Hi Pin&Jie, thanks for your recommendation. Wow.. U really have such good lobang.. Good! Thanks lotsa.
Hi Cfay, My BS is Digio. I think confirmation of gown is about 1 month before PS. For me, I'm opting to take my PS earlier in Jul as I prefer to get it done quickly.. Haha.. Being, gan cheong, on contigency plan. If the photos turn out not up to my expectations. At least, I will have time to retake or find another BS. Haha..
For you, I think you can go and bug your BS now & then, & go down to choose ur gown. If you really fancy any one, just confirm first. Then, if you really like others the next time you visit them, try to negotiate to change the gown.
Hi PF Kwok, saw that you had selected William as ur photographer. Actually, I'm very keen to engage him too as I simply love his works. But, hubby say it's over our budget. Ask me to curb. Haha.. So, now, feel so lost.
Hi all, any comments on choosing a top notch photographer or just a normal photographer? AS the price for AD photography can range from 500-3500. Is it really worth paying so much for a good photographer or photos are just photos? Not much of a diff? Any comments?

Hi keer,
I guess the photographer is a personal preference. In my opinion, I will take someone whom I am comfortable with and at an average price. There are photographers who charge btw 1200 and 1800, who are good.
If you are not sure of their photos and worried whether the photos will turn out well (since actual day cannot "redo" again), you can ask your photographer if it is possible to get a 2nd photographer. Mine can get another for $400 for a full day. Not too pricy and you have some backup the styles for both photographers will also be different. Anyway, end of the day you will get more photos as well.
BTW, we were also considering William initially, but also above our budget.

Sorry, i seldom come in to this forum. Thanks for sharing your mua with me. I saw her portfolio. I think she's one of the cheapest among the MUA i'm looking at. But i'm just afraid of the output especially makeup for mum. My mum dunlike wayang or complicated make up on her.
By the way, gals, would like to know if the gold string to tie the insert is it provided by the printing shop or we have to purchase ourselves?
Thanks

Hi berie, so glad we r on de same day!!!
Got my husband's eldest aunt to chose de AD for us and de timing. Gd timing for me to leave de hse is 7am-9am. So i decide on 7am as i hv limited time & need to reach restaurant by 11am.
Oh, 9am to 1pm is not suitable for travelling! Err.... i think i can't avoid tat leh. Guess just to be more careful on de road.
Who's ur BS & MUA? Sorry to miss those thread previously.

second that. I like the short dress. It's quite diff and really nice.
meiling... i think overall it's still quite a gd package and considering you're picking from the premium collection...

Hpry, I also got this concern too. She is also MUA for my jie meis. But I feel mua is really subjective. I believe you can tell her that no complicated makeup on mums?

MeiLing, it's really like a parade of gowns. Your spending habits a bit like me, but i think i got more self control, ha ha.
MeiLing, u and HTB super model and photogenic, so why worry?
I stay near town, happy that it's not too far away from orchard rd.
Is poses the same as photos? 120 sounds like a lot. I dun noe how many poses or photos I'll have, i know i'll end up with one big album and soft copies of fully edited images. Enough or not? You gals sound like you have a lot, i scare i not enough.
Sigh, this forum is encouraging me to spend!!

MeiLing, no price is too high if you can look beautiful. I also worried cos i super not photogenic, real person lagi worse, then HTB hates to pose. So, we keep fingers crossed, ok?
end of the week and you gals are still so active here!
i've got 2 albums, both are the big big ones (and 1 smaller niang jia ben), so that's why so many poses, then ps is also over 2 days mah. sekully they take 500plus pics, then 120 also not enough liao!! (assuming the pics turn out nice lah)
i can't really remember how many gowns i'm allowed for PS leh...prob 7-8 bah, i'll be bringing 2 indian outfits---1 lengha choli and 1 sari.
meiling, actually in a way, it's pretty smart of you to take 10 gowns and lots of photos for your PS.
cos after the wedding, how likely will your hubby be willing to spend and go thru another ps?
i think all gals with packages have good package lah...after all, signed up with the BS already right...so there must have been something that promted the decision.

Hi Plug

I am taking x-zen for my BS. MUA will be arrange by the BS.

both the EG & short dress are designed by Patrick from TWP. the pink gown on the cover of one of the new issues of bridal magazine (can't rmemeber which magazine) is also designed by him. my WGs are OTR only.. the ball gown wasn't even adjusted.. i jsut took and wore for PS only
don't worry gals, it's still early for most of you to take PS. when the time comes, we will get to admire your beautiful photos too!

Hi sweetsugar,
Welcome! Like R&J said, if you're doing your ROM outside, you'll need to start inviting JP already. Cos we can all start filing from this month onwards

Hi Tng, well, I din know there are many nightclubs ard, until I told one of my gal friend after we have confirm GMR as venue. No point regretting liao. Well, actually, the "lock kok" shopping centre and the hotel is well separated. In general, it should be ok.
At that point of time, I do not have much choice of the alternative venues since Nov is a hot month. So we chose GMR.

Hey Meiling,
think you might to re-look at your housing plan...cos this recent bi-monthly appears to the the last one as HDb intends to sell 4-room and bigger flats once in 6 months - once in Apr and another in Oct. I had thought that they will cont the bi-monthly sales until Oct but I just read that this month's bi-monthly will be the final one.
