Hi Royal and mlh!
paiseh.i didn't login to check your replies!
sigh.i am damn stressed!

and Royal! i think i seen your gown before!champage gown right?!the first time that i went to jesline, i asked her to show me her workmanship for plus size gowns and she showed me your gown!she said that she sent alot of time and dedication doing your gown.
there were no beads on then but i saw you pictures recently on your muliply!its gorgeous!u look really good!

but i am so stressed lately sigh.especially when my bf is so skinny.

by the way, royal and mlh!your mtm gown from digio how is the daytime gown?and did you girls managed to get any gowns for outdoor shoots?

 

[mlh]

Cynderella,
Both my wedding gown & evening gown are MTM, same as Royal.
I managed to find the outdoor gowns for photoshooting, no worries, they will have your size cos i am bigger size than u neh...

 

[luvcyncyn]

hi MLH!
its good to know that have outdoor gowns for photoshooting!so worried that will not find any.and everyone has been stressing me to go diet.but i don't really want to.i like the way that i am.sigh.

maybe i should just realx more.lol

 

[mlh]

Cynderella,
when is your PS & AD?
DiGio can alter the gown to fit you, but the gown must be able to alter.
Sad to say, they have gowns for you but limited choice.
Yes, rest well & relax!!

Hi Royal, you can try daniel yan and there is another 1 at central square tampines lvl 2, selling tea dress kind, got sell the shawl you mentioned before in white but not cheap. The one i saw sometime back is in white with beads above $20 or $30.

Anyone has any idea of a 2D 1N getaway package? not too expensive one...travel period 6-8 dec

 

[taime81]

Hi Royal, where you got yrs is it expensive? You cansider batam, the last time my dad help me colleague to book quite cheap, less than $100 pax if not mistaken including meals. Or you can try genting.

 

[royal]

I got mine at isetan..6 dollars only..pashmere type..but ok, can go well with my dress..

Dun wan Genting leh..too crowded. Called desaru resorts all fully booked.
Now thinking of local hotel..but all so expensive..sigh!

 

[jengcc]

congrats jazz n ranger on ur wonderful wedding!!

royal, can go batam, i went n stay at harris complete with 3hrs spa/ massage super shiok n value for $$ think 200++/ couple inclu stay 1 meal/ massage/ 1 nite stay/ ferry tix..
can chk out five star travel for that

 

[mlh]

Royal,
i also suggest Batam.
Recently my brother went to Bintan, he said not worth going cos everything expensive there

 

[royal]

Ya..I am thinking of Batam too. Bintan is no no..cos both of us dun like it too..

 

[taime81]

Hi royal, if you wanna i can get it book for you directly from batam travel agency. Cheaper. Can get discount cause the agency belongs to my dad friend. The trip include tax and transport to tour around the island, bring tourist to massage etc. Remember to buy their kwek lapis. My colleagues love it to core, everytime i go need to buy 4-5 2kg cakes for them & mil.

I usually stay at the golden view hotel, family suite, very big with juccuzzi in the bathroom. LOL. Very nice, lobby got pool table, nice quiet pool.

Must try their seafood man next to the hotel. 933 Seafood. Fresh & cheap!

 

[royal]

Thanks, Charmaine,

Will check it out. Seems like we'll end up in Spore..sigh.. leave issue!

 

[jengcc]

royal, if u gonna end up in singapore go to sentosa, chk urself into siloso beach resort n get a room with the roof top jacuzzi..
relive some fun touring ard sentosa or u can jus stroll along the sandy beaches n watch sunset.

[taime81]

Hi Royal, there will be chances. Not to worry. Usually i go over the weekend. Hubby always think his leave are precious cause can encash. LOL...

[piyo21]

yuan, all mil are like that la. Juz endure loh. What to do
Me also having a lot of problems.
At first, me n my FH dont want to have any wedding dinner one. But my in laws insist of having cos they wanted to invite relatives. But ending up, most relatives are not in Spore, cannot attend.

So, end up i cant meet the minimum no of tables required. Then last sat, i was saying if know like that we should nt have dinner in the first place. Then, my mil say that she didnt insist us of holding dinner, buffet also can.

[bbbs]

hi gals,
i went to try my gown yd and i love it love it love it... i cannot escape my fate tt im fat.. but i think the gown is very sweet... it uses different kind of satins... and with a bustier tt has 6 fish bone inside to lengthen my body... it slit open like a empire cut.. and im wearing pants inside... with a long train. i think overall its sweet.. best.. no corset, no girdle for me and im very comfortable.. and no hot hot organza.. cuz my wedding is outdoor.. so in short, i love my gown

 

[missyling]

yuan, you gown sounded so lovely.. any pic to show? must be happy to have a prefect gown rite.

 

[bbbs]

yes. but the detailing work is not done yet.. still got beading and doing up the lace to enhance a slimmer effect... and i also request my sleeve to go shorter abt 1/3 more. Enjoy!!!
the pink bouquet will be my bridal flower tt day. theme: white and pink
oh. btw.. no corset and no girdle needed. yipeee!!!

[eternity321]

Hey gals

Can someone recommend some bridal shops that have a good range of plus size gowns?

I have been to these so far
1) Di Gio
2) Yvonne Creative
3) Satine
4) Santiago (aka @ Weddings) replace @ with Z

So far, most impressed with Di Gio WG collection and service as they let me try a few which all looks good but find their price quite steep.

Planning to check out The Aisle and White Weddings, Golden Horse too.. any comments on these?

 

[royal]

Hi Yuan,

your detailing n laces done up? that's a super fast service from your BS.
Show us your final pic leh!

eternity321, all the BS you mentioned here, i only know Digio and YC... Their gowns are nice... Prie steep..then u must negotiate for good deal.. get them to throw in more pics, freebies..etc...

 

[bbbs]

Royal,
oh.. yes.. im going to pick them up tmr...

will try to get my hubby to take photos

 

[myfavchoco]

wow... this week got 3 bride wedding sia.... royal, lingling and yuan....

woohooo

 

[peaberry]

Hi ladies, I'm a Nov 09 BTB and am looking around for a bridal studio too. Am currently a size 14 and am actively working out and eating right, so hopefully will be fitter by the time I have to step into my gown.

Am currently looking at Di Gio, Divine Couture and GHA; glad to read that many of you have good reviews of Di Gio. Has anyone had any experiences with Divine Couture? Thanks much ya!

 

[eternity321]

Hi Peaberry

I am a 2010 BTB. Have u been down to any BS already? Care to share experiences?

 

[royal]

Ranger,

ya..3 weddings! excited n scared! Hope I dun fall down flat on my face!

Ytd was at my BS, Digio saw quite a few plus size gown...think they have increase their collections.

 

[taime81]

Hi Royal,

Wow that is good news. LOL...going in apr - may to find my grown @ digio.

Hi Peaberry & eternity, personally i feel that sign earlier is cheaper. I got quite a good deal for my bridal, pg & vg, and hotel banquet.
