Yeah, I meant they have only 1 grand ballroom. Was considering having the solemnization in Windows East and then dinner in the grand ballroom. I'll have around 25 tables.
Went to a wedding at Furama, and the food was cold and not very nice, so we have it a miss. Haven't seen Amara though...

Wow! Didn't realise I've been out for so long! Took me an hour to catch up on the reading.
I finally went down to Blush Blush to complete the MTM design of my WG. The first fitting should be in July! Yippee!!!
The advice from my GF is: if you have to lose weight to fit the gown then either the gown is not for you or the designer is not good.
All brides will lose weight as the stress of preparing the wedding will kick in so don't force yourself. I'm not doing much myself but a fitness instructor friend of mine told me to buy the GymBall from AIBI and work out on it for 20 mins a day and you can tone the tummy and strengthen the back at the same time. There are instructions inside the box to tell you how to exercise on the GymBall. The sales person there will also be able to advise to buy the right size ball depending on your height and built.
The coffee session sounds great! When's it?

but heard his package is very gd.... and he is very impress by it... but he is over sea so i can only ask him when he is back... but he also paid 2000++ for over sea... not including the MUA, PG allowance there.....
I watched Phatom when they were in SG like 15 yrs ago. The singing, acting, and swinging chandelier are still very fresh in my mind. Love that show to bits.
nec, ya lor, anything between 20 and 30 tables very mafan. So far the hotels I have shortlisted are Shangri-La, Four Seasons, and Raffles, taking many factors into consideration like food, atmosphere, and service. Still looking around for other possible venues.

Hi all,
I'm an 8 March 08 bride too! Didn't know it was such an auspicious/popular date since my fiance and I chose the date quite arbitrarily.
We're having our church wedding at Wesley Methodist Church, followed by lunch at One Rochester. Still looking for a bridal studio cos I can't decide on what type of look (modern or princess) I want. As for pre-wedding and actual day photographer, we're getting Eugene from Chris Ling as our photographer.
All the best with your wedding preparations!

For me and my FH, we did not consult any master.
We decide to choose our own date for fear also what if we are given the weekdays one. Then knowing it, you will have this tentative to want to follow it instead of ignore it especially for the eldery. Which is why we decide to act ignorance and proceed with our planning.
In fact for our parents, they also left it to us to decide since we make it clear to them we do not wish to consult any master.

Hi IceCherry,
I got my shoes from Hue at Raffles City, perhaps you can try there. Aldo has very nice shoes too but the heels are very high. Of course if you have spare cash, can splurge on shoes from Essex Walk!
Oh, Daniel Yam carries a wide range of shoes which is suitable for wedding / evening gowns too.

hi jojo,
congrats on your decision on the BS. Divine will be very classy and nice! good choice.. that green CS will look good on you.
hi icecherry,
metro paragon have quite a few crystal range. But about 80-100 per pair =)
vivienne,
cheer up gal, don't worry k? my friend had a similar experience with her BS, she was a little worried that the pictures will not turn out nice as the photographer seems to "sui sui bian bian" take photos. But when the photos came out, she was quite surprised that the photos turn out above average.
but if in the event you are not really satisfied, make some noise and see if you can ask for a reshoot =)

IceCherry,
You can try Leaping Lizard at Int'l Plaza. I think Novo also have shoes for dinner/bridal. Wait for the GSS? i saw a purple/lilac w crystal heels at Novo going for 70+ as it was a sale item beg of the year, didnt bought it as nothing was settle for the bridal.
Tete, everything all set for taiwan? You should be excited by now.
Enjoy yourself and snap some photos to show us.
Viv, dun worry too much, just like tete said, make some noise and see if they can retake the PS for free. My colleague did that for his BS but he got to pay a small sum for it.

IceCherry,
For shoes, take a look ard at the dept stores like BHG (Seiyu), Tangs, Metro. U can actually find nice shoes at reasonable prices. Different branches carry slightly different range so u got to be patient to go hunt thru them. I heard that City Plaza near Paya Lebar MRT has got nice shoes too but nvr been there.
I also very fussy abt shoes. Normal working shoes already so hard to find..I was worried that I can't find my wedding shoes. Luckily found mine (silver strappy) at Tangs Vivocity for abt $70...very pleased
cos they are pretty, comfortable and at the heel height I was looking for.
Having trouble with my multiply so can't upload the pics from my first fitting yet...

Normally when I want to look for dressy shoes, I usually start with Tangs and I normally can find a nice pair there at a reasonable price.
I walked into Leaping Lizard that day just to look see. Enquired on a pair of white satin shoes, and its about 130 or so. Not as expensive as I thought it will be. Its good if you would like to custom make something to your liking. They have lots of choices there.
