[gili]

hi Irene, have you confirm Mrs Teo as ur florist?
I haven't confirm my florist. Still have time right?

 

[angeliqueous]

yvoone/saggiegirl, Thanks! that seems like need to ask for 3 times. agree that we all had wedding at peak month Dec where most people plan for holidays, have another wedding, clashes of wedding events (within 3 months cannot attend if "pang tang"),etc.

candyrock, my gf got her shoes at Loe and Behold and she recommends alot. too bad, i had a really small feet as they only had size 5 and above. i finally got my 4" "bing" shoes for my EG at anna nucci for 100++ and lots of bings (worth it!). then i also went to leaping lizards to customise my off-white WG shoes at 100++ too. it had a nice flower and very stable 4" heels. u can basically choose everything from the fabric, flower, type of crystals, type of heel, shape of soles and even small parts like the buckles for the strip. i am actually quite amused.

 

[angeliqueous]

akino, had you settled on the wrist corsages? i became obsessed making them the last time that i went to buy more material to make for leisure but i actually don't need that much of extras
i also still had quite alot of material left and can transfer to you if you are interested to DIY.
let me know.

 

[dizonne]

nanson,
i understand hw u feel...esp when there's peepz or cousins who juz got married rather recently..haizz...then they will xpect tings to b exactly e same as before...but wat they dunno is tat diff couples hav diff expectations and 'dream wedding'...

Couting down 39 days!! Feeling the jitters..hahaha

 

[dzxz]

oh p00h hee but is not a must to sign the form before filing on line right as long I have this details can liao right...sobsob

 

[saggiegirl]

candyrock> yes both my heels are equally matching for my gowns

so no need to buy more heels liao...

 

[garfieldhello]

Yvonne > Now got 10% discount … no membership de wor

saggiegirl > My wife very kiasu, the “xi” confirm got many extras to “stand by”, lol.

 

[rierie]

mm..now trying to decide whether to have live band or not..girls!! help!! haiz..dunno whether to have it or not..i wanna have live piano playing for my first march in song and professional emcee..haiz..but all so ex..any recommendation?

 

[akino]

hehe thanx Angeliqueous but my sisters offer to do it for me..

ae why you all have 2 shoes? i only have 1 which is my rom de. should i buy another 1? but only wear once right...

 

[pekochan81]

ling> I've checked. The brand of the odourless insecticide is sheltox. Hehe

mashi> Haha...ya lah, insects really irritating. So we brainstorming the most efficient way to get rid of them!

 

[saggiegirl]

Garfield> lol...

akino> i have 2 pairs as 1 is main, 1 is standby

 

[mashi_mashi]

pekochan81,
haha. agree.
my current house hor. alot of ants de. but then dun knw the ants come fr where...
but sometimes all will disappear then appear again... sianz...

 

[ixoral]

evelyn: filing for ROM is not difficult at all.

just need you and hubby's particulars as well as parents' particulars ready on hand.

i've been to weddings with live songs played for 1st march in. very nice! i have a close pianist friend who plays for wedding on a freelance basis. If u dont mind i can intro to u..can PM me

 

[the_chosen_one]

Thanks, pekochan81!

 

[pekochan81]

mashi> Yaya!! I agree! They can suddenly appear, then suddenly disappear the very next day. Scary!

ling> No prob!

 

[queendiamond]

Angeliqueous (angeliqueous) --> where is the loe and behold at? I also got problems with finding shoes for my wedding.

 

[mrsleekm]

Wedding should be a nice & enjoyable process. I'm sure after this BIG project we will not be planning another big one at least for the next few months * disclaimer unless you are super efficient*

Afterall, it is all worth it. 1 year of preparation in the end is a smile. It is a challenge getting help from friends and family. When it comes to finances, family support very important also.

XKA, you shells very nice. I think you can throw away the eroded shells i gave u.... like cant stand on the big stage with your nice shells...

My cousin held a 5 course dinner 2 years back and it has always been the topic of the day whenever there is a wedding going on. Why? No GDL. No traditional Chinese wedding banquet. No MUA, simple make-up done by the bride. Bride wore slippers - used slippers on AD.

No matter what we are still on track given the situation above.

 

[dizonne]

Jasjoe,
No arh..ur shells oso veri nice...i got use for them..esp e 2 HUMONGOUS shells..keke....those at lalaa picked for mi at Changi beach oso got use...How can dun use?? They mean alot to me k..THough we cant attend each others meeting, but having them and e btls at mi wedding, will remind mi of all the help and support rendered by each n everione of you here...so MUZ use...keke

and hor, dun scare mi leh..mine oso like ur cousins..hahaha...aldente beach wedding..haha...no champagne pouring, cake cutting immediately after ROM, and we will do 1st march in in flipflops, berms and shirt for him, flipflops and short tube dress for me...sm more jet ski..haha..tink his parents will faint..coz they hav no idea abt tis yet...nt even our bridal party koes..onli e emcee koe...hehehe

n with regards to the used shoe, i tink nt so bad leh..coz alot of us used our AD shoes for PS...so dun tink tat reali counts ba...

 

[zzzz]

wat is the shop name in arab st that sell ribbons and flowers.. wat are their opening hrs like? anyone know?

 

[jascmy]

Oh no, my hotel coordinator resigned and tmr will be her last day. Worried about the change of coordinator. Heard a lot of ppl complained about bad service etc. when there is a changed of hotel coordinator.

 

[dizonne]

gal,
u go to lobby entrance of golden landmark hotel, then walk s8 dwn the road till the traffic light. Cross opp and continue down the road. The ribbon shop is the 3rd or 4th last shop from the end of the road. Before it is a turkish restaurant, and movenpick icecream shop. You will see peepz smoking the Turkish smoke pot(wateva u call tat) as u walk along de...I duno e name of e shop, but it closes at 5pm. Not sure if they open on Sundays. Best is to go there before 5pm on Saturdays.

drew a simple map for you. Red star is e shop, and e red n green are traffic lights..

 

[the_chosen_one]

JasCMY> Same here! Mine also just changed coordinator. Havent meet up with him yet, but he seems quite responsible (at the moment). Asking us for the wedding card design and number of tables etc.

 

[rierie]

ixoral: really? can roughly tell me how he charges? can email me at [email protected]?

i enquired from Our Suite Success. my conclusion is don't waste ur time and effort.

 

[gili]

ling, Jascmy,
mine too. very worried

 

[p00h]

dzxz, as long as you have the details and JP is agreeable, i think it shld be ok to file and sign later.. hee, for me is JP wanna meet me to sign 1st..

evelyn, have u choose the cards already.. its not possible to get cards on 1st visit.. how much is the professional emcee, i dont really have frds who talk well.. wahaha

 

[rierie]

pooh, choose le..will get from hotel this saturday. then go to JB to print. dunno how long it will take to print..mm..

i think professional emcee starts from about 500? you are try yourstrulywedding @ Ginny at 97967779. think their semi pro emcee is 350. check with them ba..

 

[jascmy]

Job market so good ah, most coordinator changing job. Maybe they going over to IR at marina.

 

[its_fate]

Think it's very common to have changes in banquet coordinator. High turn-over rate in this line.

Make sure U are being informed who is the one taking over your profile. Make a point to contact him/her now as the AD is coming closer......

 

[octo]

candyrock> My rom shoe is also from anna nucci. I bought from Far east 2yrs ago and still very sturdy. I wore them for my PS recently. But hor, it get very dirty after the PS, especially if you are thinking of going to the beach, forest area and water stuff. And like what saggiegirl had shared, the pics cant really take the shoes as the gown will cover them all up. Hee.. can save the money on new shoes.

Oh, Anna Nucci also have a branch at Jurong Point.

I am thinking if I should buy a new pair for my AD. Ummm...

 

[felifeli]

[ixoral]

Evelyn, dzxz: this freelance pianist is my good friend. She has been playing for wedding receptions (b4 dinner) and also the during part. This is her email: [email protected] You girls may just drop her an email to check on her quote! Can say you are recommended by Cindy. hee

dzxz: i did send a save the date email to my colleagues, mainly to ask for their availability on my wedding date. If they dont reply, i will either ask in person (since colleagues ma) or i will sms.
