Inouenaoko: I do my PS in end may due to my work schedule. Will be quite busy from June to Sept and cant take too much leave in between. My BS allow me to choose different gowns for my AD unless i super love the gowns i chose for my PS, so i can still choose my AD gowns closer to my big day.
As for the PG, still looking around. For VG, my bf kind of want tis particular guy whom his frd engaged for his wedding. May want to 'chop' him early as i realised that 27 Jan is quite a popular day for wedding. How about u?
You sign up for local BS so how come want to sign up for JB one?

Oh I didn't ask if I can change my gown closer e date.. Hmmm maybe can only ask when I go for fitting in May. No choice to go early PS cos my HTB goin ICT and e face will sure be black & red and will took a few mths to back to normal. So no choice.
I already booked for VG le, cos mine is afternoon banquet and i having solemisation at 11am. I wanna e wedding highlights & solemisation both included, seems very rush, so abit rush that's why started sourcing early, in case can't be done then I can have change of plan. Bt settled le
For PG as my BIL teaches photoshoot hence he know quite a no. of PG, he will settle for us.. Hmmm I presume it's settled ba. ~.~ hahaa

Hi hazel! I dropped by rico to try their gowns too... really beautiful gowns they have! And the lady who helped me that day was so sweet and nice... her name's Jessie and she's one of the designers.
I'm probably not going to sign up with Rico though cos I didn't really like the photography style. But otherwise I think the package offered was very attractive in terms of price and items.

gracie:sign up another package cause i wanna wear more gowns as this is the only time i am able to do so.haha.
you are still able to choose the gown when nearer to ur wedding day,i was told by my BS i need to pay 300 if wanna change to another gown after confirming.
gracie & gwyne:i am still considering if there is a need to have a VG.PG+VG=very expensive.
I am still discussing with the PG as there is some risk of him not able to make it due to ns.His price is very worth it with great shooting skills so i have to pray hard he won't book in on that sun.

Inouenaoko: Oic, haha! For me is to keep it simple for the wedding. Actually our initial plan was do a simple ceremony, invite immediate family members & some close frds, tat's it. And go for Photoshoot for wedding album
But end up, we keep changing during planning stage and decide to do banquet.
My BS coordinator told me that my PS gowns can b different fm my AD. They better make sure is correct. Otherwise i make sure the gown i choose, no one can take to wear till i wear on my AD, haha! And I do my PS so early bcos it takes few mths to edit the photos & come out into album as advised by them.
Dumbo : I don't think you are being kiasu, my coordinator tell me fm PS to collect your album, the process is min 6mths. I was surprised by the duration, cos my frd took her pix in apr/may i think and her wedding was in Aug (that was almost 3yrs back).. So i decided to do my PS in end May, as originally i wanted to do in June.

i have ask around the rate for AD photography-around 1.7k to 2.5k.i got mine less than 1.2k.
Gracie:My initial plan is same as you at first.Then when we really sit down & plan,still go for banquet.scared will regret next time.

soursop: i got my PG at $1.8k, lucky i booked him earlier coz he just won a wedding photography contest like 2 weeks back. if i booked him after this, i believe his price wld have increase. haha!
anyway, i tink a decent PG would be ard $1.5k onwards. if you are lucky, u can also get a relatively good one ard $1.2k-1.5k.
u started looking ard already? who have u shortlisted?
Since i have confirmed my HTB, venue, BS, VG and PG, what else do i have to prepare? Im like so bored now, nothing else to prepare for the wedding. :S

Lishan: I've shortlisted a few. Gonna meet up with this guy this wednesday. Hopefully can settle the AD photography soon.. after that, can relax for a while! haha!
How abt ur colour theme? bridesmaid/mothers dresses? If u're thinking of tailoring, will hafta book early too.
I'm also shortlisting places to go for my Prewedding shoot... may need some recceing/researching. cos the gowns u choose hafta complement the location too (my very clever HTB pointed that out!;P).
Gosh... it's like some massive project!

soursop: im leaving the research for the locations to my HTB, he got so so so many ideas for the shoot man...really cannot take it. we actually took up another pre-wedding shoot with a freelance PG, on top-up of my BS shoot, coz he really wanted it. i got a super hiao HTB. LOL!
bridesmaid n my mom's dress will b purchase off the shelf when the date is nearer, dun wanna spend too much time on it.
hmm..since im quite free now, do u tink it's good that i go down to BS n see look their gowns?

Li Li: wow, so fast u are finalising ur rings already. When is your PS?
I have not found my wedding bands yet and not buying till after my PS so no wedding bands pix for my PS. Will ask my AD PG to take some shots of it..
Actually i don't tik is a must but it depends on individual couples.

Oh nw i find tht i more kiasu.. i bought my wedding band le.. size amended & collected few weeks ago nw waiting for AD then can wear..
btw i never thgt of wearing it during PS. bt i think quite a good idea, since e album is abt our marriage, so shld have e significant wedding band in the album to complete "Our Wedding"....
btw i nw headache over e location for PS & what to wear for couple clothing.... any good suggestion?

*waves* to all Jan BTBs.
Gracie, Gwyne, Ashley and Inouenaoko, me also 27 Jan BTB.
Now I am stressed...I haven confirmed my BS and looking at the timelines you girls posted, I think I am super tight for time!
Went to see a few BS and tried on their gowns. They all looked pretty much the same to me, except for one BS which I liked their gown and service But they are not one stop, cos they specialise in gowns, which means I gotta look for PG and even accessories separately. and they only provide 1 WG, 1 EG, 1 Suit for HTB and makeup plus flowers.
The one stop ones stock many gowns so will definitely be able to find something there. Just have to hope the photography turns out ok.
How how?? Affordable one stop vs more expensive ala carte but pretty gown.

Hi raindeer! You are not alone!
I'm a 27th jan btb too and likewise I'm facing the same headache of not sure whether to go with all-in-one package or ala carte :/ biggest worry is about the photography part too! But looking at the costs, most likely going for one stop studios, hopefully able to find the right one :>
Gracie:
hahaha..we went shopping and happened to see 2 designs that we liked & suits both of us. so was KIV-ing abt buying it.
didnt want to buy so early, then thought would be nice to have the rings on, quite significant for PS, thats y asking around.
my PS have not decided yet, will be going down to the BS to discuss soon. think should be round be Aug?
Soursop:
do consider having the bands on...very significant wor

gwyne_mary, lishan, i do not have friends with nice cars, thats why needed to rent. any reccomendations on the car rental? cuz i think if the merc offered by Feline is still decently new and nice.. i wont mind paying extra for the car! just dunno how does the car look like.. and the condition. so i;m abit apprehensive.
Raindeer: You shld choose on wat you reali wan & go for it. As long your budget permit, can go for ala carte..
I saw that you got your rings too.. tats fast. I'm still looking around..
Gwyne: How about those casual clothings for your couple outing? Same design top with jeans? I plan to wear same top wif jeans skirt, my bf in jeans & we gg to buy same colour/design of shoes to wear.. hehe!
