Chere.... oh boy... u must be busy...updating our particulars everyday. Thanks and keep up the good work

 

[suetan]

lunabride> y u invite ur relatives twice??? so tiring lei!

 

[fudgecake]

Hihi Moon,
Trying not to get too stressed up over the dresses. Now too overwhelmed with work to think of wedding

Hihi babystarlet,
Can share the name of the meal replacement u are on rite now? Looking for something with no extreme side effects.

Hihi gals,
Anyone bought good bargains at the GSS? Been shopping for shoes but no luck.

 

[lunabride]

Hi Suelynn, one day is for my relatives cum traditional customary and another day for my friends cum ROM. I reckon my friends want Yam-sheng nor my relatives wants cheers during the toasting. Also me n my bf prefer to give our relatve good food rather than ambient. But ambient is important for our friends cos I will be inviting some HOD.

Both r dinner so got some time to rest in between.

 

[suetan]

lunabride> u too excited ald, u posted both as for relatives kekkeke. I had my rom luncheon there, dun worry the ambience is splendid! U are a teacher ah? HOD reminds me of school hee

[padi]

Hi Lunabride:
Maybe a cake too. Hehe. Haven't thought about it.

My AD is at PPR Stamford Ballroom, the one near the pool. So we intend to draw the curtains, so that the place can have some view from the pool while we are having the dinner.

I'll love to do my ROM at the Gazebo! But I'm having a church wedding in my own church instead. Anyway the banquet is a small affair, so the church wedding will serve as the main one which I'll invite most of my friends.

So whole day affair: Morning tea ceremony, afternoon church wedding, night banquet. I am so going to be flat the next day.

 

[kayabread]

Thanks Jarbebe for the email!!!

Okay now I know not to drive to suntec/MM area on 5 May 07

 

[wilest]

<font color="aa00aa">Hui</font>
our initial plan for AD was on 777 too but after visit www.verywed.com that day "chong" one of my immediate family member and so decided to settle with 177 instead.. during my hotel search, most venues were already "chop" on 777.. that's utterly hot kekee

Have u settle with ya AD PG &amp; VG le?

<font color="0000ff">Lunabride</font>

[alvamar]

Jaslyn, my flat is standard that's why cost more than yours. i renovated all rooms but the second bedroom which we must sleep before the AD has no furniture in it at all. the toilet tiles that HDB gave me wasn't to my liking so i overlayed them as well. your renovation haven finish? you must have kept it for a long time before working on it.

eSthericiious, that's what life is all about! haha... then its helping your child look for kindergarden, primary school, etc etc. cheers!

 

[jaslyn_82]

Hi JY,

[cutie_gal]

Sorry to hear this abt this.
Hope u take care, gal

 

[amanduh]

Hi Jewel,
Very sorry to hear that. Do take care of your fiance and yourself!

 

[jaslyn_82]

Hi eSthericiious,
Thanks!
Think i will not sleep on the new bed liao..
cos even my mattress is new.. cant imagine must change next yr.. will faint.. so ex.. hehe

 

[alvamar]

Jaslyn, i think we spent around 11K so far. haven finish buying all yet though. now only have fridge, dining table, sofa, plasma tv and masterbed. since not staying there permamently so will buy slowly. you have the packages for so many hotels? can email me Mertius Mandarin, Regent, Hilton, and Pan
Pacific? my email is [email protected]. 10Q. BTW, which hotel you took?

most people pan dan about the bed, including me =). but when i asked the fendshui master about the an chuang thingy, he said it's also ok to have an old bed. the an chuang ceremony is just a ritual like shifting the bed a bit then changing of new bedsheets (which is the most important procedure apparently)

 

[jaslyn_82]

Hi JY,
u have got mail!

Welcome!
me also havent buy finish my furniture...
cos like u havent move in so buy slowly..

hehe.. got the packages when i was looking for my banquet.. i took up Marina Mandarin...
like the atmosphere.. hehe

so complicated about the an chuang thingy...
hehe..

[karing]

Hi Jewel,

Sorry to hear that,
Do take care of yourself and feel free to drop by.

 

[hushbear]

hi gelaine,
wah, u book almost 2 years in advance... i'm sure u've got a gd deal.

actually, i'll love to just borrow the gowns &amp; engage my own photographer, but i know the cost might be higher than the packages offered. hmm... still thinking how we should go about doing this. maybe will just go for package...

 

[gelaine]

Hushy...

Hmm... i think whatever i got should be the same as the standad package lah. Heh..

As for Bridal... i think some shops does do without photography packages... depending on which u looking at...

jesdreamz,
Yeap... Michelle is really very frank. But guess her ppinions are professional and as a designer known for her strength in Silhouette correction, she knows better what will look nice on different silhouettes lor. That's one plus point. But again, it depends on how well u can click with her lor. Heh... will go down see her gowns soon and share experience.

 

[keki]

Hi All,

Seems like Nov 2007 is a popular month for wedding.

I was wondering should I start hunting for AD PS &amp; VG. Heard its best to book early in order to avoid disappointment... But seems a bit KS to book now isnt' it?

keki

 

[gelaine]

Hi keki,

Hmm... i tot it's a bit kiasu too. But no harm being kiasu in case you can't get the photographers u want. I'm starting to visit PGs already and hopefully will confirm them by July.

If budget allows then will consider having VG... if not then will do away with it. Heh...

 

[jesdreamz]

i am also thinking of booking early for the PG and VG... I am thinking of taking Fabian Lim as my VG but he's really very exp.. Does anyone knows of other VG that's similar in fabian's style?? if not, i really gotta save and take fabian lim...

 

[maylim2007]

mona

pls update me in your list....
AD- 3 Mar 07, ROM- 04 Mar 06
bridal- mr &amp; miss

now headahe abt the venue?? looking for something below 600 that look grand enough...hehee..
anyone got any ideas

else, need to get people to decorate...

thanks

 

[mrsevelynlim]

lunabride!
sorry to hear about the many changes in date haha. but personally i feel it's not very impt la. i mean, going by the trend that most weddings are held on weekends, also doesnt mean that weekends are the only lucky days what haha. roman calender &amp; chinese calender nv pakat with each other one la haha. congrats on finally reaching a decision tho!

my AD date was also thrown around back &amp; forth btwn both parents a few times until finally both the chinese dates n english dates sounded nice. (actly was even planning to get married in late 06 until realised cldnt make it)

i will quickly go n confirm my AD venue!! haha.

eh outdoor ROMers/ADers, are u all going to put chilli around the venue to prevent rain?? hahah my hb wants to leh, last time he do events wan and he swears it works!

 

[mrsevelynlim]

the thread's outta control! haha so fast.

seline, eSthericiious (wilest) and happyface, sorry for late reply. i found edmundleong from a friend's recommendation! her wedding was in may'05 (yes, v long ago haha) but she was very happy with his work. when i met up w him to confirm my ROM &amp; AD, he mentioned he wld be featured in FemaleBrides this issue too. but more imptly, i like his style of photog la. what i rmb is tt even tho we were quite obviously happy with his work, he still gave us some time privately to discuss our final decision. understanding &amp; not pushy. we even asked him for suggestions on where to go for PW shoot (did not hire him).

 

[mrsevelynlim]

erm i mean i hired him in the end haha! but when he wasnt our PW photographer, he still offered us advice on PW matters.

contractors!! i have so much blood boiling at the mention of my contractor. his plastering is bad, false ceiling is bad etc. so i'd advise everyone to really check the quality of the contractor's work b4 deciding.
fortunately my place has finished w the reno, but it didnt end v nicely la, cos we were v unhappy w his slip-shod work. just wanna share some things to look out for during the reno k.

1. must be vigilant! even if both the couple work, n there's noone to sort of babysit the reno, u must bother to check e progress at the end of each day. my contractor painted several walls e wrong colour, n promised to lacquer the wood panelling tt joins the wall to the parquet. but he went to paint it brown instead of using lacquer, &amp; now the wood is ruined.

2. make sure u can trust him, even if u get an ex one. cos both me &amp; HB do design, we thot we'd handle e interior decor ourselves, n just translate our ideas to him to work out. (means he just does e manual part) unfortunately becos his work is not gd, many of our ideas didnt turn out properly.

haha sorry for the outpour, i very ji dong. i had to delay moving in 2 months late bcos many things had to be redone.

 

[mrsevelynlim]

last thing!

u guys just reminded me of a v impt thing! haha what happens if i dont haf a young male relative to jump on the bed?? i'm trying to go thru the list of family members on both sides mentally but dont haf! haha the prev wedding i had in the family was like 5 yrs ago, and i think e teenage boy who jumped on the bed is like erm, no longer suitable? (erm tong zi doesnt only mean young rite??)

 

[lunabride]

Hi Hui, tt's great. I love Standford ballroom too cos it's near the Gazebo so u can have ur reception outside. church wedding is also nice n usually lasted the whole day. I attended my hb's sister's church wedding (he is not one of them) n it's a whole day event. Tt's why I thought I wanna separate into two days events althought they keep telling me to keep to one day, I insisted not to n keep telling my hb to keep to it.

Wilest
Tmr I will be meeting the PJ to sign the contract, n probably this wkday to meet up Perry from RASA also, cos Eddie is leaving to UK for a wk on the coming Sat. Thought to load off the venue thingy off my mind b4 he leaves.

Yest I went to Msia n I scout around the fabric shop, they r selling the Oganza @ RM 6.90/m, compared to spotlight $11+/m after discount. I thought I will need that for some decoration around the room. Do u need any, since our date r not far away, maybe I will get it for u if u want. Wat abt the rest? They got a few choice of color to choose.

Evelyn
I heard from my sister tt if u want to believe in the auspicious date, then believe it all the way n not to half believe n half not, tt's why we went to look for Master Huang for the calculation of the date. True tt it's quite a bit of hassal cos tt r also many other couples wanna auspicious date, but any it's settle lao finally

Thanks for ur tip for the outdoor ROM, hee hee. I will need to put for two days @ PJ n Rasa. U know my friend who did her ROM @ Carlton on the 060606, it rained that day, just 15 mins b4 her ROM time n it's was bright n sunny in the morning. Where did ur hubby put? I really got to pray hard not to rain during June period cos i did mark down which day rain n which day not for this yr June, n hope it doesn't be the same next yr.

 

[lunabride]

Suelynn
hee hee, ya when i went back to see, some typo error. TT's rite, too excited cos finally i got the place tt i want.

 

[venusian]

Hi Moon,

May I ask what color of the shoes are you buying? Cos I hvnt select my gowns but my BS coordinator say can start source for shoes liao.Then I dunno what color should i get... Is it cream or silver color better?

 

[joyride]

Hey Wen,

Not confirmed on the date yet, we're still deciding between several days in September 2007.

I've been to Silverlining and Divine, have decided to go with Silverlining. Just feel so much more comfortable with Jit, the designer from Silverlining.

After visiting many hotels, we finally shortlisted Conrad and Oriental. Gonna see which hotel can offer more perks and which hotel's coordinator we like more to make our decision.

 

[iruka]

Hi gals,

I'm new to this forum. My AD is on 10 Feb 2007, which is the same as Astrogirl =)

Will be holding my banquet at one of Tung Lok Group restaurants - The Paramount Restaurant @ The Paramount Hotel. The food there is simply yummy!

Am currently searching for BS.. any suggestions? Has anyone tried Sophia's Wedding Collection?

Oh, and I have bought an EA @ Sengkang... Managed to grab a really good high-floor unit... will be collecting my keys soon and so the reno will begin!

 

[babystarlet]

hi fudgecake,the brand of the meal replacement that i'm on is usana.have i send u e broucher to read read?
this company not only carries the meal replacement,they also carry a whole range of health supplements.

me direct opp of u,me too overwhelming over wedding thoughts that i got no mood to work since early this yr,heeeeeeee

you can go CK TANGS check out their shoes,they are nice and quite high heels.me searched high and low before i bought mine from there.See attached pic

hi moon,me also enjoying the process of preparing for wedding,heeeee

hi Venusian,i think is better to get silver shoes,easier to match gowns also.

 

[morekisses512]

Hi Jaslyn,

Im planning to hold my dinner in Dec 2007.
Venue not selected yet...

Yesterday went to attend my friend wedding at Grand Hyatt, foods are really nice!! Ambience great too. Any recommendation? I am looking at 30-35tables, price ranges from $500-$800 per table. Such a headache...

 

[jaslyn_82]

Hi Felicia,

I do not know about Grand Hyatt..
only know that it is ex.. haha..

maybe u can try Carlton, their food not bad..
price range within ur budget.. and think its max is 38 tables.. if i m not wrong..
then think Holiday Inn Atrium, HIPV, Crown Hotel.. if i can think of anymore will let u know..
if u want resturants.. i am not so sure already..

 

[chere]

hi lunabride, welcome!
I've collated the details provided by all brides, you may scroll up to see the latest table i posted last friday.

hi fudgecake, actually i enjoy updating our details to the table. It's not taking too much time anyway. Will only post the table once a week.

Babystarlet, that's a nice pair. Care to share the price?

btw, do u gals think i should add another column to our table.. ROM date ?

 

[cutie_gal]

Hi May,
