Just wanna rant a little about normal life... I wanted to get a dress really badly from LoveBonito today and the launch is at 2pm and I waited since 1.55pm, but apparently the whole world was waiting there too, cuz when I log into the page, ready to make my selection, the dress is already gone!
sad.gif


*Wails* Sorry. Just a random rant cuz I really want the dress!
 
@kass, i shop from lovebonito too. love their dresses and it's always selling FAST.

sorry to hear that. i wanted to get the red Accolade One Shoulder Mini dress, but it's sold out too. =(

but i managed to get their oriental cheongsum for CNY. so still quite happy with it. hee
 
oh oh, or u can go to intoxiquette.livejournal.com to look for dresses. their dresses are pretty nice too.

Thanks w3n.. i will contact her..
 
hey gals, i m looking for a half day VG who can help me do morning highlights preferably below $500. If anybody got recommendations, pls give me their contacts. thank you.
 
Piggy >> I am still considering whether to have a half day VG as well for the moring highlights! Yeah, if anyone have recommendations do let me know!

hi, thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi Kass, my AD is 14th May
happy.gif
What about urs?
Purple is a nice colour and I also feel like going for this colour too!
I didn't fancy any EG from my bridal shop so planning to mtm. But seems like it's costly to mtm a gown.

Btw, what are your themes for the banquet? Mine is scarlet garden (red + black)
 
Luvoink since ur ad is in may, still got time to try out more eg before u mtm wor
happy.gif


I m only going to try out AD gown in April, hope can find 1 that makes me slimmer! Lol lose weight plan shi bai! Lol I dun have determination n feel as long as I m happy n healthy jiu hao, haha can never jian fei :/

I went tangs, taka, isetan, far east but can't find any shoes...my feet looks better in covered ones or peep toe shoes but all too high heels, if wear so high de I m going to be much taller than hubby n so high hard to walk. At
most 2 inches for me
sad.gif
I m too tall le so sad...Fan nao! Fussy n troublesome me!

Have u all taken pre shooting album can show me? I m
at a lost for the layout.
 
Wen, I got my album few weeks back. But haven got my softcopies yet.
happy.gif
my layouts remain as simple as it is, as we don't like too many designs will outdated one.. Haha!

I actually also intend to get dark purple evening gown or ROM gown, but must see by the time, apr got any nice purple gown anot..

Kass, u wanna order a wedding cake? For me I am think as my banquet serves 9 courses, I think guests would be too full to makan the cake. And one main thing is that we are able to save the money for the cake, as we don't mind to use the model cake. No offense la. :p

Piggy, my photographer is Michael Ho. U can visit his website to see if u like his style. He goes for more natural photos and my HtB n me love the way he shoot people. Www.michaelhophotography.com

My dad also told me marble cake can le. I will be getting from KYO due to highly recommended by a fren. And I think quite cheap. Mummy mentioned cakes to bride's relatives must be paid by HtB. Juz a reminder. Hehe
 
I am getting a small wedding cake for solemnization then dun have the cut cake part during the banquet. More meaningful And it's not a big cake.
happy.gif


W3n - actually if you are fussy about shoes then go and custom make bah...at least you can choose exactly what u want. Oh I forgot to mention. Robinsons has a brand that also has some covered shoes. I saw it in raffles city, no harm taking a look.
 
w3n, I have to mtm another gown 'cuz I think my EG I took for photoshoot is pretty normal.

I got my shoes from Anna Ricci @ FEP. I rem they have many designs to choose from. U can check the shop there.

I took my bridal shoot just recently, selected pics and add on to more $$$ for more pics.. >.< The layout will only be ready in March. If there is a chance, mayb I can show u when ready.
 
@w3n, i will be collecting my album in March, so can't show you the layout now. we have requested for simple layout with white border, instead of those fanciful borders, overlapping of photos kind of layout. cos both htb and myself prefer simple and classic look. like what mich mentioned, it wont get outdated. hehe.

i'm going to my BS this sunday for AD gown selection, i have no idea what color of EG should i get too. also going to T-dragon to see the design of invites.

busy weekend~
 
I just bought my jiemei dresses online! Can't wait to receive them!
happy.gif


The to-do list is growing longer and longer.

Chloe - can you check the pricing for T-Dragon when u visit them? I have the pricing for Jasvy and Hi-Tech. Will share them here as well.
 
@Kass, u mean pricing for the inserts or wedding card?

u mean we can go to other printing shop to print even though T-dragon is the assigned printing shop by the hotel? sorry, abit loss here.
 
Hi Kass, I just went T Dragon to select my wedding invites. My hotel is tie with them. The printing cost on card is $170 for 200 pieces and add-on icon is $10 one price. Hope this helps.
happy.gif


That's very nice of you to order dresses for your jiemei. I got tight budget so can't sponsor them.
sad.gif
 
Chloe Ong >> For me, because GWP has its own wedding invites, the vendors will pick up the cards from GWP for printing. If we want our own printers, just have to go to GWP to pick up the invites and bring for printing ourselves. I dunno if it works the same way for mandarin oriental. You might wanna check with them??
 
Piggy >> Bought my dress from Taobao!
happy.gif
It's not expensive but have to wait... Once I receive them I will comment on the quality. Now China already having CNY holidays, so gonna have to wait about 1 month bah.
 
@kass, MO has its own wedding invites, i will check with my coordinator if i can do the printing elsewhere other than T-dragon. Thanks!

update me the quality too k. =)
 
My hotel is also tied with T dragon but i will collect the invites from them and go JB to print.
Heard is cheaper. Save cost.

oh yah feb is approaching! so gals rem to efile since we are all May brides =)
 
@kass, oooohh thanks!!

then, i just need to get his licence number for the e-filing.

btw, our copy of marriage cert will bear just the JP's signature, right? heard from my colleague that our signatures and the 2 witnesses' signatures will be on ROM's copy (to be filed and kept by ROM). anyone can confirm this?
 
Chloe >> I have his license number. If you need, let me go home and check and let u know later.
happy.gif


Nope. The marriage cert will have all the signatures, ours, our witnesses and our JP's signature. Total 5 signatures
happy.gif
 
I have gotten the invite sample from my hotel. let me know if anyone needs.

the hotel's preferred printer is Yitai and 2nd preferred is Tdragon.

How much cheaper if we were to go JB? not sure if it's worth the effort. I'm having ard 35 tables so max no. of invites is 350. if i choose the most simple format, it will only cost me around $200-300.
 
I love the blue gown!! It's lovely. Are they both MTMs? I have only one gown and will be wearing it throughout banquet. May be getting a short one for outdoor solemnization
happy.gif
 
Nice WG!! looks veri dreamy!!
Btw gals, i was at CK dept store at Chinatown ytd. I saw few pairs of wedding heels like Anna Nucci selling at $49.90 by Vincci. I tink Vincci at CK dept store is having 20% sale. U may wish to go down and have a look. Looks nice. Was tempted to buy!
 
I like the EG! Nice colour n v trendy design!
happy.gif


Wen, I also wanna go TNT print my invites. Which branch will u be printing at?

Now still got wad I can do ah? Stratch head* lol
 
Thanks gals. I was quite worried in e first place. Cos I went to e gown selection with my htb only, and he did not give me any opinions at all. So it's just based on my own taste and I'm known for having bad taste. Phew! Now I'm more assured.

It's not mtm. That's why I'm able to dl e pics from their website. Went to their website first to do research. Fell in love with e WG at first sight. When I was there, I requested for it. As mentioned in one of my posts earlier, I only took 2 hours to select 5 gowns for my PS (which will include 2 AD gowns) so I'm quite worried that my gowns are not nice.
 
Btw I will be going for my bridal fitting today. Will smuggle a camera in to snap some pics. Will share with u gals if I'm not caught. Haha.
 
michelle, i will be going to T and T also. When i went City Sq i walked passed the shop before. I think i will go in to print sometime in March (early to mid). but lets say we need to have 80 invites, how many extra do u all tink we should print? (for those just in case write wrong or invite others - plan B invitation)?
 
i dont think there is much we can do now, after CNY then shop for bedframe, bed sheets, GDL and AC stuff. meanwhile i think more or less finalise on guest list so that March can print invites. ermmmm thats all? haha i am stuck too!
 


I went to t dragon yesterday n had confirmed the printing order with them. Roseline is very nice n informative! Haha. Price quoted to us was first 100 pcs $160 (hot stamping inserts/ on card), we chose to have inserts with shiny gold wordings. Though htb is msian, we would like to save the trouble of traveling to JB, not much price difference for us too since we r not printing alot. Only 100 pcs.
happy.gif


Oh ya, we have chosen 2 colors for our invites, cream and red. Red is for the elderly, it comes with the Chinese 'xi' wording on the front and cream is more western, it comes with english 'a wedding invitation' wordings so more for friends.

Next step is to wait for t dragon to email me the draft invites then proof read and confirm printing by early march.

One thing down my to-do. Goin to my BS for gown selection today. Excited!
