Hihi ladies,
My wedding is drawing near!
I have mani + pedi voucher from Strip for sale if anyone is interested. Was intended for my wedding but due to time factor, I will get my nails done a shop nearer my home. Let me know if anyone is interested. Vouchers expire end of Feb.
The shop webbie is www.strip.com.sg Outlets at Wheelock place etc.
Selling for: French Mani = $20, Pedi = $25, or $40 if purchasing both together...

Thanks jojo and kymmie, its great to hear you.
Actually we are planning a lunch affair for about 35 tables. We are just wondering pple would give lesser angpow for lunch as they think its cheaper. But the rates going for hotels are not cheap either for lunch. Crossing our fingers that we wont receive any angpow lesser than $60.
And for BS, its another problem now. We are not sure to go ala crate or get a BS package. We been to a few BS at Tanjong Pagar, but feel that its very hard selling and pushy. And also the photography very taiwan type. And most BS package does not include AD & Video. My mum is saying that i should keep my WG, its not cheap! And also i wonder what i do with the WG once the event is over.
Do you all have any nice BS to intro?
Haha, we only plan to recover the lunch banquet cost, but hopefully can cover everything.

Oh man, I'm getting worried now about the flat application. We prefer new flats so not keen on resale flats. To add on to the worries, there are flats still available in Sengkang and Hougand but not applicable to Chinese. This is bad....
Actually that time HDB had this BTO for some flats in Punggol whereby there is the double storey 5-room loft (something like that), I was very tempted by that flat. But didn't apply. A fren's fren was very lucky...managed to get that loft which had only a few units.

Hi Stef! Hope you have a fun time tmrw! Take pics yah?
I'm gonna meet up with a cupcake baker this Sunday. She's really nice, even gonna make some samples for me to try! Even more coincidence, she stays around my area so no need for both of us to travel to downtown to meet up
I just hope her cupcakes are affordable cos I realised that they can be quite expensive. The other day the newspaper was saying that we shdn't be buying fr home bakeries cos not licensed, but I think it's okay...
If anyone's interested, I can pass you her contact later, but unfortunately she's already booked for 6 July.

Stnov, my coordinator was Albert. We thought it is basic good customer service that the hotel provide some compensation to us since we (the customers) had such an unpleasant experience at the hotel. Even simple thing like offering medication to ease the rashes when I complained to the recept, would be good.
Anyway, it is over... only looking forward to my AD now!

Hi ll,
Normally, you will be able to recover back the banquet cost. Provided you must hint hint to friends/relatievs the price of your table. Although sometime not 100% recovery, but then you definately wont be paying the whole banquet by yourself.
Like what other brides suggest, maybe you can hold a smaller scale wedding? Like me, i'm only doing 12 tables and i'm doing a wedding banquet dnner! haha..
I think you should get a bridal package, because its definately cheaper than you source each item seperately. (unless you have a photographer friend, or you already have WG).
I personally don't recommend to keep the gown, unless you have the spare cash. but ask yourself, will you really wear it again?
At the same time congrats to yoU!!! 2009 will be here very soon...

hi WeddingII,
I took my wedding pics on a ala carte basis. If you are considering the ala carte, you may wish to try this PG & VG company at www.avenue8.com.sg. I engaged them. For gowns, i also bought my own gowns (i bought 3 WG, 1 EG and 1 tea dress) and will sell away after my wedding next Sat. You don't have to worry about having the liability to keep them as you can sell away after that. Alternatively, you can also rent a gown which is very affordable at less than S$200 per piece at either justgowns or lush gowns. Their gowns are quite nice too.
If you are looking at packages, you can also try www.dsire.com.sg. They are a boutique bridal shop that does mainly selling of WGs. But they do tie up with PG and VG to provide Photography services as well. My experience with them is that they don't hard sell. Their gowns are made by themselves and come in limited pieces and definitely gorgeous.
Hope these information helps.

agree with wendily,
BS package will be cheaper than if u source everything yourself like gowns, bridal studio shots etc florist etc separately..
i am personally not a bride from la b * lle (replace the * with e) or digio but i think both have nice gowns and affordable packages as i have been to both to see.
have intro-ed 2 friends to these 2 boutiques too and they like them as well.
But if u prefer lacy gowns and have slightly higher budget, can try julia wedding news. their gowns are lovely. =) just my personal opinion. have some gown pics in my multipy, do check them out if u keen

When buying property, always look into your returns. If the area has the potential to be en bloc/new station/out of ERP etc., you will earn after selling off. Must monitor trend. Well, of course, remarks are just my one cent worth. I am dreaming about my vineyard day & nite...hahahah.....

Hi luvz,
Yes i see you in the other thread...its the right one
To add in the discussion on BS, first decide on budget. I had recommnedations for MBR. D'sire is actually not bad....the gowns there are quite glam. My frens recommended Santiago and I went there to enquire but can't stand the hard-sell.
I agree with luvz that sometimes the more you see, the more indecisive you get. then when you make your choice, you'll be wondering nif you'll be better off with other choices. So must make sure you like almost everything about your BS, esp the gowns.

sigh... headache.. i'm a christian and siblings were married b4 i did (i'm the youngest) so i kinda know what my mum expects in terms of traditional practices. BUT, my hubby is the eldest of a buddhist family and first son getting married so we do not know what to expect from my MIL. My hubby asked her, she said simple will do. That's not true.. all of a sudden need to follow this and that etc and she seems unhappy that we are simplifying things.. My hubby also blur blur din ask much though i told him 'simple' is subjective so better to clarify but he insists no need to. I dun mind following traditions (not buddhist related practices though) but i feel that she should speak her mind so there's no miscomm mah.. Argh!
kell, i should be getting a few copies as reference for printing inserts and then after printing then i get the agreed number of invites.
xlb, me prefer christian church. Thanks! I've gotten St Anderew Cathedral for photoshoot.
But with wedding hiccups, dunno still hv the mood to take my PS or not..

Yes 2009 is coming, i am happy to hear so many advises from all. I think this is a very active tread, judging from the responses, u all are like a big family!
I guess i will pay a visit to digio & Dang, heard about their beautiful gowns. Actually we only have bugdet of about 4k for BS package, that means we have to be very discipline on the photoshoot.
To Eve: did you get all your gowns in singapore? I understand 1 gown in singapore cost at least 1.5k to MTM.
To Wendily & Jojo: Do post on mulitpy, I would love to see the pics!

Claire - welcome too! koyoyo is right. CHIJMES is a good choice! I have been there for a wedding before..very nice! Hey i heard if ur partner is a christian or catholic, you wont need to convert but u prob need to go through wedding preparation session and some bible study session. you are have done that, then the priest will do a reglious ceremony for u at church.

I waited for a really long time too..followed my fiance from spore to NYC..and finally 1 weekend, he finally popped the question while i was cooking lunch! can u imagine how 'romantic' ? HAHAHHA

Stnov,
Thanks for remembering. Yes, another 6 more days to go before my big day!!!
II,
Welcome to our thread and congratulations!
For us, we're having 12 tables of High Tea and people's perception of high tea is it's not expensive but it is! We're paying about $780 per table so we're prepared to make a loss. Maybe can only recover half? Anyway, better not expect too much.

Hi Wedding II:
I get all my gowns from Spore. All my wedding gowns are off the rack but each design only comes with 1 gown only. So you don't have to worry about brides wearing same dress as you. Each of my wedding gown is bought at less than S$800.
If you are interested, you can email me at [email protected].
i will be most happy to send you my wedding pictures for you to see.
Let me know.
