hi Mel...welcome 
I was actually quite surprised that he really went ahead and do the preparation. For a start, he got us 2 appointments with photographers to view their work. And he took over the liaising with our pastor for the MPC session. hope he will continue to put in his effort.
I'm having a dilemma on my choosing bridal shop.
Option A : Go to 1 stop bridal shop and get their package. Our experience is that the BS will usually exchange for a few more photographs for the evening gown which i don't need. However, i haven't seen one photo album i truly like. The advantage will be everything will be taken care of. Don't have to worry about anything and definitely the cheapest in pricing.
Option B : Go for semi-ala carte. Have a designer do my wedding gown and i go get my own photographer for pre-wedding shot. in this way, definitely can get my ideal gown and my ideal photo album. of course, will be expensive compared to option A.
option C : Go for a full ala carte. Buy a wedding gown. Source for own flowers and man suit and everything. Disadvantage : definitely need to do a lot research and ground walk, comparing prices. A lot of coordination needed. In the end, I might really save quite alot, or I might end up spending even more.
Which option would you choose?

After posting, i realised that option C is definitely out for me. i am already having problems with bf just to source venue, photographer. I cannot imagine what will happen if have to start sourcing for so many other nitty gritty stuff.
If i take option A, will save my pocket but i know i won't be truly happy with the decision.
Looks like I have answered my own question! haha

Janine/catz - I am only going for my gown selection mid next month. Happy that at least you all have schedule your PS. LOL.
tulips> act i had e dilemma of ur option A n B b4 i confirm my BS. But aft gg to MBR, i seems to b pretty satisfied n decided to opt for option A. reason being, option B needs too much of a time n mayb too ex + e photos mayb kept in e cupboard aft e wedding so dun think i will wana spend so much on it.
But still, everyone has their own preferences so just stick to urs as long as u r happy k.

tulips> many designers had tie up with photographers.. eg. Silverlinnings, Divine and even Silhouette... price is slightly higher than option A but definitely cheaper than going full ala-carte...
if u have the budget, i think option b is quite good... since u will get what u want mah...

Hi BTB,
That's also another worry... the school holidays. But I suppose there are pros and cons to it. Guests may find it easier to come because they don't have to worry about getting the kids to school in time the next day; but there has to be an allowance for the extra seats needed...
I know it may be rather rude - but since I intend to have an RSVP reply insert in the wedding invite itself, I'd add on the "______ adults / ______ children" just to err on the side of caution. However, we have also decided to take on the additional task of writing the guests' names personally on each and every card (since my fiance thinks it's more polite) I hope they would understand that "Mr & Mrs" and "So-and-So and partner" equals TWO.
I was thinking of initially going with: ..."Request the pleasure of your company in a celebration of..." to save the time consuming task of handwriting the names; but now it looks like we have to go with: ...."Request the pleasure of the company of ________________________" *haiz*
Regarding wedding rings - I would really recommend this place at Tong Building. I posted in another thread here about them... let me see if I can find it. You wouldn't be disappointed! I'll do a follow up post if I can source it.

Hi all,
Maybe you girls may like to check out this store at Tong Building... it's by appointment only, and that leaves you free to choose your setting. You get to choose your diamonds as well - they leave the option to you according to your budget.
It's a very reputable store - been around for 20odd years, mostly through word of mouth. They used to be at Paragon before the rents at Orchard Road shot up (as per what the owner told me) but since they have built a steady clientele over the years... they don't need a frontline store to showcase their jewellery.
The last time I enquired and decided on(!!), a VVS2 G colour trilogy was going for a steal at $3,800. Centre stone 0.4C, side stones at 0.25C each... total of 0.9C.
I'm still drooling over it!!
Just have to wait some time... since it's custom made, they require around 2 months - during which you will have to go down for the fit, to look at the setting, and then the final product.
Bought my wedding rings from them too... reasonably priced despite it being custom made, and even though its simple, the way I prefer it - the subtle details makes it one of a kind!
-------------------------------------------------
Update: When we went to collect our rings, there was a sale that was scheduled two days later - but they were nice enough to show me a 'preview'. I nearly went deliriously mad... prices were slashed up to 80% off as they had to make way for their new collection! I was informed that they have these 'Private Sale's only for the regular customers and those on their mailing list everytime they change their stocks.
Fiance pointed out an absolutely beautiful princess cut channel set half eternity with a total of about 0.6c - tried it together with my band; he took a look, and he signed for it on the spot! It was going for a song... and we totally got a truly good deal.
During and After sales service - top notch. They do polishing for your jewellery anytime - whenever you feel like your bands need it - with their compliments.

hi flyingpig,
thats very cute to say that. I am okay with the short and sweet part cos i value the official and solemn moment. The office JP just wish us a happy marriage and told my hubby to take care of me. It was very warmth and touching.
I will leave all the playing and teasing on the AD.
