(2016) 2016 brides

Hello BTBs,

Anyone signed up actual day photography already? Did you guys have videography as well?

Am pondering whether to get videographer......

I signed up AD PG with Awesome Memories and VG with Alan Mitchii.

I decided to get a VG as I wanted to record down the memories of the gate crashing, tea ceremony and the ROM. :)

hi, i bought my bridal shoe/sandles/slippers (Dunno what you call those, but it its not fully covered, so the toes are exposed.. haha). but my feet is in a mess since i did tkd last time (barefooted) and running (so it's probably full of calluses, black toe nails and blisters). Sorry if it sounds disgusting to the ladies here (i'm the total opposite of being lady-like).

BUT, i'm intending to do maybe at least 1 pedicure before wedding (at least maybe i should paint black for all my nails to hide the black toe nails haha). Anyone knows if there's any place to do it at an affordable pricing (and at least the person won't be disgusted at my worn out feet)?

Many thanks in advanced! :)

hey, thanks again for the introduction! i tried customising an invite using paperlesspost last night :):) really quite convenient to use, except the resolution isn't great.. :( is there a way i can get better resolution invites/pics from there?

i will be using google form to create save the date invite. u can send the url after creating a form to ur friends via watsapp or email. They just click on the link and submit their responses. An excel spreadsheet will be created to record the submission.

I've topped up for AD PG at my BS :)
Will be engaging external videographer though. I've placed a deposit with Alvin form Iriswave. Met up w him previously, and he seems like a really friendly and sincere man. :) Both my fiance and I like his works too.
 
anyone has experience with going down to the bridal studios to look for (AD) gowns individually before signing any packages?..

I also went t the tanjong pagar stretch last week. Went into Rico cuz they are the first shop. Tried on about 4 gowns and basically the styles tht I like + they suggested I try one which I didn't like in the end. But they were all helpful and friendly. Aft which they explained the two packages and we decided to sign with them. Didn't manage to check out the other studios haha.

I was there too. Which ballroom did you take? Mind sharing the package? What are the perks?

Initially took the collyer ballroom, but was given the choice to take Padang ballroom. I took the $1238++ package. Given 2 nights for bridal suite + breakfast. Helper room 1 night . 6 dozens of butler pass canapés. You?

My mother wants so im thinking of getting.. Considering between ********************** ($388) and wow magic ($488 for MC + photobooth)...
Your mum is so happening! My mum says waste $$. Keke personally i think it is good to engage so the guests have something to keep them busy. Sgd 388 is very cheap!! I have done a some comparisons with some coys and alot are charging from sgd 600 to sgd 800 depending on quality of paper etc

Not too bad on your perks. The person who served us is not the wedding planner thus we will probably email the person again to check it out. We like the last ballroom we saw. I cannt remember the name of the ballroom bt i took a picture of it. Also, Their dishes look good.

I used David Tong.. my fiance researched and said that he is quite reliable and cos the others need to wait for the tong shu which David Tong says is not really accurate..

I'm at BTB in Oct 2016.. still sourcing for venue within budget.. there's a novotel show this weekend and a MBS one..

I'm BTB in oct 2016 too! Went to sign banquet last Sunday at Fairmont And Swissotel the Stamford.

Yup, going to have AD PG and VG 6 hours (fr morning till lunch banquet reception) - total cost :$2500 (Back Alley Creations)

for the lunch banquet, going to have just a roving photog (table shots + shooting key events such as march in) + photo booth (unlimited prints for photobooth and roving photos)- $1100 (Pink Man photography)

hi there just checking. for the table shots shouldn't it be inclusive with Back alley?
 
i'm just wondering if it's a little too early to sign up for bridal package with the studio since my AD is in dec next year. I do not need the pre wedding. What happens if there is new collection of designs by next year?

You can actually start sourcing now..when it's nearer to your wedding then go down try gown so usually try the latest design too..

What are the props that you bought? Can show the pictures or send to me?

Which BS in JB ? Yes i was told there is No MUA provided on actual day so i am thinking of engaging a SG one..the rate is around SGD 380-500 for 1 make up..Is this very normal? or we can get a much cheaper one?

I can share with you my photos when they are ready in Nov. We brought in quite a few things to match the theme we wanted, so it depends on what style u r going for. Good to do some research online too before u take ur pre wedding photoshoot.

I signed up with Dawn's Wedding @ JB City Sq. I didn't do much research on SG MUA but the one I'm engaging gonna cost more than $500 hehe

From what I know, it's better for you to give them 6 months to book. Bcos you need to book the appt to take photos and for them to edit and develop your photos into album.

any recommendations on gowns from Taobao?

i saw a knee length white gown at bugis over the weekend and thought it's quite pretty.. $130. thinking of getting it for my ROM this year, so that i don't have to rush to decide and sign for an AD BS package in order to get a free rental of ROM gown :/

No Wonder. You are lucky!! We wanted the center aisle but the person said cannot.

6 months so long? How about the selection of gowns? It only take 1 day right?
