yeah i agree... most of my couples friends got their wedding bands at around $500+ in total.

My bf and I wanted gold wedding bands and it also cost us ard $500+. So don't worry

For home preparation - you can also start to look around. the Singapore sale is coming in May, i am sure you will find better deals then. Just look at the IT show... super good deals :p

We din manage to see any rings that we like in those retail shops so we have gotten our fren to do our wedding bands for us and it's considered cheap for the quality n workmanship as each ring is about 4 to 5mm n is about $600+ each. We have actually budget eveything already so if the 2nd pymt thing can b negotiate than all the problems will be gone.

my bf n i intend to look for our bed during great spore sale in may - june.

looking at our plans we dun need to buy alot of things. the main thing is just for wedding preparation and our bed. thats all. we are in no hurry to buy a house will rent a place to stay for the time being since HDB prices is still so high.

$600+ each? that's expensive to me...mine's less than 500 for a pair.

anyway like what winter said, GSS is coming again in May/June, so scout ard for what u need then.

hi lovebethere,

what mi & bf do was seat down n have a heart to heart talk about what kind of wedding we wan. example, simple wedding or a more grand & dreamy wedding. den plan your financies by budgeting everything so that you will follow the guideline in your budget list to avoid overspending and spending on unnecessary items.

also avoid signing Bridal studio package on impulse example during wedding fair or road shows. (this is the advise given by my a few of my frens who is getting married this year & next year.)the sales people is very good at persuading ppl to sign during wedding fairs, but alot of my frens regret signing during the wedding fair / road shows.

Book yr banquet in advance exp for dates that are popular.

for bridal studio look around before commiting. try out the gowns to see if you look good in it before signing the package with them.

lovebethere > u can sign at bridal fairs, etc for their promotions BUT .. make sure u have gone down to their shops to see their gowns and try first .. shortlist a few probably 3-5 den eventually decide on the one u like .. if the one u like do participate in bridal shows, etc, den wait till the bridal shows to get a good deal .. nv nv sign on impulse at any bridal fairs cos u probably wud not be able to see n try their gowns there .. do ur research by reading up on reviews in the forums .. last but not least, be firm!

for banquets, u must first decide on the period u wud like to get married den go ask for suitable dates. go for the wedding shows to view their wedding setups n food tasting if have. u must also discuss with ur htb wad is a comfortable budget (be prepared to make a loss in ur angbao collections) u have for the wedding ..

with all the above in mind, everything shld fall in place properly ..

we found a venue!! with meritus mandarin...

i did look at some samples of the gowns but wat we're more concerned with is the photography style.. as for gowns, i dont 'get' what is good-looking or suitable, i dont have a very strong preference, i just want simple. i'm not very specific with my preferences nor am i good at judging... that's why we decided to sign for mainly for the service...

have yet to decide whether or not to engage a professional videographer... may ask a friend to do our AD photog...

hi all

previously i posted here and mention about the 2nd payment for my banquet after food tasting. we went down to talk to them on sunday and yesterday they called my bf and gave another suggestion. they allow us to make 3 separate payments which comes out to the same which will be tightening our finances. haiz

mrs wenlim...

actually i think its standard for your restaurant to ask for 2nd payment.. i asked a friend who's having her wedding dinner at the same place as yours in a few months time, she has already paid her 2nd payment, and like you, also quite unhappy at their inflexibility to have different combinations of door gifts and cant even show them the actual table cloth used on dat day!

maybe can try to negotiate to pay half of the original stated 2nd payment, then try to get advance from your parents if possible or put the food tasting closer to ur wedding date, so that if u sign the credit card for your 2nd payment, can still pay the actual amount after your wedding day...

just a suggestion la

cheer up..

the 2nd payment is in their policy but it was not convey to us so i just feel that it's unfair of them to do so. They are not even willing to nego on letting us pay after the banquet when we have already told them our difficulities. Anyway forget it if need to we will have no other choice but to loan.

Amrasenelya > i have asked them if they will show us the actual cloth used and they told me on food tasting that day actual table cloth will be shown & actual door gifts will be shown to choose as well. have your friend choosen her stuff n who is her in-charge at the restaurant?
i dun understand how can we choose from photos n not actual cloth when the colors and etc is diff from actual things shown. i will demand for the actual items to be shown before confirming everything and payment. It's promised to me so they can't back out wad is promised.

Thomas > thanks will cheer up and not get angry to give myself more stress and problems.
