Hi Emily & soceline

I am also a Sept 2013 BTB!!! Have signed my BS package with Bliss (formerly known as Signoria) and now sourcing for outdoor garden wedding venues (in SG) or hotel/restaurant (in Malaysia JB).

Emily, I'm also thinking of Cartier wedding band!! Have you done your research? How much is it? I am looking at the classic love band.

Our preferred date is also in Sept! But my FPIL said need to check the tong shu, which hasn't been published yet. Zzz... I think this is all unnecessary but, what to do, not worth fighting with them over a date.

So all I've done is shortlist a few venues within our budget, but haven't engaged them yet, nor really go check out the place. So worried by the time the tong shu is out, duno whether I will still be able to get the date I want..

Hi Jann,

Congratulation !!
Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience but, of course, it is also one of the most important times of your life as you plan the beginning of your new journey together.

Planning a fairy tale wedding is probably a dream that most brides-to-be have had since they were in pigtails. The dress, the cake, the bridesmaids, the honeymoon all seem like pretty simple subjects to address when the time comes to begin planning the big day. When and if, it becomes too much too handle


I'm a wedding planner and hopefully i can help you to plan from concept to completion in yr wonderful journey. You will save time, money and unnecessary stress. Feel free to contact me anytime at 96217278. No obligation, do not worry

Hope to hear from you

Best wishes.

Jann, focus on those things tt will potentially have price hike. E.g. bridal they increase price every year. Photography and videography as well.
But it's good to do some research first before u start sourcing if not you may find something cheap but not your style and it wouldn't turn out the way u wanted

My bf just proposed and I was thinking of getting married in Sep'13. Where do I start? Any tips?

Does everyone get the fengshui master to calculate the date?

Hi everyone!

I am also a september bride!!! getting married on 6th sept 2013!! I have settled most of my stuff except for videography. Hope everyone is enjoying the process!!

Dear Chris,

Congrats on getting married!! You might want to start researching for your wedding first! cos there are a lot of vendors for photography, videography, banquet and so on. start with settling ur banquet venue! if there's a hotel or restaurant u like just go down and take a look and see if u like the location and the price! then u can email the hotels for quotation on their banquet. Maybe can try to settle banquet by this year cos the price of banquet increases every year! And since sept is the chinese calendar eighth month u might want to start booking things soon!Keep in mind a budget for everything so that u don't overspend! If u book earlier u have more time to save up as well... the closer u book to your wedding date u might feel a bit stress up over money issues!
For us, my Future FIL has a friend who knows how to calculate the date for us and he also advice us when is the timing to avoid doing the customary stuff. I think just ask one fengshui master for date cos if u ask too many people u will end up getting confused when they start giving u different good dates.
All in all enjoy the process and look around this forum if u have any questions!

Hi All, I am also a btb in sep 2013. Mine is on the 15th Sept 2013. Booked M-hotel for our banquet and My Bridal Room for our bridal package.Planning of guest list and event flow are really a headache. As solomisation and traditional ceremony will be held on the same day too.As our banquet is held during lunch, timing wise is a bit rush. Anyone here are holding a lunch banquet too? Possible to share your event flow?

Hi Star Blue,

I have the same wedding date as you-06 sep 13.
I saw there is a posting that 06 sep 13 is a PO RI which make me quite concerned

.

Are you still sticking with you dates?

Hi Catherine!

I am still sticking to my date! Cos we had our dates calculated by my father in law friend and he said it's the best date for us using our ba zhi! So even the David tong also said that tong Shu is only a guide used and not the most accurate unless u choose date by ba zhi! So we are still sticking to 6th sept!! This kind of date thing don't ask to many people for opinion if not will be very frustrating! Just choose one date! Stick to it, happily organise wedding and be a happy bride! After the wedding we will work hard for our marriage if things don't work out then can't be choosing the wrong date it will be because we did not put enough effort to maintain our marriage! =) that's what I choose to believe!
We have choose the date by calculating ba zhi I can't keep changing my wedding date after hearing every negative comment on my wedding date.

Hi lovelies! I'm a Sep 2013 BTB as well! We have decided on the date and have shortlisted Pan Pacific for the banquet and will be checking out the place on Tue! we r now shortlisting the BS.. some advice needed here! We actually have a few PG that we really love their style. If we book the PG for the pre-wedding shoot,does the PG package include gowns and make-up artist?
