dun think u will have a problem w too many wedding gowns! haha, just tt i think evening gowns are bright and colourful too! for me, my WGs and EGs are all pastel colours!
sinplyme> i was recently looking for 4 similar ties for xiong di as well. Its quite difficult to get so many of the same but managed to find it at bugis village and they had max 4 pieces for each colour.. unless u looking for white, black, grey then its much easier to find. Bugis junction has one of those push-cart selling ties too but abit more ex.
sinplyme> I bought mine at $10 each last week. I can't remember which shop I bought at but they hung all the ties up high. Its quite visible if you walk pass. There are alot of colours, blue should be available but not sure abt the quantity. I bought gold ties and there were only 4.
The push cart at Bugis junction (near the bridge from Illuma) is selling the same tie but at $12.90 each and 3 for $30.
me: According to chinese tradition, if you attend each other wedding, it clashes the good luck of both the newly wed. The impact of the ONE who got married first is lesser than the one after. That's what i heard from my aunties etc..Some of my friends are getting married this yr & early next yr can't attend mine too. Unless u & ur family (or your friend) is fine with it.
hey ppl, it been so long that i come into this forum.. how everyone preparation?
I went for my PS in june last week went to choose the photos. I LOVE MY PHOTOS!!! It turn out really Nice and at 1st I was worried that the photos will turn out nt nice haha
need to seek some advice in here.. how do we broach the subject of bride price to our parents? Should the groom ask the bride's parents directly or should the groom's parents suggest the amount when both sides meet?
Hi, I am helping my friend to post. He is looking for couples to do pre-wedding shoots for his portfolio. Anyone is interested here? He do have some experiences taking wedding photos but not much that's why he need more portfolio for his website. If interested, pls pm me for his contact.
thomas> wow so long.. hmm i better check w my BS then.. eh CHimjes told me to send email but they never reply me.. shld i call them again??
k_jsmn> its better for u to brooch the topic w ur parents first. or else there might be some unhappiness over the amt?? so its good for u to ask ur parents and know what is their expectations
Hie Sinplyme! Thank you for consolidating the list!

Am taking my outdoor & indoor shoot on Aug… my bridal studio request me to pay around 80% of the contract sum to them..
we felt that it’s too much as we haven’t even get to choose the photos and album design … they argued that it is written on the invoice..
Is this the common practice (to pay 80-85% b4 even able to see the photos)?
simplesweet > I'm not sure about the market practice but I paid a sum on the contract signing and then another on the day of my PS (after the PS, went back to studio) and it amounts to about 70+%.
lin > thot of the live band before but it's costly.
My colleagues did some googling when I brought up this idea... and you can see some of their works on youtube.

Hey deb & sinplyme,
Thanks for the info, shall stick to 75% then..
Am juz a little worried, coz the bs ever lost a couple's photos b4...
Lin, I'm also engaging a live band.. Wat i know is some cost around $800 only.. While some > $2k ..
Depends how many instrument n session u want as well..
I haven't decide too ...
Heard 'a little dream' is good ..
simplesweet > what are the companies that cost $800 only? May consider if it's within the budget.
Btw, I took at Hort Park *if that's the park* but I haven't got any pictures to share yet.
