My parents have been doing a lot and actually 80-90% at the wedding are relatives and their friends so they've been kept very busy.
Personally, I find that it might be easier if you make more trips back to singapore than taking a whole month off but that means you'll pay more for flights. Cos Certain things you need to do a few months before. For this month, I've been co-ordinating flowers, makeup, mani/pedi all from Perth and everyone's very responsive to my emails and I get a reply within 24hours.
A few contacts for you to get you started.
This lady, Cherry Au, does makeup and her husband is a wedding photographer. Pretty good comments from others in this forum.
