hi nec,
can i ask u how many poses did yr JB BS throw in? and for the albums, can you choose diff poses for both? cos' i signed up with a JB BS and they only gave 30 poses and both albums will have the same pix but diff design.

hi ladies, any of you know of a good place for facial and a good facialist (if there's such a word). Is three months before the wedding a good time to start going say, fortnightly? I've got sensitive skin so I'm scared of trying just any place for facial. My skin is also not in the best condition. Any?

I've picked the AD on 20 Sep, but now looking frantically for venue, as it seems like most has already been booked.
Just decided on BS, day before, its Julia, and I really like their gowns and services.

Hi,
Thanks for the advices!
MTM seems to be quite a hassle. Cos what I thot is when they come up with the sketch of the MTM gown, it should have already included the embroidery/ lace etc. So this is not the case?
I prefer clean cut gowns so probably will be going for satin gowns.

Hi Nec,
The BS you went to in JB, were they recommended by friends/relatives or did you go there and recce yourself?
I stay in Woodlands, so going to JB shouldn't be a problem. Jus that I didn't hear about any good reviews abt an BS there and security seems to be a problem.

Liting,

I'm wondering if its a common practice for jie meis to wear wrist bands and common attire?
Seems like there are so many things to be done which i'm not aware of *stress*
Also, I'm quite worried about getting things done or buying them too early. Cos I'm worried that I will forget where i placed certain things etc....so also don't know when to start buying things like wedding bands...oh no, things will be worse next year *panicking*

Hi hoitytoity,

TY Oceanblue. yup. i booked my hotel like one yr in advance cos most of my married frens adviced me to book early due to availability. i signed up with a BS in JB. but at the same time i also rented an EG with My Bridal Rooms in S'pore cos they had a gown that my FH simply loved and wanted me to wear. 
.
if you are game to try JB BS, i can intro mine to u cos i think their backdrops for indoor shots are really unique n nice. i will be choosing my gowns this Sun, so if u wan i can let u see a few samples

yeah, heard good reviews abt MBR also...
er...there are quite a few threads on several JB BS.
so actually, it's not recommended by my relatives, rather, by other forummers.
so far, service was very good when i went to sign up...(naturally, haha)
but all the reviews of my coordinator have been very good
anyway, i and a gal fren spent 2 days recc-ing the taman sentosa area (more than 10) and city square (4 BS there)...we didnt really discuss packages in detail, (altho some pressed us to sign there and then and give very good discount for 2 couples, but of cos need hubby to see first mah)
we tried gowns, talked and see photos..
eliminated many that didnt meet our expectations based on gowns and photos...
some actually allow you buy back all the photos, unedited, for a lump sum, like 1.5kRM or something..then niang jia ben with diff poses (edited 20-30 poses) is additional 800RM ...
so all these are very good compared to the carrot chopping some singapore BS carry out...but they all have to make a living lah.
except for AD stuff lor.
MTM you really make a one of a kind gown...
sometimes the shop already has very gorgeous gowns, off the rack (OTR), no need to MTM liao..
i went to sophia wedding in tanjong pagar (yes, i also checked out SG BS) and found gowns i really liked there, OTR!
but their package started from abt SGD 4K +.
then comes with standard 30 poses (Or something!?)
i can imagine if we bargain to 40 poses (that's a lot for a package in SG), we'd still need to top up 10-20 photos...that's extra $650-1k+.
out of budget liao lor... sigh...but their gowns very nice!!
oh, fyi, for an albumn similar to the samples on display in most BS, req abt 50-60 poses.
so that's my basis for calculations.
(why they show us nice nice samples, and dont deliver the same in the package????)

Can I ask you ladies, what time are you gals staring on the AD? My plan was (A)my fiance come around 9am..the sisters will drag him abit, then we ll go over to his place..then do tea ceremony, then my place tea cermony, then church at 1230? Buffet at abt 1330.Is it too late?Dinner at 7pm. Timing ok? Or(B) He pick me up at 1030, we go church at 1130, then proceed to lunch buffet at 1300 then tea ceremony for both family at 1430?Then dinner at 7pm.? Bearing in mind, its a saturday, and dunno our relatives can wait that long for tea ceremony. But good thing is that they no need to rush to my place early. So I m kinda stuck.

hi lynn
Welcome to OCt thread? Are you looking for long term facial or just facial in preparation of your Big Day? If it the latter, when the last time u did have a facial. The reason for asking if bcos it is indeed true that regular facial 2 month or 3 months before the big day help but if the last facial was like a year ago then i suggest u go for a facial say 4th mth b4 ur big day to make sure ur face can tahan the extraction process then as the day approach u can go for facial tiwce a month maybe for the last 2 month...

New stock coming in 20 Dec and i already fell in love with one of the model so any of u need kakhi ask me along.. btw, it really remote so try get a friend to accompany.. however surprisingly there are a lot of cabs.

wendily,
that kinda ex wor... Hmm... Maybe vocalist cost cheaper cos they dont hv to rent the equipment? I hv only 2 piece - sax and keyboard + 1 singer.
I think if you r really keen in engaging a band, probably u can discuss with them about yr budget concern? And do check out other band for comparison wor, mayb will be able to get a better deal

Jac, dun panick so fast... haha.....
I am quite relaxed mode even though my ROM is next month... as if.... now trying to slowly give out the wedding cards only.... faintz.....
As for the AD in Dec 08, trying not to think about it yet....
Worse, I still got renovation to consider about next year.... sheez.....
Hmm... I think it is a common practise to specify the colour scheme for the jie mei and also prepare wrist corsages for them?
That is what my sister did during her wedding

Hi gals,
Thanks for sharing tips with me on the BS.
Flora BLiss,
Yeah, we'll be going down to MBR to take a look too.
Hey nec,
now that you mentioned it, I realise my confusion was further worsened by the albums on display in PS whereby there are so many poses. So I had thought that there will be at least that many poases in the album that we'll be having and hence didn't understand why the need for top-up. Now I know better!
My friend is having Sophia wedding as her BS. I agree that the package is really expensive and the top up cost an additional 2k. I went there before with my friend, somehow didn't quite like the gowns there. Probably also becos did not take a closer look at the gowns they have.
Anyone here signed up with Silhouette? or have friends who did?

Hi Liting and Meiling,
Was reading some older posts regarding the flat. You gals mentioned that its not advisable to get a new flat before your AD since its less than a year? May I ask why not and what are the considerations?
Cos we're thinking of getting a new HDB flat so that after our AD, can move in. WE thought that with a new flat, renovation could be an easier job than renovating resale flats whereby we most prob will remove the furniture which we don't like. And also, with new HDB flats, can get the flat within 2-3 months right (for those already built)?

We were exploring the idea of getting a BS at JB after one of my friends used 1 of the BS there and it was sooo affordable! But, the hassle of going in and out of JB, etc, put us off. So, we signed up with a BS here lor. But, yes, I still want to see some pix! hee...
Which Hotel did u book? As my number of guests is small (about 130-150pax) and we have a budget yet we want to have a big space, alittle difficult to find lor. I just wonder of the BOWS event will have anything to offer. Hmm... Are u going?
u can also wana try.. (both i have yet request for their quotation)

I find that Angel's makeup for younger people is ok. But for older ones, seems to look abit unnatural & abit too thick.
Yah and muz cover her taxi fare too. And she never even ask abt time. So I worried that she book many people then anyhow schedule.
And what cabbage say is true. She expect you to read her blog.
