Hi Everyone, i am also an oct bride. i will be having my wedding lunch at Grand Park. wanted to do the screening of the morning gatecrash session during the lunch but alot photographers and videographers say there's not enough time to get it piece together. is that true? anyone done it before for lunch?

 

[chubbylobster]

Xj: can be done. But they will charge express fee and u need to give them time like at least 3-4hrs. Usually will end by 10am they leave and pass u the product by 1pm.

 

[lyn_sg]

Hi XJ, I am also doing lunch and managed to find a VG that can do the express highlight. No additional charges but need to end by 10am as they need time to pass to their team to do it. The VG will continue filming just that those after 10am will not be in the express highlight.

My VG is Vocare. PM me if you need the details.

 

[vivorz]

thks Cloudy & peakabo.

Btw, anyone know/recommend where to custom/find ballet flats for wedding that cater for larger feet?

I'm not wearing heels and can't seem to find any nice looking flats

 

[crypaz]

Hi blurkitty, depends on the type of wedding you are having...like if it's a simple small scale one, then perhaps less things to prepare.

Mine is a simple one, no gate crash, just a simple lunch at resturant with around 9-10 tables. No march in, no speech. Tea ceremony and ROM done at the resturant. No videography, no montage to show, only have wedding album display on table. No reception table since not many tables. Music will just be using resturant one. Only wearing one gown for that day. Not printing wedding invites, will inform guest via sms.

He's looking for white shoes too..tried pedro n aldo but not suitable. ;(
Our photoshoot is in July..any props dat u recommend for easy carry or any1 selling?

Thanks!

 

[smilem]

Fawn = u can bring alonog flower petals, balloon, chalkboard,.. somethings tat u can take specially for the PS...

i bought the cyalic heart shape (small) 2 packet and lay on the beach.. rather jz to hand-draw the heart...

 

[crypaz]

Fawn, for tuxedo shirt you can try this shop cant remember the full name starts with D is located opposite Muji at marina square they sell man shirt. That time my htb got it at the same shop located at vivo at $79 cause it was on sale, not sure if now still have or not....

For man white shoes try queenway shopping centre second floor...

 

[meteor_starry]

Hi Fawn,
welcome!! Didn't your BS attempt to sell you the tuxedo shirt when you went for gown fitting??
My HTB got his white shoes from Americaya...very glossy....u can also try Far East

 

[joanna_tan]

I'm also BTB on oct 2011. actually feeling pretty lost now. feeling a little disapointed with my hotel and finding outdoor photo shoot location. any ladies care to share where will be nice in songapore for outdoor shoot.

 

[crypaz]

hi joanna if you like greenary botanic garden would be nice but will be rather common...

 

[fawngal]

Hi all

Thanks for your suggestions and help!

My friend told me I can find a tailor-made shop at seah im!

but im not sure of the quality though.

Hi Ee (crypaz): I havnt tried vivo yet...this will be the next stop..haha...thanks! will also try queensway..

Hi carebearz (meteor_starry): My BS has suggested renting it from them...but my HTB feels the material is not really that great..so he wants to find his own shirt...and needs that tux collar for the tie..
hmmm..Americaya's price is quite steep right? cuz my HTB will only need to wear once..cuz he doesn't need to wear it during work...but will try there..since white is really hard to find..

Hi Joanna: I am still looking for places too...Henderson waves will be one of them...since we went there on our first date..

but we have not thought of more places..we might try Punggol Broadwalk..i saw from my friend's pic and it looked nice...but she didn't take it as wedding location..just a normal picture..i hvnt really seen that place yet..

 

[joanna_tan]

Hi Ee, I not a greenery person. I love Singapore flyer area. But I need 1 more place. Mayb beach area. Reali dun know where.. Thanks for the advise..

 

[fawngal]

Hi smilem (smilem): Thanks!

i want to search around for heart-shaped thingy too..but just don't know where I should start looking..

The chalkboard is a good idea!

keke...eh...but you know where sells small chalkboard now? I prefer chalkboard to white board..cuz more cute and fun!

 

[fawngal]

Hi Joanna
these are the photos from punggol boardwalk i was telling you...not sure if you like it...
but judging from the bottom left photo...im not sure if it is not fully constructed or it is like that...

not sure if you like it...i am considering this place cuz it's a new place so prob not many ppl has taken their wedding photos here...but may not go there in the end..cuz HTB said Henderson waves also got bridge...haha

 

[joanna_tan]

Hi Fawn, I saw from my BS they took pic from
Mbs and Singapore flyer during the night are veri nice. Love the colour. I reali dun know where to take.. My photo shoot is on July so still have abit of time to search for location heehee

 

[charlottez09]

Hi all, my AD is also in Oct 2011. I'll be having my photoshoot in july on a sunday due to the last min change in htb's work schedule and there's no other alternative dates as his reservist also falls in the month of july.

I was quite disappointed that the photoshoot have to be on a sun as its the time where everywhere is very crowded..

Anyone can share where are the good locations for photoshoot on a sunday?

 

[smilem]

Hi FAWN = i bought those stuff from DAISO..

 

[fawngal]

Hi smilem
Thks! Will head for daiso!!

 

[mlvglb]

[smilem]

Fawn.. u welcome.. lately many btbs brought chalkboard.. i brought my bears there.. whereby my hubby used it during his proposal and we used it for our wedding car and solemization..

 

[lslyn]

Harlow everyone,
I'm a Oct BTB too

 

[loveforever]

Welcome Lslyn. How's ur preparation? Where is your venue?

 

[fawngal]

Hi smilem

i still hvnt gone to daiso...LOL
Just bought some roses that form a heart-shape at Far East Floral

My HTB managed to buy his tuxedo collared shirt at Queensway shopping centre! He liked it very much!
Now pending for more props and shoes!

 

[applemonster]

we went to IMM daiso, they don't sell chalk board... too many Btb bought le

 

[applemonster]

Not sure if they ever sold chalk board.... when we asked, they say don't have...

 

[lslyn]

Hi loveforever,

I'm going for my photoshoot in July and I have yet to prepare. Getting very worried now.

 

[lslyn]

Sweetiepie,

I tried to ask DIASO, the staff says they dont carry. I'm thinking of buying matte black paper and stick it on a thick board and use thick silver marker to replace if I really cant find chalkboard too.

 

[lslyn]

Hi BTBs,

May I ask what's the flowers u using for the photoshoot? I'm lousy with flowers and not exactly sure what type would look appropriate for hand bouquet. Thanks.

 

[thesepthia]

i using white peony and blue hydragea

 

[kiwibean]

Hi All,

I am oso a Oct bride! wow thanks for ideas of props to bring for photoshoot. i am still having headache what type of casual wear to get & where to get. anyone can share?

Smilem,
May i know where you buy flower petals?

 

[lslyn]

Hey thesepthia,

Thanks for sharing. Shall go check out the flower types.

*Pardon for my ignorance, for PS, BTB usually go for artificial flowers right?

Kiwi, I have decided to omit the casual portion, just concentrate on the wedding gowns. Not exactly sure am i doing the right decision

 

[kiwibean]

Lslyn,

I think they use fresh flowers for PS.

oh u omit casual, i am still thinking too hehe

 

[anoko11]

Hi All,

Mine date is on the 30th Oct 2011. When do you gals intend to send out the invitations? Do you all plan to send out a save the date invites/email to all friends and family?

I have yet to book a JP for my date so far no luck for Dr Phua and Mr. Chia.

. Any good recommendations?

 

[crypaz]

Mine also on 30 Oct...booked Dr Phua in Dec 2010, when i email him wanted late morning slot he was already taken so got to shift my timing earlier...

 

[kiwibean]

Ee,

wow he accepted yours? I sent him request & he said its still too far for him to schedule. so far i understand they only confirm 3 months before the AD. wow 30th is really a GD day haha so many btbs

 

[anoko11]

Really I hope he can make it for mine. I have set it at 6:00-6:30pm. Which area will you be at?

 

[crypaz]

kiwi...i'm suprise that there's quite a number of brides on 30th. Not too sure how exactly good the day is....when did you ask Dr Phua?

I read the forum there are cases whereby some brides ROM date is earlier than us but Dr Phua couldn't confirm yet....

Rachel ...mine is at clark quay area but it's in the morning...Dr Phua rejected you already or he cannot confirm yet?

 

[kiwibean]

Ee, I asked during late Apr. He told me can't confirm and to check with him 3 mths before.

 

[lslyn]

Kiwi,
Is the fresh flowers from BS for PS?
Or do we have to purchase our own flowers for PS?

Cos I dont think mine includes

 

[snowmelody]

Hi ladies,

Have u all bought ur wedding shoe? Can share why u get it? I looking for one which s 4" with platform. Can't find anything I like fr tang and Anna rucci.

 

[anoko11]

Hi Ee
He asked me to ask him in June again if I really can't find anyone. But now I really dunno who else to look for. Will ask him again next week.

thanks for the info at least now I know that in the evening he might be free.

 

[crypaz]

Hi Rachel at least he didn't reject you so still got hope....Where would your dinner be?
