i dun have any dream gown in mind... more particular bout whether the cut is suitable for me. so if i find a gown suitable for me, i dun mind OTR.

anyway just wondering, since we'll be choosing our gowns early, then what if by e time we collect our gowns for AD, it is old and tattered...

to be safe, i did opt for 2 mtm gowns. anyway can exchange for more photos if i dun want.

so lin, which BS have u decided on?

 

[summerdays]

hi deb,
so which BS did you choose in the end? you got a great deal with AD PG and 50 poses

Thomas,
can I see your wife self-designed gown as well? I also have in mind what I want

cant wait to tell my designer.

 

[summerdays]

happy girl,
I think once you choose your gown, they might set it aside or limited to 2 brides per otr.. (I heard from one of the bs) you should ask your BS. which BS did you choose?
I signed with Digio few weeks ago... have nt hear from them since them

 

[thommy]

50 poses is a lot deb...u got good bargaining skills

lin,

no prob, can't show u guys until after my AD is over cos my wife wanna keep her guests in suspense haha =) that's good, its very satisfying to see ur dream gown turn into reality slowly

 

[summerdays]

so when is your AD, thomas?

 

[thommy]

coming real soon in march haha

 

[deborahng]

lin> i signed up w CangAi

lol....

thomas> my htb is the one good at bargaining.. haha

 

[happygirl198230]

hi lin,

my BS is rico-a-mona. not sure how the gowns are like cos it was Golden Horse Tamp previously.

have u all made appointment to choose ur gowns? i've made mine for mid march. hee hee.

 

[summerdays]

good deal, deb

hi happy girl, think my BS, Digio is also sister company with Golden Horse. I have not made any appointment. my friends kept chasing me to call them. I thought of waiting for them to call Not too late, rite?

 

[happygirl198230]

lin, will they call? for me, im too excited bout choosing my gown, i called mine. haha...

digio had nice gowns too!

 

[summerdays]

happy girl, they said will arrange for measurement before CNY but have not hear from them. should I call?

 

[happygirl198230]

lin,

yeah i think u shld! no harm n can arrange for a gd date to go down. choose a time whereby nt so crowded...

 

[haze83]

Hi all BTBs,

Anyone have any suggestion what to put into a wedding pinata???

 

[deborahng]

morning... Need to go down to choose PS gowns or AD gowns?? I was actually thinking of going just 2 mths before to choose.. Is that too rush?? Mine is OTR though

 

[thommy]

deb: OTR also needs some time to alter if it doesn't fit u...best is to check with ur BS how long they need to alter, then work from there. cheers

 

[deborahng]

thomas> i tout 2 mths sufficient.. haha then think i need to readjust my timeline

 

[thommy]

depends on ur BS' workload also mah, if they got a lot of gowns to alter or got a lot of ppl getting married that mth, sure will have delays. check with ur BS is the best

 

[happygirl198230]

deb,

but u need ur otr gown for ur photoshoot right? how to choose 2 months b4? or can e almum is ready so soon?

 

[thommy]

maybe her PS gown is not the same OTR gown as AD?

 

[summerdays]

Hi happy girl,
I have not called. Dragging my feet... Hope he will call me this week else I will call next week

I am in between jobs now. So free yet so lazy

wonder if it's too early to book buffet for church and home. Anyone has any ideas?

 

[happygirl198230]

thomas,

wah so gd, got so many WGs to wear... haha... yeah, my friend has many different gowns too and ad gowns different fr ps gowns.

lin,

yeah i think its a bit early... but im on the lookout for buffets. personally i like neo garden food.

 

[deborahng]

happy girl> my PS was going to be taken in Taiwan but now plans might be changes... so actual plans was choose PS gowns in taiwan and AD gowns in Sg... Now PS might have to be taken in SG

 

[thommy]

deb: how come?

 

[deborahng]

thomas> cos it depends on my house valuation. That is gonna be an additional expenses so not choice

 

[thommy]

oic...nvm lah, take in SG also nice de

I love my PS pics hee hee...

 

[xinyue]

thomas > where did you take your PS? I am taking mine in May.. So sourcing for venues now..

 

[thommy]

hi belinda,

i took mine at hort park, sentosa, fullerton, anderson bridge, botanic gardens and SAM

 

[xinyue]

thomas >

Wow! you managed to squeeze so many places in one day? including indoor PS??

I am having my PS in May.. so now, sourcing for places.. Not too late ba..

 

[thommy]

nope, split into 2 days

def not too late, ur AD in Dec which means u still have 7mths to go

 

[xinyue]

thomas >
eh.. my AD in early Oct..
I joined this thread because, initially, wanted AD to be Dec but ended up pushing forward.

I see.. So means you paid extra for PS?

and did you bring any props along for PS? also heard of people changing into their casual clothes for PS, what do you suggest?

 

[xinyue]

ops i meant, since my PS in may, i hope it is not too late to source for places for PS.

 

[thommy]

u still have 3mths to source unless u telling me u will take longer than that hahaha...

lol...didn't know ur AD in Oct cos u posted in Dec thread hahahahhaa...so PS in May means u have 5mths to play with, still ok. I took mine in Oct last yr, AD next mth so also 5mths =)

yup paid extra

yes we brought along soap bubbles bottles, balloons, rose petals etc. hahahahaha....casual we opted out cos we dun find it nice =)

 

[xinyue]

erm.. what are the props for? is it necessary?

Hmm.. just hope that I will have enough time to source..

 

[thommy]

[ashlene]

Hi Happy Girl, I'm checking rico amona out too.
Do you mind sharing with me your pkg so that I can know more? Thanks!

[email protected]

BTW, BTBs when you all go do your bridal package shopping, is it common or gimmick for the bridal studio to ask you to be their model for their shoots and use your photos as samples to show future customers?

If anyone here agreed to be their model before, care to share what extra perks did you manage to get for being their 'model'? Thank you!

 

[deborahng]

ash> thats a common gimmick for the bs to ask you to be their model,

 

[xinyue]

thomas > thanks..

ask you.. hubby does not intend to wear a tie for both PS and AD. what should of shirt should he get? button down collar or spread collar? mandarin collar looks nice too.. but would it seems weird to wear a mandarin collar shirt without jacket on normal days?

 

[thommy]

belinda: no prob =)

I feel its better to have a mixture so that u have different 'feel' for the photos...some with tie, some w/o. if he really dun wanna wear tie, then get a mandarin collar shirt for him and match it with a mandarin collar coat from ur BS, they shld have. mandarin collar shirt shld go with a jacket I feel, otherwise not very nice.

for my PS, I took both with tie and normal coat and mandarin collar. different kinds of 'feel' like I told u

 

[xinyue]

thomas,

i have seen male model wearing the mandarin collar shirt with a normal jacket.. is that weird?

 

[xinyue]

did you get button down collar or spread collar?

 

[thommy]

looks weird to me...dunno abt u haha.

button down

 

[xinyue]

this is what i meant

 

[thommy]

looks weird to me leh

 

[ashlene]

Hi deb, did u encounter before and agreed?
What perks did u squeeze out from them?

 

[deborahng]

ash> almost all the Bs i went to used this tactic so i didnt bother w them. the perks i neg separately. haha told them if they want me to be their model, then my album and everything shld be free..lol...

 

[ashlene]

Deb,I also think so if wanna be model should be FOC.
Perhaps, you're really pretty with a handsome HTB.
Cuz I seldom hear from friends who are getting hitched that BS use such tactics on them.

 

[happygirl198230]

ashlene,

emailed u. have u gone down to rico-a-mona yet?

 

[crazyshopper08]

Hihi..

I am also a dec bride and was wondering if anyone have been to Rico amona, I have not seen any websites. Do they have one ?

 

[happygirl198230]

hi crazyshopper,

yes they do have a website

http://www.rico-a-mona.com/

however, not much to see on e website. i signed up during bridal fair and my rom gown was fr there. so far, im pleased w the service.

maybe it is better for u to visit their boutique and speak to them.
