Thanks for your sharing, lovely brides !!

I saw alot wrote Long Shi Fu. Where can i get this Long Shi Fu contact details? How long beforehand do i need to contact him?

Also, the price SGD 120 covers for AD wedding date, An Chuan and Guo Da li?

I would like to ask if the Date of Birthday for the bride and groom together with parents i assumed would be Chinese Bithhdates?

Is An Chuan a must for all?
Click to expand...

His number 90675008
$120nett imcludes the good dates for you and your partner which includes all the guodali and an chuang dates.

Eng birthday will do for bride and groom. Parents just the year of birth will do. :)

Hi fellow btbs!

My future in laws has invited my parents for 提亲, but my parents are confused what is to be discussed on this day. Future in laws cant give me a straight answer. Can anyone help?

Any wedding bands suggestions? There are few popular brands now..Michael Trio, Love & Co, Bvlgari etc

In the past , the trends are Soo Kee Brilliant rose, lee hwa, tiffany etc

How long beforehand do you guys get your wedding bands? Before ROM 1 or 2 months before?

Fairy's inc! They have really pretty rings. Or ling jewellery.

A few months before AD would be good. Think the shops need at least 1-2 months make the rings.

Seems like Rico has quite good reviews! May I know how's ur package inclusions and price like? I'm heading down to check out the tanjong pagar stretch this weekend *excited* any bridal studios are "must-avoids"?

Actually went last week to silhouette the atelier. The gown selection doesn't seem a lot, but I like the first one I saw and tried though friends told me I should shop more and might find sth I like even more. And... Their package is quite expensive :(

Actually I didn't really try any other bridal shop. Apart from rico, I only went to the gown warehouse and bridal affairs which are more budget options. And I took Rico's AD package without photoshoot so quite ex. If u need it, maybe u can pm me your email add.

Some shops have certain styles also so it depends on what you like. Like I think cangai's gowns are the more princessy Taiwan style type which is not my cup of tea.

Rico ones are more timeless and elegant.

Feline seems to have some flamboyant gowns.

Can email me Rico's ad package? Thanks! [email protected]
 
I also don't know what to do for my wedding dresses. I have a couple of dresses that I saved on my pinterest that I really like. I'm thinking either I tailor make them or do you think i can go to the bridal shops and shown them the designs to see if they have something similar?

Can I also just walk down the tanjong pagar stretch on a weekend and talk to the shops? I read some reviews, some shops only allow you to try their gowns after you sign with them? Is it possible I walk into the shops to try the gowns first before deciding on anything?

Thanks! :)
 
kinkedtail said:
To be honest I had a difficult time choosing esp the evening gown , maybe I am too picky. I felt all the gowns I tried were wow when I first went there (before signing) but not so when I was actually trying to choose.

Then again, I'm not very thin so some gowns like the very slim cut sleeveless type are not suitable (did see some girls try on those and they r really gorgeous), nor do I like princessy ball gowns.

That said, Im quite happy with my chosen gowns and did find a few I really liked. My chosen ones are really simple though so I feel it's abit wasted (gown rental places prob have the same design). But most importantly I think they are very flattering and make me look two sizes smaller haha!

Rico does have quite a wide range of diff types of white gowns, so best to go down to see and try esp if you already have some design in mind.

I found the evening gown range not great because I didn't want colours like yellow purple pink etc. which restricted my choices. initially wanted a red gown but didn't find one that I like (and could fit).
Click to expand...

I'm a 2015 bride crashing this thread because when I read your post I wondered if I wrote it without knowing! I had the exact same experience at Rico's sister brand Digio.

I tried about 5 white gowns of different cuts before signing and they were all great, but for PS and AD I ended up with mostly ball gowns because the they had a really limited selection for the other cuts in my size, especially for coloured gowns. I really wanted a sexier sort of evening gown, maybe sheer back or fitted all the way, which they in fact have plenty of in sizes S and M. I'm an L, not even exceptionally big. I felt like I tried almost every white and coloured gown in the 8 hours I was there, and what I chose for AD in the end were gowns brought in after our dinner break, which I suspect were from Rico.

Well, they ended up to be very unadventurous choices compared to what I initially desired but at least I look good in them. Will hafta compromise if you don't wanna pay for MTM.

i'm also looking for some "checklist" on what to discuss.. haha.
i guess like ping jing? guo da li stuff? i guess there's really no checklist, it depends on what the parents want to arrange..

i'm doing my solemnisation this year. and banquet next year.
logically, 提亲 should be before solemnisation right?..

Yes please try some gowns before you decide to sign with them.. To be honest, I did a few research on BS before I signed on mine. There was one BS, which was totally absurd. Met them at the road show and all they kept telling me was about the price price price and how their package and dresses is great great great. I got fed up and just walked off. I think a few things to note;

1) walk into the stores and see how the sales people approach
2) ask to try gowns, or at the very very least- see what selection is there 3) if you like then talk about package. Very important to confirm what dress selection is included in your package. My friend's colleague had to sign another package cause the package she signed had very very limited gowns. Best part- when signing they said all gown. Tried to go to case but failed cause there was no evidence. So - if ya BS said that all range included, best to have it in writing :)
4) check on price for MTM price
5) nego for more perks- more photos. Jie Mei clothes, parents/in law suits etc etc

Hope this helps!

thanks for the tips, this really helps :) agree esp that looking at the actual gowns to know the general style / feel is impt. and everything must be in black & white.
 
Thank you for the suggestions Jiejieningning and Kinkedtail!

Fairy Inc and Jaanpaul are totally new to me. I have heard about Ling jewellery as well. Will check it out.

M also wondering if need to buy 1 year before ..what is next year new designs are out? haha then feel wasted right??

How much roughly does a set of ring cost? Both usually will get same designs right? These days people will choose rose gold? or silver much better?
 
Btw, what is the difference between David Tong and Long shi fu?

Is David Tong more expensive or? Do they both have shops in Singapore?

Anyone has David Tong contact to share? :) How do we decide which one to choose? Or it is the same as depending on their availability?

David tong is a younger master and if i rmb correctly he gives 3 sets of dates.

Long shi fu is a old man and gives 3 years worth of dates for $120 nett which can also be use for an chuang and guo da li.
I was also considering between two of them and decided to go ahead with long shifu as i feel more comfortable seeking advice from an older person and since i'll be getting more dates from him. More worth it! Haha.

Longshifu office is at his own house at woodlands. His house is huge.
 
okie now i know.. haha 3 sets of dates in the same year?

Anyone can provide David Tong contact?

Jiang hai shi lao de la!!! keke
 
Hi all,

I'm new here and I'm also a 2016 bride!

I went to Long Shifu's house for the wedding dates. He's quite fatherly and best thing is he will provide 3 years auspicious dates for you and your fiance! I think it is good as you can give yourself more time to plan your wedding.

JannPaul is side by side with House of Hung. JannPaul actually specialises in the engagement rings, while House of Hung (the father's shop) specialises in all other jewelry. they are at far east shopping centre, beside wheelock, first floor you wont miss it :)

i bought my rings from Jann Paul (aka house of hung) and $2.7 for a pair.. for my ring is just a half round eternity, then for my fiance's is a white and rose gold mix.. how expensive the ring is depends on the weight actually.. in terms of colours, i think it is really up to you, whether rose gold, white gold or yellow gold :)

for design, me and my fiance just chose whatever we like.. we feel that at the end of of the day, we are the ones wearing the ring.. so buy something we both like.. rather than having a pair but not our number 1 option.. so me and him.. our rings not match :)

New may not be better. I feel it's more important to go for timeless because we will be wearing them for very long. Since you have time, perhaps just research for inspiration first?

Personally feel rose gold is not nice for guy, cos it's pinkish gold. My bf initially wanted rose gold but just didn't seem nice on a guy.

Not necc to get the same design, ya just get what you like, and maybe include one same detail to link it together. Ours are both rose gold on the sides only but design wise completely diff.

Fairys inc is a little on the pricier side. My own ring is already 2.2k. Bfs one maybe 1.5k, can't really rem. but nice! But yes, price depends on what u r looking for eg number of diamonds, thickness.

Maybe u can also try venus tears. They have super a lot of choices.

Hello! Yes wow so similar experience!! Totally feel you on on the last para. Haha. But I must say the gowns I chose in the end are really really flattering. Just totally different from my Pinterest board.

Actually I usually wear an M size just that my hips r bigger. I did manage to try quite a few just that some of the trumpet gowns were too small. I realise a lot of girls r small though, like uk6. Judging from the gowns ppl are selling.

Btw who was your makeup artist? Any feedback? I wear very minimal makeup usually so I want something really natural for AD. Otherwise it will be so strange!

Hmm I don't think the two brands share the MUAs, so I can't recommend. But I'm not getting the studio's to do my AD because I can't afford any delay since mine is lunch. She was taking too long for comfort for my PS. I'm paying extra to get an external one.

mine is also on xmas eve =). initially wanted to have it in sept but my shortlisted banquet venue is almost fully book so have to push my wedding dinner backwards.

Wheres ur venue? I wanted year end, and master tong gave us Christmas Eve as one of the auspicious date!
 
Hi ladies!

New here, also planning my wedding in nov 16. Can I get some advice pls.. Seems like tong Shu is not out yet. So how did master tong help you all to calculate the auspicious date for wedding? Did he consider the zodiac of parents??

He based it on bazi. He will ask for your zodiac signs and give you dates based on the range you want. I had 8 dates from him as the time frame I gave him was the whole hear of 2016.. and he will rank which of the dates are 1,2 or 3 and which dates clashes with what animals. But the dates given will definitely not clash with you and your fiance, your parents and fiance parents.

He is very friendly and will also provide you an chuan and guo da Li dates nearer the date once you confirm which date you want..

Thank you for the advice! I calculated my dates with another master but he didn't ask me about our parents' zodiac and say it's not necessary. Hmm, maybe I'll check with him again!

Oh mines going to be lunch too! But dun really want to spend more money ha. I did get an external MUA for my photoshoot, so I was thinking if I like it, just show the studios one a pic and ask her to replicate.
 
Thanks for the information. So far, i have only booked for bridal package in JB as my frds said JB is much cheaper.
Any ideas for photoshoot location in JB?
My bridal package says they do not include AD make up which means i need to resource for that.
Usually how long before do we need to take our shoot before the actual day wedding? When are you guys going to take the shoots?
Do you buy own props to go with it?
 
For the wedding band perhaps i should wait till next year before the actual day but then again will they increase the price?
LV and Chanel increased prices yearly, how about wedding bands? keke
 
Andes said:
I have booked a bridal studio package so there is an AD makeup trial. Asked the consultant and she said typically people do not need trial for pre-wedding photoshoot bc the makeup is much more dramatic and thicker (if thats the right word to use).
I suppose that means the makeup will turn out nicer on photos than in person haha

I havent tried airbrush, but I have heard good reviews from everyone who tried!
Click to expand...


I have a trial makeup by the BS. Do brides used it before pre-wedding shoots or before AD?
 
hidamari said:
Does any brides have any good recommendations for makeup ampoule ? I need it for both photoshoot and AD. BS is selling at 30 per vial

Anyone bought from http://beautyaurora.com/Commerce/
Found this in one of the topics. Seems to have many good reviews. Anyone interested to share?
Click to expand...

I got mine from qoo10. MUA used 1 vial for myself and 1 for my HTB. She never comment on the quality.. so i guess should be ok.. haaa... and it's super cheap. But do try any ampoules u buy before u use it for PS or AD in case u r sensitive or allergic.
