(2008) Brides of year 2008

[eunicet]

SotongLet: Hmm, your shoes sound quite sweet...I think I might look for a pair of strappy black heels, then it's not such a waste of money...My current pair is quite old...As for the PS location, hmm, Changi area also got ferry terminal, can look quite kelong-ish...

nec: Hi! Wah, you bought shoes before the gown eh? But the blue can be matched easily I guess? By the way, you're going to have both church wedding and banquet right? Are you printing your invites together or separate? Any contacts to share?

 

[vernwyen]

ahnet:
hmm... those dark shades of EGs? If it is alright with your fh's and your family then go ahead with your decision bah, coz can see you really really like it

rach:
too late to have any regrets now liao... Now i see mecure roxy poolside, sooo nice!! And, the JP doesnt provide pens for us? Maybe we use red leaf ballpoint pens -_-

fortunemew:
eClarity sounds good, pricing is also affordable. We have actually set aside 3k for wedding bands and aimed the jorn rainer range at lee hwa. My fh doesnt even want to settle for goldheart -_- maybe we go shaw 'shopping' and happen to 'pass by', see how's his reations

Oh, i meant, signing the consent form. We can bring it down to ROM anytime ya? Nothing like xxx days before our AD then submit it to ROM right?

 

[fortunemew]

Hi all, hee.. sorri ah, typo...actually the shop is called Clarity (not eClarity).
anyway, the address is
Shaw Centre, 1 Scotts Road, #03-02,
tel: 67343436.
They are not open on sundays n public holiday.

The website is http://www.eclarity.com.sg
but i think the wedding bands shown in the website is not so updated...best go down take a look.

Dor, platinum wedding bands range from $900 (thin one) to few thousands dollars...this is what the lady boss told me.

mine is 18K white gold metal, which is common for wedding bands.

spoiltbabe, you can 'pass by' but remember if the sale ppl ask u 'are you been recommended?'.... u must say 'Yes recommend by friends'....pls dun say 'No'...if not, they never give discount. i saw a thread that some ppl try to walk in n buy but they are refused to be given discounts cos nobody recommend them over. i dun know why lah lor...this is their 'buz model'.

 

[green_tranquility]

Seriously, I didn't see any OTR EG that I likes a lot at my studio. No choice have to pick one lor... I have posted 3 EGs at my Multiply.

 

[green_tranquility]

Dor,
My hotel is providing me feather pen, ring pillow and angbao boxes. Save me some efforts.

I think those silver/gold mental, fountain pens will look nicer.

I went to my 2 friends' ROM ceremonies. They just used ballpoint pens. Hehe think we guests never bother about such pen details. The decors of the table and function room are more impt!

 

[necrosis]

eunice,
am thinking of going to jb to deal w printing, printing of the mass booklets, invites and all printing nonsense.

oh yeah, sotong's shoes w butterfly is really nice n unique man

 

[necrosis]

wah meiling, so much sweet things to say abt your FH....
my FH super -UN-romantic ones. and lazy!!!
worst combi.

jac, smaller recep is good too, get to mingle and talk to guests.
too often, i find i cant meet the bride/groom till the shakehands n go home part.

yes yes, i'm very excited abt my shoes. but a bit silly to buy before gowns.
no, i didnt buy any gowns.
must give the BS a chance to show me some gowns first.
i havent even gone for BS fittings!!!
talk abt doing things topsy turvy.
i do know that i need to get a salsa dress tho.
BS has no short skirt kinda stuff.

sotong, ya see if you can 'disappear' behind me, if can, then i'm more bak-ful.
lol

 

[bedazzle]

hmm...that reminds me. I shld ask my venue whether they provide these things for me. they v ngeow one. that time ask them to provide me ang bao box they also say cannot bcos we "did not sign during promotion period"

 

[necrosis]

what do you girls think of getting the garter (around the thigh)?
am gonna get it from manila (if there are nice ones) next week.

 

[rjwedding]

i'm changing the fish to hong kong style.. since u teochew, u need to leave ur place before the sun rises?

 

[msclaire]

whats the garter for? u know i nvr really knew.

 

[polarwhite80]

[necrosis]

heheheehehehehe....

 

[necrosis]

sotong...now you can see!!

 

[dodolet]

garter used to be holding the socking rite? This pic the whole outfit looks nice and bridal.... get the whole darn thing better. Give ur fH a nice surprise. ^^

 

[providencia]

oh dear nelle, better take care of yourself, lots of water.

shybride, congrats on getting the CS. Ha ha, so it's all MeiLing's fault huh? Ha ha, don't we all have a love and "hate" relationship with her. Love her to bits, but hate all the temptations that she exposes us to.

sotonglet, yeah yeah, i second your idea,maybe we all need to list down our sizes, ha ha.

but then, L size doesn't mean fat, maybe just big boned. You got any rough idea of what your EG should look like?

nec, welcome back! so eager to see all the things that you have bought. I like the garter, but have no clue of the function, just know that they always make the groom remove it from the bride.

MeiLing, actually i dun really mind if the dolls dun look like me, can make a barbie-kind of figure for my "look-alike" doll even better.. hee hee, i haven't really looked ard, but I would like a mini replica of my wedding gown since I won't get to keep it.

 

[necrosis]

the other garters for holding the stocking up looks like this:

 

[necrosis]

sotong...
another gown

 

[dodolet]

prov, not yet, I am still asking for ideas. The lace is in my multiply. I just dunno what I wanna do with yet.

Nec, I know we all go get u buy garter for us ah. LOL

 

[ebride]

wow..I honoured u as our "Most Organised BTB" hehe

 

[necrosis]

oh yeah, i wanna go get sexy corsets n gaters, but i think my mom will faint if she sees my purchases.
lol

sotong, i dont mind, but i dunno the range of styles or prices...and perferences?
(leather? lace? kinky? )
LOL

 

[koyoyo]

The thought of me having a salad dinner is almost unheard of (*in horror) but i am willing to try haha for the sake of slimming . Today lunch i only order a plate of duck rice and i tell my colleague i am going on simple diet of eating less.., immediately one lady buy me dessert and another buy me kuey kuey haaha how to diet tt way some more i am eating rice for lunch on top of all these goodies yum yum
Mrs Chiew,

[vividz]

yesterday I ate the fish in hong kong style one, abit plain, just like normal steam fish. presentation looks better than the photo u took.

I dun need to leave my place before sun rises, now not so traditional ald. my time is before 11am so quite alrite.

 

[koyoyo]

Shybride,

[green_tranquility]

Dor,
I'm a lazy gal haha, so I checked with BS and hotel 1st before I start doing them myself.

Angbao boxes are easy to make. Use A4 paper box, wrap with gift wrapper, put soft toys/flowers/etc on top.

 

[foodietravel]

okay,

i'm pretty busy but just wanna say that my wedding at Four Seasons was Perfect!!! So happy with everything that i typed a letter to the Group President of Four Seasons Hotels.. and i pasted an excerpt on SingaporeBrides' Wedding Banquets : Four Seasons Hotel.

xlb,
i'm really glad i got married there.

to everyone else, i'll be off for my 2-week US honeymoon next week so good luck to those who haven't got married yet. my photos should be ready in about a month's time...

 

[leely]

My hotel provides printing of invites.. So that's one thing off my mind.. thankfully..

I bought a pair of white satin shoes.. Coz like Xinglin, I decided to have 1 shoe to fit all gowns.. You can view my shoes here.. I wore it during my ROM and to my cousin's wedding, and I'll be wearing again for PS and AD.. So made my $$ worth..

..

 

[flora_bliss]

gals, I'm coming back soon!!! Now at KLIA, waiting for my flight. Had a very busy and boring trip coz simply no time to shop around. So disappointing. So spend the whole of yesterday nite studying.

Nelle, you are sick? Pls take care....

 

[fumiko_neko]

my carlton hotel thread posted this ...

wedding reception. pls take a look! thanks!

[~sblbee~]

sue,
it's not painful at all, juz like normal injection like dat...donated 450 ml of blood was q surprised oso but it's v fast over de but u must pass thru screening n health chk to ensure dat u r suitable to donate blood, cos 3 of my colleagues dun qualify n they had to go back earlier hope to b able to donate blood regularly every 3 mths...

 

[msclaire]

Mei, that's very meaningful. I used to do it too, but after the last time I donated and almost blacked out, I didn't do it again.

praisey, you're going milan!!! I always wanted to go!! Hope you get many good buys there!!

florabliss, very proud of you for being able to study in your hotel room. I have never been able to study on any of my biz trips. Really not easy.

nec, you're giving us ideas with your sexy pics. mwahah

 

[~sblbee~]

msclaire,
