Jac, I think hor for the location 60k too much esp when so much reno needed to be done. Can go check at the going price around tat area type of flats in hdb and re neg. I think the owner yi xiang tian kai.
nec, I just came back from missy and mama. The price range is from 300+ for long CS. The workmanship is nice, but hor they have limited material to choose from. I wanted a black lace on chilli red satin CS cannot find a lace I like inuff to part my money. Also Lucy, said my figure not suited for classical cut CS. T.T
oh oh oh... FH just massaged me the shop got this E VS2 0.56 diamond for 2.8k. Worth getting????

hey tinky
don't be upset by your coordinator.. After all, this is going to be your BIG day.. you deserve to keep trying until you find the right gown that you want.
It's not unreasonable to find that you don't like a lot of their gowns. Cheer up ok... if you want some "support".. we can all go cheong the BS
see who can outbitch who... kekekekek... I doubt your coordinator can put on a funny face when confronted with so many of us ^

flora, Wah... So nice 1C.
Who is going to be the org for 25 April ah? PLEASE choose a place that will not make us pig out 1 hor...Need to jian fei! ^^
Prov, she recommended me the open infront type or aline type.. Cos she was saying my hips and chest ratio too imbalanced.
Anyway I will be checking out the diamond place tomorrow.. will tell you gals if there are any nice items to get. ^^

Yeah,
I try to make it for the outing too! It's gonna be on a Friday right??
Shybride,
yes, as of now, we can afford to wait. Ya, I'm predicting the market will go down some time soon....How much was your reno?
Flora,
I agree that $60k COV is way too high considering its in Woodlands and that the hse requires full reno. I'm actually thinking of not hiring a ID (when we get a hse) cos feel like doing the design myself then hire contractors to do it accordingly. So wondering if can save some $$ by not hiring ID...
Sotong, I think he really yi xiang tian kai...initially he thought he can get $490k but the valuation was too low and i heard from agent that he was very disappointed with the low valuation.
Wah, most of you seem to be getting CS? Which part of the wedding are you going to wear it for?
Sotong, by the way, I read somewhere that the cut of the diamond is the most impt of the C's. It determines the value of the diamond.

sotong i agree with jac.. other than carat, the cut + clarity + colour all very important.. cos these 3 things determine how shiny the diamond is.. that's why brilliant rose & destinee diamonds are so much more expensive.
jac, my reno stands at $42k now.. excl furniture, doors, aircons.. : /

Yah lor tinky
Imagine if you go shopping and you want to buy a $1000 gown.. you notice their service is sure very fab one ma.. because we're paying a premium! In this case, what they are selling is their service, since we don't get to keep the gowns what.
Don't be upset by the silly woman la... Maybe she woke up late today, kenna scolding by boss so grumpy nia.

SotongLet, i wonder what the open infront type or the aline type CS look like. hmm..
Agree that cut is impt for diamonds as a well cut diamond can enhance the colour and hide inclusions. However the proportions is impt too, most of the round diamonds available these days have near perfect proportions. So go check out the diamond tmr, if u happy with it, then buy it lor.

jac,
dun!!!! i think u shd wait cos it's not a MUST BUY flat...i dun think u shd pay so much COV given d condition is of d flat...though it's convenient, u must think of how much more $ u gona invest for reno on top of d COV, usually d COV paid is non recoverable...so it's not worth it

Hello all... Just got back from my trip to Melbourne. Thought it was nice autumn weather, but ended up stuck with one whole week of heatwave. Ugh! It's good to be back now
I should be having 18-20 tables. Most of my overseas guests won't be able to make so that's a little sad...

wow everyone looking for shoes already, i got a white one for my ROM in Jan, so hopefully will be able to use it for AD. Ya i think a silver one will be able to match both WG and evening gowns, so for those who want to save some can consider that. i got mine from john little marina square, cheap cheap...robinson cityhall has some nice shiny ones too.

Hi Nelle
thanks for the reply. Ya.. I'm in the ala cart choice as my bridal studio is in malaysia. I'm also looking at the budget ones. I'm comparing the price and portfolio with the bridal studio which I had.
So ladies any recommendation? I'm also searching for MUA too?

Lady Xiang's designs abit traditional, to me. Flora's recommendation of Misse and Mama is good. You may like to pop by at International Plaza where the shop is in.
Michelle, what is your budget for MUA? For day or night? For PG, I did consider Edmund Leong and Tommy Leong before. You can find their websites easily.

Hi all
I'm not a regular in this thread as you can tell. But i think i mentioned before that im also a 27th Dec BTB!
I am currently sourcing for tailors or ready-made dresses for my bridesmaids - 8 of them. Any recommendations? I really want them to be in the same colour and fabric becoz i think it will look nice on photos, so i thot i should pay for their dresses.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to keep the cost to less than $100 for each dress???

Y Kim, Lady Xiang's design is pretty nice, but I feel that it is pretty ex. I think if you are of ave size, figure and height can go tailor one for urself.
Alternatively, You can go try try try till u like the design u like at Lady Xiang and go other place to make it. ^^ *supah kan*
Nelle, I need a MUA also for my actual day and my dinner on another day. I think most prob i doing ala carte. I dun wanna do any pre wedding foto shoot.
Msclaire, they open from 11:30 - 7:30 mon - fri and sat 11.30 - 4:30.

thanks karen.
Hi Providencia and monkeymuffin,
thanks for your input! ok. i will also check out mrs teo. whoever checks her out first will just give feedback here i guess.
eh, monkeymuffin, do you think the last 3 "good feedback" post about that florist in our BS thread are faked? Very suspicious leh. All are from new users and only 1 post. I just didn't want to say anything in that thread for fear of starting an 'online war'. ha ha.
thanks karen.

hey gals, 1 idea.. maybe u wanna see how your EG turns out first? cos i had wanted to make CS at first too.. but after i tried my EG with full makeup & hairdo during PS, i fell in love with the EG and decided wanna wear the EG for a longer time during the banquet (ie from 2nd march in to saying byebye)
