[hushbear]

hi gelaine,
i've only been to a few BS, graceful image & bridal concept (my friend's gown was fr there). like the gowns from divine couture but haven't go down to c yet, have u heard of them? another BS, bridal elegance seems to offer really attractive package, haven't seen their gowns thou...
for PG, would love to get my friends to help coz will feel more comfortable. VG haven't source too... never heard of fabian, is he really tat gd? roughly how much does VF cost?

 

[jhoo]

im not going inside the hotel as i will be hanging around the one fullerton for the bldg and sea scenic..no choice, sg too small. sentosa still has the best beach scenic..yah, weekday will be better than sun. ever read that the couple went beach and the stranger keep going near them during the shoot, but my BS told me our PG will know how to clear the human traffic, keke

 

[jesdreamz]

Hi hushy.. fabian lim's style is more to romantic type.. Both of my friends took him and the end product quite touching.. He's charging around $2k plus..
i love Divine's gowns too.. but again exp for me... They are designer BS type.. so u have to source for your own PS or use their tied-up PG...

 

[dustydelvinia]

I haven't heard anyone reply since the last post, thought the thread was going to die liao leh...

Gigi, you're so lucky to have your god-bro design your gowns~! Wad's your budget for MUA, PG and VG?

wedding date : 30th june 07
hotel : conrad
BS : julia wedding news package to let go.

hi happyface,
i intend to wear kua for tea ceremony... im a cantonese so its a tradition for us.

u can wear some matt gold colour kitten heels... wil go fine with the gold embroidary and trimmings of the kua

 

[staritzz]

oh... im having everything (tea ceremony, ROM, dinner) all in the same day as to save the trouble n cut cost.

is it gonna be super tiring??

i dun ve frns of the same experience... anyone to give some sound advice??

 

[sassy_bride]

hi gals,

was out of town for 3 wks n finally back again. so happy to c the 'growth' of our forum.

hi happyface,

i think i'll wear kua too cuz i'm from hk n it's our tradition, though i'm a hokkien myself. will try to find some cheap red shoes to match in hk.

hi staritzz,

welcome! i'm another conrad bride, n same as u, gonna have everything in the same day. shouldn't be too tiring cuz this is always the case in hk n i never find my friends (the brides) feeling too tired. just relax!

 

[alvamar]

jaslyn...thanx for the mail. what BS you took?

 

[jaslyn_82]

Hi JY,

welcome!!
i have not decided on my BS...
wanted to choose Amanda Lee..
but still looking around so that i won't regret..
cos still have alot of time..
u?

 

[jhoo]

schnauzie, yes, it is cheap. but got to bargain, and also the service at bangkok is not good. their attitude is like dont need to sell to us oso can, so cant really push the price too low

 

[schnauzie]

jhoo,
ya i think for JJ market and suanlum they don realli let u bargain too much. guess if realli like then just buy if the price is right ')
did u bring bubble pack to wrap the plates or only use newspaper?

 

[jhoo]

Nope they will prepare the bubble pack. But i did bring addition newspaper just in case at hotel i need to open up and check and rewrap again

 

[schnauzie]

heh thanks!

 

[monyetnakal]

Jewelmelody, sorry to hear the news from you.

Cutie_Gal, yup i'm indonesian. Rice Table dun have any ROM package so i just booked the place for 30 pax, around $22.80++ for buffet dinner and drink. Will do simple DIY Deco coz limited budget .
Have you sent ur ROM photos? I have not received it yet. Thanks

galnextdoor, i MTM my ROM gown in indonesia, cheaper i think, less than $200. I only saw the dress halfway done, my parents will bring it here nearer to my ROM date.
I booked my WG already, but change my mind, will go for 2nd gowns selection on 4 july. 1st gown selection cant find any EG with the color that i like, so most probably will MTM.
When will you choose your gowns?

I am a Feb 07 bride. thinking where to go for outdoor photo shooting. anyone has any suggestions?

BS : Z wedding D'sign
Wedding bands : Soo Kee
Venue : Swissotel The Stamford

 

[alvamar]

jaslyn...i haven really started looking at them yet...just searched around for some shops but haven gone down to check them out. seems like each BS have their own style and you have to like their style before taking them rite? how many boutiques you went to already? is it hard work? oh no...first its checking out the IDs, then its checking out the hotel, then its the BS! haha...

 

[gelaine]

Hi Hushy...

If u like divine then maybe u can consider Silverlining too. They have similar styles specialising in bareback... the designer Jit is very nice too.

He's friendly and cute.

All his brides are comfortable with him... His package are slightly cheaper than divine.

For VG, i'm waiting for the portfolio of Jon Keng ang his associates. Jon mentioned they will have a very different style from normal VG so i'm just looking forward to see. But have to say Jon's pictures are nice!

 

[galnextdoor]

Hope to find something I like.
