cowcow: my PG got the white lacy umbrella i have in my PS from aussie, maybe u can try check out any online aussie stores? he says it's $80+.. super expensive!

 

[strikingreality]

If it's for your PS, then still got time to get right? Buy from eBay! THere are a lot of really nice ones from HK! Approx $40 thereabouts?

 

[sapphire05]

Maybe after Cowcow is done with her lacy umbrella.. can sell to me as 2nd hand for my ps. ahahah

Hi Brides to Be,

If you are furnishing your new place and are looking for a nice Teak study table, you can consider this which we are selling to make room for nursery

[rubbishcow]

Kass, Rachel, i'm afraid they cant arrive before 28th Oct..

 

[strikingreality]

cow cow >> Talk to the seller and see how long they normally take to dispatch... explain the situation to them, look at the feedback? they look like quite a big seller and I don't think delivery from HKG to SIN will take more than a week.

 

[rubbishcow]

Hey ladies! i'm back after my solemnization... yesterday was really busy and excited...

haha! btw.. cynthia really did a good job on my nails and i really heart it alot! gotta keep the nails until 28th for photoshoot...

[styleinyou]

Hi Ladies> my business trip is cancelled so I can make you all as of now till further notice
so where in Orchard we meeting btw?
I was recently @ Wheelock Sun with Moon - nice hangout place...
another super quiet place (but i nvr go before) DOME in Shaw (Lido)
let me know if you all need help in booking....Else any buffet you all keen?

For Umbrella (red) wise, I saw it in Chinatown selling ard $20.
White umbrella heard Taiwan got many. If anyone is keen, i can help to get it during my PS in mid-Nov

Getting excited

Hi Princess> orh im on the 9th, we are 4 days away

 

[sapphire05]

Hi Siy.. Im keen to get the white lace umbrella... hmm.. Should I get it?

hi Princess... my wedding date is on 11.11. Yours on 5th, Siy's on 9th and mine on 11th.

 

[troides]

cow cow, your ring pillow is very unique, it fits the garden theme so well

Is it done by the florist?

 

[rubbishcow]

lish, yep! it cost $89!! fainted...

Siy, what buffet do you recommend?

 

[sbearie]

Siy, venue tentatively fixed at Fridays (heeren). But I think too crowded maybe.

If buffet how at Carousel at Scottes? Cheap and good. Haha!!

 

[makeyoushop]

orh Carousel is great....think i got the 15% discount card...how many of us?

Think I can help to book

What you gals think?

 

[makeyoushop]

Sapphire05> Let me know if you are keen on the umbrella then I help u to find

 

[sapphire05]

Hi Eve... Carousel sounds good!

Was thinking that I'll buy over the lace umbrella from those who have used since it would be a 1-time use for us.

 

[sbearie]

Hi Eve, we will confirm the number of pple by this weekend can?? Those yet to respond to the event kindly reply by this weekend!! Thanks!!!

 

[strikingreality]

Wanna ask you girls, for jiemei dresses, will anyone of you be MTM-ing? I'm thinking of taking my jiemei's measurements to BKK for tailoring... not sure how long it will take or how much it will cost though...

Prob is I most likely cannot buy off the rack as my jie mei comes in a variety of "sizes", not all can fit into those generic dresses which we can bulk purchase.

 

[princess_sus]

Hi Ladies

Wow our wedding date so near to each other.so have u gals booked n find a good hotel yet?
u gals have FB a/cs?

 

[janice_ong]

Hi Kass
I intend to make too. Going BKK is a great idea and it is cheaper. What if alteration needs to be made? It will be a problem. I will get a local seamstress, probably about $100 per piece. For BKK, i think will be half the price...
Infact it is really troublesome to get all to agreed on a design. I am having headache on this...At the end of the day, I may get them to buy something off the rack in accordance to a certain colour theme...
Warmest Regards
Janice Ong

 

[sbearie]

Hi ladies, seems like carousel has up their price. $58++ for weekday dinner.

Any other suggestions??

 

[babymarian]

Kass, I'm MTM-ing my bridesmaid dresses with Kim. I met her last week with my bridesmaids. The first fitting will be done in December. Labour cost is around 170 dollars per dress. The cost of the materials have not been added

I totally agree with you that it's quite hard to buy off the rack as they have different preferences and different sizes.

 

[styleinyou]

Hi ladies, would liked to recommend u ladies one restaurant....SHASHLIK RESTAURANT (Russian food)

Only managed to find this link:-
URL: http://www.singaporemirror.com.sg/co_shashlik.htm

Take a look & I can go n book if you all keen

I love their dessert, which is called "Alsaka XXXX" its cake pour with some brandy then put on flames....cool right....

Its located at Far East Shopping Centre not alot of pple know this place...unsure if u all tried it before

 

[sbearie]

Wow Russian food! Nv tried before. I'm on for this.

 

[strikingreality]

Marian Hoo >> Wow, $170 per dress is a lot... Are you paying for the entire sum, or are your jiemeis paying for a portion? How about your xiongdis?

 

[babymarian]

Kass, yup, I'll be paying the entire sum...we have no gate crashing so they won't have any red packets to take...
For the groomsmen, I think they will use their own suits...i do hope they have black suits...hehehe...
we will provide the accessories (bow tie etc) for them to match the colours of the bridesmaids' dresses...

 

[sapphire05]

Hi ladies.. Im not going to MTM my jiemei's dresses. Will just give them a colour theme to coordinate.

Hi Marian - $170 per dress is expensive... and that's not including the fabric?

Hi Siy.. Yes, Ive been to Shashlik. They have quite nice food

 

[clintomania]

I'm game for the Russian food too!

Rachel: maybe u shd change the venue in the FB events

 

[styleinyou]

glad u all keen into my idea cos i will then have a chance to try it out again 2nd time.
this time we got more pple & we get to share all our food, especially the dessert

 

[strudels]

Hi Ladies,

We had a problem here, we had a hard time booking hotel for oct and nov 2011. Had call up most of the 5 stars hotels in Singapore but none are available. Any other location (e.g country clubs) will u ladies advice? Or any one have 1 Oct or 19 Nov slot to exchange?

TIA!!

 

[sbearie]

Hi Karen, how about trying Raffles Town Club?? I will be holding my wedding there. If u are keen I can send u photos of their ball room set ups and bridal suite. Jus drop mi ur email

 

[strikingreality]

Hello Karen, how many tables are u looking at and what's your budget?

Have you tried Resorts World or Marina Bay Sands?

 

[strudels]

Hi Rach and Kass,

We are actually looking at ard 30-35 tables. Budget $1200 and below. But most hotel are fully booked. Sad!!

 

[strikingreality]

Karen - You can try Orchid Country Club (Peach Garden) or Keppel Club (Peony Jade). Both have the capacity for your dinner. Do also consider the hotels in Sentosa, if you haven't as well.

RWS and MBS should have the capacity as they have a large function space, but prices are above your budget. But no harm checking them out as well.

 

[breeeze]

Hi I am new here. I'm a 2011 BTB too!

Anyone has booked Loud! Productions/One Eye Click/36 Frames as their AD VG or PG? I've shortlisted a few.. Will be discussing with my htb once i got their quotations.

I would be happy if you can PM / email me your views.

my email: [email protected]

Thanks!

 

[sapphire05]

Hi Cheryl... Im with One Eye Click.

 

[evon_gladys]

Hi Cheryl, my bf is Loud!'s director so I'm with them... How they work is, they get to know the couple personally, know the style you like, your personality, and give you something that's what you want and speaks off YOU..

My best friend is 36 frame's VG... She is good of course! Lol...

 

[candycandy001]

Evon Gladys Woo> All your friends are in the industry hor? so good.

 

[evon_gladys]

Candy: not good when you really want your friends to be your guests but you like and trust your friends' work... Dilemma.. :/

 

[candycandy001]

Evon Gladys Woo (evon_gladys) > Oh ya, it is true... ANyway, hope ur preparation goes smoothly...

 

[evon_gladys]

thanks...

hope everyone's good too~ especially those JAN's brides... less than 100 days away!
