wow... so many of u haf done so many things! I haven go for PS.. haven draft guest list.. haven print invites... Arghh... feeling stress! Better get my butt off and start doing some things.

Gals... ask u all hor,any of u choosing kwa n where do u get ur matching shoes from?
 


Hi giantress.. I bought my kwa shoes in HK some months back. Now I'm contemplating to get a nice red pair of high heels to wear with it instead.
I'm petite and the kwa shoes are flat, so I'm afraid I might look real short in them. :/

Have you girls settled your bridal car and PG+VG already.
 
@ Rainbow: wow.. ur gowns is similar to mine.. i have 6 gowns.. gonna to have fitting soon n PS in 3weeks time too!! where will u be gg for ur PS??
 
Hi giantress,
I know loe and behold sells those beaded flats..maybe you can try chinatown too..? ;)

Hi pinkcoral,
I’m rather short too..personally I find flats with kwa is okay..especially when if feet is small..so cute!..what’s more your flats is already so cute!
I have a friend, his wife actually wore a red adidas sneakers and he actually wore a black one..looks so fun especially there’s a shot of them jumping together !

Well..I have not confirm the weddg car yet,just emailed to two companies for quotation..actually, there’s very few weddg car rental companies and not much choices
unless going for vintage cars. =(

By the way btbs, may I ask if it’s necessary to pay for flower girls,pageboys,bride & groom entourage attires? Should we tell what to wear or let them decide?
 
Jacqurine: me too! hah.. hows ur preparation?

caroline: so far all the couples that i know pay for their flower girls or give them like $50 (example) to get their clothes...

giantress: i dun even dare to get kwa coz it look so funny on me.. hahah! i took tea dress instead... :X & no worries.. i haven had my PS too... i think if u dun need those photos for invites its ok.. 2 months b4 AD is alright..

Rainbow: wow! ur BS so good.... so many gowns for photoshoot!! cool~
 
evon: actually complete with most of the impt stuff already. now left with the PS layout to cfm, invitation card, wedding misc stuff (box, corsages, ad program & etc etc...)
how abt ur preparation?
 
hi evon & krazimitzi..
my friends asked if i'm going to buy the attire i said i'm ok with it actually but hopefully not too ex man..i saw boys tux set which cost like 80 bucks!and on the other hand,it's not worth to spend for such clothings anyway..=P
i do have some who alrdy have the attire..but..i have a ttl of 4boys & 4 girls! LOL.

also, how much would you give for the ang pao money to each kid?

hi Jac! seems like you're quite efficient too! i still like got a long list of to-dos! *bang head*
 
caroline: haha... actually still hv alot of stuff need to do but juz cant rmb as i didnt drop it down... plus i need to hv jie mei gathering to discuss on the stuff... start feeling the stress is cuming anytime...
 
sorry for taking so long!

Krazimitzi - i have seen my pictures already, and they are lovely as it is actually hahahah, the guests list is a one killer! friends are more readily to confirm. but its the relatives! they kinda usually take it for granted. but other than that im actually more or less settled. just slacking and taking my time to source ard the cakes to give relatives, catering of buffet after the tea ceremony, and that piggy!

rainbow - hi rainbow, yesh to think about it its a mere 4 months away only. it may sound like there is alot of time left but in fact to squeeze in ur photoshoot cum waiting for it to be done, meanwhile u still have to make sure the invitation cards are out by then, think of ur guest list etc! u really need to get things organise or u will really panick on the actual day or even the day before. (: JIAYOU!
 
till date im actually still amending the guest list here and there. the things that are not done yet are things like, the cakes, the catering, the angpao box (haven ZHNG), GDL things. thats abt it (:
 
most imptly is to execute job out to ur bridesmaid/brothers to do it and make sure they do it. cause if not it will be redundant to ask them to be ur sisters/brothers in the first place. (:

things like the photo montage, duties allocation etc
 
Wow Caroline.. I second Lish's comments! It's gonna be real sweet to have so many flower kids.
What about your bridesmaids? Are they walking down the aisle before you?
 
Jacqurine: OMG! i haven even take my photos, nor invitation cards.. and in e mist of looking for a resale.. -_-" so tiring...
sad.gif


caroline: long list... me too... WOW! u got many little kids.. so cute.. but the cost.. *cough* I think if i will buy outfit for them.. (hope can get cheaper ones.. HAH!) maybe we can share n buy in bulk.. AHHAH!! ang bao $28 enough right? O.O and the tux is EX! i tink i dun wan page boy... ahha.. i hope girls can be cheaper? :X
 
hi all,
yah..I got a nephew & niece and others are ex-colleagues kids..and ive seen them growing up..so in the so many..hahaha! Errrm..don't think will ask bridesmaids to walk down with me..i think the kids will catch the guests attn more..keke.
Should have cheaper tux suit,but I guess it's the quality that's why like 80bucks? Most probably will tell their mum no need to wear so formal,just let then wear shirt,berms,suspenders with a cute bow tie. Girls ask them wear a nice singlet with tutu skirt. Hahah! I think sponsor for shoes also cheaper than those dress and suit..bleah~
 
xue, i haven't decide on my photoshoot location yet... that is also a big headache... do u have any suggestions? i was thinking of national museum but they charge $107 for 3 hrs...

denise, thx for the advise, will definitely work on the rest after i decide on the photoshoot location. Can u share where u took ur photos?

Evon, i had a hard time choosing the gowns... all looks nice but difficult to get a perfect one...
 
Rainbow: totally understand.. haha! but ur BS really awesome lei... so many gowns! :D so have u decided yet?

caroline: singlet and tutu was what i wanted until i saw far east selling the exact tutu... costing $59.90, i vomited blood and think flower girl dress at OG might be cheaper.. haha!
 
ooohh..but but but..so ex? omg..crazy seller. i saw cheaper ones like 27bucks? also in pink in a few designs. can DIY it if you got time.. haha
 
Oh evon - looking for a flat now? I understand your pain man. We took so many months before we found something. And now there's the renovation headache. So many things will be crammed into the last 2 months before the wedding.
I'm also trying to settle the invitation cards, church wedding theme, bridesmaids dresses, checking out ID firms, contractors, furniture shopping.. so many things to do!! Left 3 over months!!! *swallow hard*
 
rainbow: i have not decided where to have our PS.. was told that just tell the photographer what we wan den they will know where to bring.. hee..
ya i can understand ur feelings of choosing the gowns.. same s me.. i took the whole afternoon selecting my AD gown n EG but am glad that i found something i like.. cant wait for the fitting soon for PG..
 
caroline: really? where? :D i dun wana DIY.. too many things le.. x.x

pinkcoral: i decided not to do bridesmaid dress coz i think not impt since im not having them to march in with me.. save some cost.. :X i juz tell them e color theme... heee.... yep, think confirming a place but with the finances... I think we gg to have just 1 bed and buy slowly aft we move in... haha! only need a bed, washing machine, kettle n stove in e hse.. LOL!
 
pinkcoral, i read your post i also stress for you..jia you! jia you!

yea yea evon..it's at IMM. second level,but there's only pink colour. i asked for white they dont have it. ermm..size wise i'm not sure they have until what age..if you want i can help you ask if i go there again. my office is within that area.

actually i think the bridesmaids wont mind whether will we sponsor the dress right? i believe they have those jiemei kind of dresses bah..
 
oh!! help me snap a pix if u do pass by k.. dun need to purposely do it thou.. heehee.. and ill need e shop name too.. THANKS! :D

i tink unless u wan ur bridesmaids to march in with u... then all wear e same nicer, if not juz color code?
 
oh.. anyway, since we are at e topic of bridesmaid dresses...

Example - http://thedesignclosets.com/Closet21.html
sells Convertible Dress but I'm not sure about the quality thou... (think other webby sells too)

I think if many of us wana get e same kind of dress (perhaps diff color) or many diff dress but from 1 webby, we can ask for discounts..

Evon - I'm interested in the convertible dress! I need all my bridesmaids to be wearing the same dress coz they'll be walking down the aisle before me. And this dress will make a lovely gift.
happy.gif


Ya man.. start with the basic necessity first. I told my bf we'll start with a bangra mattress, sleep on the floor after coughing out all the money for wedding + house + reno. :/
 
evon~ that is way cool... i don't mind getting it. i sent the link to my BMs so they can decide if they want it hahaha. let you know if i'm getting it. maybe can get discounts as you said! =)
 
krazimitzi / pinkcoral: okie... but according to my sis, forums says this blogshop not bad, but i really duno lei... ill do some research first... heh... I dun plan to get for my JM but if yall getting, & can be even cheaper, i dun mind getting... hahha! how many JM do yall have? I will email them first and see how cheap can it be while i look through other blogshops... ;)

pinkcoral: they can even wear diff style but color sure the same.. ;) oh.. yah.. i tink its quite a lovely feel to start everything together with ur man.. so romantic, its really building up step by step together! :D
 
krazimitzi: okie... ill try email them a rough number... ehh.. u can wear a shorter gown to dance? if u wear the same as them, then it may be too plain for u as a bride lei... oh... but i'm kinda worried that its hard to wear...

btw http://chippychipdovey.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/online-review-convertible-dress/ shows a lady who bought the dress and she tried out on her daughter...
happy.gif


caroline: check this out! http://www.skirtdressnsuch.com they have cute skirts... but i'm quite scare to order coz duno if e material will be very CMI or not...
 
Thanks for coordinating this Evon!
I want 7 dresses. Let me know when they reply.

Ya Kramitzi, better for you to wear something different from the rest of the BMs, then you will stand out from them.
 
They replied saying new colors will be out soon and they cam show us e cloth sample then we decide e color we want but aft disc it's $26 per dress... Do y'all think it's still ex? And they say they can teach us how to wear it when it arrives.. But I still cannot find outside sources abt their quality lei.. Hhmmm.. How ah... Lol!
 
Hi Evon, I think $26 for a dress is not expensive. Esp when it is a convertible dress which can be wear for many occasion.

I have decide to use peach as my colour theme & sponsor my jiemeis with mani/pedi instead. Just ask them to wear peach colour dresses will do, since all of them has different dress style and shape.
 
Oohh.. I've gotten them skirts for gate crashing alrdy.. Haha.. Am considering to get it for my church musicians and recepts or not... Hhhmmm... Coz I dun need them to march in with me.... Hee
 
Hi Ladies , do let me know how is the dress..i still pending my ladies reply...

My jie mei and i are all the big size...donno whether it fit or not =X
 
yuki: the dress is actually a piece of cloth with 2 strips but this is better coz it comes with tube... shld be able to fit all sizes lei... hhmm... what's ur usual topshop size?

pinkcoral: the new colors are Coral pink and sweet pink... they asked for my address so i guess all the colors of e cloth sample will reach soon... I haven check with them the exact time it will be out... but i guess soon?
happy.gif


Btw with the convertible dress, i am so tempted to get the dress for some of my JM to march in before me... hmm.. how many do u think is a good number? I was thinking of letting the MC (girl) n e musicians (2 girls) and e JM marching in to wear e same dress.. but i duno how many JM is a good number... hhmm.. coz mine is hortpark so its not exactly a big place...
 
thanks Evon..yea, i saw that blog too..last fri i went to look ard..there's alot of places selling tutu skirt in fact. cheapest is tag at $25? ard there..

so Evon,if you're sponsoring them the dresses, how much AP would you give to ur jiemeis?
 
My AD is on 8 Jan 2011.

Although my bridal pkg comes with photoshoot, but my fiance & I decided to go for another set of photoshoot which is more quirky and unconventional. The shoot was done by his friend, who's a freelance wedding photographer. I think he did a great job! U can view our photos on this blog: http://www.mementophotokeepsakes.com/blog/jerry-and-april

I love the white short gown I was wearing! I rented it for just $150 from "Dressing Inn Bridal" located at Parklane Shopping Mall #05-11. They have a facebook page. The boss is very nice & helpful, he even coordinated a freelance make-up artist for me =)
 
caroline: gatecrash we are budgeting $388 and separate angbao $8... :X coz we thought if JM they earn gatecrash n we still give too much.. then the brothers very poor thing lei.. LOL!

and i think im not using flower girls.. coz they are my ex students and i haven seen them for a while.. scare that day they shy or anyting (6 and 8 yrs old).. so we asking bf's niece to be ring bearer and some bridesmaid march-in before me...

cupcakes&cream: welcome!! i feel like eating cupcakes or having them on my wedding.. :D
 
hi cupcakes - It's 3.5mths to January. Have you planned or booked anything already.

carol/evon - I saw little tutus at the Mothercare shop in Centrepoint that day. Didn't go in to check out the price though.
 
Hi Evon,

I love cupcakes! I helped made cupcakes for my friend's wedding. Here's my blog photos

Hi Pinkcoral,

Haha... nope, nothing booked yet. I've emailed a few friends who are in the wedding industry for their availability. Waiting for them to get back to me.

PS: How many months in advance must the wedding invites be sent out? Are we really really late to start planning now?
 


evon/pinkcoral~ yes exactly why i don't want to wear something different. don't you girls watch glee?? haha must all look coordinated! anyways... my BMs are all concerned they might not be able to wear. just like glee, my BMs are all different shapes and sizes from size 4 to 14... heights from 1.50m to 1.70m... so they would prefer something that they can try... so if i get i will have to get one first for all of them to try, otherwise quite likely it will be a waste of money.
