hey jawslyn, my wedding's on 15 oct.. same as u, initially we were not sure want to take or not coz scare clash but it was one of those dates given by fortune teller. so we went ahead with it. i'm also in the midst of finding jp.. i guess dun have to ask Mr Lee liao. 
hello all! i probably will be an Oct bride too..tentative date also on 15 Oct! seems like a lot of us getting married on this date..hehe..wanted 3 Dec but church is booked for their own event..so we chose the next alternative date..
am currently staying in our own place in Punggol..supposed to submit our ROM cert to HDB in Feb but we managed to request for an extension till Dec 2011..hehe..
i wanted a really simple wedding..but the more i plan, the more complicated it gets..and i dunno where to start! sighz..
Queen Queen, can share your package from Muse + Hues with me? I tot of engaging them too...provided they are still available..hehe..

Hi queen queen n Michelle chong!
Erm my love nest will be at sengkang. So Michelle you are staying with ur in law for a year so did you do your laundry at their place? I ask this question becos I realize my boyfriend's brothers are married and their wife din do any laundry for their husband and they actually bring all the dirty clothes back their Own house and ask the maid to do the cleaning and ironing!! My bf brothers will have to do their own laundry!!

Hey girls
Do we bring our own jewellery during bridal photoshoots? Or are they provided by BS to match according to our gowns during prewedding shoots? Coz I am quite hesitant to bring down my accessories for AD to prewedding shoots

Hi jim, haha oops...i also bring my clothes bk hm to wash though i don't mind to do the laundry but....since mil is doing it for my hubby as she's a housewife. His room & wardrobe is so small, only enough to store my office clothes for a wk hehe, i need to go bk weekly to replenish my clothes so i must well bring hm to wash. When i 1st moved in, i was briefed where to hang my top after wash, bottom & undergarments...all diff places & i can't mix it with guy clothes...& nw i was told nt to hang my undergarments at the room window as there are some prayers at the opp blk -.-
Which i don't have such rules at hm, hehe so it's better for me to bring bk...to avoid any conflicts lor
If i'm doing any washing, i'll leave it in the toilet, she will auto bring it out to hang for me ^.^

Carebearz, usually BS will provide accessories to match the gowns. Unless u're engaging a freelance makeup artist who may have limited range. U can ask ur BS to show you their range of hair accessories to necklaces etc when u're doing gown fitting. When is ur PS? Mine is in jan

I used to live with in-laws. And I have to say it was terrible.
I am a person who respects elderly. And normally even if they piss me off, I'd just smile and talk privately. Well, my MIL went overboard when I kept giving in to her and talk to her nicely. She kept doing things against my will and knowledge. Last straw came when she knowingly threw away something which my mother bought for me!
So my truthful advice to any BTB would be not to stay with in-laws. Honestly, she was a nice person before marriage. And I really thought just giving in and respect would do. But apparently I was wrong.
Now I am living at my own place, with my mother and my daughter. And my husband at my MIL place. So imagine how bad things were that I had to move out and live under such condition that I am separated from my husband. So don't ever try it. It seriously ruined all relationships.
And now I am still not on talking terms with my MIL. No point anymore. No doubt she is my MIL, but well, she crossed the line.
lovebliss Where is Urban Write? I am gonna DIY my Angbao Box and Guestbook too! (

Long time no come in here. Haven been doing much for my planning ever since most stuffs are settled. Haha! Need to re-start my engine soon as probably getting keys to my house in late Feb/Mar 2011! Very busy period.
Anyway welcome to all new Oct 2011 BTBs!
Jessie: Not sure if you're still reading this but am actually doing ala-carte for my AD. When you mean you're not doing PS do you mean you're totally not doing pre-wedding photoshoot at all? 'Cos besides that, you got to plan out the cost of the AD PG and probably your VG besides the gowns, MUA, suits, florists, etc. Hehez. It can be cheaper than a BS to do ala-carte if you can find all the good deals and know where to cut your cost. But it can also be more expensive than getting from a BS. So it's all down to how you plan your stuffs.
Personally for me, I'm probably a perfectionist trying to get the best for most of my AD so it might boils down to being on-par or more expensive than getting from BS.
The topic of living with MIL and FIL, I personally think no matter on how good terms you are with them, we are afterall in different generations and still people with different characters so I don't believe it's so easy to have harmony. So my hubby and I always agree that we should have our own space instead of living with in-laws. Hehez.
I see everyone's excited here!

Jessie (jessiemel) > 15-18tables, are you looking for hotel weekend dinner? Maybe a bit difficult. If weekend lunch, maybe can try Marriott, min 18tables. or restaurant in hotel? Dragon phoenix restaurant from Novotel should have package tat suit you.

lovebliss: It's at Punggol Spring! Hehez. That makes our 2011 really busy next year eh? I still have no idea which ID to get and this and that. I'm lost when it's 'bout our house. Depending on my hubby to do the research. Haha!

Jessie: Hehe. There is still time. Try to spam more hotels and if you don't mind, can try the restaurants also.
It's interesting that you're not going for pre-wedding PS! Do remember to have portrait shots at the hotel in your beautiful gowns! Hehez. Have you started sourcing for all your items? Better to draw up a checklist and budget on what you want to get for your AD. But of 'cos the more important thing now is your venue.

lydia:im trying to stop her for choosing hotel re ...lol..
woah~~ one morning onli and so many comments~~
Jessie: no fret no fret~ 15-18 tables can be found easily coz those bigger hotels usually have more than one ballroom~ have you tried orchard hotel or raffles city convention hall? If not qianxi group of restaurants also can accomodate your number~ lydia also gave 2 good choices~ food at noble and peony is good! or else there is peach garden which i initially considered but they were taken up on my date for miramar hotel.......
Not alot of BS will take AD packages without Pre-Wed shoot~ coz i taking my PS in Taiwan so now also sourcing for AD gowns and stuff~ the cheapest i was quoted was Jess Haute Couture~~
Oh yah! BTW, i sent the Muse+Hues package over alrdy~

Hey Jessie !
u can consider Marina Mandarian Vanda ballroom ? I think they require only 20 tables min . If you have 18 tables, maybe you just top up a bit and upgrade your food ?
If not, you can try wedding lunch ? Wedding lunch , I guess most venues will be available . Or you can try Pan Pacific ?
Don't be upset , you will find your dream venue soon.

Hi Jessie, I am having the same problem as you. It's very hard to secure a place for weekend dinner as most are full. I started asking in late Sept and most are full. For now, it will be the very high end ones or low end ones that still have space.
After asking so many hotels, I have tentatively booked two (1 for dinner & 1 for lunch) and will go down and discuss when i get back to SG. Hope I can confirm a place that i like.
By the way, what's your budget?
