Hi all, i'm back from my gown selection today..it was a wonderful &amp; yet tiring experience

CH, wow urs 10th storey..that's fast hehe...omg, i'm not sure if its a gd thing for me

Mrs Ng, 1 album is more than enough &amp; i guess most of our photo album will end up in the store room after wedding hehe. The CNY mood is coming hee we shld deserve a break &amp; then start our engine again aft that

JoSky, I intend to discuss on customary stuffs with both parents after CNY

Both side nt cooperative?..may be can arrange a lunch/dinner session together to discuss since urs is already 5mths away, better to sort things out soon. I think most headache will be the guest list &amp; table sitting.

 

[joskyhuang]

CH > nope haven collect invitation cards cos in-laws side suddenly have hugh increase in guest no yet cannot confirm till now. tat's y quite headache. hai~

michi > wow must b fun session today! so how many gown u haf for PS?

wow.. is a v nice experience to select gowns for PS.. 3mths ago, we too selected 6 gowns for photoshooting in TW.. so fun.the taking photo day is even mre fun for us, in TW.. haha.. is nt tiring at all for us, as many other couples commented..

wow, yosky, so u suddenly hv huge increase in guest.. so u initially book amara for hw many tables?? then after increase, izit still within 43 tables?? tink amara max is 43 tables..

we book with 35 tables.. bt tink, sure will increase 1..

 

[michi]

JoSky, I've selected 8 gowns for my PS, its only gown selection ystr &amp; yet i'm already feeling very tired &amp; body aching haha

CH, sure ur PS is more fun coz is in Taiwan mah, so shiok still can shop &amp; eat hee, i'm looking forward to mine next wk

 

[sept_09_bride]

Finally my PS is over, looking forward to view the photos after CNY. It was a tiring, memorable &amp; adventurous 2 days shoot in JB

 

[shannat]

MC Queen: u took up which bridal in JB? was it a continuous 2 days (stay overnight) or seperate one??

 

[sept_09_bride]

wow.. is nice to go for photoshooting leh.. we nv find it tiring leh.. haha. in fact, we enjoy every bit of it..haha..

 

[michi]

Shanna, i'm with SG bridal..thumbs up for their service. Yes i stayed over at hotel &amp; continued my shoot the next day

It was quite fun but due to my skin allergy prob, i felt very itchy &amp; uncomfortable during the outdoor shoot at waterfall &amp; turf club...quite tough for me, i think -_-

 

[sept_09_bride]

Michi>> poor gal.. so ur skin gots allergy due to the cosmetic they use huh?? so any reddish not?? so nice can hv shootings for 2 days.. if only we hv ours 2 days in taiwan too.. hw nice..hehe.

[michi]

Thank CH, i'm allergy to dust, air &amp; humid weather..Think the waterfall is nt clean &amp; the grass makes me my skin itch, red &amp; swollen. So nw i may need a few more wks to recover.

Hehe i've a few pics on my fb..u saw? I dun intend to upload all pics to fb before AD. Once its ready, i'll show u my blog k.. Ur pics are so nice &amp; gorgeous lor..hope mine will be so gd as well

 

[shannat]

MC Queen: thats nice, i am deciding btw SG bridal, fables n Venus, so far more keen on fables though. hehe. but i will go take a look at Sg bridal too!

my skin is also abit sensitive, esp to dirt n dust! always end up blotchy n reddish if its too dusty!! hope u GWS!!

mc_queen>> u look good..

 

[michi]

Thanks CH, i've more to show u

Josky, luv ur gowns &amp; the outdoor location..i luv HK!

Hmm..nw i realised something, hehe this thread looks more like a bridal boutique thread rather than talking about our banquet...oopps

 

[joskyhuang]

michi> thks! =)

hehe, maybe cos we just finish PS not too long ago. when nearer AD we'll start talking abt ballroom deco etc again bah. ;-)

talking abt banquet... such a pity tat they dun haf the bubbles entrance... prefer tat den the cold ice smoke entrance leh...

 

[shannat]

keke, im gg to visit the JB bridals after CNY~ they r having a roadshow there i think.

 

[sept_09_bride]

josky,.. juz added u yest.. i hvnt got chance to see ur pics.. will see them tonite..hehe..

me too love HK.. been there 3x.. n gona go again..bt tat will b after our wedding..hehe..
me too like bubbles entrance.. amara dun hv tat huh??

 

[joskyhuang]

duno leh... coordinator told me only haf dry ice smoke effect...they dun haf bubble machine.

 

[shannat]

haha bubbles seem cuter! maybe can prepare bottles of bubbles on the tables by the side of the aisle n your guest can blow when u march in?

 

[joskyhuang]

hmm i notice guest r lazy (even when I'm in)... hehe~ we always dun like to pop or throw petals when we are seated al0ng the aisle.
guess unless there's a lot of kids den would be gd n easier. =)

 

[sept_09_bride]

ive alrdy plan to hv those mre 'fun' relatives n friends to sit along the aisle..hee so tat they can 'participant' when we march in lor.. they will throw those petals n thingy lor..

those quieter ones, sit on at the inner rows lor..hehe..

 

[joskyhuang]

CH: when's ur AD? so fast u plan ur seating le? jialet i v stress liao... haven finalise guest list also wo... >_<|||

erm, any1 have been to e printer contact tat Amara provide (at Ubi area de) ??

 

[michi]

JoSky, i forgot to reply to ur previous ques...i'll only get to view &amp; select my photos in mid Feb, 1 wk aft CNY.

I've asked my ex-coordinator about the bubbles before, she said Amara don't have, scared the bubbles might drop onto the food &amp; tables. So if any of you wish to bring ur own bubbles, better check if they allow us to do so

JoSky, do u know the name of the printer? But I intend to print my inserts in JB.

 

[joskyhuang]

ya that's what the ex-coordinator told us abt e bubbles also. such a pity... come to think of it, true tat other wedding i attend also more common to use dry ice now.

e contact amara gace is this:
Yitai Hotstamping Manufacturer
Blk 3014A Ubi Rd 1 #05-01/02/04/05 JTC Flatted Factory S(408703)
Tel: 6743-7928

michi, so haf u went down e JB outlet to check out?

 

[shannat]

well, if amara allows, maybe u can try these.
http://www.ehow.com/how_4884882_make-homeade-edible-bubbles.html
but might be troublesome if u hv to make them your own.. actually i think if the ppl dont ingest them directly, it shld be ok ba. maybe the first march in is ok cos food not served yet.

 

[sept_09_bride]

yah.. bubbles thingy scare will drop onto food.. or even plate.. do amara provide flower pedals for our guest to throw during our march in??

our AD is only on Dec... juz plan for relatives.. coz i knw my father side relatives will all attend..we all v v close 1.. mum side nt all will come,coz my mum's relatives are in msia..

so the printer tat amara provides are in ubi..so far.. MC-Queen v 'msia' leh..every ting done in msia 1..haha..

MC_Queen>> saw ur pics le.. ur Greek princess lok alike gown is nice.. bt seems like no much changes done to ur hair leh..

 

[michi]

JoSky, i went to T&amp;T printing at city sq jb few wks bk, if i'm nt wrong..the price is about RM155 for 250 inserts with free little cartoon designs. So its less than SGD$80

CH, i'm half half msian coz my dad is from jb, used to go in weekly mah...since my BS is in jb, will be going in often, must well buy my wedding stuffs there, can save up to SGD$2k wor hehe

Hehe..Greek hairstyle is specially requested by me, i ask my mua to do that haha, simple then the attention will focus more on my pretty face mah =p

 

[joskyhuang]

wow tat's indeed a big saving! I pass by T dragon e other day n have a quick check.
for hot-stamping inserts, tink already $130 for 200pcs le... n each additional icon/cartoon is $10/batch printing.

 

[michi]

But too bad T&amp;T does not have hot stamping.

 

[joskyhuang]

oic.
then again to be frank, hot-stamping does look nice but it's just an additional cost which most of time ppl/guest could haf just throw the invite away after the event...

did T&amp;T say need give how long timing for printing?

 

[michi]

For T&amp;T, it only takes 1 wk to print &amp; total 2 trips to get it done

 

[sept_09_bride]

oic.. me too 1/2 msian.. my mum is fm ipoh.. hehe.. bt i dun reali dare to go jb..v luan, scare scare..haha..

where is T&amp;T?? which floor in city square?? sounds interesting leh.. bt are they able to print the directions to our hotel??

 

[michi]

CH, JB is not as luan as many ppl think...juz have to becareful &amp; dun reveal our gold, wallet etc, it shld be ok

I've shared the address above before, here it is:
T &amp; T Instant Print Services
City Squarre, Level 4, J4-04
[email protected]

Yes, they can print the maps for us with additional charge.

 

[sept_09_bride]
