happy.gif


Hi Junebride,
Congrats!
happy.gif
So have you check out the gowns?
 
<font color="aa00aa">hi ribbons long time no see.. eh, i not rich leh, but hubby and i willingly to shen chi jian yong to get 1 BS with nice gowns and good service. dun see the point of paying to worry abt old gowns or bad attitude.
my colleagues also asked me to get BS from JB.. but hor, very troublesome to go in and out leh.. and we thought its alot more convenient to communicate locally
happy.gif


have you gone thru your gowns designing and PS? not to pour cold water on you.. but sometimes wat you see might not b wat you get leh..
if you're those ching cai one, then should b ok loh.. but if yim jim like me hor.. chum liao hahaha sure find fault with everything :P

i guess getting Branded BS or not dun depend on u being rich or not. it's more like willing or not? and wat you expect to get?
happy.gif
</font>
 
hi hi Diana..
thks for sharing..it's very nice of u..so do u know how much do we have to pay for w/ the use of the voucher, i meant like for the drinks &amp; nuts etc..did the voucher states the max number of pax for 4 hours?
 
<font color="0077aa">hey angeldust, you take care leh... yes, must come back and date us.. hahhaha
oh, the model my bf looking for is 515.. but only if you on the way lar.. else, forget it.. arigato..

hi ribbon, agree with purpleblur lar.. we all have budget to work with.. and only playing with it differently lah.. so i am sure you are as rich as any of us here.. =)

sam, angeldust will be back next week latest.. =)</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">yea angie must xiao xin ah! we're waiting for ur return!!!! hehehe

hmm seems tat lots of ppl think designer or "branded" BS are for the rich? think only those who checked them out, do comparsion, talk to married couples, then they'll know it's actually more or less the same?</font>
 
Hey chomecc.....so envy leh.....your HB so sweet....tian si wo le......you mus grab him tight n don't let go ok....

hey my_gal, i think 7pm for marche should be good since everybody workin on monday....so gals, agree???
 
<font color="0077aa">agree with you, purple.. but ultimately, its a matter of preference i guess..

anyway, wat have you been doing lately? now i quite sianz leh.. now that we have all things settled... *sigh*.. cant wait to start on the gowns... but its still so long away... *sigh*

are you still going to make a CS? checked out any lobangs?</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">hehehe now you know why i kept changing rite? settled too early.. then see u all jus start, i got nothing to do.. hands itchy go read other threads.. tat's when i start the changing :P

yup, i'll b getting a short CS.. most likely from TW? unless i can find other lobangs
happy.gif
</font>
 
<font color="0077aa">hahah.. not me.. i wun change lar..

all from TW? ic.. you got the design you want liao? handpainting and emb?

actually want to jio you to see TC.. hahhaha</font>
 
<font color="ff0000">hello..</font>


<font color="ff0000">i guess branded BS is comparable to usual one-stop BS. if u count in the amt u going to top up the photos, its almost equivalent. unless, u can resist the temptation to top up the photos
wink.gif
.</font>

<font color="ff0000">u gals.. so fast everything settled.. me.. still got a long long way to go... tomolo going to start the selection for toa payoh balloting..so nervous.. hopefully.. i still got a chance to select...
uhoh.gif
</font>
 
Purpleblur - there's advantages and disadvantages if confirmed earlier...By the way, just asking if I set aside around S$24K for wedding will it be enough???

Hi Girls,

any suggestions on not to lose out too much $$$ for wedding cos have heard some of my friends saying that they loogie about S$10K+...si be siong leh...
 
Hi Wendy,

Yup, already have in mind what I want for my EG and WG. But didn't do cuttings of the styles that I saw though.
Have to describe to the designer what I want
 
<font color="ff0000">i did a quick calculation before.. basing on our 18 tables with all the triple +++.. ur 24k is more than enough..</font>

<font color="ff0000">i am hoping the ang baos can cover at least up to 80% of the dinner expenses.. am i dreaming? or is it a possibility?</font>
 
hihi dorami and frais..

hehe..dun praise him ah.. wait his head will get all so swollen and i will have a hard time to catch him.. hehe..no wor.. i am sure all of u gers hubby will be as sweet.. like wo shuo de ma.. nan ren..can be as sweet if they want to..
but hor.. 25th really very memorable this year.sigh.. parents got involved in an accident.. lucky not serious.. but mum still in hospital though.

Hi Starbear,
Welcome here!
happy.gif
We can share information and exchange ideas here.
happy.gif


Hey lovestory,
Me dun mind leh...
happy.gif
But can it be mid Dec after I am back from KL trip.
happy.gif
 
<font color="0077aa">sam, depends your 24k is for wat lar.. excluding dinner, my budget is abt 15k for outfits, PG, rings and misc gifts for parents/bridal party... my lunch and dinner will be self-financed by the ang pows.. me quite blessed coz my parents dun intend to take the angpows or pin jing from us..

maybe i can share with you some good news.. i have not heard of any frens or colleagues who made losses from the banquet.. in fact quite a few made money leh.. dun worry too much lar.. smile</font>
 
<font color="0000ff">hi ribbon! i think branded or not doesn't matter. As you can see from my previous posts, even branded BS may not give good service, some even the gowns also nothing great. So it all depends on the individual. Like purple said, if not particular about these things, some people don't mind but then those very particular about small small things one ah, better be sure the BS is good. So the only way is to go through reference like through these forums, ask for other brides' opinions or better still see for yourself. Like in my case, I had bad experience with BV but other brides have absolutely no prob so sometimes is luck too
happy.gif


I feel branded BS definitely not for the rich. Like me and FH compromised, since we want ted, then since PS not impt to us, we'll do without it lor. But other things like PG and VG impt so willing to pay more.

Oh, where's strathmore? Keep hearing this place but dunno where.</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">hmm i think 10k is quite a standard amt to be prepared for..
1 way to reduce risk is to tell ur frens the market rate loh..i already told all my frens to give me at least $80 liao hahaha nothing less than tat.. some closer ones will tend to give more, tat'll help to cover for those who gave less.. but for me, my mum will b taking some ang pows.. so no matter wat, i'll still lose
sad.gif


think allocating 24k should b jus nice
happy.gif


apple is right, the pricing is comparable.. unless u can restrict urself to the minimum.. jus take watever they give.. no futher request.

good luck for your balloting!!! hope you get the unit you like
happy.gif

tat time, my Q # is only 20+ but already very gan jiong hehehe miss those days *sigh*</font>
 
<font color="0000ff">good luck apple68!! Hope you can get the toa payoh flat. Is it the 40 storey flats? It's very good location leh! good luck good luck...

Hi sam, any budget is possible if you know how to work around it. Depends on how big your wedding is going to be also... 24k is definitely possible if this is excluding the ang paos you'll collect</font>
 
GASP saman,
10k plus.. siao liao.. im having 40++ tables sure siao liao..

RIBBONS, im CHINESE, not i/o lah..

ec is far from my place too.. but my parents are fine.. well, put his parents happier when we choose ec lor.. we are pretty close to them.</font>
 
Apple/Bsproffy/Bride(Novia)/PurpleBlur/Maez,

At 1st thot S$24K is more than enough, after that add blah blah...seem like not really enough, hee hee...I also hope that won't loogie so much like my friend cos I invite alot of relatives...own friends about 5-6 tables only...Nowadays flats seem to get very ex liao, no choice lah as long as we like the place rite... By the way, any of you here have lobang for 4 room resale flat cos my friend is looking for a unit as they are getting married soon...

Thanks
happy.gif
 
<font color="0077aa">eh sam, i think it depends on your guests lar.. sorry to scare you, i tot more relatives than easier to lugi.. i heard horrid stories of how the entire family goes for dinner and ang pow only covers 1pax.. while frens and colleagues more generous coz scare paiseh.. </font>
 
About $5 more than what I budgeted for each person. For 250 pax. I think I can play around with the budget. I just feel very irritated that's all that they were trying to go one up on me (luckily I wasn't that sleepy to agree!) Bleh.

It's not that they were horrible people. They are great with my requests. It's just that I think they were trying just making use of the late night.
 
<font color="aa00aa">agree with proffy.. relatives can b scary.. but! parents frens lagi scary. my colleague was telling me she suspected her dad's fren giving only $20... and someone actually gave newspapers! she heard of one giving toilet paper! faint! to think there's really such thing happening.. i thought only in shows *sigh*</font>
 
hi bride,

yes i'm still ard. just that this thread is moving so fast, i need to catch up.
got Duxton but now bit regret. coz we could have tried for the WIS at the prime areas meantime.

The wait is a little long since AD next yr in Dec. If the hse really is only ready in 2009, that's almost 3 yrs after AD. Difficult to do planning for baby lor.

hi Sam,
I agree with them. nowadays, its more ok to invite colleagues &amp; friends than relatives. coz they wun do such things to you as they know the mkt rate. for relatives, esp the old folks, it cost a lot to them to give like $40 for 2 of them. They dun really care abt the place or hotel or whatsoever. To them, its an invite &amp; they are giving it as a 'blessing'.
 
Tell me about it Hazel. But really, I did change to include more seafood and to have cocktails for 100 pax for an hour so maybe that's where the costs are? I told her to give me a breakdown. *hoping for the best*

It's not that i don't want to pay, it's the principal behind it.
 


<font color="0077aa">ladies, then again, there are also nice and generous relatives around lar.. you know your guests better so prob try to find the right mix to even out...hahah, but of coz lar, dun anyhow invite pple too.. well, dun worry too much lar.. all things will be resolved when we come to it.. </font>
