(2008) Brides of year 2008

[xinyi_reiko]

have anyone of you settled photographer and videographer for AD??

Want to know how much you all are paying.

 

[mage]

Thanks cabbage and muddpie!

Finally with the venue settled can start on WG now.

Anyone has any idea whether Allure Charix carries big sizes gowns?

 

[zrachelz]

Hi xinyi_reiko, i have confirmed my PG and VG.
PG - sam ong
VG - emotionpi*
(cant put the co name here...replace * with x)

Have you managed to source for some? It's good to compare a few then decide which is suit your budget and preference...

 

[zrachelz]

Hi tiff, it's never too early to start preparing.
Now is the best time to shop for dec08 banquet. Dun be surprise if some of them are taken up. Cos there also many KS brides out there (include me) plus rushing to beat the gst hike...

 

[lara]

wow..tat was fast.. do we have to confirm so soon?

 

[hapimint]

Rac, you mean the hotels allow you to keep to the current 5% gst if you book now?

 

[shice]

erm... no difference.. as long as ur AD is after next month, they will charge u according to "pervailing" gst rate..

 

[witch]

In Allure Charix, each gown design comes in 3 sizes, pretty much like S, M and L. The sizing may vary a little depending on the cutting of the gown. Best is to go down and try for yourself. The owner / designer, Annah, is very nice.

hi Ladies...

Finally I have fixed my AD on 28th June 2008 with Grand Shanghai.

Anyone have any idea where can i get large range of artificial flowers ?

 

[princess_cabbage]

Haha..ok Tete & tris, we shall go shopping then...so exciting!!!

 

[elmo80]

Hi Christy

For my BS, i have signed up with Milan. As for banquet, i have booked with Hilton.

Now waiting to buy wedding band...

[qiqi81]

cabbage & tete> do you both have MSN? If yes, do add me @ [email protected]

 

[cat_quek]

imac, i have confirm on 23rdFeb08. Have just place my dep with FS last fri.Wat abt u? When is your AD?

 

[stnov]

sorry gers...unable to join tis time round.....njoy ur kopi & GSS shopping.....cheers~~~

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Hi Rac,

For PG, I thinking of engaging back my ROM photograhper. His PG package starts from $1100.

As for VG, I have not source yet.

I wonder my budget of around 2k for both PG & VG is acceptable.

 

[jbluesea]

Hi Kelluvjer,

I went down to Sattine last week. They were ok...not pushy but seems like its quite difficult to negotiate for more perks.

How much was your package with Thomson? Have you signed up for your dinner as well??

 

[vbutter]

Girls,

I don think I can join in as well... cos June is the last month before GST hike so I've to cheong to buy lotsa items for my love nest - e.g. tv, sofa, tv console, dinning table, washing machine..... and working shift is not easy... so every off day is off shopping to short list those items... very stressed...

 

[angielsw]

Hello everyone. How's everyone?

I'm back.

Its been some time since i last post here. My company block the access to many websites including sgbrides so now can only post here after work.

Hi Tiffy, its never too early to source for a venue now. I'm a Nov '08 bride and i've booked my venue already. haha. now am sourcing for my wedding bands.

 

[flora_bliss]

Tiffy> it's better to start early. You can go around the hotels to look at their ballroom. I heard a lot of the Nov dates are taken up liao.

In fact I've already booked mine.

 

[cherz]

Hi Angeline,

I have no internet access at work too. =(

[floating25]

Hi Mudpie,
Think I'll have to pass on the gathering this time too.

Stnov,
How was your negotiation at the BS? Hope it went well. Don't give up! Take care.

 

[blurz_ger]

Welcome Julie! Congrats to you too.

This thread is becoming quiet leh. Think there is still a long time to go before Dec 08 and there isn't much preparation to do after finding BS & banquet venue.

I have finally signed the banquet contract. One more thing off the preparation checklist. Now stressing over the flats.

 

[floating25]

Hi Mudpie,
Can you update my ROM & AD photgrapher to Willy Foo? Think the AD Video will be done by Family/Friend.

Thank you very much!

 

[mage]

Ashley, the gowns only S, M and L ah? Hmm... then I think i can't fit into them unless cutting is big. Nvm will find a day to go check them out.

tete, its ok then. My hubby like his photography style. Any idea how much he cost for AD PG?

 

[shyantiffy]

wah!! Thanks alot ladies....den bet i should really speed up...being in the design industry..I am actually looking to a more usual wedding but yet haven't firm up the idea..

Anyway i bet at the end of the story...its gonna end up like wat my folks want...

I'm now hunting for my Solemnization venue... any suggestion? We are looking at The Legend at fort canning coz its where me & my hubby met... have anyone here tried that place?

 

[hapimint]

Hi morning ladies.... I stay at bukit panjang... but after marriage be moving to woodlands le... haha....
I pretty much decide between british club or book salvation army church for my solemnisation.... haha....
But the salvation army hor, I emailed them then they no reply... worst is that I cannot find their number online... I wondering is it fate that I take british club... haha....

 

[minny]

Thks blurz ger...yah quite agree wif wat u have said, its still a long time to go before Dec 08..

My side, i have already settled wif the wedding bandquet and also BS, then now me busy looking thru wedding magazines, to have a clear idea of wat type of design of wedding gown i wan...then also collecting information on the AP & AV, comparing the price mah...hehe...

[flora_bliss]

Welcome julie, my AD is one day after yours.

Me now resting coz dunno wat to do after getting banquet and BS. I'm slowly researching for AP and AV.

 

[shyantiffy]

Hi Ladies... Me new too...! kekeke... but I'm confuse wor.. how come we have 2 threads for dec 2008 brides huh? kekeke.... anyway... pls share info...

me hunting for location for solemnization this 1 dec...& my AD will actually be next yr end too..

 

[flora_bliss]

tiffy> I've been there a few yrs back. Seems nice esp in the evening.

I'll be doing my solemnization together wif the banquet. Anyone seen such arrangement before?

 

[zrachelz]

Hi xinyi_reiko

The total cost for my PG and VG is abt 1.7k. We took up the basic package first. Can upgrade later if we want to.

With your PG package at $1100, only left $900 for VG with i feel quite difficult to find a decent one...usually full day VG cost min 1k.

Alternatively, you can check with your ROM photographer whether he has any preferred partner of VG to recommend...sometimes it may be cheaper to confirm through them...

Hope the above helps...

 

[flora_bliss]

tiffy> we meet here again. hehehe...

The other thread is for Jun-Dec. This one here is specifically for Dec.

 

[shyantiffy]

Hi Hi Flora...

Oooh.. I see... kekeke.. so this is a more appropriate thread for me lor.. kekeke

Aiyo....I'm kinda stressed out here... I mean some of our BTB here have already booked the banquet?? I haven't even got any idea how many guest i have!!???..... kekekek... settling the solemnization thingy already freaks me out.. kekeke

 

[zrachelz]

Hi Mindy Tay

I heard some brides talking abt that. To book before the GST hike to avoid the increase... correct me if i am wrong leh...

We began our hotel search in Nov06 and secured one, but they wanted to increase the package price by $20 per table. We find it's still reasonable since the package is in nett price. Heard that their package is going to increase again for later half of 2008.

 

[xinyi_reiko]

hello gals,

seems very quiet recently.

now i start to think abt my big day, i headache liao. so many hidden cost. =( my savings are running dry..
