hi Dorami..AGREE!!! need to work hard hard to be pretty pretty...
Hi Sharon, welcome to the thread. agree w meowmel..dinner venue usually need 1 yr adv booking so u need to quickly source and cfm 1 soon..(Nov is a hot mth to get married so quite a few places are secured already.)
you need to work your schedule backwards nw to get the gowns done. Nov (AD), -3mth (to hv your album done up), -1mth (PS), -1mth (choosing OTR gowns) or -3 (for MTM gowns, which is abt now cos u must hv a design in ur head liao)..
unless you want a specific AD PG, if not, some of the BS can throw in too..less headache lar, but might not be as nice as those professional wan lor..
dun stress out..take 1 step at a time k!
Have lotsa fun and enjoy the process of planning..

hi girls
quick summary cos today is my LAST DAY at the office (and then back after the wedding la) so as you can guess, plenty of things to do swee swee by today.
lipstar: i'm giving my flower girls little cones (made with paper, thanks to marnie's recommendation). so no bouquets. instead they have cones with fake petals from ikea. yours chucrh wedding 9which church btw?) so prob no prob with throwing petals. mine throw and float into the sea, and fish eat and choke and all how? i scared. but never mind. chuan2 dao4 qiao2 tou2 zi4 ran2 zhi2
the cake shop near holy family is it chin mee chin? if it is, then go for the chocolate cupcakes. the frosted chocolate on top is fantastic!!! so if you get it, can i tompang one box? please? your wedding present to me?
(not shy)
btw girls, me and the parents are friends again. they know that i seldom cry (crying at the movies over cheesy love stories doesn't count) cos i'm so stubborn and i'm such a proud person i wouldn't embarrass myself in public so they took a step back to see if they really had been monsters to have driven me to let the tears flow.
so anyhow, friends again. and tonight my mother in law arrives. at midnight. :S i hate driving at night. my astigmatism causes the street lights to go crazy. hope my contact lenses won't give me problems. hope got enough space in the car. remembering my BIL is 3,000kg big. plus 2 suitcases. hmm. or maybe they can all hold on to the car and stand outside, like bangladesh public transport style?
wine: i bought mine on consignment at carefour. can check it out? they'll take back a max of 25% of what you purchased. can deliver for you to your venue too.
i got no storeroom. as you saw last saturday, my whole house is the storeroom hehe. hey but we're working hard to clean up! never mind, if MIL sees the mess, can just tell her 'messy house means luck in chinese customs!' at worst, everything shove under the bed.
argh, all this talk about cakes is making me greedy! i feel like eating mini swiss roll now!!! and the chocolate cupcake that nice sweet loving chio seksi generous lipstar with such a big heart will so kindly give me

Hi Everyone!!!
MIA for quite awhile due to heavy and workloads and also renovations.
I have not started planning anything for AD yet.
Hi Huey
Did you select any Kwa for your photoshoot? Is quite difficult to find matching shoes. You have headaches choosing your gowns at Thomson?
I took about 3 hours to choose mine...... those very nice ones are too small and cannot alter
.
It is quite difficult to find a evening gown and finally a silver one.......
How about you?
Hi All
Any suggestions for matching shoes for Kwa?
Cheers

pinkbunny: My church cannot throw flower petals.
Now got problem. My mum-in-law booked church rehearsal on 9th Apr. But my Aunt whose kids are to be the flower girl & page boy cannot make it. Then she kept on asking me if confirm only her 2 kids, cos she scared dunno they know how to walk or not, since there are no other kids to guide them. Sigh... she sounds like giving excuse, like not keen leh.
But I definitely don't want to trouble my mum-in-law to change rehearsal yet again to the 2nd aprl, so I guess the kids wont go for the rehearsal. What can go wrong? If they walk too fast, never mind, all eyes will be on me.
If they walk too slow, block my way, I kick them walk faster.
If they walk wrong way and run away, then I continue to walk. They are kids. People will just laugh it off. (Taking pinkbunny's Mum's (was it her) advice)

eh, anyone setting dresscode for the dinner? i dun mean formal dresscode kind..
sam, you can get as many as you like.. for some old folks, the more the merrier.. my cousin had 8 jie-meis when she got married.. then the groom had 8 xiongdis as well.. coz my auntie pantang.. must be "fa fa"...
havent decide how many jiemei i want but already got 2 frenz (another 1 pending confirmation) as bridesmaids.. i make a distinction coz bridesmaids will be walking down the aisle with me.. the jiemeis will be helpers.. =)</font>

Lipstar, dun worry about the kids running away, if they are above 4 years old, should not have any problems. Just tell them they are the most handsome and pretty ones around that day (other than you and your hubby la), then everyone wants to see them, so they must walk nicely
I'm still training my flower girl not to run away. I can't imagine what will happen if she runs away, will me and FH run after her like we always do? Will she get so excited about the crowd and start going to everyone and play with them?? My rinf bearer is more clam and will walk with being distracted, but wot if he decides to find himself another gf and start running away???
I'm starting to regret my choice...My dogs are gonna be my flower girl and ring bearer...I think I need to work extra hard on the training...

hi BTBs,
I am new to this thread. Having a bit of a problem now. Hence, wld need your advice.
I had just permed my hair in Dec last year without knowing that my wedding will be held this year. As my photoshoot will be held in July and my AD is in Dec 06, I am wondering when will be ideal for me to rebond my hair so that it will more manageable and will look mei mei during photoshoot and AD.
But I have also heard that rebonded hair is difficult to style. So at a lost now. Not sure when I shld straighten my hair.

Hi gals....why issit so quiet today??? hmmm i've been busy the last few days hence no time to login here to check on the messages and its like WOW...too lazy to back track haha
So how is everybody's preparations? I thought of wanna go and buy a simple box and cut my own slot to make it into a ang pow box
or maybe can DIY my own decor
Last fri i went to view furniture and found out that Nova furnishing have the same designs as most other furniture shop and they can custom make the furniture for us and price is very reasonable

Yafang: Wah! You settled a lot oredi leh!
I got the measurement oredi - 210cm by 220cm. How much is it ah? My another alternative is to go to my best friend's papa's hardware store. But she said theirs is for industrial usage, thus will look rather ugly.
I told Mr Lipstar. He is also not comfortable with the kids not going thru rehearsal. I'm tempted to change kids, but scared my auntie get angry. How?
