(2006) Brides of year 2006

bugbear, cindee,
i heard it's harder for those who utilise the 30k grant to defer their rom cert when they collect keys leh. i called up hdb/cpf board, they say dun even try...
sad.gif
 


Wah!! they really tell u don even try ar
sad.gif

Ooh...maybe that's the diff...think Ling did not take the grant...right Ling?

For me...i did not take also...but my prob is with CPF board...ut i wrote to CPF board and they told me that can use receipt as prove...so i might give it a try...but my FH wanted a date, so we still discussing if we should do same or different day. If different day means we can choose the date that we like...if same day, have to depend on the geomancer to give us date liao
happy.gif


Yami, so if u doing ur ROM, wot plans do u have? any suggestion?
 
i plan to hold the solemnization at Oaks and grill bar cos heard raving reviews of that place and it's within my budget. haven decided yet
happy.gif
might be going there tonite to rackee... i now lookin ard for rom venue first and the things i might need ...like dress, shoes etc... wont be buying them yet though cos i must lose weight first
sad.gif


think the grant is the main reason y cant defer for long....nvm lah, hold it separately lor.

so bugbear have u decided to hold it together or separately? how far apart u intend the dates to be? (6mths or 1 yr) i plan to hold AD 1 yr after rom.
 
hi gers

wow...did not know u cant defer if u take the grant...sighz...we have yet to look at houses...but his mom said she will bring me ard to some places...wait for her lah...

well...ya the piece of land beside the house quite nice...can fit quite a handful of pp loh. it is along queen's rd...yupz...300 people...have to cut down a lot from the oringal 400...sighz...now we just gotta make sure we choose wisely...

currently our theme is hawaiian...so the plc will decorated with hawaiian style...hehee...looking forward to it...gonna be more work compared to the hotel though..cos gotta see to everything on my own...but calculated ...can save 1/2 of the original banquet cost...well...can channel the money to the house...gd also..

but guess we gonna book mandarin bridal suite...heard it is very nice...hehee...
happy.gif
 
hi ching,
thanks but it's too late, actually i haf also signed up but now i'm giving up my deposit
sad.gif
din really after reconsidering.. talked to my FH and he allows me to choose again.. lucky
crazy.gif


hi cindee & bugbear,
i also thought it's alright to sign now.. but after i visit one of the BS, the lady told me not to sign first cause too early and there's risk of the BS closing down.. also quite worried..
 
hi blur

wat BS is that manz? they are like getting themselves ready to be shut down...not safe to sign with BS like that. am sure there are others who are confident enuf to sign with u and can provide more assuring service too..
 
hi cindee,
happy.gif
ya.. i know, i do see alot of BS doing very well.. but so many, how to choose??? *puzzled*
u gers got any to recommend?
i have short listed Dang, Silverlining, J&M.. all good leh.. how to choose??? *sob*
 
Cindee thanks for the email ... the package looks real gd, no wonder u nearly signed with them .

but of course the garden theme wedding will be more unique -- think teh guest will find it special too. but seems like a lot of work to do too.
 
hi blur

the BS u choose depends on what u wan...for us, we wan nice, natural and happy photography...and the service must be genuine and sincere...in the end we choose bridal concept, the one at bugis...service is great...very warm...photography is exactly what we have been looking for..the pp are also very accomodating...that is why we stick to it..must also look at the buget u have...think Dang, very $$ rite? u can choose the design u wan and get a cheaper BS to do up the design for u...my BS can do it..that is another reason why i chose it. go to other forums and look at the comments they hv on the BS u like...and get insight from there...and that can help u decide better...

hi yami
u are welcome...yupz..really got a lot of work to do...we doing our research as to how to make every part of the dinner unique...a lot of work indeed...but guess we are more motivated by the specialness of the whole thing and how the guests will rem the wedding...of course..the cost counts too lahz...hehehe
 
hi cindee,
thanks for your advise.. will keep a look out.. but now really got phobia with those hard selling BS.. anyway, i still have 2 yrs to source ard
crazy.gif
might consider going to buy simple gown for ROM first
happy.gif
 
hi gals!

i'm planning to hold my solemnization and AD in 2006 too!
happy.gif
hmmmmmmm basically have decided on the hotel i wanted..
happy.gif


gals hav u all started booking or tentatively booked any of the hotels u were aiming for?
 
Hi Yami,
I also heard a lot of good reviews on Oaks & Gills but have not been there personally....U do see see lor and see if u like it....

Hi blur,
Which BS u hv put ur deposit?? How much did u put?? I also thinking abt giving up the deposit leh....But very waste leh the money.....
Wah, blur, the BS that u listed are all high end one leh....how much u prepared to spend??? The most important thing is that u like their gowns, their photography and the designer lor...

Hi racherlle,
Welcome!!!! So when u having ur AD and which hotel gave u decided on? I think none of us have started booking any hotels yet....Correct me if I am wrong girls....

Hi Bugbear,
How is it coming along for u??
 
hi ching,
can say name here meh? think better not la.. anyway,i left a deposit of 1k..now dunno wat to do leh..u think can ask them to MTM suit instead? my FH says his budget abt 4k loh..my target now is SL.. will decide when FH come back from reservist..now i doing homework alone
sad.gif
i've seen Dang and J&M.. both also not bad.. *scratch head*
 
hihi

ching, i went to the Oaks on friday...the food's good manz... yummy! the place is quite nice too
happy.gif
listed as one of the potentials of my rom venue liaoz.

I showed my bf the meritus mandarin package and he thinks it's gd too - but he v surprised i already started doing research.... malu manz, like cant wait to marry him !

blur, actually i oso tot of signing up with bs now to get free rom package....but decided not too cos still got two years leh. i v risk adverse.... scared BS close down or better package comes up. but again, if commit now can 'lock in' the price lah (avoid inflation too! )

racherlle, it's me !! hihi
happy.gif


cindee, are u gog to get some one to do the decor ? since it's decor from scratch... Hawaii theme so means a lot of flowers ...hula gals...
happy.gif
 
Morning Gals!!

Ching, me still the same lor...looks like i started early, but till now, nothing except BS is confirmed. For me, to confirm BS is not an issue...but the hotel is a BIG issue leh...have brought my parents to view Rasa...they also quite like the location...but my guest list is an issue if i decide on rasa...so now still waiting for MC to release their new package...then we will go there to talk to the coordinators again. Currently, what we are moving towards is, ROM at Rasa, then AD at MC...heheh

Rachel, nope, i don reckon any of us here have signed up with the hotel yet...but seems to me, Cindee has most of her stuffs confirmed already. She a real fast worker
happy.gif

as for the garden deco...we getting one of his cousins to do..he very gd with archi and designing and deco stuff. now doing research for ideas bit by bit loh...for now...we are thinking of the invites and the napkins...we gonna use potatoes to do print on the napkins..and then use fabric paint to write 'wei's and cin's wedding'. guests will get to keep the napkins as wedding favours...hehhee...the card we also doing ourselves...gonna paste leaves over white cards then write invites on it...a lot of work manz...even church invites we do ourselves...collage..on colored cards...now only done 30 cards...sighz..indeed a lot of work...

happy.gif

hi blur..
i'm not too sure whether it's open for booking for 2006 yet.. will ask this saturday..
juz wanted to go down and have a look at their premises 1st...
 
Hi blur,
Of cos can say the name lah, its not like u are advertising for them mah....Anyway, how?? Should we forgo the deposit to go for better BS?? I really dunno leh...HELP!!!!! U say ask who to MTM guy's suit??

Hi Yami,
See, Oaks good right?? When I was doing research on ROM last year, I read abt this place mah...kekekeke....BTW, how many tables u looking at for AD?

Hi Bugbear,
I tot u want all on the same day?? Now change in plans? Anyway, u looking at June 2006 MC right?? Means u have to wait till Jan 05 for them to come out with new pricing?? Good lor...u more or less settle liao...

Hi Cin,
Wah....U sch teacher?? I din know leh...Which subjects u teach? Are the secondary kids now naughty??
Wah...ur wedding like a lot of work hor... Btw, U set ur wedding date liao? So fast making cards liao??

Hi Lee,
WELCOME!!! When are u having ur AD? And also where are u looking at?

Hi racherlle,
Beaufort quite nice leh....Been there for dinner once...Are u looking at ROM at the same day? For Divine Couture, I heard they dun accept fat brides...so I cannot go there cos I am on the heavy side though I must say they have nice gowns....Maybe u update me on service from DC okie?
 
Hi Hi...

Lee, welcome...we are all in the midst of planning as well.

Ching, I was hopping to do same day, but FH wanted the date that he likes for ROM...so might do it separate...cos same day means we cannot choose date. must wait for the geomancer to choose lor...so far, MC seems to fit the bill. Affordable, big ballroom, etc...heheh...unless i managed to get Marriot at cheap cheap weekend price...else i don think i have much choices lor
sad.gif
Budget Budget

Ching, Divine Couture really don accept big brides? They do not have MTM is it? I heard that their gowns are quite nice...but did not go there to see...

Hi Rachel, I quite like Beaufort. The food is not too bad. Service ok...think they used some part-time younsters...but it's 1 to 1. Ambience quite ok...ballroom is rect and pillarless...overall quite nice. but max of about 28 tables only.

Has anyone attended weddings at Grand Copthorne Waterfront? Any comments about that place? Food?
 
hi racherlle,
ok, maybe will arrange to view some place also..hopefully they won't kick me out after they know my AD in 2006
lame.gif


hi ching,
i read from somewhere can actually ask them to MTM some suit for you so that won't lugi so much loh..anyway i already confirm i forgo the deposit liao.. my package was from santiago at bugis..we din feel right after signing the package and the coordinator was not as friendly as he seems after signing
sad.gif
my ROM is in sept..he says i can only choose gown, MUA in early sept..
 
Blur...then which BS u targeting now? Santiago really so terrible ar? They also funny right? Choose gown so late...then later got time for alteration meh? Then ur choice will also be limited...some gowns may be loaned out. Feels so sad for u...but don worry lor...take ur time to look for another BS
happy.gif
 
ching.. for real this DC dont do for bigger brides! That is total discrimination man!! I mean why would you want to turn business away!

I think they are being ridiculous!
 
Wah! blur.. me actually interested in taking up the Santiago transfer package because it is very cheap lor.. now think got to 2nd thoughts ald! but then again see how lor.. kinda having a mood swing this morning.. dont know why also!

maybe you can try to transfer out your package?
 
ling, me looking for ppl to take over leh..u wan ah? let u have it a lower price la? let me know if you are interested hor..

actually it's not that they no good la..in santiago forum quite good comments leh..alot of brides happy with their photos also
happy.gif


maybe it's just because i picky la
lame.gif

happy.gif
 
gals ah... u noe any BS in SG do any FS overseas? i love the idea of going to islands for FS.. like maybe Phuket or Tioman???
hmmm i noe m'sia does.. but going there is a bit troublesome....
 
Ching ah.. divine really got such discrimination ah.. geee... i didn't noe that..

hmmm... gals hw abt whitelink? gd??? i heard that silverlining is pretty gd too...

blur ah.. which others have u shortlisted??
 
Blur, I already signed my BS...with Flamingo...that is the 1st and the last visited. Me don go any other BS.

Rachel, i think Flamingo does provide overseas...or rather, the photographer that Flamingo ties up with, does overseas photography. When i was there to look at the packages, there is this couple who did their photography in Europe. Their gowns are from Flamingo.

Rachel, u doing ur solemnization just before ur banquet, or together during ur banquet?
 
hey racherlle,
i know of a photographer who always organise overseas shoot. u interested? i heard from him next destination is Thailand..

oh, BS i've shortlist 3.. but can't decide which one.. anyway can give suggestion. Dang, J&M, silverlining...

hi ching
yupz...i teach english literature and geography...well...i am in Tanjong Katong...the new autonomous sch...hehe..the students here are well-behaved...and smart...so no prob handling them...just hv to do extra work cos we dun just teach them from the textbk. so a lot of extra reading up for me ...tough but fun...wedding date just settled...27th May 2006. the very first sat of sch holz...hehehe...so grab the chance...maybe can escape some sch holz assignment and extra planning...hehee...as for the wedding cards...we hv to start early loh...bf now doing honors...he also teacher...he gonna teach at NJC...so we hv very limited time to plan and do the cards...so we start early...wat to do...

Hello everyone .....

I'm going to be a 2006 bride too. Just got a date from a geomancer
happy.gif
Hope to share our wedding preparations together
 
Hi Bugbear,
I am getting confused liao... Y u want Marriot to have cheap weekend rates when u are looking at weekdays?? I blur liao..kekekeke...I think DC hv MTM, but what I heard is they turn u away cos big brides cannot carry their gowns well....so they actually ask u lose a few kg first....GCW is beautiful!!! Food is ok...not bad but the sky garden is awesome!!! Take a look there too!!!

Hi blur,
Isit?? I have not heard of the MTM suits leh...Maybe I should also try... I already utilise part of my deposit to have MTM ROM dress and MUA on my ROM liao...so I dunno they will still give anything or not...

Hi Ling,
Ya lor, I heard it from a friend who went there initally...

Hi Cin,
Wow...u husband and wife all teachers ah...Must be very clever hor....Wah...u very fast leh...AD decide liao...

Hi Yami,
I look to look for BS with u but I am currently outstation...so when I come back, if u still want, we can go together right?? And ya...better be careful, JB not safe now...

Hi racherlle,
Yup...Fairy's Inc is the place to go...I went there to get my ROM rings done...They are very friendly and they do suggest designs to u too!! They also have their own range of unique WB for u to choose from...so make a trip down lor...
My lovenest in JW, now laying there collecting dust cos no one lives there...so heart pain...
sad.gif


Hi Clare,
WELCOME!!! Wah...our circle are really growing man...right, Bugbear?? Anyway, I also have the same questions as Cin as in when is ur AD and where u looking at...
 


hi racherlle,
oh.. i know where liao.. look like condo one rite? mine is a 5rm loh. quiet area.. only plus point is, my mum staying same block
biggrin.gif
