Congrats to you Guan Ying.

26k for 5rm sounds good..anyway can u share with me which furniture shop do u buy form in IFC. I heard some bad stories about some of the shops there, not sure if its true tho.

anyway gals, ur are so fast!! haha buying wedding shoes already. hmm..I am going to my hotel's wedding fair this sat to check out the actual look of the themes hehe...i will try to decide my colour theme before PS.

 

[dazel]

melb, about the shoes, tat's wat i been thinking too as I intend to use my worn white heels + some DIY on it. Since its worn and will be comfy. New shoes first time wear will be quite painful.

 

[yingying945]

Thks Jean.

I bought my dinning table at the shop on the right hand side of the main entrance. The furniture there are not cheap in fact, but it was christmas period when I bought it, so there was promotion. I bought it @$950 (one table with 6 chairs).Service quite ok, but quality of the chairs not so good.

My bed frame was bought on level 2 i think, the shop is selling european style furniture, should be easy to find(will let u know the unit # if i can find the invoice). both sevice and quality r ok..i bought my bed frame @ S650 (king size white color wooden bed frame)

I have taken the photos of my home, but sizes r too big to upload here, i can email u if u want, or u can add me in facebook...

 

[melb]

thks ladies for the info on the shoes.. I probably go shoe hunting nxt mth or Nov when my wedding gown is ready..

another thing, will u be wearing the same for the whole day? or do we need to get other shoes to match our other gowns?

 

[missyling]

melb: it depends on your own. You can have as many as you want if you want to match your gowns. But i think i will have extra pair to standby just in case... *touchwood* anything happen to the shoes i am wearing on...

 

[jigglez]

Thanks Guan Ying. Can you share your photos with me at [email protected]? Anyway, I doing platform so not buying bed frame..

Shoes wise: think we should get one day and one evening pair right? Should not be easy to match different feel of gowns with same shoes?

Anyway, girls...I got a friend in the liquor line. If you are interested to get wine for your wedding, pm me.

 

[missyling]

Jean, unless your gown is those that can see your shoes.. if not, hidden inside.. no one can see anythings... 1 of my gf.. she was so tired that she changed to a slipper where no one noticed until she show us what she did...

 

[mikanmikan]

Hihi, I'm a May BTB too. Just wondering what are some of the things I shd start getting ready for? ;p So far, I've only booked my banquet venue, bridal boutique. My hb and I seem to be rather free, so much so that I'm wondering if this shd be the case. ;p

 

[missyling]

mika, hahaha free? its normal... most of us here are just counting days to pass as well...

 

[kinokino]

hihi, any swissotel or fairmont brides here?

 

[jigglez]

I see..Ling..thats true huh...maybe i should choose one thats long enough, then I can wear slippers too!! haha..

Welcome mika, like what Ling says, we are all very free haha...but u can start booking ur AD PG, maybe source for your bridesmaid dresses or other small details.

 

[missyling]

jean... hahaha am going standby a flat as well.. just in case my feet get too tired.. even if people can see.. its only the toe part they be seeing.. so get a nicer part of flat will help.

 

[vala]

Hi there,

Anyone of you did the MTM wedding gown? i was thinking of few different options.

1) get MTM at local tailor shop.
2) get online bridal gown, MTM.

Not sure if it's cheaper getting the online bridal gown...

Thoughts anyone?

Cheers,
Christy

Hi ladies or gents (if any), any advice on actual day reg & vg services

or cartoon animation if you know of any based on the current trend?

 

[stellareis]

Hey Gigi, it really depends on what you're looking at and your budget. For specialized field, you may consider Lighthouse for VG and RaymondPhang for PG, for one-stop service with VG+PG+Cartoon Coffee n Tea Dreamworks.

Most importantly, visit them and get a good feel from their works and services!

 

[sotongada]

[hyacinth96]

hi all,

nice to meet u all!

I am a May BTB too. my date is on the 22/5/2010.

I have booked my banquet and bridal shop.. but nt yet to look out for house.. will start looking in nov.. will it be too late?

 

[missyling]

Yayun, hahaha u r so funny... i will be going back home after the dinner as well. Don't think will book a hotel nearby cause whole day won't be in there, don't think will be able to get any rest. Bery lugi to just book it to put things. Hahaha

Hi Hyacinth welcome to may brides

Actually it depends on how long you need to confirm when the owner can give you the key, how long HDB will take to process the paperworks etc and the reno contractor will take to design your house etc ... its always better to start ASAP as you can cause cannot confirm you will get or like the house.

Alamak.. y i always sound so lor soh... *age is catching up*

 

[hyacinth96]

Ling,

thanks for the advice. haha u r nt lor soh la..

next week i am going to select my rom dress.. so excited.. but i am still looking for wedding shoes.. any recommendation?

 

[hyacinth96]

i went to anna nucci to see b4.. but cant find anything that i like yet.. wonder hv any places to look for wedding shoes?

 

[missyling]

hyacinth: actually wedding shoes are everywhere, it just depends on your liking and how much you are willing to pay. Prehaps look around taka if you are willing to spend. If not, its always the normal brand like charles & keith, pretty fit, Anna Nucci etc

 

[sotongada]

Jean: lor soh?? no la..since ok leh..i also lor soh at times..hahha...woman's character...BTW, Which restaurant did u book??

Hyacinth: Welcome to join us..R u looking for resale or new flat??Pricing quite steep now right??If resale, better start now cos u need to arrange time to view flat..then 1st and 2nd appt w hdb...For me, I started looking last year nov and i got mine in feb (after all required procedures cos my ex-owner immgrating)...

 

[missyling]

Yayun.. u really sotong eh.. u replying to me right? why type JEAN... hahaha
i booked peony jade for my dinner.

 

[sotongada]

haha...thats why i said im a sotong...at times tend to be octopus..hahhaha...paiseh...

[soul_slayer]

Soul_slayer:

[soul_slayer]

Yayun > U gg to City Square or further in? My package cost abt S$2300...30 poses...I took the European theme...a bit lazy to browse around...like so many info cramming into my mind sometimes...haha...

 

[missyling]

Yayun: hahaha when too many sotongs get together.. we might become calamaris later...

soul: you might want to ask MR phang.. my cousin and i had him as our solem.
His contact is 97503633

 

[hyacinth96]

thanks thanks..

really have to start looking for flats already.. i m looking for resale flat near my parents house.. nw the prices are still very high.. tough time..

 

[sotongada]

Hyacinth:
ya prices for resale is very very high...COV asking abt 50-60k leh...lucky I bought mine earlier...@ clementi 4rm high lvl at $0 COV..and some more walking distance to mrt...hehe shd consider heng ar and 'tan dio le'..

Ling:
this time i get the right person baz..hehe Calamaris nice ma..so no worries..and of cos we are 100%, definitely nice too..

Soul Slayer:
I'm not looking at so many poses leh..hehe..cos i am not a very photogenic person lor..BTW, do we need to pay tax when we bring the albums/gown back to sg??Shd be Free from tax right?

 

[soul_slayer]

Ling > Thanks! I will jot that contact down..

now I'm looking ard for gd mattress...haha...heard tt Serta mattress not bad..might drop by IMM to take a look....

 

[soul_slayer]

Yayun > I have yet to bring the album back to SG leh...really no idea abt tax but I'm sure if there is, the sales person would have told me...maybe when I go there again for the gown selection, I will ask them and let u know...

Actually I think 30 poses quite little le...cos you still need to fill the pages of an entire album mah...so 30 poses is prob the min le...

 

[soul_slayer]

Yayun> oooh I just read abt ur Clementi flat..hehe...cos after wedding, I will also be moving in to my husband's house in Clementi..but his flat is nearer to West Coast Plaza..not tt near to the station like yours...heh...

As for album, if really min is 30 poses, then i might drop the idea of hving the album..just get the big piece one and a few for photo frames lor..the main is still the gown..im going in this weekend..BTW, i dun think the sales person will noe cos taxes matter is at the custom ma..
