom. =)
 
Hi lilacblur,

Ok, will check out Silverlining.

No lah, my dates are also not confirmed yet either. I'm quite flexible. I don't even mind dates with a 4 in it.

When do you think we should book our venue?
 
hi akoyo!

great! so u have chosen Rasa too!
happy.gif

yup i've made the tentative booking in October 2004! haha KS rite? hehe was so afraid that the Pavilion was taken up!
happy.gif

so when is the date that u've chosen?? on the 7th May???? one week exactly earlier than mine! yeh! so we can discuss! hw many tables are u looking at??
did u have a look at The Sentosa Resort & Spa too?? it's lovely too!
happy.gif
 
Nope i did not went to the Sentosa Resort & Spa.. Can probably drop by some other day.
Yupz, on the 7th May ! We were actually having some difficulties on deciding on this date. As usual, the auspicious thingy.. Parents feel that it is impt to get a good for a marriage. But we managed to convince them that it is a good date, thro some websites. Hehhe.. Not sure how accurate will that be as compared to the Tong Shu.
We were actually looking at 26-27 tables. But then after viewing the Siloso, we decided that it is worth taking the risk.. The number of guest will prob increase when nearer to date..
Nope, i don't think we can engage the JP until we confirm our venue and timing right ? What is the solemnisation timing that you are looking at ? around 630pm ?

Hi angel,

you can see the newspapers, they will advertise one. Now there is a BTO going on, for Sengkang and Punggol. If you are interested, u can apply for it.

The exercise was held somewhere in Nov for application.

rainne, congrats.. so happy for u!!! u must b planning wat kind of design u wan for ur hse right??

angel, i got my unit via balloting too..in amk though, wat abt u??
 
Hi all,

I have booked my venue.. : ) at Orchid country club.. that's one task down.. and more to go...
Now concentrating on finding BS..
recently have just visited X-zen... trying to find out more from people who experience working with them... hope to confirm by end of Jan
 
hi rainne, blur
icic...wah u gals almost there eh? for me, cn only apply end of the yr n tot of doing thru wis coz nt sure hw balloting goes n mayb wis is faster? but i suppose flats under wis are leftovers ...mmm...see hw it goes in the next few mths...trying to find out more over here. heh...
 

We have decided to do it at the lawn area. But i am not how will it be like if there is renovation during that period. My coordinator has made a tentatively booking for me for the lawn as well.
My coordinator has suggested if at that time, we feels that the lawn area is not suitable, we can have it in one of the function room beside Siloso..
