hi plasterbride,

personally i find it alright. As long as both families dont mind, i dont see why cant you do it to save time.

even though my parents are really not the traditional type, my mum for some reason still insists that it shld be done the usual way - after ceremony couple serves tea at the hubby's side, then changes clothes and serves tea at the bride's side. strange... heh. even tho personally i don't even really care about the tea ceremony. maybe we are too modern in our thinking already :D

is it a must for the bride to change into 'kua' when we return to her parents' place for tea ceremony? (after 1st tea ceremony at groom's place).. our wedding will be a church reception after early morning tea ceremony.

or is this a specific dialect group customs only?
(btw, we're both teochew)

Thanks.

Hi all.

I will be having my solemnisation ceremony just before my dinner on the AD. I was thinking of having the tea ceremony (for both bride and groom's family) right after the solemnisation in the hotel's function room. So, in this case, how would my schedule be? I am alil confused.

Anybody who's having similar arrangements as me?

hi sherley,

i will be having the same arrangement with you. planning the solemnisation at 6pm and tea ceremony to commence right after around 6.30-6.45pm.

Hi mintz,

Glad to know someone who's having the same arrangements. So, what are u going to do after the groom fetched you from your place to his, since the tea ceremony for both sides are to be done in the evening??

actually mine is an even more simplified version. after the fetching, we will head to a nearby nature reserve park for a quick photoshoot and back to my place for catered lunch. after that we will go to the hotel to prepare for the evening.

my initial plan was to proceed straight to the hotel right after the fetching. but overspent on my bridal stuffs and no more budget to host lunch at the hotel for my entire group =p

it will be an early start to the evening so you will appreciate the rest in between.

I was thinking through and got some ideas from your arrangement. Probably, aft fetching me to the groom's house, we (together with the bridal party) will go somewhr to take some photos... then we'll proceed back to the hotel for lunch (Mine's at Mandarin Oriental so prob hv lunch at Marina Sq) before returning to the bridal suite at the hotel...
Seems workable to me at the moment...

Hi Mintz..
what;s ur AD? So glad to hear someone holding the dinner at the same venue.. U decided on the theme yet?

mine's exactly one month from today! likely to go for the love theme with some chance in the flower colours.

who is your coordinator?
 

girlstuff

New Member
Yes, i do love the LOVE theme too... also thinking of changing the flower to something more pastel instead of like champagne white which i think is the original colour. Dunno whether can do like light purple or something.... I hv not decided..

My co-ord is Bethany. How abt u?
Pls show me the dinner photos ? would love to see the setting if u decide to change the flower colours =)
 

mintz0309

New Member
think the yam rose can go with love theme too. =) i'm going for red roses for the the bridal tables, should be keeping the original colour for the guest tables.

my coordinator is mark. you have multiply? can add me at mintz0309, will be uploading my photos there.
 

girlstuff

New Member
Mintz, your photos are awesome! I love the setting u chose for the bridal table. The centrepiece chosen was supposed to be from Happiness theme is it? The red roses match the setting very well and i think it makes the bridal table stands out even more =)

hey girlstuff, met up with mark over the weekend and confirmed the red roses for bridal/vip tables and ivory roses for guest tables. and nope, the floral arrangement is the usual one for love theme except for the flower colour.
 

girlstuff

New Member
I see... the red roses remind me of the happiness theme.

My dinner still a long way ahead so i'll still have time to think abt it.

Arent u excited? Ur wedding is just a few more weeks away. Who is ur AD MUA? I need to source for a few MUAs for myself, mum, MIL and sisters.. Think i need 2 MUAs at least...

Help!
my MIL say i have to enter the house by 6.30am.
But that is too early... can i enter the house by 6.30am, then leave the house again for PhotoShooting, after which come back again for the tea ceremony?? is it OK to wear WG and enter the house twice??

shirley> 6.30am is early
happy.gif
is it because ur MIL is teochew? or u consult a master for the timing ??
happy.gif


what i ustd is that the couple is to enter the hse, then proceed for tea ceremony, then light up the bedside lamps, then bride to change to tea-dress/KUA/cheongsam/another outfit, then go back to bride's family for tea ceremony...

u can do ur photoshoot after the groom's tea ceremony bef changing back to tea-dress & after your side tea ceremony

i never heard of any bride wearing WG and enter the hse twice...

Great!! I just open a thread something similar to your case...

Am a Teochew while my HTB is a Hakka and I have to reach his place before 7am. The problem now is ppl will go through the ceremony after that but his relatives don't or perhaps not willingly to arrive so early for the tea ceremony? PIL set a time for tea ceremony at 9am which the photo-videographer will have to wait for 2 hrs.

Can I step in his hs before the auspicious time and step out for outdoor shoots then return to his place for tea ceremony or I have to stay at his hs till tea ceremony finish?

Hi Fericia,

I understand from my MIL, that i can do so.
Cos the most impt timing is the time when i stepped in and do the praying.

i didn't wanna waste the time to wait for relative to arrive, thus i also ask if i can go out to do PS for about 2hrs den go back to hubby place for tea ceremony again..

Most of them say OK, but its just that i haven't seen ppl doing so .. that y asking...

when is ur wedding??
u also got to be so early arh??
 

diamondfericia

New Member
I think I will be doing the same as well, don't wanna waste the time.

My AD is on Nov 21 and yes, I have to wake up at 3.30am. I hope am able to wake up or I think I will be able to slp also...

When is your AD?

shirley_jeffrey

New Member

Only after which i can go out to take PS (like that den consider i am "inside" the house liao...

after that i go take PS for about 2hrs...

hi joanne, can ask the groom to drive around before reach ur house. i think can have both side tea ceremony at one place , and i plan to do so.

Hi Joanne, I'm planning to do a combined tea ceremony, too! The plan is to have the tea ceremony just before the cocktail around 5-6pm, at or near to the dinner venue (convenient for couple), then proceed to cocktail right after. If your suite is big enough, you can do it there!

In this way, both families dont have to make a trip during the day to the couple parents' place to drink the tea. The good thing is, you dont have to travel back and forth

What do you think?

So now plan will be serve tea to parents only respectively at our house, and will invite all guests to restaurant and have tea ceremony for relatives there and directly starts lunch after finish serving tea.

Humm just that both houses won't be so merry since everyone will straight go to restaurant...hehe so I suppose my Video scene for home will seems funny
