You mean the banquet? Haven decide yet and not sourcing yet. Reason? Cos I don really fancy a banquet but my mother insisted... however I am not very keen....

But my mother said that if w/o a banquet, not like a wedding and I'll for sure regret in the future. I asked my friends and most of them agreed with my mother... I am in a dilenma actually.

Not having Church Wedding... not a Christian..

Happy New YEar everyone!

Hi Vivienne, maybe you can keep your wedding simple by having a reception/buffet style instead of those 8 course dinner. My cousin had his solemn + wedding lunch at rasa sentosa and it was done by 4 hrs.

I'm same as tete, having wedding lunch as well, trying to keep the whole event simple.

Happy planning!

Vivienne,

Some people view the banquet as a way to announce to your whole family that you are getting married. So that you are not getting married "in secret". Its actually mainly to please your elders and relatives.

On your part, you may wish to just tell yourself that if you dun have it, you can never redo it. If you dun take PS, still can retake although it won't be the same. But banquet, you cannot redo it at all.

If you dun want dinner, have a lunch or maybe an outdoors event. Whether you can have buffet or not depends on your elders too. Some may not like the idea. But they are ok with it variations, have the the banquet in a way that will be memorable to you. It does not need to be the traditional sit down dinner. You can even have a western event with dancing. :)

hi jolene,

welcome to the thread! congrats to you...

I think gowns and photography play a very important part.

Oh yah, and you have to decide whether you want a designer gown or do you want a studio that take cares of everything for you like car decorations etc.

Feel free to ask anything =)I'm oso preparing for my big day, we can share information

hi brighstar,
Yeah i know .. I am excited about it. Very excited in fact ha ha. But because so many things to choose, and with nothing confirmed yet starts to make me stress out!
Lucky me to have 2 sisters helping me to arrange the party in Indo, and I'll arrange the S'pore one but I still have to choose some stuff like gown, photos, invitations etc!

I Hope to confirm my sg venue by mid march so i can relax a teeny bit

Ipz,

If you would like to, I can introduce my BS to you. Kekeke... I don wan to sound like I am "hard-selling' my BS but I really very happy with their service (so far) and hence think that they deserve a little bit of advertisment fr a satisfied customer. :p

Just let me know, ok?

i went to tanjong pagar to take a look at the BS.. but time was tight, so only went into a couple.. but i might go for JB BS instead... cos we stay in woodlands, it makes travelling much easier. and their service is quite good too.. but i am still considering, so i welcome all recommendations so that i can do comparisions.. for photoshots, i go for photography skills and i like outdoor shots more.. so please kindly advice... thanks so much

brightstar: WIS aka Walk in Selection.

BTW henyve, Think HDB is planning to abort the WIS scheme instead might be replaced with Ballting Exercise due to the recent saga over Feb 07' WIS.

i've decided on Dawn in JB as my BS... cos they offered a very good deal, am happy with what they gave...

so now i am very happy... cos banquet (hotel) is settled, BS is settled, church is settled, flat is settled... left with things like florist, caterer, and other details.. but at least things in the to-do list is being checked... looking so forward to everything...

but then, i am down with fever and flu, on medical leave today... hopefully can recover soon..

hi ipz,

i started doing the preparations quite some time back... was hunting for hotel like back in oct06... though at that time was still waiting to confirm on the wedding date.. but jus went hotel viewing, probably it was fun to me and my FH, so we jus went ahead with the preparations with no date in mind. so that's probably why now i've settled a few things...

initially i was thinking if i started out too early preparing for the wedding, but then i am glad that i have sufficient time to slowly sort out my stuff to do...

thanks!!!

rena:

i went to the exhibition too...
didn't like feline gowns...

spent some time talking to volan couture PG Eric...seems to be very professional, and read good reviews abt them in styleweddings forum.
but no idea abt their gowns.

yvonne also has some good reviews in this forum, maybe can check with the specific thread..?

haha, was wondering if i should wear a really long veil on the actual wedding day...

yup, went to club chinois a few weeks ago, thought it was nice, only 20 tables, but 3 tables will be in the VIP room - view will be blocked. heard tt the rates would only be out in march for 2008.
