seems like.. i dont know. i met my AD MUA when i visited the shop for 1st fitting.
my PS MUA was another person.
actually, might not be that bad.. depending on the wig. or do you want to call up the PS to check if you can speak to your MUA for advise?
nobody actually really believe i had additional hair during both AD and PS...

dont worry too much.. just give them a ring. talk to your MUA. i reckon it will be a lot more assuring.
just remember, for your PS, remember to smile.. and sleep more the night before (i doubt it'll be easy).

ms yeo, yes, 1 in the morning 1 in the evening. I topped up extra for touch up before my ROM in the noon and then a change of hairstyle plus touch up for my 2nd march in.
my MIL didnt want only my mum did engage her service. can't remember if it's 120 or 150...

oh, my ROM was in the noon, solely on it's own. banquet in the evening.. so my MUA had to see me 4 times... haha. morning, then noon then evening before banquet and finally before 2nd march in.
yeap usually evening make up can last for the night. if you dont sweat a lot... the hairstyle comes along with it. but different MUA may work differently... mine definitely contains both.

msyeo: makeup usually comes with hairdo, mine is solemnisation before dinner so I'll just make do with one style, save money and both my gown and evening gown looks better with my hair bun up so I reckon that there is no need to waste extra money even though I have a separate gown for solemnisation, but it's a personal preference anyway!
rabber: don't worry, it's their job to make you look pretty! You job is just to smile and look pretty!

Finally found my 2nd march in song. It's You and Me by Olivia Ong. My fiance liked the song too so one more task down! Phew. He has yet to complete the montage though. Time to start nagging at him again.
My bridal studio also asked me not to cut my hair too short and plus I need to keep my fringe at a certain length so it's easier for my MUA to style my hair. My hair is currently in a mess now and I can't do anything about it. Anyway look on the bright side, we have only 2 more months to go and then we can do what we like to our hair.
Lemonzil: Where did you go to get your GDL stuff? Am going to start sourcing for it next month.

Bibilow: hehehe.. well at least he's doing the montage.. dont worry too much. when the date draws nearer, he'll feel the heat to start working everything out.
yeap, dont cut your hair already.. let ur MUA do wonders on your AD. My MUA also asked me not to. just do some touch up on the colours will do.
I got my GDL stuff from Le Knot (City Plaza level 5). The aunty and the lady (forgot her name opps...) are very very nice. they are not hardsell type and they will advise you patiently.
Just need to tell them both your htb and your dialect group they will give you the list of items you need to buy. My An Chuang items and Dowry are all bought there too.
of course some items dont need to buy/can source outside (cheaper e.g. pig trotters/bed sheets/pyjamas etc) we got on our own...

bibilow: haha, talk about hair, i realised my hair just stops growing somehow whenever it hits the current length 
But I just have to cut my fringe, too irritating to keep it long, I'll just make do with a sideswept one which I prefer! You and me is nice, was considering it too!

Lemonzil: thanks.. Will go down to check it out. Thought Chinatown market was the only one selling it. Do they have an zhuang items as well? He is supposed to do the montage but yet now, nothing is done yet. It's 2 months to our big day and sometimes I really do hate to nag at him every single day. Can't wait for the big day to be over.
Khanompang: Yup.. I like the beginning where Olivia will sing without any background music. Thought it will be good when we can both march in when the music starts. I don't like my fringe to be too long too coz my hair is quite flat. Now my hair is limp and my colour is kinda fading too. I think I look like an ugly bride to be. So how's your bridal album coming up? Have you seen the layout yet?

Bibilow: actually there are lots of shops out there selling. But guess the prices at Chinatown maybe more competitive. Personally i really like Le Knot's very friendly service. Yes they sell An Chuang and Jia Zhuang items too.
They will also brief you on the necessary procedures even though the instructions slip is already in the package. And when you are unsure, anytime you can call them to ask over the phone! My hubby called them a few times before during and after collection of those items. It feels like full fledge good customer service to us.
We decided to change our bedside lamp design on the very day of An Chuang (we collected the items 1 day before) and the aunty who was still having her breakfast changed for us without 2nd thoughts.
it's 2 months away.. i think he will only start to feel the heat 1 month before your wedding. talk to him. share with him your concerns and worry. I'm sure he will start working something out. Dont over stress on this! Well, when the big day is over, perhaps you'll feel like re-living it again... at least that's the feeling i get sometimes.. lots of memories..

bibilow: Not ugly bride-to-be! Don't worry. My hair colour is also fading off but I'm holding till nearer my wedding to dye it (i somehow get a bit of itchy scalp whenever hair dye comes into contact with it, so I try to minimise the dyeing processes). No worries about the video, seriously my videographer say this he cannot do that he cannot do, I feel like strangling him and ask so what are you capable of? Useless company. Feels like crap working with them. My ultimate most regrettable decision of my wedding and luckily or not, I have decided to cancel their services for actual day. Yes, I have seem my bridal album layout. Is is normal that the album doesn't give you the WOW effect? I don't feel wow-ed when I saw it... Looks pretty normal and standard. Haha, I was more amazed by individual photos when I saw them, or could it be that I have been looking too often at my photos that I expected more??

Thanks Rabber and Beegirl for your input on AD photographers.
Btw, as you know that photographers charge their fees per hour, when are guys asking them to start work? Is it from the beginning before the make up until the end of the wedding reception? somehow i thought make up will take very long so asking them to come half an hour after the make up is ok. I need some inputs on this. Thank you.
Hi Lemonzil, understand that your wedding is over so maybe you can advise me on this too? thanks

I'm trying out Roselyn MUA. You can do a google search and might be able to find her. I'm engaging her for my future MIL cos it might be too rushed for my MUA to rush over to their place cos ours is a morning church ceremony

Lemonzil: Wow.. Seems like their service is top notch. Think I will go check out the place when I bring my jie meis to City Plaza to select their bridesmaid dresses.
Haiz.. I hope I can relax too but on the other hand, I'm worried that he might be busy with work and not able to complete it on time. Really dun understand guys.. Why do they need to procrastinate till the last min before they start working. Ain't it better to get it over and done with?
Khanompang: Oh no.. Sorry to hear about your videographer but at least you know how he's like before your AD. At least you get to change him before he ruin your big day. Haha.. I also din get the "wow" effect. I thought the individual photos look better too.. But when I see other people album layout, I thought theirs look much better.
Beegirl: It's been a long time since I last saw you. How's everything? Any more new DIY to share with us?
Shining_bride: I'm planning to get my photographer and videographer to come at the same time as the MUA so that they can take the make up + the gate crash process. Am not sure if this is the norm or do I just need only the videographer to be at my place the same time as my MUA?

I also got my jiemie dress from city plaza!!
Perhaps he's feeling very confident on working on it that's why he doesn't see the need to rush it out. well, perhaps you can set some mini datelines for him to work within? E.g. layout by 2 weeks, input of text by end Sep etc.. ? that might help? Unless you're doing animation then that'll be a lot of hard work. My best friend's wedding is 3 weeks from today and she's still working on her montage... so take a breather!!

Finally went to get invitation cards done. Phew!! One task down!!
So happy with the cards
But inviting and RSVP is so annoying cause if one couldn't attend then have to re invite and try to slot in nicely for guests. Do u ladies feel the same here???
Anyway I think videographer & photographer can come at the same time or half an hour after our make up so that they can shoot half pretty face haha! They will also need time to get themselves prepared, based on bridesmaid experience

beegirl: I LOVE your invites! So nice! Wah, like some blockbuster movie ticket! I feel like wanting one too! Hahahaha I do agree, doing the invites for guests is the most headache part. You must ensure those sitting together won't quarrel, flip tables and fight. My fiance's uncles requested to sit on separate tables. They win.
