Thanks all for the advise. :)
So far both side parents are not so particular about the "100 day/after 3yrs" rule.

Anyway, I just bought the Style weddings mag too. So many lovely gowns!

if the proposal ring is something I like, I intend to "propose" back to my boyfriend with wedding bands. so is okay to spend up to 7-8k for a pair of cartier wedding bands. considering that we might be wearing it forever, haha, can splurge abit.

after hearing all of the ladies here buying style wedding, i finally get 1 copy too. had flipped a few pages and love all lovely gowns, i hope to have an idea on what kind of gown i like and ask my bridal if they hv similar~ ... its so thick to digest.. shall read it when i have time during weekend~ <3<3<3

i think i will budget it below 3K for a pair and most probably custom made too.
i think we shouldn't compare with others , just buy within ur budget. I think more diamonds more exp , also depending of the branding... :)

Yes, I got some ideas of how I would like my gown to be after flipping through too!
The magazine is really thick (since it's meant for until Feb 2014 haha), good for weekend reading :)

Yah I agree that nothing can be compared to style weddings! More tips and info for me to digest! And I recently stumbled upon The Wedding Accolade! Looks like we will be having like Superbrands kind of recognition only that this one seems to be specially created for wedding services! How thoughtful!

Haha!! I wonder how many "first nth" participants they contacted!
Honestly, $400 discount isn't enticing at all..
What's more the 2-week period turns me off totally. Where's the "sincerity"?
People who took part in the contest apparently expect the results to be out next year Mar, meaning their wedding is most likely end 2014 to 2015 mah. So early make appointment for what right.

//Wasted my 32cents, lol!

So glad to find 2015 BTBs here! I thought I was too kiasu to start preparing for 1st quarter of 2015. I know I have a lot of matters that I have to take care of and I have absolutely no idea where to start. So I thought, how bout the banquet first as it is gonna be the most expensive item on the checklist. After reading all 5 pages, I felt I have learnt something from everyone here. Seems like I'm a little late only to start preparations now =( U guys are so pro!

Have yet to plan the date yet but end 2014/early 2015, around the same timing of our house.

My bf is very passive one, everything also I need to push. How do I sound it out to him how much budget he is allocating for my proposal ring ah? Hehe, so I can plan what to get too.

We are doing a lunch banquet, less hassle and not so expensive.

Start by showing him diamond ring designs you like? If he cant afford he will say out?

I agree that you should start by showing him the designs that you like.

Before my bf proposed, when we were talking about our future or when I happen to see a proposal ring ad, I will lightly say 'next time if you want to get me a proposal ring, I want the Tiffany & Co.'s 6 prong design proposal ring of at least 1 carat huh." Hehe.

I'm planning to get married in 2015 too (that is when our house will be ready). Haven't set the date yet. I think my bf and I are too chill. Our plan is to just have a wedding reception (wedding lunch) with our family and close friends.

Do you ladies think it is too early to start booking for bridal shops and pre-wedding and AD photography?

I jokingly asked him before that I wanted a $10K ring ok, he said ok ok. Hahaha. :D
But of course I won't ask him to splurge so much lar. Ring plus wedding bands should be kept below $10K budget for us ba.

It is never too early! The earlier you book, especially during promotion period, the cheaper you can secure the deals. I made a deposit for my overseas pre-wedding package last year already as it was having a very good deal!

Start showing him photos of friends' DR? I did that, coz friends around us are all getting engaged one by one... Easy!
Then start "wondering" how a DR will look on your finger... And casually suggest going to try some over the weekend! Giggles.

Welcome to 2015 Brides thread. :)
Where did you sign your package from?

You mean AD PG? Got quite a few famous ones but not sure of their package. Can try LightedPixels, One Eye Click, Multifolds, Mojoideas.

the prices are pretty standard. usually fairs have great deals with more perks and freebies rather than being carrot chopped.

They don't dare carrot lar. If you find it expensive, walk away. You can do research by reading the forums~

anyway if you are looking for 2015 rates, it should be a plus 50 to 100++ as now the prices should all be catered for 2014.
 

leess18

Yup agree with lemonzil.

And also dependent on which quarter of 2015 you are looking at, they might not take in the requests yet and also they might not be able to accept even if you raise it by 50-100. But all these varies by hotels and venues.

So most importantly is to settle the number of tables that you need first. Then you can shortlist from there.

Have fun sourcing!
