emeraldbride > My mum works in king koil got stuff rate but i didn't bought king koil bedsheet. I bought from the far east plaza wedding shop. Quality not bad and with customization. It is really nice. Pay $175 after discount. But my bed is from king koil. Bedframe haven't decided to get from king koil or custom made.

Von > I heard from my sis corporate rate @ True Yoga is $69 / mth. Monthly renewable. Very good rate i feel.

Suzanna > I'm very big too.

Clueless > The cheapest i can find is $13. Hunter Valley at wingtai building near kovan. You know any better deal?

I actually wanna diy some stuff too. But if too packed, guess i will just buy it easier.

 

[greentwinkle12]

Charmaine> think $13 is cheapest. I went to kallang leisure park.. basement got one wine wholesaler. call wine connection. cheapest bottle is $13.90. they have afew outlet, http://www.wineconnection.com.sg

 

[cheenapork]

yooo good morning! wow the thread really flies even though it's only been less than a day since i last logged in.

suzanna> we should be close to each other, i'm in a school at serangoon hehe.

about the photo selection i really think hubbs and i are way too soft... kena tok like nobody's business and by the time we left we were 4K poorer.. and i found out that they charged 3.6K to another couple who got even more things. felt very sad and i told hubbs but he consoled me and told me as long as the albums come out nicely, it is all worth the money. but once i stepped out of the BS, my mind was filled with regrets haha.

for wine, i got mine from carrefour. i'm super not a wine person, so got my dad to choose. he also mentioned that the wine cannot be too sweet, so we got one that has some tart.

think i will be forced to DIY my own corsages for the jiemeis. but i already warned them, if all else fails i making them wear the red chicken rice rubberband hahaha

 

[blurbaby]

cheenapork,

for my jiemei's corsages I had order in June but I had not make myself available to collect it from AMK.. Thou delivery charge is at $3.50.. but i just want to save that money and collect from the lady.. you may view the picture of the corsages that i'm getting for my jiemei on fb.. i got it from Promise to Love..

 

[cherie81]

[cheenapork]

ahblur> eh eh the corsages are pretty! much better than anything i can ever make hoho... how much did u pay per corsage? maybe if u not so lazy we can go down and collect together.. think i will buy from them. and i will bring u to eat yummy amk food!

cherie> no stress la!!! hubbs and i have decided to adopt a 'play-it-by-ear' mentality.. guestlist i will only try to finalize end of this month

 

[cherie81]

cheenapork> I will be away next week for 10 days. Cant do anything then. Hiaz.

 

[cheenapork]

aiyo that is a bit ma fan.. hmm actually i tell u what's the super heng thing for me, my colleague is actually helping me collate the attendance for my workplace! maybe you can do the same? for friends try to settle before you go.. then u will leave with a lighter mind also

 

[bluerosie]

anyone gotten wine from winebos already?
tot of checking them out again since quite familiar with the boss at vino vino..now that they have new outlet near arab street.

 

[groovy2009]

suzanna> So nice you get your pictures already.. My photoshoot is 1 month ago but the bridal never called me to preview :S.. I call them a few times and said she'll get back to me but never get back.

.. Btw I have the same bridal as you. My wedding is on 12 December, now I'm quite panicked.. :S

I will have 2 AD (1 in SG, 1 in Jakarta). Got lots of things to do for both, and now MILTB and my mom also want to travel here for their leisure at different timing in within 1 month from now. Need to do house cleaning as well

..

I counted I have only 7 free days before 12 Nov. Haven't written any invitation card :S..

 

[pekochan81]

mashi! Haha...guess u muz be really excited now ya! But really try to have a good rest the nite before your AD. Coz even though tired, u'll be too excited to sleep! Hehehe...Anyway, CONGRATES & enjoy your Big Day!

 

[blurbaby]

cheenapork..

think i paid each piece for $5.70. But it all depends on the design that you had choosen... just realised that i had bought 1 piece less... OMG.. Hope that she will be able to help on that..

I am bad at arts & craft..

 

[blurbaby]

groovy2009..

if you can afford.. get a part-time maid to do the cleaning up!! so you won't suffer from back problem!!

I will be getting a hourly maid to do my housework 2 times prior to my wedding..

 

[pearlypearl]

Hi everyone! If you are already aware, the price of gold has increased drastically over the past few months. A common friend of my HTB and mine, who own a goldsmith shop told us to hold back from buying our SDJ first as the price of gold might drop in late Nov or early Dec... So if time permits, you might want to take note..

 

[saggiegirl]

emeraldbride> u got any thank u speech??

for us, we have a 2 minute thank you speech...hahaha...not those star award type...

 

[emeraldbride]

saggiegirl, thanks for reminding me!! I got 2 more items to add then..

6. Thank you speech
7. Bouquets of flowers for mom n mil..nothing for fathers..hahah

 

[lovingyou]

Yvonne: I am getting those better quality wine from Crystalwine and the remaining table wine from Hilton itself..

How many quantities are u looking at?

Suzanna & Ahblur: same here... I told my designer to edit some of the photos further, but overall, he did a good job.. Going to view the layout the 2nd time on this coming Friday.

Charmaine: so good.. which coy ur sis frm? I am hoping to get subsidaries from my coy under their fitness plan..

groovy: perhaps u might want to call them to check on this?

pearlypearl: thanks but a little too late for me.. my MIL got the items le...

emeraldbride: just heard from my parents that bride's parents will also be giving ang baos to the groom's parents and siblings for them to buy new shoes and clothes for the wedding..

 

[cherie81]

littlewoman> Where you got your Crystalwine?

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: I got the contacts from one of my friend..

 

[junel]

ahblur-> you brought from love wristlet ar.. i might be thinking abt that.. do they do customisation?

 

[pearlypearl]

I got my wine from Golden Hung Ho..

http://www.onestopliquor.com/index.asp

 

[cherie81]

Hiaz... the carrefour wine doesnt seem to our liking. Hotel is giving us 24 bottles for 35 tables. My HB said want to get another 40+ bottles. Maybe I will just get a french table wine in the end

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: How much is the hotel charging you? Normal french table wine should costs about S$11-S$18..

Any additional cockage charges for outside wine?>

 

[mashi_mashi]

pekochan81,
haha.. hmm.. getting the feel lor. but bery fast will over de. haha..
but still wan to slp as my co ordinator saw me ytd say my panda eyes coming out liao. better slp more. haha...

thanks thanks....

 

[taime81]

Cheenapork > My hubby is quite firm on the selection. So we didn't takeup even thou the bridal offer us a super good rate. To be frank, i'm very tempted to take up cause really cheap, so i told them i'll reconsider but just told them i'm not topping up. I think got time to reconsider topup is good.

Ah blur > Where to see yr corsages? What is yr name in fb?

pearlypearl > I heard the gold price will be keep going up until next year. Thus i rush to buy all the gold required. Btw, the chinatown gold shop is really cheap. The identical bracelet i saw at yishun cost 508 (after discount) but i got it at chinatown gold shop cost me $446 only. I didn't bargain cause they never charge workmanship and gst.

 

[cherie81]

littlewoman> No cockage charge for outside wine or liquor. Our budget for wine is about $20/bottle. Not sure how much is the hotel charging for their wine thou.

 

[taime81]

Cherie > You should be able to get yr price list from hotel. I got the list of red wine prices which i sign up the packages.

littlewomen > Where you saw so cheap. $11. The cheapest i can find is $13.

 

[cherie81]

Charmaine> Got the price list in my email but lazy to see.

 

[cheenapork]

charmaine> wow u really firm. i think me and hubbs already look like the softie type, so they just go all out and chopchopchop!!!!

ahblur> yeah quite ok leh the price. i think i will be asking them to make also! yay no need to do yucky arts&craft!

 

[taime81]

cheenapork > I also getting for them. LOL.
Just email them the price for the piece i'm keen.
Anyway i only got 4 jie mei, buy easier. lol. My hubby told me before hand, do be tempted. I deleted all i do not like 1 and i ask hubby to choose. LOL. After 2nd round of selection, we got 47 nice one which i like, then he deleted until 35. Ok lah the 1k plus i can get 2 gucci bag in europe. Hubby prefer me to buy bag than photos.

 

[pearlypearl]

Charmaine> Ohh.... btw, how about white gold har? should be no impact on the gold prices ya?

As for the wine, i would say it is not advisable to get from hotel as their prices are still higher than wholesalers in any way... well, my 2 cents worth

 

[greentwinkle12]

i wanna see the corsages too

havent order for my JMs too.. care to share the link? thanks!

 

[cheenapork]

i confirmed my MUA for my mum... through mymakeup bar

$90 for junior MUA with MU & hairdo...something nice for my mama who take care of me for 30 years

ya lor....gold price keep rising...

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: I see.. in that case, you might want to consider table wine at about S$16? Frnech wine.

Charmaine: haha..that price is valid if I am using a friend's discount card.

pearlypearl: depends on how much the hotel is charging for cockages charges, if the price doesn't have vast differences, easier to get from hotel.

saggiegirl: wow, that is worthwhile.. MY friend is charging S$100 for MU and hairdo.

 

[cheenapork]

saggiegirl> i got my own MUA from french bridal to do for my mummy, my MIL and my sis.. she's charging 80 per head for makeup and hairdo. yeah i want everyone to look pretty pretty on my big day haha!

gold prices rose at least 8 bucks over the past year.. really crazy

 

[blurbaby]

Charmaine,

My name is Angel Than

anyway my email is [email protected]

 

[taime81]

Littlewomen > Just wanna check with you $100 is for day only or for day and night?

Pearlypearl > I getting 1 cartoon. The balance not enought i usually hotel ones cause not a lot of diff. $5 per bottle. Rather than i stockup so much.

pearlypearl > If not mistaken the white gold portion still is based on gold price. But you probably do not see a lot of diff cause usually white gold comes with diamond. And diamond is high margin.

Got to go work. Bye ladies.

 

[blurbaby]

saggiegirl, 90 is for hairdo & makeup for 1 mom??
