(2006) Brides of year 2006


Hi Anna
u better think twice for fredick. bcos u have to take into consideration tat u will have to visit him a few times b4 ur AD. And if u dun look forward to the place.. it's quite a torture.
 
sk2
you're right.thks for reminding me... me so confused forgot that. in fact i think i post wrongly also cos i think ted wu is more exp than silhouette cos the groom suit not included.
 
Hi Bluegal,

My wedding on 15 Jan. She told me that I can have my photoshot in july (as i want to avoid taking it during the 7th month).

When I went last week, she was complaining that I dun have to come so early to select as there will be new batch of WG coming in during May/June. Anyway it good to go early as it help me to narrow down the type of gown I suitable.

Ya, I intend to MTM my EG. Does your package include both gowns MTM?
 
Hi Ginger, could u email me the package for the pines? [email protected]. Thanks .. Save me the hassle to call up them to ask them email me. Geez. Going to GWP tis sat .. Maybe can visit the pines as well

From wat i noe, preparation is like finding banquet venue, BS, videography n such. I also dunno leh. Wat I feel is maybe its still early to go into 'real' preparation now cos its more than a yr later event. Worry to commit early will result in regrets again ...
 
Hi Chaiyo,

You have got mail. My FH now dun want PineTree club... he thinks that it is too inaccessible for the guest.. He prefers hotel.

I agree with you but cannot help it but to get anxious and excited about sourcing for all these stuff.
 
Thanks ginger. I have check my mail liao. None of the menu hav suckling pig leh .. Well, my dad finds tat dish presentable mah ...
My FH and I cant decide between hotel or venues like pines club other than restaurants. I very particular abt accessibility cos personally I dun drive and I hate going to weddings that is so difficult to go hm after the dinner.
Hey! Seriously I tot I am the most excited June 06 bride. I ald went abt 10 over places to see the venues, signed up BS ald, research on videographers, buy brides mag to see gowns, tot abt where to go for PS and drag my FH to shop for wedding bands! Hehehe
But when pple ask, when's ur big day? I always gave a pai sei look.
 
Hi StarryNight,
My package only one MTM, can choose between WG or EG.
Oh then i better confirm my gown again during may/jun. Please keep me update. By the way, did they ask you to pay part of the money already?
During the agreement of contract, ur first payment you pay 50%? They wanna us to pay 50% lei but we only agreed to pay 1K first. How much is your package?
 
Hi Chaiyo,

I am also struggling between hotel and clubs. We consider about the accessibility for guests and convenience for us. My FH said that if we are holding it in a club, then how about all the barangs barangs??? We are going to move here and there... very troublesome. In hotel, you only require to take an elevator up to your suite and then come down to the ballroom again.

Heee.heee... my FH said I am too anxious already. One year and 3 more months to go before the Actual day. I kia su until call up almost every hotel and ask them to send their quotations. Seen a few venues... and went round asking people how and what to prepare... I have the same scenerio as urs.... when people asking me when is my big day.. I will tell them... Emmmm... June 24... not this year but 2006.
 
Budget is one of my factor as well. If we toking abt clubs, we save almost 200 each tbl so can minimise the loss on the banquet part. I went to see restaurant b4 of cos its not as class as hotels lah .. So we tot maybe clubs can be considered if the ambience is good.

BTW, u gals 'building' lovenest anywhere??? FH n I still waiting for ideal WIS ....
 
Hi gini,

u mean there is a bridal show coming up that is held by Interconti? i know one on 26,mar, but i cant make it, is there anymore by this hotel? i am really very interested... anyway i am thinkin of lokking ard at Milan wedding. i like the pic and the gowns. so will be going down this thurs to look look and maybe try try... but i am very afraid that they may have the impression that i will buy from them even though i alrdy kae it clear that i am goin to look look and see see only....
 
Hi Chaiyo,


Pardon me, what is WIS??

Lovenest... have to wait after Actual Day, my hubby may want to go back to Australia and work. He dun like singapore life style.
 
Hi,

I am new. Kinda confused how to use this forum. Heehee. I m a Feb 06 bride. Well at least I will be doing my ROM then. AD is April 07...

Am i at the right thread? I m kinda lost....
 
Hi Shine,

There'll be another one by intercontinental in Oct, as mentioned by my co ordinator. But it'll be their own bridal show, that means will only co host with one bridal shop only.
 
Hi Chaiyo...
Me and FH most prob am buying a resale flat in AMK. Most imptly cos there's a grant and it can be used for deposit.

Oh...went to see Hilton on Sat. My FH doesn't mind the Grand Ballroom. Most prob gg for that. Too lazy to look ard anymore and e price is reasonable.
 
Hi Timminbuzz,

So did they give you any additional perks with the wedding package?

HI Chaiyo,

My love nest will be opposite East Coast Seaside.
 
Hi Greta

I applied for 4 room.. cannot afford the 5-rm there lah. 4 room already so ex... 5 room i will pay until vomit blood ah...haha... that's why very slim chance.

Resale not cheap but can get grant mah. If buy Bt panjang near my parents can get 40k grant so after that quite ok.... Dun think i will choose to rent a place for my new home after wedding... will die die get a place hehe.....
 
Hi Bluegal,
I pay $500 during that day to sign the package. There after I pay $1000 when I go and and booked my MUA once I got my AD. Even this time round, I went to try the gowns and she wanna me to pay but we insisted that the gown are not selected yet, why must we pay. So we managed to push it back till May when I confirm my gown. BTW, my package is $3188. I will not take the bridal car and see if other stuff can argue for a rebate.
 
Can check with you Bluegal, how many photos you have in all? How much was your package?

I can have both gowns MTM and we manage to bargain 30 photos in all!
 
Hi Timminbuzz,

I used to live at AMK... Ave 5. Wat I can say is new flats there r ald ex .. let alone resale. But I still love there. Which area u looking at? So the grant can be used for the downpayment?

Hmmm .... I went to see Hiton weeks ago. Nice place if u dun mind the pillars. There was a wedding when I went there, Very grand. But I can't hit the min req. of 30 tbls
sad.gif
 
Hi Gingercat...
I haven't really sat down and negotiate yet. But there are a number of things that I wouldn't want, like cake, champagne, invites n favours. I think they're quite flexi, so shouldn't be a problem putting in other extras.

Hi Chaiyo...
I'm working near Ave 10, so looking for around this area. Cos it's near to bishan and AMK. 3rms r gg for abt $155k and 4 rms abt $200-250k. I think it's quite reasonable. And yes, the grant from buying resale can be used for downpayment.
Have you seen Intercontinental?
 
Hi Timminbuzz,

I wonder if u hav any idea abt the 4% cash potion of the downpayment that we need to pay in cash. So the grant can only help us wif the 16% of the downpayment or the full 20%? HDB is constantly changing rules until I blur liao.

Nah .. I didnt look at intercontinental. Tink is out of my budget and as usual ... I cant hit the min no. of tables again ....
 
Oh Bluegal, when did you sign up for that? Maybe there is a price increase? Anyway, try to bargain for photo replacement if you are not using any of the perks they promise you. Else it was stated in your contract that there will be money reimburse.

So is there any other thing you are busy with now? Seems that you have booked and bought all those neccessary stuff
 
Chaiyo...
Upon buying a resale flat, you'll have to pay 20% for downpayment, of which 4% has to be cash payment. The rest of the 16% can be paid by CPF and grant. In the event that that you have sufficient fund in CPF, the grant will go towards mortgage payments.
 
hi ladies,
this thread dun seem to be moving... any updates?

Hi Chaiyo,


How many tables are you looking at ?? I am having difficulties meeting the hotel requirement too... Feel like telling my FH that have the wedding dinner in the restaurant and then settle... hiaz..

Other hotels are kinda steep in their price...
sad.gif
 
hi StarryNight,
I sign with them last year sept. Currently we are busy with our new house. Now sourcing for photographer and videographer lor.
What about you?
 
Bluegal,
I sign with them during the roadshow last feb. FH was so "daring" to bargain for perks!

Actually we are sourcing for banquet venues. Currently have a few in mind but still like sourcing for a few more options. videography and photography not really in a hurry...maybe can ask frds to help out.

Now looking for IDs/contractor for my hse too. Dunno which to choose and which design to take. Any to recommend? Have you taken your keys for your new hse?
 
bluegal,
have u met up with any of the vg n pg? I'm oso looking for vg.. met up with boxsetmedia last sun, this wk wil be meeting with mirage picture. wat is ur budget like?
 
hi ladies, am a 24th June 06 bride...

happy.gif
 
hi StarryNight,
We had already sign with an ID firm. will be collecting key on the 28th suppose to collect last fri, since 28th gonna take leave for gown selection so might as well postpone the key collection.
Which are the banquet you in mind? Maybe we can help give opinion.

hi SK2,
I have not met up with any of them, but have being collecting quote since last few months. Our budget is about 1.6-1.8k for both service lor.
 
Morning Ladies

Mrs Soh > I am also a 24 June 2006 bride. My BS is from Yvonne Creative and venue for wedding dinner will be at Meritus Mandarin Singapore. Dun think it is too early to source for venue because when I called 4 seasons hotel, they are fully book. Maybe I a bit kiasu or what... heehee!!
 
Morning Ginger n other gals!

My side I only need 10 tables MAX .. so we figure out gotta make my FH come out wif 15 tables of guests to hit most hotel min req. of 25. Have u booked Meritus? I jus went last sat. Nice place and I'm quite interested as well. Its jus tat dunno when shld I commit.

Wow! Seems like 24th is hot date leh compared to my date. But 25th is actually a special date for us ...
