Hey Joleen,
Grand Copthrone was in the wedding planner bridal show last week at vivocity and i also shortlisted Grand Copthrone Waterfront for my venue and our coordinator told me that 3rd Oct has a confirmed wedding booking so its weird that they said cannot book.he also gave me a quite attractive package. what are the perks you are waiting for?

Glamourous,
I am looking at
-AMPM Photography
-Yew Kwang Photography
-Dreamzcoffee
-Plush Photography
Any comments on them?
Who is your photographer?
So you couldnt get TG Goh for yours? i heard he s quite good. who did you settle for then?

Hi p1ngz, when is your ROM date and Actual date? Can share which bridal studio did you book? i am going to have my ROM in 14th April, excited!

Supergal, dont worry too much, but i do agree that its very tiring to search for hotels within budget and still planning for BS, Guo Da Li.....But it would be good if you had draw up a guest list, then you would know how many tables you need. Just shortlist about 5 hotels will do. Too many also headache!

Hi Fifteenmay,

Eadwine from Plush Photography is good.
I have yet to decide for my AD photographer tho.
Yeap, TG Goh is taken for 20th and 21st Sept 2009 already, since last year 07! Unless your AD not these 2 days, then maybe can get him. =P
My MUA will be Jacqueline Law. =)

hey jaime, very nice website you have.. user friendly esp for computer idiot like me.. hahaha.. i like the way the 2 of u started the relationship.. haha.. u've got really "powerful" smile ya.. glad that u picked up the man of ur life.. hehe..

phaffia, using tapes is so painful.. i can't imagine.. my ROM dress already have paddings so i din wear it any stick-on bra, but come to think of it, if we are getting those gowns with plunging neckline for PS/AD, then maybe good to have stick-on bra for support..

anyway me now tinking of nice wedding songs, esp for march in.. dun wanna use "From this moment" again as it is such a common march-in song.. if u have any suggestions, share with me ya.. =)

yup! 1k is aaaa lot..it can even reach up to 2k!! 'Coz Malay weddings are like the kampong spirit kinda thingy..so if you're inviting this person and if you noe his cousin/auntie, you gotta invite them as well..*headache*

and since our weddings are unlike the Chinese weddings where angbaos are expected, we can't expect to cover the costs as well..

was planning for a hotel wedding too..just for friends..but parents wanna invite their friends as well..urm 2000 guests at a hotel would mean 200K?! err..dun think I have that kinda money..haha..and wouldn't want to offend my parents in the process..

getting the right people is another headache! gosh..there are packages but I find it redundant 'coz why take sumthing you dun wan ryt? so my caterers, deco, make-up, photography etc etc all from different places!

anyway, for BS, you can go to the shop first and let them know roughly what kinda design you would like, do the fittings etc but dun finalise yet..you can do that about a mth b4 the wedding 'coz then you can choose the latest design!=)

okie. I've been to Holiday Inn. Yeah, you might wanna see the ballroom cos they have 3 pillars that block the view. We passed on that hotel cos of that and cos the food is not from a restaurant. Are you gonna ROM first?

noxy - thanks. i did consider that. now trying to find out how much it would cost to find one in paris, vs flying someone up. i am expecting that in europe fees are more ex, so maybe incremental may not be that much. and if so, may be worth paying for someone from singapore since they are more familiar with asian faces...

Fluttering_tails, looks like you have lots of preps to do. Ya, I know what you mean, though we hope to plan the wedding our way, we still have to consider our parents' views. I don't expect to cover costs too. Just hope my guests will have a good time sharing our joy.

Hi Hui, think you are the first June bride here

Hui: Hie Hie! Welcome!=)

Chaos: haven decided yet, usually ours will come with a make up artist..am trying to choose one that does natural make-up..saw a bride once and her foundation was crackin off her face! dun wish that to happen to me! krabi?wooo..haha..so cool! coz thot of having a casual photoshoot too..and my HTB is a rock climber..krabi is THE place..wat's the cost like?

eternal_mates: yup, at the end of the day, we wanna make the wedding a memorable one for everybody! am deciding on the caterer now and trying to find the deco lady's card which I misplaced!grrr...btw, AD is abbreviation for? *blur*

Do you gals know what's the rough estimation if I were to have my own design and get my gown custom-made? hmmm..heard it's rather pricely right..

Welcome Carene! Yipee.. 1 more member in this thread.. Realised our AD dates are very similar (mine 12/02/2009 and urs 21/02/2009).. hehe..

So where is your banquet venue? Better start sourcing for bridal shop soon, esp if you're going for MTM gowns.. actually bridal shops are more or less the same in terms of pricing & perks, i think photography and album design very impt.. as for gowns, their new collections come in every few mths so u can also ask what is the style for next collection to make sure they do have wat u like.. Gd luck in your search!

Chaos, I quite like Bridal Veil and Ted Collection. My hb like Ted Collection because of the good reviews. *Headache* I also heard that it's about 1 year in advance to book for BS. Esp if you have a designer in mind, better to book him early so that he will have sufficient time to mtm the gowns. So you're gg for Yvonne Creations?
happy.gif


Fluttering_tails, AD stands for actual day which is wedding day. I have no idea about the price for mtm gowns. I'm estimating about $1.5k for wedding gown?

Sorry gals...been busy...seems like there's much activity around here today..hehe..

Hi jaimegal,
your wedding website is very well-done! Hehe..can see that you and your SO put a lot of effort in it. Very yong gong. *thumbs up*

Hey misscupid11,
what kind of mood would you like to set during your march-in? Would you like them to have a grand feeling or a sweet, romantic feeling? Some wedding couples have used classical songs like Pachebel's Canon in D which is bit more grand. Other songs which are romantic and sweet include: I've Finally Found Someone by Barbara Streisand and Bryan Adams, A Love that will Last by Renee Olstead.

Hello Carene, welcome to our humble abode. Hehe..we've got one more kaki liao...so happy! All the best in your search.
happy.gif
Me also curious...where will you be planning to hold your banquet?

Hi Michelle, welcome!! Think your idea of having your ROM a few days before your AD is good cos you'll have less to worry about in a day.

Catz, wow, choosing your dress on Fri! You must be excited! I've signed up with Sattine.

Hey Fluttering_tails, the krabi photo shoot is about 1200K per couple on top of the bridal package.

Eternal_Maters, I met the YC photographer during last weekend bridal shoot at Vivocity.I kind of like his style but i'm more gear toward Signoria nuziale as the BS. Still lost don't know which one to go. Ya ya i like Ted Wu too but he's too expensive for me.

Anyone going for the glamour bash in april?

hi chaos, for the krabi photoshoot...apart from the 1.2k, do we need to pay any more additional cost?

eternal mates: yup, ted collection is famous for their gowns. my friend made a cheongsam there for her wedding and it looks really pretty.

hihi all,
thanks for warm the welcome.
For mtm, some BS do have this option included. Like Sophia bride does have mtm option (to return) by paying a few hundreds more. If the mtm gown is for keeps, then it will b very pricy liao.

Anyone of you rom liao? Or will rom on the same day as ad?

Hi Wendy,

the krabi photoshoot is 1.2K for the couple no more additional cost but that is above the bridal package that you purchase. they gave me a package $3088. But i don't think you will have all the photos back. The photographer is really nice, he mentioned that there is a couple who top up the overseas shoot photos to 12K.. yes 12K cos every photos are so so so sooo nice. hee hee

Hi Hui, i'm having my ROM on the same day as my AD. My AD a few days after yours. hee hee.

Hi Michelle, i have abt 2 tables for my ROM.. cos i taking the VIP room so I have to take the most expensive menu of $408++ per table.. the VIP can only take up to 26 pax..

so if you mean 30-40 pax (price range from $308-408), you need to take the main hall (of cos they will partition for you) but solemnisation will be at the center stage.. where the couples need to keep to allocated time slot..

They also have a solemnisation by the river..

Hi Jasmine, yup i'm so excited.. hope my co-ordinator is a nice person.. and can give me advise on what suit me..
