Sherlyn, the mention of celebrating your girl's birthday with your wedding is just so cute! Hehehz. Sounds like fun for her also!
Anyway not much preparation for my now as I rest for the month after my solemnization. Hehez. Most probably try to arrange an appointment to meet the gown designer for the first time next month to have a chit-chat, look-feel session. Hehez.
We also haven chosen our theme of the wedding. Might not be having a fixed theme but maybe a color theme for just us and the brothers and sisters. Hehez.

hey ladies !
I just back from Genting and I think i will never go there again .. soo boring .
Hey kat & Sherlyn, yes . maldives is a super good choice to consider for honeymoon.
I totally agreed that Maldives is super nice.
It a very luxurious holiday . hahaz.. I have went there last August and stayed in this super luxury villa. It called Angsana velavaru !
http://www.angsana.com/EN/Properties/Velavaru/Categories/InOcean_Villas
U can check out the above link .
I have stayed in this inocean villa. The place is super nice and the staff there is also very friendly . A super relaxing place to be in . I missed that place like crazy .. but it not a cheap place to go . Each person like $3,300 for a 5 days trip . I will recommend you all to go for half board which means include breakfast & dinner . If not it will be really expensive.
My fiance & I did not spend much in Maldives . I recalled I spend lots of tipping .. hahahz.. mm.. generally I think we spend less than $200 in total in maldives.
I am thinking of going Europe for honeymoon for about 3 weeks .I wanna go Rome,Vernice, Paris, spain , Switerzland. hee Initally I thinking of going back Maldives .. but my mum said I should go other places.. so yeah we going Europe. My fiance has promised me. hehe
Wow.. Septhia u also a mum
so We have 2 mums in this forum . hee .
Sherlyn, I heard PanPacific the food is good.

Hey Cherry, I have seen the Angsana Velavaru reviews on Paradise Asia before if I'm not wrong. Hehez. My hubby and I are lovers of private beach resorts so we will always watch that show for ideas and of 'cos look for nice resorts to stay in. Maldives sure is lovely but Alaska is also nice for the Northern Light! Just that it will be damn cold. Haha! :X
Anyway I think maybe 3-6 months before wedding we can start contacting the hotel co-ordinator? I forgot what my hotel co-ordinator told us but it's along that line when you will have food tasting and decision on the themes and all for the AD.
As for the montage, I supposed you can still ask your photographer to do it if you have licensed songs to use. We have informed our photographer of the licensing issue in Singapore and she said she will be using royalty-free music for us then. Actually personally no preference over music for the montage as long as the photographer chose a good piece for it. Hehez.
Hope that bit of information helps!

Hey Cherry, you can do the montage yourself as long as you remember 'bout the copyright issue. You don't wanna pay 300 bucks just for one song that you're using.
Actually I think there is no harm contacting them earlier to find out. I supposed they wouldn't bite and be more than willing to help. Haha!
As for Alaska, have not really checked the cost of going there since there really isn't any package that goes to Alaska. The only package that is found is usually the cruise to Alaska which wouldn't allow us to catch the Northern Light. 'Cos I supposed the air ticket to fly there is already not that cheap. Boohoo.

Hi Michelle, the Northern Light also need to go during a certain period which I think is the transition between the coldest to the warmer period. And usually the Northern Light will happen during like say 3AM in the morning and the people will wake you up to bring you to a certain place to look at the Northern Light. And of 'cos it's also temperature dependent so it will not appear everyday. Hehez. But it's just too cold! Need a mid-cold place to visit before hopping to Alaska. Most probably gonna try Japan for their winter maybe. Haha!
Anyway good luck sourcing for your AD videographer and photographer! Have you shortlisted someone already or still on the look?

Thanks Kat & Michelle. Yeah I think I will ask my banquet coordinator early . yes it mad to pay for a montage for 300 plus for a song ... hahahaz..
yes Michelle, I should be doing Free & easy myself.. hehe.. my best friend always travel Free&easy in Europe.. I guess it quite easy to get around . Free & Easy is less stressful can walk at my own pace. I do not need to wake up soooo early in the morning . hehe.. I am a sleepy head.
So michelle who have u short list ?

Kat Thinking of doing the same like you, just choose a color theme for bridesmaid and groomsmen, to do a full theme for wedding too exhaustive already! HAHA.
I've shortlisted quite a few of PG/VG, one is quoting me less than 2K for PG & VG. Is it too good to be true?

Hey Michelle, Japan everywhere is nice! Hehez. Have yet to decide where 'bout to go since there is still time to plan for that. The wedding planning is still top priority!
Sherlyn, I didn't get a package for PG/VG so am not very sure the usual market rate. For the photographer I can only give a rough guide to see what extra cost there might be:
- How many hours of photography service do they provide?
- Do they provide a 2nd photographer for the day and what is the rate?
- What is the hourly rate if you exceed the number of hours given in the package?
- Does the above-mentioned hourly rate applies to both main photographer AND 2nd photographer or individual hour rates?
- Do they have a before 7AM and/or after 12 midnight surcharge hourly rate?
- Number of photos returned and for each additional photos for the album how much is it?
- What are the type of albums given and there is a choice to change, what are the charges?
I'm not sure if this is applicable to you but that's basically how I compare the photographer charges when I looked for mine. And since we might not be getting a videographer, I can't give you any advice on that. Hope that little helps!

Kat You're always so helpful! 
Thanks for coming up with so many main points for me! Some I didn't even thought of! (
Will keep those in mind and throw them the question. I'm shortlisting quite a few, gonna meet with 2 first, early next week. Hope all's well!
lowpyng So far I've only see his photography portfolio online. Videography should be their outsource. Photography is quite okay, but just too much editing/photoshop for my liking.
If you need a videographer, 1.5K inclusing SDE, some do have. But my main concern when having SDE is that, if the video turns out bad, would you still want it to be screened at banquet? So ultimately, it's the products you get for the price you pay for.
My take would be to take one more reliable and good reputation one.

Sherlyn, no problem at all! It's just that since I have already done that part for my AD, so just sharing some comparison that I have done. Hehez.
Anyway good to meet up with anyone you're looking for to see if you have the connection with them since it's important to be natural in front of people you are comfortable with, then they can capture you at your best. Also like what lowpyng said, the style of the portfolio presented to you.
So good luck in your search!

Hahaha! No lah. We just think Alaska is special for the Northern Light. Can go to Iceland also but think it's not as pretty or something. Hehez. But the temperature is the main issue. And still issues of how to bring my camera about. Haha! Lots of preparation to be done if we are going.
Maldives is nice! Surely gonna go to many of their resorts there in future!

Agree with lowpyng, cost will depends on the airfare & accommodation but requires alot of planning. Think i might go with travel agency, to save the worries
Finally, i've confirmed my MUA...now i can also shake leg till year end haha
I've attended afew weddings this few wks. A good planning is important, to avoid any cock-up on the actual day, especially if we are having chinese customary. Think we can discuss further more on this topic next year hehe....

May be u can use wig or hair extension to have more changes in hairstyle. Cherry au also had short hair during her AD, but yet she had alot of hairstyle..u can take alook on her mutiply, for some ideas

U are welcome lydia
I rather u take Dana rather than Cherry. My gf got married ystr & she also engaged Cherry..her hairstyle is good but makeup wise not as skillfull compared to Dana & Angel. I think my gf's face look quite white on camera...All her rates are stated on her website.
Day & Night MA is $600 + trial-makeup only (if hairstyle need to add $80). Ystr i paid extra $30 for the ampoule & 2 sets of eyelash. I took the package that includes makeup for 2nd march-in, so it will be $600 + $150, it also comes with a crystal bouquet (fee loan) for 1st march-in
Angel is a very sweet lady, she served me & my hubby drinks, gave me 2 little gifts & even msg me this morning for feedback & if the makeup was lasting a not =)
Actually i found another makeup artist who is cheap & looks quite good...but she just came from HK, so if we confirm her for next yr Oct AD, it might be abit risky...but if u wish to know, i can give u the link ^.^

Cherry, that is provided I have lots of money to spend at Maldives. Hahah! Most likely will do a resort hopping by going back to Maldives a few times.
Anyway Lydia, if you personally don't like the work of Cherry then I advise you not to take Cherry. Otherwise you can always go for a trial makeup session before deciding if you want her for your AD.
MC! Good for you eh! Can shake leg now... I still have not make an appointment to visit the gown designer. Boohoo. This month like quite busy also since everyone rushing for my hubby's bro's wedding in September. Me got to look for pretty dress to wear to dinner! Zzz.

Hey Cherry, I thought the MUA will help out with doing makeup and hairdo for mother and mother-in-law? At least that's what I asked Dana and she said if there are too many people, she will get her student to help out. Of 'cos at per person charge.
Why not try asking your MUA 'bout it? She should have a better knowledge on who can work together with her.

Hi Jim! Welcome to the Oct 2011 BTB thread!
We have the same date!
It's true that a lot of the hotels after some researching then has already either been tentatively booked or booked.
Below is a list of the different availabilities of hotels we have emailed in May for 22nd October 2011. Since it has been 2 months, you will have to email them again to ask.
Available as of May:
- Copthorne King's Hotel Singapore
- Furama CityCentre Singapore
- Hilton Hotel
- Orchard Parade Hotel
Tentative Booking as of May:
- Carlton Hotel (Large ballroom was tentatively booked while the smaller one was still available for booking)
- Marina Mandarin
No confirmation of availability:
- Furama Riverfront
- Sheraton Towers
- York Hotel
Booked:
- Amara Hotel
- Orchard Hotel
- Swissotel Merchant Court
So Goodwood Park is fully booked for all ballrooms? 'Cos in May, 2 of their ballrooms are still available on that date.
Hope the list above will help you! Our main criteria for finding our hotel was the minimum number of tables of the hotel on a weekend. 'Cos most hotels have a minimum of 30 tables, we can only shortlist down to that many. Then we have to filter out the more expensive hotels, we have only a handful to try. Why in the end we emailed so many hotels was 'cos initially we were interested in Carlton Hotel but it was tentatively booked and just too many unconfirmed items. But luckily for us, M Hotel became our number one choice and it was available so we made a booking with them in June.
Good luck in finding your ideal venue! Just spam all the hotels then decide from there.

Hey Jim! Thanks! Luckily the BTBs here encouraged me else I will be really discouraged by the variou replies from the hotels.
My hubby and I didn't know the date was so hot also! 'Cos we got the date through a geomancer and it seems like it's not one of the super auspicious date in the tong shu also so not sure why so many hotels were taken on that date. Might be 'cos it's a weekend and usually people have weddings in the last quarter of the year, especially when everyone is avoiding the Tiger year this year for marriage.
Anyway good luck to you finding your venue soon! Wedding is so expensive, truely agree with you that hopefully can try to cover the cost!
