btw, just to share with u gals that robinsons is having sale today. I went there ytd trying to look for bedsheets. the salesperson told me to buy today instead cos there is sale.
can someone advise me if the price is reasonable. there is this brand called Hotel Collection. the one i'm looking at was something called Yarn something with TC of 620. the king size set (consists of fitted sheet, quilt cover and pillow cases) costs $899. today's disc for cardmember is 20% + 40% so nett price is about $400+. is it too exp?

Michelle - I had 3 gowns only. WG, EG and CS. The reason why I am so attached to my gowns is cuz I had the same gown for PS and AD. I dun think I have a nice full length pic of the gown.
My iphone only got pictures of me sitting etc.
w3n - I dun have pic of my set up candy bar now. But I took inspiration from this blog. I had a satin cloth, Ikea racks to create height volume, and a scrapbook centre piece of one of our photoshoot photos... Throughout I decorated with confetti and pinwheels instead of flowers and birdcage!
Hope this helps!

kitty - my thoughts on your AD schedule. I dunno how elaborate is your hairdo and makeup. For both morning and evening, I took close to 2 hours for my hair and makeup. And your MUA will want to finish your makeup and leave before your groom arrive. Not sure if it will be enough if you only have 88 minutes for hair and makeup. Also how much time you have for gatecrashing?? After fetching you, you will need to pray? Allow approx 10 minutes for praying before leaving.
At groom and brides side, we spend only 35-45 minutes for makan and tea ceremony. Cater for longer in grooms side cuz you will need to remove your veil and change.

must the bridal car boy (ie. the boy opening the car door) be related to the bride? can it be just any boy?
i realised my MUA make up really fast! even during trial about half hour settled makeup le! but when i did in taiwan is about 2 hours!
usually is best to be younger cousins (whom is a virgin?) to be the little boy.
yah now is really too late to invite others liao if people last minute not coming....bo bian!

From wad i understand, we hav two fans, 1 wooden fan is to throw away when u r in the car. It means u are throwing away yur bad temper, bad habits away. Tink anybody can pick it up. mayb by yur parents ba. Red fan is for u to keep and to fan yourself!
Gals, i need cheering up! no mood for W-day! need to abandon all my worries n stress away!
But i was happy ytd! Finally bought a pair of red pumps to match my kwa! heehee

Piggy, yes u r right to have 2 fan, 1 to throw & 1 to hold when u r in the car.
But from my understanding, the one that u will b holding in the car (red one), is to fan only if there is 'unlucky' things / cars which u happen to see on the way. Just fan it at that certain direction n look away. However, If ur journey is smooth, then the fan is to be kept close.
Mich, this is what the lady at CDM told me. And my mum confirmed this point too.

Missbibi - my birdcage veil is actually juz a piece of Russian netting. Then my wonderful MUA made it into a veil and secured with flowers on top.
I bought the Russian netting online as I cannot find in Singapore. I originally intended to make my own veil but my designer told me don't neeed. You can buy ready made ones in Chomel or Evita Peroni. Tangs also have, if your studio doesn't provide.
Wen - my white racks are from ikea. I have 2 small and 1 big one... If you want, can sell to you at a disc. Let me know. I'll be back in sg on Saturday.

in my case, i also have 2 fans. mine are both red fans. will throw one out of the car when i'm in there, my mum will pick up. the other one will bring to htb's house. my dad will shelter me with a red umbrella when we leave the hse.
tomorrow is my last day of work. i will be on 2 weeks' leave. next week will be full engine preparation for wedding. the following week will be R&R and minimoon (if we can book one). i need the full week next week bcos i haven done alot of things yet. trying to rush out my AD schedule tonite and tml so that can print for the JMs. we are meeting on sat FOR THE FIRST TIME. i think it will be the first and only time.
once that is done, will have to start to do my childhood montage and pre-wedding slides. concurrently i will have to do up my guest list and table arrangement. i don't think 24 hours a day is enough for me. i think i'm the worst bride.

Kitty - for table arrangement can you get your hubby to help?? It seems like you're doing everything yourself. Fir your guest list, get your parents and in laws involved ad well as they may have their own ideas on how they want the relatives to be seated.

just wana vent my frustration...
bought from Courts a tv, a bed frame and a mattress (bought the same day but on 3 separate invoices cos i see the tv liao, i paid for it, den i saw the mattress den paid fr it and same for the bed frame). all 3 items have the same delivery date ie. 9 may 2011 monday.
so on monday i took leave to stay at my new place to wait for the items. the tv and bed frame came but not the mattress. i waited until 2.30pm (delivery time was 11-3pm) and i called the hotline. the customer service officer told me that the system shows the delivery date as 22 may. that is totally impossible cos my wedding date is 22 may. obviously it's a error by the staff who key in the info. den she said she will check and will ask the salesperson to call me. i waited until 3.30pm still no call. so i called the hotline again. another officer answered. i wanted to speak to the prev officer but he told me that he can't transfer the line so i got to repeat my story again. den he said he will check and ask the manager to call me. i waited till 4.30pm, again nobody call. i then called back the hotline and i have to go thru the same cycle again - cannot transfer line, repeat story, will check and revert...
anyway to cut the story short, after many rounds of calling, they finally call me back and reschedule the delivery date to wed morning. so my htb took leave to wait for the delivery. mattress was delivered but the 2 FOC pillows were not. they said no stock. super frustrating lor. why can't they tell us earlier? nvm, they said they will arrange for the pillow to deliver today morn. and then today, NO SHOW AT ALL!!! waited for a long time and finally receive a call from them. NO STOCK FOR THE PILLOW. damn it. if no stock, why promise to deliver today? waste our time. yesterday you said no stock and then u promise to deliver today and now you tell me no stock. then why did you promise in the first tine? why didn't you check before you promise? super frustrating and irritating. i really hate Courts. going to boycott them from now on. super irresponsible. and the customer service officer super unhelpful. cannot transfer line. cannot give me the name of the dept manager, dept manager don't have direct line so i can't call them directly etc etc. no solution, only problems.

Kass, i also need to do my own table arrangement cos he wouldn't know how to place my friends and colleagues. Haiz, feel very sian about the wedding. I'm not exactly looking forward to it. seemed like i'm doing alot of things. feel very stressed up abt it. on the other hand, he is super relaxed. can surf net and play games. i think if i don't do it, this wedding will not be able to proceed.
Actually I can't rem I have 2 fans till u all mentioned but rem my mum told me about the red fan that we use in the car....we r supposed to say...hao de Lai....huai de qu (fan inwards during first sentence and outwards for 2nd sentence) hope u all can understand what I meant gee...
The one tat we need to throw I think my mum told me to throw after I exit my main door (house) n my mum will pick it up...
Tks kass! How much is the small 1 u selling?

Kitty - it's like that one. Can you do your own friends and relatives and get hubby to coordinate for everyone??? I was also the one who started all the excel sheets. But eventually my then HTB also will take initiative to update the sheet himself. You can get him to do the AD evening schedule since you will be taking the lead fr him esp for evening. It's impt that he is familiar with the schedule if not everything he will refer to you. your HTB is from SAF, all these he sure can do one. Ask him to make use of his army skills!! The week before I was totally on edge and damn stressed as well.. So you're not alone. Also v impt to get 1 or 2 JMs you are close to to help you run last minute errands like buying stationery etc.
My htb oso veri slack. ask him to write invitation cards for his frens, he say still early. nw his colleagues side still haven finish writing den he go on biz trip! so this weekend hav to faster finish writing. Den ask him bout table arrangements for his side, he say will wait till last week to do up so he can know the exact number of guests. *faintz*. I told him by this weekend have to do it, den any last min changes just tweak it. Guys hor!
