(2006) Brides of year 2006

Hi ladies,
I'm back. Bought stuff for the new hse but FH say that as the theme is not decided yet, will buy the rest next time we go again. Really shop and eat like a queen there. Can suggests all to drop by since budget airline so cheap now.

Wedding favours there is cheap as they sell at wholesale prices(candles/potpurri/incense). Can bargain and slash price. If we contribute our own wedding favour, will the hotel offset our banquet amt?
 


Hi Marine,

Oh I see. We have not confirm the dinner reception yet. Still waiting for church and parents to give the green light before booking.

My friend, who is a photographer told me that it's a low period for most of them. So he told me not to worry so much. Take my time to find the best bargain. I am thinking of going to the outdoor wedding fair at fort canning next month. May be able to get good bargain for caterer.
 
Oh yeah....I'm going to the outdoor bridal fair too - looking forward to it! Although I have mostly confirmed stuff (just to make payments). Thought that since it's free, nothing to lose, right? Least can go look see and find more ideas....Where are you intending to have your dinner reception, if you don't mind my asking?
 
Hi Marnie, You are very fast... I can't confirm most of my stuff until I confirm my date. Should be able to do so by next month. I have confirm my photographer already. I had shortlisted about 5 chinese restaurants. Have not decided which one yet. It's so much cheaper to hold the banquet in a restaurant than a hotel. As for BS, should be going into JB in June.
 
Hi everyone, i'm planning to get married in Sept/Oct 2006. But I don't know when will the chinese hungry ghost festival end... does anyone know? I don't want to check with those professional "tong-shu teller" cos' my FH & I are Christians. We don't believe in that. But our parents want us to get married after the 7th month. Also, people may not come for our wedding if it falls on 7th month. So, headache. Don't know when it will end. I hope to hold the wedding immediately after the 7th month.
I heard that Sep-Dec is peak period. Got to book in advance if u want to get good venue. U all seem to be planning in advance liao. I'm still looking around slowly. Will start planning more intensively after my exams end in June 2005.
 
I do SOO agree with you on holding your banquet at Chinese restaurants. One of my best friends had his banquets at Imperium and he really saved a lot! And the food is good too!!

My fiance and I have to look at stuff and somewhat get stuff almost confirmed due to both our busy schedules. He travels a lot for work whilst I have my work schedules lined up months in advance. So, now is the best time for me actually. Have you thought of what you are giving for favours or are you using the restaurants' favours?

Hi Ooshie...

AT least more choices and flexibilities in their wedding favours, invitation cards etc.
 
racherlle,

thanks! we're still sourcing for the venue, but won't be considering Sentosa cos it's hard for most people to travel that far, esp. the elderlys.

it's really sad that the prices for 2006 will be about $50 higher than 2005 per table.

Hi Snowangel

I think in one of the threads mentioned some sites whereby you can get the lunar dates. For me, my only criteria was that the wedding be in Oct and I let my parents do everything. I think they got some 'master' to calculate based on our 8 characters, so we didn't have to wait for the tong shu. So happened that one of the good dates fell on 15th of 8th lunar month.

Anyway, while booking the hotel, my co-ordinator told me another couple was aiming for 6 Oct too! Must be a popular date!
 
Hi Iceglacier

Oic. Thats good at least you don't have to waitfor the tong shu to be out. So are you in the midst of booking your hotel and BS?
happy.gif
 
Snowangel,

Yup.. Booked my hotel already. BS was thinking of waiting till later this year cos still too early!
happy.gif
Still have not settled things like flat, etc... Headache!
 
Iceglacier

Oic...so which hotel have you booked?
oh ya BS still got time to slowly go and shop ard ya. Have you applied for flat?
 
wooo! okok
happy.gif

hehe have u chosen ur BS yet??

haii it's like tat lar..
u noe beaufort revise their prices to 90+++ per table from 2005 onwards?? nw theirs is like 840 inclusive of all the taxes..
 
Snowangel

Book Grand Corpthorne Waterfront. Flat not yet applied. We thinking of getting resale to be near parents. But salary ceiling hitting 8k already, so we dunno to be happy or sad about that. If exceed we'll prob go for some EC.
 
pimply..
hehhehe.. sori tis one cant help bcos my FH is the one who fax.. u give him a call and ask him.. so sorry... =(
 
Hi iceglacier,
thanks for the info. I'm not too sure if I calculated correcly. I think the last day of 7th month would be 21 Sept. So late meh? Strange... I need to do some research... Anyway, thanks! Getting EC is quite costly. If you could have less than 8k, maybe can afford to renovate your HDB flat lavishly. :0)
 
hi starrynight,
wow you still remember i had my gown selection yesterday. Hmm manage to select the gown lor but the EG really not very nice lei. In the end she ask me try one EG which she ask me to try and told me that the gown can't be alter at all. Think the EG quite unique so i choose that one. Oh ya, did you choose kua as your tea dress? i prefer the S size dress and M size top but she told me i can't mix and match with different set so in the end i choose the M size. My co-ordinator is Kelly, she'll also be my MUA.
 
Can't really give the contact cos the person who calculate the date is overseas. But my friend's MIL did recommend a temple along joo chiat that calculates the date for wedding. You just go to the counter and tell them that you want one of the shifu to help you. Then after that you just donate a token sum for them.

Anyway it is called guan yin tng. By the way, have to bring both your shen cheng ba zi and both side parents one... I can try to find the exact add if you need.
 
yup, signed up with seletar broadway during a roadshow cos of the perks they offer. not sure whether it's a good choice cos of the complains on their EGs, but the price is definitely competitive for the things in my package...
happy.gif


if you haven't gone through ROM, you might like to consider signing up with a BS and bargain for a free ROM package like what I did. But don't rush into it too if you have not set your mind on the BS.

no idea about beaufort...hehe.. am sticking to mainland singapore

Congrats Bluegal that you manage to find the gowns you like. So you have reserved all the gown for your AD? Sis you book your PS date too?

My coordinator ask me to come some time about in May as there might be new gown shipment. I intend to get a kua too but have not select any yet. I seem to be behind time leh....
 
hi starrynight,
yeap i already book my gown then, my sis ask me not to wait till may in case i did not manage to get any gown, by then if i decide to MTM then it's too late. My PS will be in jul. but maybe i will go in may to take a look again.
 
Hi everyone,
I found a website that has the lunar calendar. You may want to take a look.
Strangely, iceglacier, like what you said, there's a double month in 2006. And it's the 7th month! I don't know why. But 7th month will last from 25 July to 21 Sept!!! That's almost 2 months! My gosh. I hope it's a mistake. Looks like I got to get married in end Sept. My FH was saying maybe we can get married in Aug, just before the 7th month.

Hi Ping
