hi ginger,
i have decided on Wedding Present. Went to see the gowns and tried them and liked them so much i wish i could sign up sooner. Everything about the whole shopping experience was really good so we decided to just stick with them. but they were like so nice and asked us to shop around more and come back when we have decided. sweet........

Hi Ooshie...
Yah... I agree that Wedding Present is good. I also fall in love with their gowns but then my FH is like mumbling... Not practical etc... Dunno. In the end, sign up with Yvonne Creation and well, their service not bad after all.
For gowns, I dun have to worry that much because I had done some designs... and wanted YC to make it for me.

Hi Rainne,
Yup the $4638 is inclusive of ROM package of $450, original package without ROM is $4188.
Andrew choi package with dang would cost $4988
all mtm dress as stated and for andrew choi package only 20 pcs of 8"x 12" ablum and 1 cd rom of selected shots.
thus quite costly.
Hi Deremi,
Dang can lend me a add'l of kwa with no charges for photo shoot. besides that u can bring ur own casual wear to shoot.

Hi Ooshie!! I already try to psycho my FH for the past 3 months for The Wedding Present but then he is very firm with it... NOT PRACTICAL. My FH is not very very easy to psycho ( guess all the engineers are like this ) and till now, he still cannot finalize which hotel he wants...
Well, its okay since I manage get to find a "practical" BS and most importantly I am comfortable with them.
Hi Timminbuzz!! Yes, my AD is same as yours... which bridal shop are you considering? Hilton hotel... how many tables do you intend to have?? Is the food tasty in Hilton and how about the pricing??

Hi Shelyn,
My solemination will be done in a church in the afternoon, followed by the dinner banquet. My church pastor will preside over the ceremony. Problem is my home church has no space, so i have to look for other church venue. Other churches only allow 6mths advance booking fm non-members so as to give priority to their own members...so i can't book it now. Price is also more ex for non-members.
Haven't settle banquet...headache ah... cos i only got 180-190pax. Have been scouting around since last week. Parents/old folks said hotel more posh but food only so so, restaurant food better but place may look chenna. You got any good restt recommendations (preferably convenient location)?
BS not yet. Any idea which BS is good & about $3K package?
Same here...No hse yet...Applied for Queenstown balloting. What r your plans?

Hi Rainne,
Think MTM at least need 6 mths.
If u want the price list of dang MTM i can email you. Didn't ask Bin Bin the person in charge to email the OTR pricing, but if u r interested, just call and drop by to try on some gown. On my first visit have tried like around 3 gowns and also brief abt the prices, but Bin Bin is quite friendly, not pushly for sales type, thus after visiting all the boutique i shoftlisted, went down another day to sign up with dang.

Morning ChaiYo...
dun kill fantasy .... so cruel
anyway just some minor research that i did myself
my total pacakge will be $5,188
consisting of
MTM WG (best part)
MTM EG
tea dress (i think!)
MTM men's suit
flowers etc
make up etc
free kua rental
and all those mini things such as rental of accessories etc
+ studio & outdoor Photography with Andrew Choi!! (the next best part)
+ AD photography with Image Garden (the other best part)
So i calculated if i minus off Andrew Choi
a la carte package is about 2K
and i minus off image garden
a la carte package is about 2K
that leaves me just paying $1188 for the best gowns and tip top service from Wedding present
so all in all , as we are particular with photography and service, we dont mind paying abit more than usual for the 'not practical' package
you can check out the various websites before deciding on the photography also ... 'most importantly is that we all have a wonderful wedding day!
cheers to all 06/06 brides!!!

Hi Ladies !!
Chaiyo > His NOT PRACTICAL means too ex for MTM gowns and when I am using my own designs. And pictures is not taken by Andrew Choi himself, it is taken by his associates. If Andrew Choi is taking pictures, then he is charging at 4K +++ Anyway, if you can afford, the truth is wedding present is a good BS. It depends on how generous ur FH is. Mine sure salty olive.
Anyway, I dun mind about which BS so long the workmanship is good. At least I can work well with YC staffs.

Hi ginger ... didnt know its not andrew choi himself taking the photos coz when i asked for the package they specifically said that it would be andrew choi himself leh ... damn .. i better double check thanks for the note man ...
you making your own designs?? cool man ... are you a designer by profession or something? what is it going to be like .. i think its extra satisfying to wear something that you painstakingly designed yourself ....

Yoz ladies!
I noe its not nice to kill fantasy but my FH is making me to do that. I actually sign up wif Whitelink during the taka roadshow (out of impulsive i guess) and lack of research. Becos we were visiting the hotels when we passby taka. Anyway, my FH feels all BS is the same. No point wasting time to 'search' for one ...
Its was then i start to read on BS where pple were toking abt the bad service and blar blar blar ....
Indeed demoralising though ...
But mine is a MTM package so I can still have my dream gown!!!

Hi Ooshie,
I studied Fashion in NAFA before. This time round, I wanna make my own WG, EG and teadress. Yah, I feel happy that I can wear something whereby I designed myself and that is y my FH wants me to work on some designs that belongs to me only and in this case, workmanship is important. Therefore he thinks that it is not practical to get TWP as our BS.
Hi Chaiyo, you know GUYS... no matter how hard you tried to convince them ( even treat them extra nicely) `, they are too stubborn to take in what you wants. At least, yours is a MTM package but at the same time make sure no hidden cost.
I am planning to hold my banquet dinner in the PINE CLUB. Any comments about this???

hihi gin,
i am new here, getting married next yr sept, so was looking ard then saw this. in fact my concern is the same as rainne too... will we give them the impression that we want to buy from them, when actually i only want to try on the gowns to choose and have better understanding of the diff salons.
i also realised that u holding ur wedding at intercontinetal hotel? in fact i also tot of holding it there and most likely its confirm. how much does it cost for the matrimony and dinner there ha?

Hi Rainne,
Actually it's fine to try the gowns, I went to a couple of bridal shop and have tried their gowns as well. Actually the sales staff will know you need time to shop around and will most likely ask you to try and see their gown as visually seeing a gown is not good enough, you need to try on to see how it looks like.
Hi Shine,
For ROM mine is a lunch so will be more exp than Hi tea. Quoted my budget to the co ordinator and they try to set a special menu catering to our budget, so it's $41 per person, min 30 pax.
As for dinner, still waiting to attend the her world bridal show first then we'll cfm, as there may be more perks on the bridal show with Interconti.

Hey Ginger, my FH n I were toking abt the pines last nite. I was sliping thru the mag then i mention it to him. Wat written in the mag (Style Weddings) seems sweet but the price I not sure if its worth it anot. I am looking at weekend rates 588++ n 688++. From wat I see from the webby, the ballroom seems to have low ceil though.

Hi Chaiyo,
I have got their packages already. The Pinetree wedding coordinator had actually emailed us yesterday. The dishes seems to be okay... ( allow us to mix ) and more over it is only 588++ ( no 10% service charges ) Total up about $623 per table.
My cousin in fact had already visited this place and she said the ambience is very beautiful. Garden cocktail reception and then follow by traditional chinese dinner. The dinner will be managed by the Hong Kong chef and the club assure us on their quantity of food.
We will be heading down next week ( saturday ) to view the ballroom. Probably will be able to take some pictures.

Dear Agnes,
Same feeling...i like WL photo lor that why i was tempted to sign them on the spot at Style Wedding bash. Some more they throw in quite a lot of stuff + disc. But FH held me back. Think i'll go to their outlet and look at their gowns 1st b4 commiting anything. Must share share your info, ok?
Dear shelyn,
Toa payoh very hot leh. U applying for the 4 or 5 rooms?
I find resale also not cheap, but looking on the bright side mayb can find one more easily accessible with amenities. Last resort is stay at rented pl for time being..not attractive option. Don't know when will i get my dream home....

hi ginger,
I contacted June frm Hilton, and she seems really nice and their price is good for me ($780). I'm not putting a lot of emphasis on the banquet dinner cos my main focus is the church wedding. So I'm just looking for a place to fit everyone in and yet not blow my pocket.
As for BS, I'm leaning towards Margaret's Bride. I love lace! =) And she seems to be really good with lace. But I'll just sit back and relax until Sept, before I make my decision. Look around a bit more.
Wanted to ask what kind of cost am I looking at if I dun want studio and outdoor photography, no makeup, no flowers and no car deco. Basically looking for MTM WG, MTM EG, MTM Suit. Anyone knows?

hi gals
i went to 2 bs this wkend...
dang
i did not get to talk to dang cos she was busy designing with some clients but she sure looks quite aunty to me. anyway..my appt was at 3. i tried some egs - all cheongsams cos i think that is her specialty...so far so gd except that i decide i do not like cheongsams. then at 3.15 when i asked to try some wg... i was told it was not possible as the next appt was here... 15 mins after my appt??? anyway bad impression plus i think the wg there is really cannot make it at all. to add to it, the location of the place is so out...the only plus is that she is cheap when compared with the other designers.
ted wu
i was late for this one cos i visited montage next door. as it is, i did not manage to see ted, only met his assistant. tried some gowns... i certainly dun like the style nor do i like the silver thread embroidery.. plus point is he is surprisingly cheaper than silhouette....so ted wu is out the window as well...
fh says i am too fussy... bad being a perfectionist in everything... anyway so now 2 more bs out the window. that leaves me with silhouette and frederick lee- really like his flowers but his attitude sucks... so if i can find no one else i like i might try him again and see if there is attitude improvement, oh yes btw: fred is cheaper so thats another plus.
will update again next wk.
