Hi brides, i came back!! hehe. Finally, i gv my speech and also sang to him. Heard my frens said the scene is so touching and some of guests shed their tears. My htb also v touched. Luckily i didn't cry =D But i wanted to complain my hotel, their services were suck. Recd lots of complaints from my guests after the banquet.V disappointed.

 

[melaniexin]

I create an wedding app for my wedding, it turn out quite successful. Nowadays everyone own a smartphone, so they could take pic n upload the pic or gv their blessing thru the apps. It can fill the guests's free time, at leaast they have something to do. Everyone can see once they download the app, just need to log in via fb account. and it has timeline, so that your photo will follow the sequence from morning till night.Check this out "Wedding Party"

Something to take note.
Assign job for two bros during the banquet dinner going on. ONe is to cue u march in . Another one is monitor the whole wedding liaise with banquet manager. the waitress will be lazy to refill the drinks, complain to manager immediately. Sometimes the manager dun even know to do the job properly. A lot of cock-up. Assign job for bros to keep those angbao tt wanna gv away. my htb couldnt find the angbao when wanna gv to kids.

Hi all!! Finally finished my wedding yest!! Had a really awesome wedding. Food is great, nv expect the guests to have so many raves for the food, kena sabotage by my emcees to dance gangnam style be it we won or lost the game they planned, great entertainment great company!

No delay, hotel coordinator is v gd, planned the event well. Svc is gd too, no delays for everything, really happy & satisfied! Drinks & wines served without delay during covktail reception, hotel helpers v promt in serving us, cue us exactly on time for both march ins, with timer on hand! both songs end exactly aft cutting wedding cake w some photography & 2nd march in song ended just nice aft we finish champange pouring..Really lucky that I chose Crowne Plaza!

Chinorene & Yanting, waiting for u ya! Slowly count dwn hor!

Melanie, urs at M hotel? It's in my list as well, but they nv get back to me aft I called them twice. So I dun expect they will serve my guests well too..sorry to hear this from u. Anyway glad that ur guests enjoyed ur speech

 

[princess_cyn]

Hi all! My AD on this saturday! So nervous and yet still planning guest list. Alot of last min now -_-

 

[jovaine00]

Hey Cynthia, time flies huh! Enjoy planning have fun & be the most beautiful bride on ur day.

 

[yanting]

Jasmine! Finally your stressful days over le! Ya I'm counting down liao, 19 more days to go!! Getting stressed over table planning n AD schedule nw.. V worried nt enough tables or pple last min fly kites, and AD nt enough time in the morn

n another major thing that I haven't started on... Packing my room! Aiyo that one is real headache! Haha..

 

[jovaine00]

Yanting, urs also lunch huh? Its v rush lah, must chop chop, I managed to complete tea ceremony by 10am & head to Hotel straight.

No worries abt AD schedule. U want my copy? V detail & accurate timing. Give me ur email.

As for tables, open min tables then set aside some reserved tables just in case. Those who fly kites beyond our control lor, no choice. Dun let it affect u ya, u must enjoy ur big day!

Most impt is u must have a good coordinator to oversee the whole event. Start from your morning to aft ur lunch or dinner. Coordinator v impt. Make sure all ur helpers know their roles well & be punctual. ANy miscommunication will cock up the whole thing & delay.

 

[jovaine00]

Yes, i'm no longer stress, happy & relax!

One thing gd abt lunch, my guests still sitting & chatting aft dessert till almost 5pm then clear as Hotel need to get ready for another couple's wedding dinner.

Have more time for photoshoot aft ur lunch, mingle with guests as they not rushing off since its really early. Glad that I've made the right decision by taking lunch instead...I v lorsor hor..LOL

[yanting]

hey Jasmine, where did you buy the bow ties for the bros that time huh? how much is it? am planning to go shopping for them tonite, but dunno where is cheap n gd..

 

[alzo]

Hi Yanting, I got mine at Far East Plaza. Probably the cheapest I know so far, at $3 each Was at level 2 or 3, Can't Remb exactly which level thoug. Hope it helps

 

[jovaine00]

Hey Yanting, sorry for the late reply. I got them at Chinatown mkt lvl 2 or 3. It's $7.90 each. So I guess it's cheaper to go to FEP as recommended by Alzo.

Date drawing closer!!

 

[princess_cyn]

Hello all! I'm back! I'm so glad everything runs so smoothly.. No cock-up. Only 2 person didn't turn up.. Everyone loves our montage and wedding video montage, instant prints was also quite entertaining for the guest. http://www.facebook.com/cynthia.lim.1232?ref=tn_tnmn

Can add me in fb if u wan

Yeah man! Go ahead & snip it short! Shiok hor!

 

[lovemiya]

Hi all, can i ask is it a normal practice for MUA to tell the bride not to remove her makeup that was done in the morning all the way till evening, and the MUA will just do simple touchup. Even though bride's morning makeup was done hastily due to MUA reached late.

 

[princess_cyn]

Thanksss Jasmine! Guve me fb link? So that I could add u?

Miyabi, it's not normal! Is she using any special kind of makeup? It's like one whole day with the sweat and sebum, even by touch up in the evening, it would not look nice in my opinion.. It's your big day, u wanna look your best. Talk to your mua again? If not, engage someone else. =)

 

[jovaine00]

Hi Miyabi, it's v abnormal can! I think even greenhorn in the MUA industry knows that make up can't last the entire day, even by noon it will start to melt alrdy. By the way, is ur AD over?

Cynthia, have u chop ur hair?! Lol my fb is jasmine ric. I add u k

Anybody keen to share their AD photos here?

 

[lemonzil]

Hi, anyone has got any AD photographer to recommend?

 

[Aggiett]

Hi Alicia! I signed with Whitelink last yr, haven't gone to take my photos yet but so far still feel their service is ok. N my bro used them few yrs ago for their wedding so shd b ok bah.. My colleague recently used digio, she didn't really like their service n felt that it's a bit hard to find a nice evening gown (unless u r going to mtm la).. A gd fren also used Thomson last yr, I didn't really like their photography style la.. So it's really up to individual one la, so u got to check out their style n all that see whether u like bah..

 

[Aggiett]

Hi Yanting,

Who's ur coordiantor? How are the gowns like? Did u top up for designer gown? Who's your PG? How much u pay for each photo? And did you get back the chosen photos (in package) in soft copy? Thank you
