so blur_ happy new year. Try Cathedral of Good Shephard.

U all shd take PS at Haji Lane. its the IN thing now, and its got potential for nice shot i think. And maybe can also try nice restaurants for a change. Like Little Bali, got tht balinese ethnic feel...

Queenie- i no PS. so no hurry. i want to lose more weight!!! Good luck with ur cake hunting. i like pine garden, very yummy!

ET- I am like u, i am also overseas, in SH. I heart u when it comes to planning wedding remotely. Regarding GDL, i don't think there is a right or wrong answer as to wht can be or cannot be done, AS LONG AS UR PARENTS AGREE. U need to have a word with them. Of course it be best if it can be done in person, because the significance of GDL is for the groom's family to tell ur family HOW important and how well u'll be treated in their family. U don't want to take it too lightly, may start off the marriage on the wrong foot between in-laws. But at the end of the day, it very much depends on parents dynamics. Lots of parents are very modern and open minded these days.

nec, yup I'm the one with the trilogy. From the web address you'll know. I'm jomeow from Multiply. Recent months I've yet to come across a nice one. If I see one, I'll inform you!

nelle, I'm having a mental block already. That's why I have not written "Abt the couple". In fact, I'll have to ask my HTB to write "our story". And see lah, in the end he say I last time obiang looking.

Meiling, I'll to do the stuff coz I don't expect my HTB to be attentive enough to do all these. I just hope he'll be appreciative and buy me more of those "zuan shi zuan shi liang jing jing". hehehe....

I realised I'm considered quite early for Nov08 brides! AD is 29 Nov 08.

I just signed up with a BS and very weirdly, it's not any of the BS i shortlisted initially. ANyone with Rianne Bridal Workz (I doubt so...)

Wow, so many so many Nov o8 brides.
Ya lor, sleepygal, agree with ultimatemocha that the menu should be chosen nearer the AD, now too early. My hotel coordinator told us to list the cheapest menu in the contract, cos she say we can only upgrade, cannot downgrade.

Kelly - I'm almost done with all the major decisions too,also shortlisted the wedding bands,now also looking at shoes, but think I'll take my own sweet time with it, can wait for Great Singapore Sale, may get a good buy then.

Lay Ling, not too early, the clock is ticking, many many many things to do.

Hi sleepygal,

I am with Sophia, so far the reviews are gd. The gowns are nice, and service is gd, but u need to negotiate for more things as its package are not cheap. I have not yet gone for the gown selection, will be going next month.

Have u signed up with them? Are u saying that certain PG in sophia is not gd? Do u mind sharing with me? So far i think Eagle is not bad, and quite commonly used by the brides.

AD over too!!
Finally back home, just manage to finish counting the AP and clearing all the stuff.
Had luncheon too, banquet over by 3.30pm that day as expected. Many of my guests stepped on my train of my red EG and my organza train of my WG had a hole. Told my BS abt it and luckily she did not charge me for it.
Stnov, had an incident w my hotel too. Had lost 3 menu cover during my luncheon and they hinted that they might want to charge us for it. It was a hard cover w the hotel name printed on it and they told us it cost $50 each! Told the Banquet Mgr that it's hard for us to check w the guests as it's not very nice to call up each guest and qn them. In the end they decided to waive it off.We suspected that the waiter might hv misplaced them.Anyway, glad that it's over and it's time to plan for my HM!

Congrats to tete & muddpie 2!

hi brides awaiting 2 b,
wah...so exciting 2 hear great ideas frm u...
Okie, will suggest Haji Lane 4 PS...i love e nostalgic feel of shophouses too.
Actually, if u get permission 2 take some shots in a teahouse or art shops, it will b qite interesting shots too...
Tentatively, looking @ e following areas:
1. Club Street *shophouses
2. Millenia Walk/ Esplanade/ Fullerton *places w
waterfall
3. Some buildings that look quaint n retro
feel *Raffles hotel
> New options - Haji Lane (What can we do there?)
Ani1 can share some other places...much thankz!

Hi Crispy, one thing down 4 u...thanz 4 e suggestions...i guess when we tell e PG 4 e theme, he will oso think of some places 4 us, so i not so worried...frankly speaking...my uppermost thot is 2 find a good caterer 4 e church wedding lunch recep...so trial make up n PS e last thing on my mind!
Now trying my best 2 take care of my body shape...n skin...beri tiring 2 look good leh...

Hi so blur...sama sama lah...all e best 4 ur PS in Mid Feb...wow! Gotta resist e CNY food if possible...better still if u hav a body tat never goes out of shape regardless of e food u consume...

Hi love xlb, cfmed e design(s) w Danny yet? Hes featured in 2008 edition of Her World's Brides for Sattine...happy planning!

Last but not least, i pray tat we will hav a min stress wedding prep...even though e checklist looks *scaringly long n time seems 2 slip by, we will come out reminiscing e sweet moments ya...

Take carez ladies!

Jac, if you can afford the time, you can try setting up the website. You can involve your FH in the project since you've mentioned he's quite creative. It'll be an activity that you both can enjoy as a couple.

I think the rates for VG ranges from around $800 to 3K? Mine is less than $1.2K (inclusive of express highlight).

Btw, have you decided on your AD PG?

And yes, we have decided on our AD PG. You've got mail!

Hi Vividz and BBIguana,

I previously shortlisted My Secret Garden as well and met up with one of the owners as well after a meal there. It has a fabulous ambience, very cosy, very romantic. Good for small celebrations with less than 150 pple. But I can't say the same for the food. Wasn't too my liking. But still, we wld hv taken My Secret Garden had it not been that we have more than 150 guests...

Hee... My indoor PS's gonna be end of this month. BS called to inform that outdoor PS has also been scheduled for March, just before my overseas trip

Oh yah... I thot we wanted to meet up this mth?

pinky> PG is my cousin-in-law. found his works to be okay. Not looking at super fantastic AD shots as I'm already spending alot on BS. So as long as the shots looks reasonable enough, better than layman shots and not blur or what, has a professional camera to take with, has a passion with what he does, is more concerned with me looking happy and to capture the moments of my special day.. I'm happy enough.. and I feel my cousin-in-law is able to fulfill all that...
For VG, we've still decided on Stefine. Liked their works since i first saw their animation in July 07, during my fren's wedding.
Was sourcing ard for other animation, but still find their style nicer..
happy.gif

But some people do not prefer them.. so its up to individual preference.. thank God both my FH and me liked theirs..
happy.gif

Just went to meet up with them earlier.. and I am still satisfied with our choice. Saw a few friends' works there as well.. Hee.. further affirms that my taste is good. Hahaha.. Saw my hair stylist's album also.. and if someone as high class as him would use Stefine, why not me? Hehe..
Do check them out yourself and see what kind of style u like better..
happy.gif

If u are looking for animation la...
Coz its cheaper to get it in a bundle, I just got their VG together with Animation.. Their VG is alright la.. not that bad..

They having a show at Orchard Mandarin this weekend..

Hi Sockie,

Thanks for sharing. Ya, I have signed up with them. U mean there is still room for negotiations even after u have signed up?

I heard from some friends (also with Sophia had their AD taken) saying that Raymond is not so good. Some photos are blur, some with the heads of the guests partially taken and some of the guests did not had their foto taken.

Do we have to 'reserved' the PF and VG beforehand or the BS will make the arrangements for us? Any recommendations for the VG? Then wat abt the makeup artiste? Any recommendations?

Flora, how about 'interviewing' his & your family members on both of your or your relationship?
Sometimes they have plenty of funny things to say.

MeiLinG, you really start early on the script and such! I think we will take quite some time in those stuff, cos both of us are like a tag team, I have a lot to say (yes, darn talkative) hogging the talking time and he just make a witty ending. We are basically shameless in engaging people with stories, making them laugh/think.
