Did you select the contemporary or tradtional card? For Indoor shoots u can try Arab street. They have colourful shophouses.

Long time no see dapxy! You are so efficient... which printer did you go to? Mine is T dragon. Oh yes how many tables you having at the Grand Marquee? It sounds very exciting!
Hello Eiko, just came back from overseas. We are collecting the cards tomorrow from T-Dragon. We are having 25 tables!

Just curious, how many of you are having your solemnization on the same day? I'm thinking if I should do it earlier in May or to do everything together on AD. Any thoughts?

Hi Eiko! I did my outdoor shoot @ Botanic gardens, national museum and marina barrage. Will be selecting my photos in April, I guess.

All the best for your shoot, I have done a list of items to bring, you can check it out: http://petitefreckles.blogspot.sg/2015/02/pre-wedding-photography-session.html Hope will be useful for you :)

Thanks Chubchubs and we have the same bridal for pre wed shoot and the blue gown you chose...is it for your actual day too? I chose it for my pre wed shoot too OMG.

By the way when is your actual day? Maybe can update the brides listing :)

I'm doing my solemnization earlier in June, my SO feels that it is too rushed to do everything together on the same day.

Haven't feel the stress since there is 3 months plus to go but feels like that is alot of things that we have not done yet. Would only be choosing my gowns and doing my wedding shoot next week too, praying for good weather too. Hopefully it will turn out alright, I get rather tense when it comes to phototaking. We haven't meet up with the banquet coordinator in the hotel yet or do the printing of my wedding cards.

You all are fast, feeling so pressure to get things done now lol.

Hi Eiko, anecdote video is like a video about the couple, talking about how they met, what they think of each other, future plans etc. It can be anything! Like someone "interviewing" you about your relationship but in a candid informal way. It will be a 3hrs video + photoshoot. The video will also incorporate the pictures taken during filming. Something more interpersonal. We watched some of the anecdote videos done by previous couples and were quite keen to do it. A nice video to show your kids next time! As for the photo montage, we were just thinking of putting together our photos in a slide show and flash them before the commencement of dinner and in between when there is nothing going on during dinner. Not sure about this yet. Hmmm

Just did my pre wedding shoot ytd! It was unexpectedly fun (^^,) ! I had 1 for indoor, another 1 for outdoor.

That's great. My pre-wedding shoot last week drained me out, I caught a flu too but I'm really glad that it is over.

Have you girls started giving out invitation cards?

Nah, 9hrs including make-up thankfully. I went to Labrador park and Kent ridge park only. Didn't want to visit anymore places after that.

Not yet, I haven't even get my invitation cards from the hotel.

Yep, I have to get in touch with the hotel printer, Jasvy too. Haven't done it.

So many nitty gritty details that have been procrastinated for a long while. Need to go shopping for GDL stuff and Qipao for tea ceremony too, GSS is coming.

Hello ladies,

Anyone has suggestions for car rental companies or are u renting?

We need to rent two cars - one for ourselves and the other for the brothers. Haven't been actively looking around. Not fussy on the type of car.

Please let me know.

Cheers

I'm not renting but there are some car rental companies like carclub where you can rent for flat fee for whole day, just that you need to fetch the car and return to the location, but maybe can rent for 24hrs with flat fee?

My bridal studio do have kuas but my SO isn't impressed by it thus he suggested that we look out for a nicer one to wear. The qipao can be used for other occasions after the wedding though honestly, I don't think I would want to wear it much again. Went sourcing for qipao and they are not cheap, I am rather conflicted if I should get one just for the tea ceremony.

Anyone have checked the price for Hotel fort canning Grand Marquee? Or talked to them already? It looks lovely at night but being an outdoor venue, it's usually quite costly?

I'm choosing my wedding venue and came across this grand marquee wedding showcase happening on 19th April. But i've read the past package prices somewhere online... just wondering is it advisable to have luncheon with Air con (+5k) or dinner without aircon since it's cooling at night. Not sure if there's strong fans for guests though.

Yes qipaos are not cheap, usually a few hundred. Does your bridal studio have tea dress or short gown for tea ceremony?

I went down to choose too. I'm torn between a traditional red and a pink one. They will give me my layout next week. Is your insert printing provided by hotel?

the insert printing is by T-dragon if I understood ur qn correctly. I have a concern cus the insert wld easily drop out frm the card, and I'm thinking if shld glue/double side tape them or not

I'm feeling plenty of nervousness as I feel alot of things are not done what a challenge to stay calm!
