Any Mixed Marriages here? Esp Chinese-Malay Muslim couple
- Thread starter huichin
- Start date
Huichin: What exhibition?? Are you talking about the Malay bridal exhibition? If so, the Malay bridal exhibition will be coming in July/August. So you may want to keep your ears and eyes peeled for that.
But I advise you to go to the BS (if you haven't decided on the BS) to try their clothes cos' at the exhibition, they will not bring their clothes. Then you can sign up for their promos at the exhibition.

Aiya..read until my eyes blur. Someone mentioned about make-up and bs. Ok..my evaluation on make-up:
<font color="ff0000">Chinese</font>
1. More natural looking
2. More up-to-date in terms of make-up like for eg. natural, dramatic etc. Like day, they tend to use natural. In the evening, more dramatic or depth in colour.
3. Hairstyle more simple. Usually, Day bun up. Evening, let down and usually use crown or simple sparkling accessories
<font color="119911">Malay</font>
1. More traditional looking. They usually either use red or pink lipstick.
2. Thicker make-up. No difference between day & evening make-up.
3. Can opt for natural make-up but must tell beforehand.
4. Hairstyle tend to be like "bee-hive" so that can insert the headgear. They seldom let hair down. And usually have something on the hair. Either flowers, feathers, crown, headgear etc..never empty.
Evaluation on bs:
<font color="ff0000">Chinese</font>
1. More expensive even though in terms of package.
2. Only 1 day make-up & usage of gowns meant for 1 day event.
3. More varieties of dresses that is from the dramatic to very modern simple.
4. Can MTM.
5. Balance of outdoor photographs & indoor photographs. Outdoor photographs are usually taken with nice surroundings.
6. Lack of other cultures wedding costumes. Usually very basic like chinese, japanese, western.
<font color="119911">Malay</font>
1. Price reasonable though bs like zulradi etc can be expensive for their package.
2. They usually provide 2 day events for ROMM & malay ceremony.
3. Dresses are usually very grand complete with headgear. Quite hard to find modern simple dress.
4. Usually off-the shelf.
5. Majority of outdoor photographs the surroundings not nice. Focus more on the couple. The indoor photographs are much nicer.
6. More varieties of other culture wedding costumes. Have chinese, japanese, korean, western, arabic, indian, javanese, boyanese etc..etc..
Lani,
Spa,
Who also want to tag along? Someone mention... blur already.. one day we organize go spa session together. Of course, must be on weekend..sorryah.

Hi ladies,
Thanks for welcoming me. Actually I am probably the oldest here - married at the age of 25, so can calculate how old I am now already lah! And no 7-year itch lah! Because me and hubby have been together for 14 yrs already!
Marnie,
We are not sure how many pax yet - you know how a Malay wedding is like lah! Mine was 1000 pax! But my mum says this time they wanna make it a small affair, so probably around 300-500 pax? Outdoor setting seems nice, but we're hesitant because of the weather. And you know how humid the weather here can get lah! Wait all the Mat Sallehs melt ah!! Haha! And most likely we only want a venue, as my parents may have a caterer in mind already. But do bear in mind that all of the above are not confirmed yet, so do feel free to offer ANY suggestions and ideas.
Perhaps you wanna elaborate more on your choice of venue (Asian Civilisations Museum) and what they have to offer. It sounds very interesting. My sis probably wants a "westernised" reception, as most of her friends are non-Malays, but she would still like to have some Malay flavour present, so that at least her in-laws can experience how we get married over here.

Hi Lani,
So you want a venue with air-con? But already have caterer in mind. Quite limited leh. Suggestions:
1. ACM
2. Singapore Art Museum
3. Community Centres (there are some with air-con)
4. Fort Canning
I have another suggestion since your sister would like some malay flavour present that is to hold in Tepak sireh restaurant. You can have an alfresco style (they have place for that) but malay food. Or best hold at hotel, they can do western concept but malay food. Both places air-con and not much hassle coz no need to think of the decor, florist etc.

Lani : You may have read my post to Cuclainne about why we chose ACM. Mostly due to its central location and the beautiful setting (re. an architectural splendour with interiors marrying our asian cultures and accents of the west) - perfect for Meraj and I. You may log into http://www.museum.org.sg/MCC/VisitorInfo/ACMempress/ to find out more info (rental and stuff like that).
Singapore Art Museum has tonnes of construction going on so you may want to take that into consideration. Further, from my "investigation", the space can only accomodate up to 120 pax.
There's Burkill Hall (rent is S$3K for the weekend) at Botanic Gardens. Upstairs aircon, downstairs is al fresco.
Fort Canning. I think IC held her wedding there. Burkill Hall, SAM, ACM and Fort Canning all allow you to have your own caterer.
Can I suggest you take a look at The Arts House too - http://www.theartshouse.com.sg/home.html ? It's a beautiful place. You can give the mat sallehs a running commentary of the history of singapore.
Oooh...and agree with IC. Can try Tepak Sireh though that's a full restaurant. Their package is all inclusive (except for bridal clothes lah).

Hey ladies - hope everyone is having a good morning so far.
Marnie: I've received the details from Little Bali. Will have to check out with Elias what he thinks of it. This man has sooo many ideas.. you know he wants our flags to be on the wedding cake? How weird would that look - blue, yellow, red and white... hmmm. Trade fair or what??
Lani: Hey Lani - welcome to the forum. When is your sister's wedding?
If anyone is attending any bridal exhibitions, can let me know or not - then can go together.

Cuclainne: From what you know of your Ah Boy...what do you think he'll say about Little Bali?
Re the wedding cake - it's a FABULOUS idea...I'm thinking of suprising Meraj with a football pitch cake...(ala Liverpool - he's a fan for yonkers!) or a Simpsons one (we're both fans - though he's a fanatic). I reckon it'll cost about $200-S$300 for a cake which can feed about 200 pax.
About the bridal exhibition - no worries - I'll be yours and Huichin's eyes and ears! I also want to kaypo (though I settled most of my stuff lah) at the Fair.
Interrace : Your PS this Thursday right? I hope you apply for leave on Friday also, girl. It's loong day ahead on the PS day. Better rest more after.

I think Ah Boy might be open to the idea. But I really have no idea what he's thinking of right now - he seems to have his own perception of how the wedding should be but only one problem... he hardly tells me what he wants!!
I scanned/ emailed some photos from the Anggun magazine (the caucasian guy modelling some malay costumes) and he insisted on not wearing the tanjak or any kind of 'headgear'. Sigh...
Talking of cakes, have you decided where you will get the cake? Is the Patissier any good? I'm thinking of what I can do to incorporate the colours into the decor and such ...

Marnie & ic,
Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas. Will take all of it into consideration. We will probably look into ACM and Burkill Hall more. We may even make enquiries at the Malay Village (that's where I had my Malay lunch reception and Chinese wedding dinner).
Tepak Sireh is prob out of the question - my mum was considering that place, but she got feedback that they are quite stingy with food, and customers have experienced food running out at around 3pm and guests had to eat fried noodles instead!!!
Anyway, she wants to get her own caterer - my brother got married last Nov and my mum really like the caterer, so she wants to engage them again.
Btw, what is Little Bali?
cuclainne,
My sis is planning to get married in Feb 2006. Her fiance's parents own a farm, so they will be very busy from Oct-Jan, tending to the farm.

IC : Woops, sorry IC for the mix-up. I was actually thinking maybe..just maybe i got mixed up between Charsiew Rice and yourself...Hmm...thanks for the clarification!
Cuclainne : Funnily, Meraj is excited about wearing the malay "headgear" though not the indian one. Weird...
Patissier's cakes are delicious!
But for designs other than the normal wedding cake ones (ie. frills and flowery sugar pastels), Pine Garden's cakes are delicious and designs are equally beautiful.

Lani : It's called Little Bali cos' architecturally, resembles that of Bali. You can check this site www.littlebali.com Cuclainne has got details of the place so you may ask her for more.

Farm - so nice!!

Marnie: Just have to coax him into wearing it lor. I think it would look cute. Hahahaha.

cuclainne,
My sis and hubby both now working in S'pore, but they do intend to return there permanently in a few years' time, but definitely not back to the farm lah! They will probably look for jobs in Melbourne, and stay in the city area. Besides, that's where her fiance has been staying since he started working after uni. He moved out of the farm when he started uni! They only go back to the farm for X'mas. Actually my sis, my hubby and myself are all familiar with Melbourne, as we all studied and lived there for several years.

Elaine : Aiyah...don't say that...I paiseh....If I can help, I help lor cos' I know how difficult it is to shop for things wedding. Mine's very different from siblings cos' a mix of cultures and also I am the kind who likes to shop within a certain budget - like that save money, right?
Okie. Will inform you when there's a Fair then we go for the "expedition"....
Lani : Ooh.....so we do have another one intending to move to Melbourne yeah.....? Meraj and I will definitely move back to AUS in a few years (in 5 or so) as Meraj is already very homesick. It's toss between Sydney or Melbourne.
Cuclainne : It's www.pgcake.com I have got the latest pricelist for the cake/flavours so buzz me if you want it and I can forward it to you vide email.

One was a present from my parents during my ROMM. The other one was baked by the pastry chef in the hotel. Very simple lah..coz i like simplicity. It had fresh calla lilies as decor, my favourite.

IC
Your cakes look so great.

Cuclainne : I have sent you the price and types of cakes list.
You can actually talk to the baker and designer (yes, they have a designer) at Pine Garden if you want to have miniature cakes. Personalised for the guests. Also if you have one great big cake, you need to arrange who to cut into smaller pieces and give away to guests. That was my main worry.
Charsiew Rice : Long time never see you liao....Been busy huh??
IC : You are tempting me with your wedding cakes - look so delicious!!!
Was actually deciding whether I want to surprise Meraj with cake or something else, after seeing pictures, I too want to have and eat cake too....
Elaine : Er...I think I never ask you. Did you end up meeting up with the guy from Kasaisayang?

That's what I thought too - very leceh to have to cut the cake and serve to guests. But Elias says HE wants to cut the cake - like so happy to be able to do that. Having big headache with table arrangements too ...
I think I need to go and colour my hair already ..

Hi ladies,
Can you recommend a Malay BS that will rent out 2 sets of costume for wedding, and also do the hair for the bride as well? I don't think my sis wants them to do her make-up, as we will get our own makeup artist to do that (Malay makeup artists don't know how to do "natural" makeup lah, always too drama!) Also, the male wedding outfits must be able to fit a big-sized Aussie bloke lah...thanks.
During my time in the dinosaur ages, I rented 2 sets of outfits from Som Said's bridal shop for only $350, but now she no longer operates that business anymore, so we need to look for a BS that is willing to ONLY provide the outfits plus headgear/hairstyling. Thanks.

Aiyoh...he very big sized one, and then the peru very "boncet" some more! Haha!! He can't really fit into local-sized clothes. His size is XL I think, and that's Aussie/American XL!!
My sis also on the plump side. She and I same height - around 1.5m, but her weight I think over 60kg liao! Whereas mine at full term 9mths pregnant was 59kg! Before pregnant my weight around 43-45kg.
Eh...I think I really digressed leh...oops!

Lani : Aiyoh...you haven't seen huichin and I lor - then you'd think we're big.....Your sis not that big lah.......but hor, if I buy clothes in US/Europe, I feel so "normal"...

Ally : Mana you pergi huh? Wah....yesterday go half day...shiok..eh....
Yeah yeah...me agree with Cuclainne. Excited liao....to meet.

Huichin : I can't make it on Tuesday or Friday next week. Actually, the whole of next week now can't make it cos' Meraj is in town....YIPPEEE! And I'll be busy helping him do flyers for One.org.sg (which he wants to set up in Singapore).
But I think if most can make it next week, I will try to go. No problems - just let me know.
