Hi stef,
I've visited Techman...
Their candles range frm $90 - $100+ (even tough on 30% disc). Designs are ok.
I also went web surfing to look around. Mostly overseas website has nicer designs, but then gotta pay for shipping & all. Those designs that I saw on yahoo auction is rather similiar to those overseas ones. Maybe you would like to chk it out.
They even custom make...

Hi us_mei, my position (if I take it up) will be in Seattle, WA. Apart from the home of Starbucks Coffee, I'm clueless abt this place. I spent 4 yrs overseas studying/working in Melbourne before coming back to SG. Fiance's been very supportive thru'out. The position will be given to someone else if I choose not to take up and will not affect my current position. Anyway, I told my big boss I want to see the offer package before I make a final decision. As much as I hate to be apart from him again, I'm just a sucker for overseas postings cos I like to experience new cultures.
The budget spreadsheet sure is helpful. I've just started a very basic P&L type, so I'll transfer the expenditure over to this one soon.
Just to add onto the list of July wedding babes:
S'rene - 19 July 2008/ Peony Jade Restaurant /Elegance Wedding Collection (JB)
(p/s: Novotel Clarke Quay's gonna hv their wedding show on 1 Sep. UOB cardholders get free entry as long as they register. Lemme know if anyone of you would like the registration form)

Hehe, still feeling pretty excited. Din actually slept well. =P
Those who are interested to view the pic, can add my multiply id: hoxinyi

Hi LoveTheSea,
Welcome to this thread. WOW that is quite a bit for wedding candles I must say.... $100
How about making your own? It's definately a cheaper option and you can customise it to your own theme.

heh, sorry MIA for awhile.
S'rene: Seattle's a nice place. Weather's good. Like it better than some of the places I've been to in US. My SO worked there for 2 summers (as in summer internship) and I visited him both times. I have friends there if you'd ever need help. Hee.
Ai, I went to try on more wedding gowns over the weekend. I can't decide on any yet - so nice, all of them! Keke. Well, managed to *kinda* shortlist down to 4. I like the A-line traditional dressed but my SO like me in the mermaid/trumpet designs - even the shop person say i look sexy. Haha. Dunno if I shld put it up and ask friends to 'vote'/comment. Thing is, my SO hasn't planned the proposal part & moi jumped ahead and now preparing wedding plans. Haha!
So basically, all of you know more than anyone else!
Tentatively, the date in *my* mind is June 7 and July 6. Both 'coz most likely having a very simple & small recep here (SO's parents coming for his graduation) and then go back SG for another recep + dinner (gonna be totally BROKE!! imagine air tickets alone!!) June 7 reads 060708 in US (the mth comes first) and July 6 reads 060708 in SG. I didn't check for auspicious dates so I have no idea if it's good. Haha! Oops!

Hi Mabel,
Sorry for the late reply. Been quite busy, as usual.
My AD is on 12 May. I think its a few days after yours. Dinner is at Marriot.
Initially we wanted a simple one without the dinner too but our parents would prefer to have one, so we gave in to make them happy...
Would you be able to share your PMB package details with me? So far I only had time to visit Milan, Sattine and My Bridal Room. Cant really make up my mind yet.
Hi Jennifer, is bliss bridal creations the one at Bugis?

Hi LoveTheSea,
It will definitely be cheaper if you get plain candles and use flowers/ribbons to dress it up. You can buy the plain candles from Ikea. You can decorate the candles yourself or ask the florist who is decorating ur church venue to help u with it.

Fifi,
I'm looking at bukit merah area which 80% of the 6000 applicants are eyeing too.
Chances are low so told my FH to just apply and see if we have the luck.
Oh, just to check if anyone has any idea where i can rent Madza CX7? We are considering changing our wedding car to SUV instead of luxury sedan..

Hi winniethepooh,
My package with white link is $3688. It is similar to what Mrs yap has taken. MTM WG and EG etc.. But i only have 30+ photos (18R)with a minialbum and i have 6 outfits for my PS. My ROM dress, makeup, hairdo and hand bouquet are also included..
Mrs Yap,
Your ROM photos are very nice.. And you are slim and pretty lor not fat and ugly.. Btw did white link provide the hair-do for you? It looks a bit simple.. Are we allow to tell them what hair style we want? Hee.. You manage to get 40+ photos from WL ar.. So good.. I kept asking them to give me more they say it is the maximum le.. Maybe because they give me discount for the package already..

Wah. The hdb price went up by 50K you know.
Anyway, I don't think 80% of the applicants are eyeing bukit merah. The units available have flaws which many people cannot accept.
All the best. Just ballot first & pray hard. If you get a good queue number and is considering the flats at Redhill, let me know. I can help give some pointers on the available flats.

Didn't partcipate in this forum for a very long time and discover this thread is so active!
May I ask if anyone has any suggestions for a wedding lunch/dinner in chinese restaurants? Weddings held in hotel ballrooms are overpriced (to me) and no guests seem to remember the weddings they attended anyway...unless there are lots of dancing/hilarious scenarios/guests participation.
Apologies if this questions has been posted in this thread before and I didn't read.
Thanks.

Hi Nelle, many Chinese restaurants are having wedding march-in with dry ice, champagne tower & mock-up cake just like hotel's. Some of their setting are also similar to hotel's. They're relatively cheaper compared to hotels.

Hi ^MeiLinG5^
Thanks. Of course, the angpow may be smaller for restaurants (haha!) My partner and I kind of , um, disregard how people think of us so we feel well as long as the old folks are happy and friends (who matter to us) have good food to eat and drink, we'll go with that.
After all, the life after marriage is what matters most.

Yah nelle,
I agree with snowypooh...no problem, it's just our opinion, or you can opt for cheaper hotels like furama city etc. most people tell me that what matters is the couple and the ocaasion, not the food and hotel etc...regardless of venue and food, they'll still grace your wedding....
