luvluv.. realli have to get more quotes for comparison leh.. some id are realli terrible.. mark up so much... i get quotes ranges from 25k to 35k for ard same amt of work done sial.. however.. have to consider the reputation as well.. i gotta my id with jus random walk in.. n end up.. **sign** i dun like the workmanship.. my fren all console me tat design wise is ok.. jus dun take beri close look at the details.. lol.. **faint** but tis id is one tat give the most competitive rate with concept tat we like.. kinda regretted.. shld has push out AD n spendmore on reno first.. cos i still tink workmanship counts!

any1 noe whr to get nice flower for DIY corsage?

 

[mangocollon]

Hi gals,I am in a dilemma.
I chosed a white and black AD wedding gown.
My hubby likes it a lot but my mum dun like it becos there's black.
I am neutral.
What will u do?

 

[jllim]

Joyle: I intend to do 3 tier wedding cake design for my angbao box, i also love the big bird cage with crystal beads... hmm, but i bought the boxes oready..left a few accessories only..

Luvluv:do you have email from "alex" ? have u browse his website.. don worry, just give him a call and say joeann recommend u will do.. my house is not complete yet, still on-going.. once ready will update u all..

 

[joyle_t]

lala>> u taking saturday/sunday? cos GCW prices quite different for the weekends.. but all the best! should be able to come up with some dates that u like~

i bought flowers from spotlight for my cousin's wedding corsages.. but they dun have large quantities of the nice nice ones that I like.. can check occasionally as new stock comes in? can check out those scrap booking shops too..

joeann>> wedding cake look-alike is nice! saw some really nice examples online too.. happy diying! mus share when u're done!

shan>> it's kinda tricky.. for my BS, designer will say what design is nice, and he nv recommend me those revealing or off "pantang" stuff like black.. he say if family ok, sometimes relatives will say bhind ur back, so depends on the Whole gene gang u r inviting if u r concerned. if not, choose what u like, that's most impt!

 

[luvs_eternity]

Lala>> Sure will share if i hav time to DIY myself...

Joeann>> Yes, Alex reply already... Thank you.
