Advice on where to get materials for DIY bridal crafts

[kovankitty]

Anyone knows where I can get materials such as tulle (something like organza ribbons), beautiful flowers?

Would like to DIY bridal car deco, and need lots of tulle type material.

Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks in advance!

hi there.....u can try spotlight @ PS or concourse where they sell wholesale stuff.....=)

Other than Spotlight, where else?

I heard about Arab Street, but which shop exactly? I thought shops in Arab Street sell mostly fabrics (eg. silk, lace etc). Do they also sell flowers?

Compared to Concourse, which is better?

i think spot light is rather expensive.
i know arab street is cheap but they are selling in bulk. unless you need a large quantity and you are around arab street (working or staying near there), i dun see the need to go to arab street.
i rather pay a bit more for the convenience at concourse or golden dragon at chinatown.

Here's a few places u can go:

1. Spotlight @ Plaza Sing
2. Kin Soon Company @ Arab Street for ribbons and roses (sells ribbons by rolls)
3. Golden Dragon @ Chinatown
4. People's Park Center (there are haberdashers above the hawker center that u can check out. There is this little shop next to this Lai Nai Siong haberdesher that sells very pretty ribbons)

Yes Arab Street is cheap I feel...

Flowers try PollyAnna... my aunt says they are cheap and provide for Robinsons and other top end dept stores.

Just for fun, here are my own DIY stuff for my wedding in Feb 08:

hi mel,

if you do not need to keep the bears, then use glue gun, sure very secure..

 

[monkie]

i am using 3M velcro.

Hi Mel,

You can secure your bear using the fishing string (transparent ones where they use this to tie the beads together) tie to the bear leg and poke a hole at the box to go thru and tie it below the box

Hi I have 4 silver-looking trays to sell.
Interested party please email [email protected]
Its $20 each only!
Its made of plastic I think (so its light) but very shiny like the real thing.
Each tray comes with a stand (looks like a bowl that you put underneath the tray)
Instant glamour!
