Hi all,

I will most prob be a Nov 2010 BTB too.. had jumped from Jul 2010. Saw Long shifu last week and seemed like Jul 2010 is not very auspicious for us. Most prob like most ppl we will be choosing 14 Nov 2010 too!
The only thing now is waiting for FFIL to nod his head to this date.. if not need to change again.
Somehow he say Sunday is not a good choice for dinner cos ppl need to work on Monday. But Sunday lunch sounds good too right? But his grandma say lunch is for Hainanese only... Haiz..So difficult to settle with a date.

Any advice?

 

[flyingstar]

huh? lunch is for hainanese?? hmmm...this is the first time i heard of it...nowadays a lot of ppl throw luncheons...i have like 2 cousins and a few friends who also had luncheon weddings. i personally think it's good because i have the evening to "digest" the lunch and then don't have to worry about going home late.

how about saturday dinner? or friday dinner? hmm...at least people don't have to work the next day. but of course the price also very expensive...but give and take lo...if you are not going to throw a big grand wedding then the costs (or losses) won't be too high.

somehow i get the feeling that your folks prefer a saturday dinner...because no need to work on sunday and it's not a lunch...

but i'm having luncheon on sunday too!! unlike most btbs here my date is 7 nov. hehe. after we booked our banquet, me and bf feel so slack over everything else!! geez. need to get the BS booked also...but we are so not looking forward to it.

I find that a lot of the BS ppl tend to be very pushy...very stressful man...

 

[vernica]

same feeling flyingstar! after we booked banquet, feel super relax n slack over everything else. a bit more kiasu than you, we have booked our BS.

)

 

[geriko]

this is such a headache.. after finding out from some aunts and friends, my htb's family thinks its ok to have luncheon..hopefully we can confirm this by tmr then can book the banquet venue.
If having luncheon means that the tea ceremony and etc will have to be done on another day right?
btw, i booked the BS even before I confirm the banquet. was kind of "pushed" into signing the package.. now a little regret abt it.

 

[zhu]

Hi flyingstar..
my AD is also 7 Nov...

which hotel and BS you booked?

 

[flyingstar]

vernica...haha, i think we are all the same. thinking that the day is still far away!! lol. which BS you chose and why?

geraldine...relax!! tea ceremony can be together with ur luncheon. i intend to do mine before the lunch. so that guests wont be late and we can start on time. heh. alternatively you can have yours after the luncheon...but for gatecrash and all that, must see whether you have enough time in the morning or not.

pauline...finally found someone same as me! haha. my hotel is marriott. but BS still in limbo... how about you?

 

[geriko]

yah doing my best not to get too stressed over this.. anyway, now my HTB's family has chosen another date.. 2 Jan 2011.. from Jul to Nov and now Jan... I shall move myself to the Jan 2011 thread then.

 

[vernica]

Hi flyingstar,
my BS is Digio, erm, no why, was very comfortable with the coordinator.

Geraldine, u may stay here to chat and exchange info. no worries

mine is also luncheon, intending to do my side of tea ceremony at the hotel cos the suite is quite big plus i was given a day room for helpers. wasn't quite interested in the gate crash thingy so we might have ample time, but then again, all up to my 'sisters'

 

[flyingstar]

vernica, you signed up during those wedding show? or you walk-in? i heard at wedding shows perks are better...but I also dunno whether it applies to all BS.

Guess i better get started on researching for BS already...seeing that most of you already booked it! >.<

 

[yuki_21]

flyingstar (flyingstar) : I suggust you go down to see the gown before you go for the wedding show. Cos at the wedding show there is no gowns and etc. Go down to see the style, the material etc...
The things are all rather standard.

Some BS that i shortlisted is Digio, Labelle, and another one at bugis(i forgot the name) I like digio photographer, labelle gown . End up i took labelle.

so after u see..u can consider to take there or go take at wedding show.. there is alot of wedding show..so no worries.

 

[zhu]

flyingstar...I'm with M hotel...my BS is La-Vie

 

[vernica]

hi flyingstar,
we went to collect photos with BTB's sis, who is happily married now. she took up french and have neg. feedback so we went down to 'experience' it ourselves. very hard selling and we very bad, told that lady off.

then went to look around tanjong pagar area and settled for digio.

 

[yuki_21]

vernica L boo (vernica) : Ya..heard alot of bad comments for french lah...price also steep... hahahaha

Pauline (zhu) : how is the place at M hotel ? you got any photo ?? How is thepackage also ? care to share ?

 

[flyingstar]

hi yuki! ya i thought of going down to BS first and take a look, before committing to anything. But i'm scared of the hardselling and then i also dunno what exactly to look for. frankly i think all the gowns look the same and photography looks similar...haha.

but i have read around...there are certain BS which must be avoided! haha. So at least i started somewhere...

Flyingstar...
you might want to try La-Vie. You will be dealing directly with the designer and not coordinator. No hard sell. They will allow you to try their gown, no obligation

And they only have 1 pckg, unless other BS.

Check out their review.

cheer
