Wow, you lost 10kg in 1 month before? How did you do it? Try not to lose or gain weight drastically ok?

 

[waxie24]

[apple_gal]

Hi, Rach

I got my queue no. 567...

 

[samanthaquekys]

hi ladies.

talking abt honeymoon.. FH n i plannng to go europe but in june. so i'll have to wait for some time. the newly wed feeling might be gone by then but i was thinking gg in june will be lighter on our lugguages. and need time to save for the trip too. how much do u think we'll need for 2 weeks? 20k? 30k?

japan is nice. my friend just went. they went on F&E. her hubby did a lot of research. but they really took their time n enjoyed the trip. personally i prefer F&E. then can just enjoy the company of each other and dun have to worry abt mingling with the rest of the tour grp. =)

anyway i went for my fitting yesterday. LOVE my evening gown. but i have yet to uplaod the pics. the outfits for photoshoot, i tried a few but only confirmed ones can take pics. but by the end when we finally confirmed, i'm already out of them. lol.. when i go for my third fitting before PS then will take pics and show you ladies.
but there's this EG n cheongsum that is very hugging i don't like.. but mum, sis, FH and designer say nice. and i have no choice but to take it... so hugging that it's showing my big bum. =(

for outdoors i'm wearing the cheongsum n a short dress that makes me look like a ballerina, sis chose that for me. wonder what location will match the clothes. hmm....

[stnov]

make mi feel so sore abt mine.....im so disappointed wif it till tis point of time...dun feel like selecting the shots at all.....haiz....=(

mage....embark on another busy task again rite....but can look forward to shifting to new nest...=D

 

[mary_poppins]

Wow, there are so many slim brides here. Makes me feel that I am really heavy. But I accept myself as it is. After putting on the braces, lost about 3kg of weight and receive lots of compliments from colleagues, customers and friends that I looked better. Can't eat much cos it's really a chore to snack as well as need to dig out the food each time I snack. Guess will slim down further for the next few months everytime I go and tighten my braces.

I love high heels too. Can even run with high heels on. I am 1.62m and my HTB about 1.72m. Can wear 3-4inch without being taller than him, since his shoes will have some height as well. I guess the problem is to get a pair of really comfortable heels. I got problem with the fully covered heels. Always buy those hooked ones (like the dancing shoes). Went to a lot of shops and cannot find anything suitable.

 

[~sblbee~]

koyoyo,
will b looking at 2 different trips wif my frens in jun b4 i get married...will leave d planning to my frens...juz pay $ n go...
oh, im looking for L.O.V.E too but a faster n livelier version...if u have, can share wif me, cos it's not olivia ong's version

mrs kel,
wah...sounds like u have got a major budget for shopping if u r planning for $30k...hehehe, it's like abt 1 yr of take home salary...wah, u r v gd to b able to save d amt in less than a yr

glad dat u've gotten ur gowns...look forward to seeing d pics...u must look v gd given dat u've got a toned body as u r q sporty n outgoing...envy u

im so nervous abt mine tm...

koyoyo n melody,
how's ur gown fitting n visit to discuss ur mtm EG today? hope u had lotsa fun...

 

[~sblbee~]

shybride,
loe n behold has to make appt to view d shoes at belinda's pl...u can chk out her shoe collection at www.loeandbehold.com.sg
for paradox shoes, u can find them at taka dept store, caltex house or forum (i think) cos i only went to taka to see d shoes, but it's $300+ to $400+ per pair
oh, my fh is abt 172 cm or 174 cm or have to b mindful...i wana look tall but wld b better if he seems taller when he's standing bside me

lost,
hehehe...im trying to lose weight as well as im those broad looking type so will look big regardless of wat...furthermore it seems dat i got rounder by d day...i got natural can can too...ultra big hips n thighs...think my waist grew thicker as well...hope it wont hit 26"
omg...i dun think i'll b able to lose so much weight, mayb i'll b more motivated after looking at myself wif all d fats hanging out frm d gown during d gown fitting though we want to look gd but health is equally impt ok?

nlimm,
im not slim...getting fatter by d day...im not slim enuff, need to lose another 3 kg b4 my PS i dun have asset to begin wif...if only i have asset to boost abt

mary poppins,
same here, i cant live w/o my high heels...n can run ard in them too...can shop for d whole day in them so hopefully can serve as a gd practice for our AD
yah, i always have cuts or blisters if i dun get myself a comfortable pair of shoes, dat's y i cant wear all covered shoes like court shoes

hope to find open-toe sling shoes like lotsa bling bling on them

 

[piyo1818]

Hi Cindy

Yeah! We same same. I also no creative bones. haha! From your list, I've only visited the one that I've signed up, My Bridal Room.

I can understand your theory of "once go in.. cannot come out". Ha! We were stuck at one showroom b4 but didnt take up cos havent try their gowns or at least look at the shop. My mind will not feel at "peace" even if the albums look great. ha!

I think "pushy" is quite subjective but I find the people at My Bridal Room nice lah. I can see that my co-ordinator is trying her best to see what kind of character we are and what style of makeup artist or gowns are suitable and will arrange to find those. We love the albums there, really very nice. That's y we signed up. At least I feel at peace that someone is helping in most of the things. My co-ordinator also systematically wrote down 4 us wat we will do in all the future appts. Like recently, we hv fixed 2nd appt 2 find outdoor gown n tea dress n groom's jackets, she told us 2 come after mid March cos their boss gg overseas to bring some dresses back or something like tt. So we got more choices!!

But of cos the gowns 2 change into wil b lesser cos can only choose one outdoor gown, not like others, who can choose more, but i satisfied lah. ha! Cos I think they knw wat they r doing... Hope my sharing experience helps... HEE!

The most impt thing is both of u MUST feel comfortable. If got bad impression when u visit, better "run out", no matter what they do to stop u!!

All the Best!!!

 

[piyo1818]

qunqun... Great! Botanics Gardens will be one of our outdoor locations. Keke. Wan 2 hv water water background. So exciting!!! Ha!

 

[shybride]

nlimm, can can is the wire 'cage' that we wear underneath the gown.. like the victorian time type..

meiling, wow paradox shoes are so ex!! thanks for making me feel less guilty about spending $100 on the j west shoes.. hee hee

the loe and behold collection got many bridal shoes! but i guess it will be just as ex as paradox.. right? anyway i shall 'see no evil'.. cannot be tempted by other shoes cos i oredi bought 2 pairs..

 

[melo_ddy]

Meiling, tried many EGs today but still have totally no idea what i like. In the end decided on a toga style EG, material used will be tulle and satin in light pink. Till now i still cant imagine how my EG will look like, just have to trust my designer. I actually wanted my EG to be in hot pink, and my hubby was shocked haha. Anyway its not suitable for the design i chose coz with tulle in hot pink will be too wayang. Didnt take any pictures today, will take them during my first fitting and show u all

Koyoyo, how was yr fitting??? Do share yr pictures ok.

 

[sleepycat_2]

Stnov, wat happened??

btw, i din select the shots. It was all done by the photographer...

 

[samanthaquekys]

meiling,
i'm not sure if we can save that much. if not then we have to change honeymoon destination =(
enjoy your fitting tmr! rem to take pics!

[babyiguana]

Hi Gals & Guy,

[mary_poppins]

Hi Evelyn, my AD and BS is the same as yours. You better choose your MUA soon cos when I inform SWC of my date earlier in January, Candy has already been fully booked and Xiaohui also very packed. Think there are at least 4-6 SWC brides getting married on that day.

 

[piglet17]

Meiling,

[welovefreedom]

[mary_poppins]

Hi Evelyn, have you informed SWC on your AD? If so, let them assign MUA Candy to you, if she is still available. If not, heard that Xiao Hui is not bad as well.

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi all, anyone of you is doing the Wedding Montage yourselves? Can share with me how to go about doing it? Thanks.

 

[evelyn_132]

Do I have to call my coordinator to request for candy?

 

[mary_poppins]

Hi Evelyn, you can call your coordinator to check if the preferred MUA or PG is still available...
