Muddpie, last sunday I went shopping with mummy dearest too at City Hall....so hard to buy! In the end also went home empty-handed.
I think you can try Robinsons or Marks and Spencer. They have some nice dresses for mums. Too bad my mum's figure is not great or else she would have found something there!

Hi vivicaleb, if u like vintage lace, i would strongly recommend Margaret Brides. She is real nice and professional...her design and quality are impeccable. Her shop is tucked away at Siglap and feels so cosy and private. The gowns are made of very good fabric and her forte is in simple, elegant, romantic well-cut gowns with vintage lace (german or french). If you don't like lace, she also has plain designs but I would suggest you consider her only if you are interested in lace else it's not quite worth paying the price.

Today i just went shopping with my jie meis. We were at central LJS for dinner, so we happened to pass by this just beside Star bucks. The dresses are so pretty.
My gals got it at $98. BUt guess what, there is a 50% discount, and they were so happy with their buys. For moms i'm not sure, if you more is more moreden kind, might be suitable.
Their dress are the shorter kind, knee length. Not full length dress. There are some, but not many choices.
But for ppl who are attending wedding, or for you sisters or freinds. Can try the shop.
My mom got her dress from allure, i think more suitable for moms and aunties.
Hi Jojo,
My house will be ready in Jan i think. Be sure i will jio you!!! LOL

My mum bought her short dress from a shop in MS. Heard from her that the dresses are from HK..
Sigh, my trip to japan might need to be postpone to 30 Jan as there isnt any confirm departure in Mid Jan.

Dear Marcy & Anne
Thank q so mh 4 sending me WS's quotes on his charges. So u gals have decided to use him? I m confused, if I use him for pre-wedding shots, does it mean that I can negotiate with my BS to cut down their package price since I m nt using their photographer & photos? So WS can still use my BS studio to take indoor shots if nec? Sorry gals, I m a "problem" gal i knw. So many questions. Wahaha. I liked WS's work very mh indeed but must say he's a little steep..
Hi Angel, I think if u have a certain theme for wedding it will be nicer though nt really compulsory. I feel that if u have a theme, yr wedding will b nicer & more memorable. However, it's nt easy to think of themes & to adhere & plan out on the themes. So it's up to u ba.
Hi there Clarrisa & ABC, if u looked at Marcy's post in this thread earlier, noticed she posted 2 websites of photographers.. u gals can take a look at them. Nt bad de.
Hi Sharine, Can I check with you, your photographer SAM WONG, where is he from? Any particular studio or BS he belongs to or is he a free-lancer on his own? Any websites? Is he ex?
Thanks GALS!

Stnov, both mummies also dun want CS too. Both also very kan cheong. So I managed to settle their clothes already.
My mum's outfit was bought from Rose of Sharon in Parkway Parade. She bought a jacket skirt suit.
My mother in law's outfit was bought from Niichi City in Vivo. She bought a black dress and a light blue jacket to match.
wendily, I saw the shop that day. Was telling my jiemeis can go there and see too. So happy to know there's 50% disc now!
So have you decided to go with the card designer? My friend got hers from http://promiseswedding.com/. Just for your reference.

yvonne: girl i read ur post in bliss's thread. actually i felt the same as u, a tad regret after signing but i feel tat everyone expectation is different. as u can see, there are alot of statisfied bliss brides. i am sure their service is up to standard for the price you're paying. so far i didnt hear them screwing any one's big day yet. hahaah. i am sure at the end of the day, you will be glad that you have chosen them. soemtimes its not about the reputation of the shop, but the personality of the coordinator you're dealing with.
enjoy ur preparation and look forward to your big day!
karen: i have confirmed and paid deposit already. i chose to still keep the photography package from my BS is because WS don't do studio shoot one. And I feel that studio shoot is a must for me plus i cant deduct much from the package is i opt out the pre wedding shoot from my BS.
And also, some bridal shop won't allow you to take their gown for shoot without their inhouse photographer. but tats what i like about WS's shoot, very journalistic, very casusal very comfortable. All you need is just a white dress and white outfit for your HTB.
Steep is a little steep la. hahah but you pay for what you get ba!

It is very expensive to bring up children these days. My colleague whose girl is gg PAP K2 (in Jurong area) next year, was given a book list that is $280, without buying school uniforms/shoes/bag, etc. yet!!! She says haven't get bonus already broke. As she also has a son gg Pri2 (just normal gov. school) next year, so she has spend over $400 on school stuff for the 2 kids, even before school opens.
No wonder some families can't afford to even go m'sia for family holiday.

The contradictory part is, the govmt wants people to marry & have kids. But flats near parents are so expensive (usually parents stay at matured estates rite?) with those high cash above valuation that the couples have to pay (like what many of us here experience now).
So if the couple stay far away (e.g. SengKang/Punggol/Jurong area etc, cos cheaper) then how to travel to parents' place to 'deposit' the kids before gg to work? We all know the high expenses has make single income family quite impossible, if not one of the couple can stay at home.
Having said that, it is difficult to manage a healthy family life. No wonder we have many kids who crave for their parents' attention & will resort to anything to get it.
Not everyone can afford to drive (cars consider as a luxury for mid-income couple). So logistics are tough.
This is a terrible chicken & egg, vicious cycle.

Esther> Errr,, whether if its a must, depends on ur parents on both sides leh..
Usually what people do is to go ard sending invites to all relatives.. coz its a form of respect i think.. to personally go there and invite the 'elderly' (lao3 yi2 bei4). Respect them ma.. and then where the groom supposed to come in the morning and give ur parents ur ping4 jin1 and those canned trotters legs,etc etc... so...
I think its rather a must ba.. chinese tradition la..
vivi> Hahaha.. yah.. i thought when i got Divine.. hehe.. www.mybridalroom.com
Check out the thread http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/1/459753.html?1197600772
So far... i only seen 2 negative comments on MBR... and that is abt the sales staff not attending to the customers.. but that was because all the staff were already engaged with customers and they were already asked to wait a while.... when i was there.. they were all busy too.. but one of the boss actually asked the designer out to talk to me.... and she entertained me for 4 hours... without showing any sign of impatience or irritation... so far, besides good service, reasonable pricing, nice gowns and designs, they albums are really one of the nicer ones that i've seen compared to some at TP. Heee... check it out yourself..
Talk to them and you'll know..
