(2006) Brides of year 2006

Hi Ooshie,
My BS seems to 'bao' everything in the package liao. Including PS & AD photography and mag style albums. Not sure if photojournalism means the same thing but wat i mean is they got do artwork to ur photos one. Unless I decided to take on videography (FH not very keen wif tat cos he say he is camera sad wor ... ) else I have nothing else to do for the moment.
But recently nothing to do at work so I look thru the forums for pple's PS and idea on where to go for PS. Overseas PS is cool! But FH say we gonna be more thrifty until wedding. Btw Ooshie, I got a feeling tat u dun seems to have any budget constraits on ur wedding leh ... *envy envy*
 


Hi chaiyo,
me too, i also bored at work so i am also surfing the internet!
got budget contraint!! but i guess it helps that we not getting our own house lor ... so i can pump more money into the wedding instead of the house. Told FH i dun want to be really restricted for this wedding whether use his money or use my own money (ofcoz use his money better!!
happy.gif
). we actually queued for the Duxton flat but in the end back out coz we din want to be committed have to wait until 2010 for completion wait got 5 kids / divorce then no need flat how haha . Hehe luckily both our families like quite anxious for us to stay with them ... also better otherwise no one catch cockroach for FH and I .. know what i mean got babies also easier!
photojournalism is like telling a story with the photography lor ... not looking at the cam kind i think most photographers are doing that now lah..so dun worry im sure your pics will turn out nice... they must be good to be able to tie up with the BS right? btw what is your BS offering?
 
Haahaha ...
We have 2 'eng eng' employees here ...
Me balloting for the new proj at sengkang and if its successfully then gonna wait till 2010 then can move in. So meanwhile gonna stay wif in-laws first. So right now our money also pump all in for the wedding. But FH's character is cannot take chances/risk one. He keep worrying 'wat if' dont have enuff money n such and always tell me to save save save.

My BS got:
my gowns (WG, EG, Teadress, ROM dress), FH suits n FIL n daddy suits
40 pics wif artwork one
18R, 2R n 4R albums
bouquet of flowers for ROM n PS
bridal car (FH insist must find BS tat provide car one)
AD photography but not digital one. each roll cost 50 bucks!!!

details cant really rem. FH keeping the receipt.
 
chaiyo,

when you would be having r PS?
I didnt go for Whitelink cos bad service from them fr UOB Cashplus makeover...but most likely its bcos its free..so its like tat...
think would be better for wedding couples.
 
HI summer,

congrats ! sorry i'm missing for so long. my venue and Bs confirmed too..at Meritus Mandarin and BS is Flamingo... Now also fretting over ROM dress and photgrapher for that day...photgrapher for AD confirmed liao.

Hi Camy,

great to see you here. My AD is on the same day as you!! so have you confirmed your venue yet?
 
haha chaiyo tio liaoz,
i am a sibei eng employee
stay with in laws best. no need to worry hehe ask your FH dun worry lah this is the only chance for him to be the handsomest groom / zhu jiao no chance liao 2010 still a long way can save tons of money by then maybe can buy bungalow liao haha
we are the opposites, we spend spend spend and worry later haha
how about your foto AD flowers and Makeup . think you should have it just make sure
you still have to pay for AD? (50 per roll?) i tawt included
 
hello hazel,
dun scare chaiyo lah haha wait she pester FH for refund
i read about the cashplus thingy also ... aiyah but theres no free lunch in the world, free gown sure they cant be bothered one lah maybe they kanna force to give the free gown so that they get free exposure and advertisement
but also saw some comments from happy brides
so.... have you chosen your BS? share share
 
Ooshie,
I chose Sophia...understand got alot of bad comments fr other BS that I had visited...but so far I feel that they are quite nice lor..the gowns looks grand too
 
Hi hazel,
WL advise me to take PS after CNY. Ya .. I read abt the cashplus AFTER I signed up. Indeed I got regret signing up. But FH insist BS are all the SAME, jus tink abt the good comments n forget the bad ones then will make my life easier
happy.gif
Well, I used to like WL alot so I guess I hav to believe my choice also.

Hi Ooshie,
The AD flowers and makeup all included. Total 4 times lor. Trial, PS n AD twice. Included is jus the photography service NOT the roll of film. Once the photographer pop open a roll of film I have to pay 50bucks. I feel quite ex so might engaged another one tat take digital pics one.

Btw, my mum call me no need take video during AD. She say waste money and most prob we gonna to dump the DVD somewhere after the dinner. No pt spending 1 or 2k on it. So i also cant decide whether to find videographer on AD anot.
 
hi chaiyo!
good good i scared they never give you very yuan wang! dun worry about WL lah, just have a good experience can liao every BS got its own fair share of comments, i think its the bride that determines whether it will be a good experience
like that then you might as well hire other AD photographers but how much they will deduct from the pacakge? i think eg using 13 rolls is 500 for those using film and digital is about 900 so far this is what i seen lah from the less hyped photographers

personally, i think must take video leh ... you dun intend to flash video during the dinner for the day event? at least you got memories mah its diff from photos, you will see things you dun get to see

Hi tanel,

Ermm...One of my frens just chosse margaret brides but it's consider quite costly to me cos it cost her 6k plus without car and actual day photographer.

I have set a budeget of less than 5k and i am glad I did it cos one of my fren's dad is a manager in one of the BS in IMM so I manage to get a REAL gd deal. Anyway, I got an actual day photographer, both gowns MTM, a car and the basic things all for less than 5k..So i am quite pleased with my deal.
happy.gif


As for tips, try to ask as many questions as possible like any hidden cost? How much to develop extra photos? Any actual day photographer and car? The size of the photos cos some only provide 8R.
 
Yeah, 6k w/o car and AD photography IS ex. actually i am looking at a DIY package. so thinking of buying only a WG from the BS. Other services, i'll get from personal contacts. Unlike many brides, i will only be purchasing one WG since mine is a tea reception (no need EG), no need to rent a car (using my own) so i can save quite a bit and splurge the $ on something else. Talking abt budget, im not sure what is a good budget to set for a gown...i actually set it as $2K..but think tat's quite steep. so feel like lowering it to $1K?

Wah, arent u bless! u got contacts with a BS manager! haf u decided wat kind of gown u want? bustier etc? Oh, where will u be holding your wedding dinneR?
 
hi ayane!

mine is not an outdoor wedding.. too warm! i will b melting under the sun! hehe having it in a ballroom in Beaufort.. the ballroom overlooks the sea.. hehe
happy.gif


haha sorrie i've not gone down to Flamingo yet.. and i've got no clue where the place is too! hehe

hi magical!
my colleague also engaged Bridal Zone for her PS.. hmmm i wonder did u see her pic? quite big.. i tink Bridal Zone used her wedding foto in their roadshows.. hehe.. hers is under the waterfall and also another one in the park.. with yellow background.. nice!!!!!
happy.gif
 
Hello - I'm new!

Looking to hold our wedding in Dec 2006. Haven't chosen a date yet but defintely going for Saturday.

Is it not a good idea to have it on 30th December? Heard that Sporeans tend to go on holiday using Xmas and New year leave together? Or does it really matter?
 
oh i think i remember the waterfall one! i loved that picture! do you know who her photographer was?
your venue sounds really lovely.. =)
i haven't decided on venue yet, although have been to a few places..york hotel, carlton, M hotel, grand plaza parkroyal..going to see furama riverfront soon.. =)
 
Hello...

*plops* Goodness gracious.....quite a few posts on here....

Hey Tanel! Your tea reception sounds divine - very relaxed and luscious. I was a very kaypoh bridesmaid for my friends (before I started preparing for own wedding) and from what I have seen at the boutiques, you can get WG for S$1K, depends on your choice of fabric, cut, etc. The choices are a bit limited though.
 
Hi Ooshie,

My FH was thinking of showing our childhood photos as photo montage during the dinner. Actually I also feel if never take video then I cant see the part where my jie-meis 'play' my FH and his xiong-dis part. Tink would be quite very crap n funny. I guess maybe FH is afraid of letting pple see his 'stupidity' during the pick up bride part.
 
ladies,
given a choice, which place would U held ur wedding?
Amara, Furama Riverfront, Grand Corpthorne, Club Chinois &amp; Novotel Clarke Quay, which would U choose?
 
morning gals,

chaiyo! think its a good idea to flash you montage during the dinner but eventually video will be able to capture the moments that you have missed. you can also show your video during the dinner mah i have been to dinners where they flash the montage over and over again .... abit sian sometimes, at least with video you can alternately flash it or whichever way you want

hazel,
i would take grand copthorne coz its 4* have been there to see the ballroom, the waterfall backdrop one quite nice. But warning to you ... i was quite turn off when i saw the red carpet that they laid torn at the sides!! amara seem to have rave comments about its food, the rest? i dunnoe
not to be a wet blanket, but seriously, i would give ang pao according to the hotel/club in this case i would prob give the most for GWC
 
HI elI,
wELcoME wElCOME!
all the gals here very friendly one.... no prob
so now we got 4 24th June bride, aslong as you havent shortlisted Hilton and Meritus Mandarin, you are quite safe hehe. so have you chosen you rom date &amp; venue / banquet venue / BS etc?
let us know so i can also update the list!
cheers
 
ooshie
i will rom on the same day church ceremony.
-for bs we hv signed with wp and printemps.
-for ad photography we hv signed with beetles chor hui.
hv not settled banquet yet. but we are not very fussy on the differences between various hotels so that helps.
we are hunting hse now. very hard work i think.

how about yourself?
 
Wow ... Another 24th bride. 24th super good date huh?
Welcome eli here .... We super friendly one. Btw, did u went to any geomancer for the date?
At first i tot we r the most happening 2006 thread here .. But Jan got 9pages sia!! Ok lah. We 2nd happening ... Hahahha ...
 
For GWC, if u r unable to take the grand ballroom due to the min req of tables then they will give u 3 other function rooms they have. Not as grand of cos! Its 700+ cos they not giving u bridal suite if u booked the function rooms leh ... For me its kinda turn off lor ...
 
Hi eli,
I did went to one of the geomancer call 'huang shifu'. But we only ask him to see for us 25th june good day anot. He said no problem so didnt ask him wat other days we can choose for june. But he did advise us with other dates in other mths that is good for both of us.
 
wah i go toilet for a while then got so many postings liao

Hi eli,
you can check out our chart. Its a all in one FYI chart haha so we can bug those who havent finalised their preparations. I will be having at Pan Pac / Bs is TWP / Rom 060606 / AD 220606
your BS is WP same as me??!! wah so exciting if same same then we can gossip hahaha but actually anything also can gossip one lah ahahahah
btw whats your budget for your banquet, maybe we can help you

chaiyo ahaha 9 pages, no big deal coz they could have started much earlier.... maybe we should rename our thread "THE KIASU June 2006 BTB"

hazel,
regarding the price i not very sure but i guess to have a little standard / market rate they must make it about that price lor yeah 4* remember seeing somewhere in the websites but not sure maybe furama and amara also 4* you can go check
yeah agree with chaiyo, but i think the one with the waterfall thingy quite cool you can go see see look look to have a idea lor
 
ooshie
i see the chart! nice. maybe we can add on more details. like lovenest area, ad photographer and stuff. i did see some of those in other threads...

yup we can share stuff on the wp. who did you choose for mua and for photographer? which package did you take up?

abt the banquet we din really look yet cos we are more concerned with our hse hunt now.
 
I saw those additional items tat eli named @ jan 2006 thread. Theirs very comprehensive kind leh. Of cos lah. Then their table n fonts very small. Sound like spy leh ...
 
hey eli

my FH is so in love with them
not taking photohraphy initially chose Andrew CHoi but in the end decided not to do locally pity coz i actually love his works
got Freddie Ong as my MUA asked pat who was the funniest and nicest he suggested Freddie . also heard from goober (TWP bride) that he not bad saw abit of his work at TWP so quite like coz i want light makeup coz i dun normally wear makeup anyway in the end signed up the 3888 package
 
hey chaiyo !
haha
spy sibo ao are you a January 06 bride hahahaha JJ lah
later i will go undercover and check out the chart haha then i see what amendments we can make
 
chaiyo
i jus went to the jan06 thread. wow! they even hv wine supplier!

ooshie
oh we almost had the same photographer. i chose andrew choi! we hv a diff mua though. i hv chosen leon. i think freddie is prob a gd choice if you are looking for light mu. i don't really like the light natural look so i din choose him.
 
hi jellybean!

yeah! great minds think alike! hehehe

Mar 11 is a good date coz my sis had her ROM on this date 2 years ago &amp; my cousin too 3 years ago.. what a coincidence!

As for the venue, my FH &amp; I planning to do lunch. I would say it's most likely with Marriott... the wedding planner was so nice &amp; of course their pricing fit our budget. will be meeting the coordinator this Friday for a chat &amp; check out the ballroom setting.

I'm also looking for a photographer for AD, who u using?
 
hi gals,
havent been to the jan06 yet will do so later and check it out

hey eli,
yeah andrew is a good choice! very natural not so posey kind
actually we were deciding between leon and freddie but coz pat said that freddie is funnier and i like funny men ... haha but i got 5% regret coz i check out the website for leon.... he is so cute hahahahah damn but surprise to know that they are so ex man ....
pat acually said its alright to choose any MUA coz they can do drama they can do light just let them know can liao
 
wow! you girls are fast!
happy.gif


I'm still looking around but have narrow down my search to Thomson Wedding Design(very nice people), Mr &amp; Miss Wedding Club(special photography areas, simply beautiful) and Precious Moments(heard lots of good comments abt it).

Any thoughts on these BS??

HEY GALs,

I have just booked David LoH for my JP. I thought i was kiasu but guess what? he's already booked for the 1 and 5pm slot. Anyway i taking the 3pm slot. In fact when FH called him, he said he already got booking for November 2006 and that we dun have to be worried about bothering him too early
So advice to all.... faster call him if you want him to be your JP!!
 
hahaa...ya lor..he's super busy...I have him as my JP too...
And I keep calling him...cos he hasnt sign the paper...
so pai sey...call almost every few days to every few wks..
I even SMS him..scared he forget...&amp; dunno the place.
