(2006) Brides of year 2006

hi rach,
yup so gonna find the geomancer to see if what i can do to make the date favorable to us.. coz from webbie like not good =|

hi ks,
thanx for ur reference, will find them after cny heeh.. now very bz =| u going for number what geomancer in the list u compile from the info provided by sashamama.

hi nelle,
hehee yah lor.. ppl mention "getting married is NOT 2 pplz biz" hehe! i truely agree! =P
 


Dear Anna,

i don't have the timing leh... thot maybe just find a timing which is convenient like... 9am... ? As for an chuan, etc.. thot we could just flip Tong Shu ourselves.. and look for dates that says "suitable for an chuan".. and we'll do it.. : )

maybe not that you are not well informed lah.. their thread in singaporebride forum is also quite inactive.. so maybe really not much people know abt it... also got to know becoz my FH happened to flip thru the wedding photo of his friend when he attended her wedding...

Hopefully, its good.... just get to know a person who have engaged their service and going through the PS soon.... so hope to get more info from her...

Dear Rusty,
that's assuring enuff... like i said to Anna, it seems that little people know abt Xzen... urs is MTM or OTR?
 
Hi all,
Thanks for your feedback. I will go peek at GCW this sat. I will not be using the big ballroom with garden. My target table will be ard 25. So will be considering the smaller ballroom. I will most likely go for PP.

As for BS, I dont plan to sign any package. I haver already brought my WG...will find photgraphers, MUA etc seperatly.

So stressful to prepare for wedding...just the banquet alone is giving me a lot of headache.
 
hey koi, dun have to feel stress, once u get ur hotel, everythg will be fine. actually 25 tables is quite easy to find. but u have to cater a place where they can hold more than 25 in case that you may have increase by then.
 
Hi everyone!
Im so glad to find this thread! me blur blur didnt see got one started liao..thanks to SK2 that highlighted to me
happy.gif
And..haha..so interesting to see that got quite a few AD same same as mine!

Cindy, Rusty, Anna and SK2, me also on 8 Jan 06!
For myself, have already settled banquet venue. NOw searching for BS. Let's see..any suggestions??
 
hi slpy,
actually me same as u, got our desired date liao. wanted go along with the date. But my mum say its better to find out if the date is suitable for marriage anot. So will go ask the geomancer. So I need not a very good date.

Havent decide on the geomancer yet. Will discuss with FH first. But I'm aiming No 11. If not, the one at Changi one can also try. But I lost the mail sent to me. It stated the address and tel no. I just formatted my PC and didnt keep the mail.So you aiming at which geomancer listed above?

Zen..do you have the address to that geomancer we refering to in the beginning? Can sent to me?
[email protected]!
 
hehe ks,
i am also aiming no 11.. but need to bring mil along too ba i guess...
but website mention our date is not very gd.. so hope the geomancer can advise us on what the do/donts so we can have it on the day we want.
really hope to have rom and ad on the same date.. =|
 
Hi all!
Thanks for all ur feedback! Guess what?! I've made my booking and paid a deposit to Hyatt today. Reason being, like what pimply said, its more accessible since my AD is on a weekday...

Hi Pimply,
Great that we're holding our wedding on the same day! Did you consult any geomancer for this date? Any chance that you're holding urs in Marriotts?? so we can be neighbours... heh heh..

Hi Koi/Anna,
Even before the new price came up this year, I already tried calling Hyatt up late last year to book but they said i've to wait for the new wedding package. Also tried asking Cynthia, the wedding coordinator, hoping to wait till bridal show but she said she's not aware of any coming up..
sad.gif
Didn't want to be left with no available hotel, i decided to sign there and then... hopefully its not a rash decision...
 
hi racherlle,
our q no is 14.
we r looking at 5 room unit
still cannot make up our mind on which unit to choose. will discuss with my hubby tomorrow after work.
BTW, just to inform you, the security guard allow us to go into the site and take a look. Maybe you can try go there and take a look.
Actually i did took the brochure for last yr apr WIS. some unit r the same and worst part, price increase by ard 15k.
 
Hi twinks,
I am very happy for u...since u decided liao..dont look back....what is impt is that u and your FH like it.

Hi Merzy,
welcome on board
happy.gif


Hi sk2,
now i have a new problem....my FH suggest taking the river room instead. This room can only hold max 18 tables. that means we can only invite 180 pax to banquet while the rest can only invite to church wedding in the afternoon. Do you think is wise?
 
hi fruitFLIEStoo,

any idea whch r the shps whch does customised rings?so i cn go chk it out..
happy.gif


hi idy,

so envious of ya..actually managed 2 gt urs fm dem..mi finger size's oni 6,the smallest dey haf is 8
sad.gif
mi prob nw's mi FH,he doesnt fancy any fm plcs like soo kee,lee hwa,goldheart,aspial etc.we've viewed rings fm these plcs bt he finds dem 2 common
sad.gif
 
hi bluegal!

u r so lucky to get such a front Q no! u got the news before the media release ah?
happy.gif

hmmm okie.. so u r looking at 5rm.. hmm ya i have already noted that there are significant increases in the prices of the flats as compared to the WIS in 2004..
i tink the only unit that appears in last year's WIS is #20-333 rite? i remembered last year's price was ard 230k.. now it's 239,400 rite? gee! horrid!!
which is the unit that increase by 15k?? really curious!

oh ya.. u might wan to take note that those units like Blk 466B (unit 333)facing the industrial estate.. it faces the afternoon sun.. which can b quite hot.. but they are the only 5rms that hav an unblocked view.. the rest are facing the opposite blk of flats....

however, this time round.. majority of the units are above #10.. so it's quite a gd choice.. and since u r so early in the Q.. shld be able to get the choice unit u wan.. tink most of them shld b aiming the 4rms..
happy.gif
 
hi racherlle,
it was advertise in the newsapaper so immediately inform my hubby to go get the Q no.
Oops i saw wrongly, i thought i saw the price for 20-333 last year was 21Xk.
Really, so happy to hear ur encouragement cos we only shortlist 3 units.
mind sharing with me which block and unit you taking?
 
hey Jelyn,

i get your point now. you want unique designs.. agree with fruitFLIEStoo, takashimaya has a number. or you can try Oriva (i think its spelt like that) @ Scotts shopping centre. They also have a counter at takashimaya.

Have you tried Larry's @ paragon?

i had same problem as you when choosing our ring. We went to every retail shops, my FH will reject, reason same as your FH.

good luck in your ring searching.
 
hi bluegal!

hehe ohh no wonder i was tinking which unit u were toking abt... coz i went thru my WIS 2004 price list and only noted 20-333 was the only repeated unit
happy.gif


ohhh so which are the 3 units that u hav shortlisted? care to share w me? u can email me at [email protected]
then we discuss more!
happy.gif


oh ya btw try to get level 16 and above.. coz they have full length windows in their MBR and living room
happy.gif

the rest only have full length windows in the living room..
 
hi bluegal..
i went thru all the units...
personally i prefer those that are unblocked (even though there is afternoon sun).. or in the corner.. dun get those in the middle.. coz u will hav problems getting ur clothes dry.. the kitchen is sort of hidden inside.. and blocked by the other units.. eg. #319
these are the units that i prefer..
wonder if they are the same as urs
happy.gif


Blk A #17-321
Blk B #16-333, #20-333
 
Hi Cindy,
I am given the option of MTM or choose from their range of VIP designs, not the usual OTR ones. Me not the design kind so might choose from their VIP design

Hi Koi,
Read that you are considering GCW. Some personal opinions: I have been there for 2 wedding dinners at their grand ballroom. Food are fabulous. Service not bad ;P
 
oh ya.. if u are considering the 4rm which i feel is more worth it for the $$..

these are the units which I tink it's gd!
happy.gif

no blockage..

Blk A #17-315, #17-317
Blk B #17-327
Blk C #16-337
Blk D #17-357
 
Hi Twinks

so happie for u..u have managed to find the venue..
we are still sourcing..gave ourself a deadline to end march..
hope there are promotions going on...

just been to marriotts last yr for frens' wedding..find it so-so, but will keep it as a option though...

my date..its choosen by my FH's parents..
so we just go on w it and its cheaper to have dinner on wkday...
need so much money for weddding...
 
cool
oh dear.. so sorry i am not sure how i can help as the geomancer is in malaysia as fh side is from malaysia. done by my fh mum. so i am not sure.

merzy
which hotel venue did you book?

twinks
yup agree that you shld not look back cos who knows if you din book you might not get yr date!
for me we held back cos fh jumped!!! when he saw the new price! ;p
 
Hi all brides to be,
Sorry that i MIA for so long. Was busy with work. So surprised to see the thread growing so long.
I have also went geomancer to get my date all fix up. Dun really know that there is so many rule to follow, such as the direction to face after alighting the bridal car etc. Have your girls choose your gown already? Seem like we better start early.

Hi Bluegal, nice to another french brides. I also sign up a package with them. Have you went to their shop yet? How is your package like? Care to share by pm-ing me? How you choose your hotel yet?
 
Hi pimply,
Personally i have beeen to marriotts wedding show and their bridal suite. The ballroom is nice and rest assured that you will be the only wedding couple to held the wedding there. As for the suite, i find that is it nothing great. I been to other hotel that are much better then this.

Went to attend a wedding dinner before and had a not so good impression abt the food and service. The waiter who was clearing the table accidently pour the gravy onto my clothes.
sad.gif
 
Hi Merzy03
Welcome!.. hehe.. reali interesting.. we can start a new thread next yr talking abt anniverary.. ahhahaha

Hi Koi,
I sggt you talk to ur FH, ur parents and ur future-IL ensure tat they are fine. Even if they are fine, you still need to consider having 1 or 2 table as spare. u knw tis is once in a lifetime, i personally dun like to restrict to create unhappiness, moreover, without proper planning, u may spend even more if there is a need to change venue. I am the last to get married among my frens, and have been involve in many prep, the "best" part of it is, usually parents love to say, "oh, we are fine" and closer to date, u will have extreme request. To me, I dun like last min arrgments, I find it very stressful, I always like to have contingent plan. So restricting yourself now is not wise unless you are very sure that the list you have for your church wedding will not appear at dinner. I'm just worry that last min, ur parents or ur ILs will want their frens and relatives to attend dinner as well (after listening to peoples' comment), then you will be in trouble.
 
Halo Racherlle!

How's Goodwood Park? nice ambience?

I read abt it from the Grand Hyatt thread. they were sayin it's classy n elegant. But somehow worried the elders might think it's an inauspicious colour.

Sentosa's a good idea! Away from the city, wonderful scenery!
 
Hi gals, yes yes..think it's quite funny. SK2, consider the 1 year anniversary later thread. haha.

So I gather that quite a few gals have not found their wedding venue rite? Muz source fast. I think I was down to GCWF, Orchard and RTP for that date, coz some other places I like all taken up liao!! Personally, I did love GCWF, coz the ballroom is really lovely. But overall, as I didnt go with any Her World or was it Female bridal show package, it's quite ex... So im now with RTP! Errm...is there anyone one else with it?? Scuddy we can meet up on the same day! LOL..

Anna and Rusty, guess I answered your question liao
happy.gif
Can share where are your banquet and BS?? Me in the midst of looking for BS..really need some opinions......
 
hi idy..

yah lor,mi FH's the 1 who wans the dsigns 2 b unique..so farni rite?tot usually we women r the fussy 1s bt itz mi man whoz givg mi a headache nw.. ;p 10s 4 the recommendatns,wil go chk tis plcs out!!

Hi Lilacblur

I am aiming at 7th Oct 2006 as my actual day. Now currentl;y sourcing for hotel and BS. I have a big headache... cos my ROM have not decide yet till now... Quite blur how to go about starting it. Moreover, have to find ways to slim down first... hiaz... my FH had fed me way too much and becos of medication, I am having a serious water retention problem..
sad.gif


Moreover, my buddies are now in overseas and dunno if they can every make it to my ROM and actual day... Hiaz... means no jie mei..... BIG HEAD now..
sad.gif
 
merzy
what is RTP? so you have confirmed your venue? is it on 8 jan as well?
me hv mot booked my venue yet cos fh jumped when he saw the raise in prices!!! so we are waiting for big sales... hahahhaa.

as for bs, we have only placed deposit for the malaysia one. we are still shopping for a sg bs. i went to see frederick lee but i must say that while the workmanship is gd the designer is really unhelpful and unwelcoming. i went to read the frederick lee thread and there are some other brides there that think so too. you can go visit the thread. other than that, i hv not gone for any other appts. which bs hv you shortlisted?
 
hi anna,
most wedding show is in mar/apr, i sggt u go and see and place tentative
booking. and confirmation to be done during wedding show (if any) bcos
nw to place book is too late, mine was initially tis oct, but bcos we
cant get the place that is why it is being postpone to next jan. my
geomancer say i m too late. in addition, i heard from Hilton sales mgr,
she was telling me 8 jan seem to be a good date, which means that after
my booking, she may have gotten alot of calls requesting for tat date
 
hi janna!

goodwood park gives me a very english kind of feeling.. so if u r looking for tat kind of feel.. tink it will b gd! and moreover, gdwood park has only 1 ballroom.. so when u have ur wedding there.. the whole hotel is like urs!
happy.gif

but the only minus point is it can only hold up to a max of 23 tables..
personally i feel that the hotel is too old..
u can juz walk in and ask the co-ordinator.. i did tat too! hehe she's very nice
happy.gif
 
hmm.. u planning to have ROM & customary on the same day? then you will be very stress.. for me, my ROM over already, and because of my ROM, BS has been settled, cause i used the gown and makeup for my ROM
happy.gif
one thing down...

dun worry too much, now only early 2005.. we still have more than 1 yr to go.. can slowly shop
happy.gif
i'm also controlling my diet!! we both jia you!! hehehe but u must remember to take care.. i think diet plays a important part.. take lots grapefruit also.. take note that it must be quite strong for gastric
happy.gif


i guess you need to settle one thing at a time.. BS and venues both difficult to choose, y not u n your hubby choose one each, u decide BS, he decide venue?
 
Hi idy n Jelyn,

Wa io see buying rings like buying house ya. haa
Well, guys wear rings for longer periods and most rings are quite incline to female taste therefore guys will want a ring that is simple manly and nice.

Yep, i think cool is right.. the prices will not drop.. unless u can afford to wait for their bridal show... even for hotels such as pan pac and oriental, their prices have risen toO!
 
Hi cool,
he charge me $80. he gave me quite a number of dates but that is provided the dates are available for you. (include FH, parents and IL) I told him I wanted sat and sun only, so with my DOB, I got 4 dates in total. And he will tell u wat time to avoid and wat zodiac to avoid for the day. I oso ask him to prority the better date in front for me. In case you or anyone needs to contact him, here is the contact
Danny Cheong - 67450023 Location: Eunos/Ubi (Sori I forgot exact location)

Ladies,
None of the prices of any hotel will drop. In hotel practices, each year there will be a raise of 3% - 5%. Worst or best scenario is hotel will maintain the price. But do eye for wedding show, that is the time where you get more perks, ie. 2 nites stay, free flow beers etc.
 
hi merzy,
My banquet at si chuan dou hua restaurant at uob plaza and the hotel room provided is at Plaza Park Royal. I'm trying to get it change to Grand Plaza Park Royal. Great place, gd fd and nice ambience. BS is Sophia Wedding Collection.

Rusty, I did went to see the si chuan dou hua place..hehe..not too bad..very high floor and nice view. Only thing is probably wun be able to march in that nicely? Not sure..hope u get the hotel that you want then!

And ya, agree that all the 2006 prices went up! Most hotels have raised their prices. Perhaps if get with some bridal package might be better. Grand Hyatt is like so ex..last time 800 over, now 900 over close to 1000!!

Btw, how come on top of this thread it says it's closed??
 
Wow SK2, your is so much cheaper than mine. I pay abt $200 for the geomancer to "calculate" the date for me.

Agree with SK2 that it impt to place a tentatively booking on the date first. Just in case if there is any couple who wanna your date, the bqt manager will at least called you to see if you are still interested.

Merzy03, think this appear in all thread...not to worry
 
Dear all!

Glad to @@ so many Jan 06 brides around. I tot there may not be many Jan 06 brides around becos of the Rooster year.

My AD is on 7 Jan 06. Started planning since end Dec 04 and realised it is really a hassle to throw a wedding banquets dinner. So much calling and site visiting.....

Now looking at BS. Anyone heard of Silverlining??
