Anyone planning a SG wedding but currently in Australia?

hey jacq, i know what u mean... after a hard week of work i just want to veg out and relax too. I know I should be thinking about booking the cars, thinking about colour schemes, bridesmaids etc.. but i just can't be bothered. Seems like such a huge task and i keep procrastinating and putting it off. All I know so far is that i definitely don't want a pastel colour theme.

I'm also having a hard time deciding on my final bridesmaid. Having 3 in total.First 2 were easy decisions - my sis and my best friend whom i've known since i was 5. FMIL is pushing for FH's sister but i really don't want her. I'm tossing up between my good friend from perth (10 years of friendship, still feel close to her but contact sporadically) , and a good friend from sydney (only known her for 2 year, we get on like a house on fire but don't have the kind of history i have with my other friend). What do you girls think? Decisions decisions. FH's already decided on his grooms men - his brother, a good friend from perth, and a high school friend from brisbane. So easy :P

Ceremony's on 12/04/08. When's yours again jacq?
 


Hi Emilia. Thanks for the invite. Where did you have your wedding in Melbourne? I won't have my ceremony there. It will be in my HTB's hometown Adelaide. But we'll be working and living in Melbourne after that.

Melissa, hope you are in here cus I'm loving your tips! My HTB lived in Singapore for a yr less than yours. But has moved for a better job offer in Melbourne last Nov. So, yes, we've been pretty much in long distance since 6 months now? Geeze!

How about make-up artist? You'll have your gown over and every over. But, make-up artisit? Photographer? Will you get another one in Brisbane as well?

Oh so much questions questions.
 
welcome miss lala

This thread's been a bit quiet lately. Everyone's busy with work (i think)
happy.gif
 
MS lala... oh my god. I lived in adelaide for 6.5 years. Its my heaven.. and will be my retirement place! i missed it like hell, but what to do, the money is here in melbourne.
happy.gif


I did mine in a little Indonesian mosque...heheheheh very small and informal.Where in Adelaide you going to have it , goodness, theres so many nice place to take photos in adelaide... kazillions of them. Sigh......

Chaddie's having a sale? hmmmmm havent been there for a while. heheh been busy like what peanutbutta say.
happy.gif
heheheh

I just finalised my wedding cupcake last week. Pandan flavour! hehehehahahahh
 
No worries ladies. I'm quite free, when not travelling for work ;)

I have been working in an environment that unless you travel,ur boss will think you're not working hard enough. I think and am afraid that I'd miss travelling when I moved to Oz. Is there anything you've missed since married or/and stayed in the down-under?

I really hope I won't become lazy and sleepy like during Uni. daz.... or under influence of the weather ;)

Yes. Chaddie on sale! Attached the promo. flyer. My HTB send this flyer to me - make me jealous. Anyway, Happy Shopping Emilia!

Hmm... Adelaide. Honestly, we've not confirm the exact location. Heard the Church in the city has a waiting list of 3 yrs! Wondering if I'd change my mind by then.. Ha! My HTB's dad lives in the hills, very nice and cosy. I've only been there thrice? For X'mas and some stopover.

Pandan cupcakes... yummmmmmm....
 
Emilia, so you've decided to go with cupcakes for your wedding? That's cool! I really want a cup cake wedding cake
happy.gif
Have you decided what colour you want them? Do u have pictures??? hehehe How exciting! I told FH about my plan to make my own cupcakes for the wedding but he's said no. He thinks i'm crazy :P heheehe but he's probably justified in thinking that give that 90% of the cakes i bake don't turn out right:P Oopps better make that 95%

Speaking about travelling, I had a sudden urge yesterday to pack up and backpack around japan. I miss my little europe backpacking adventure
sad.gif
It's true what they say about catching the travel bug. I've only been back in Aust for 5 months and already i want to go on another long holiday
happy.gif
It's just so sad to think that it'll probably never happen tho. I've got a friend at work who is going to walk from the north of japan to the south. Yes, walk... no bus, no train, no bike. He thinks it'll take him 6 mths to do that. How cool is that?
 
hehehehaha.. i have to move around every 3 months..anywhere if not i go insane. currently i am planning an impossible trip that Chris think might be a possibilty if i can get a proper job. I am a serial backpacker! heheheh :P

Japan sounds excellent! heheh with a good wage in Oz, you can travel anywhere within 2 months of savings. Thats for sure!

yeah.. cupcakes... after a long thought since dec.

Ayu sent a batch to my sisters baby shower last sunday and i am very happy about it!
 
MS LALA!!!!!!!!!!! YOU must go and have your wedding in the hills, Theres a beautiful church in Hanhdorf. A good mate of mine married there ..so beatiful and idyllic. I miss the hills! *sigh*.

Adelaide is the city of churches.. which church are you talking about in the City? is it the beautiful one in North Adelaide? Yeah..that one is very hard to get!
happy.gif
 
Wow. Walk, no train, no bus? I've read an Australian book called 'The Long Way Home' about him travelling from London to Sydney without taking any plane. Yes. No plane. All bus, train. But I think he's bit nutzz....

Emilia, did you study in Adelaide? My HTB family and friends are all there. But he knows I can't really adjust to the environment there, esp. after 4 yrs in Perth. So probably Melbourne is a better option for me. But who knows eventually?

Awe... I love Hanhdorf too. The little German town. Its like one of the places that I'm 'impressed' with Adel. But we're not having anything religious in our wedding. So, no church. Btw, the 3-yr waiting list Church is somewhere near Uni of Adel., so yes, Nth Adel.

Melissa, how is your preparation going? My HTB is stopping over Sg for a weekend for work (this is how we maintain our long-distance) and if we have time, will pop over to Fairies Inc for rings shopping!
 
yes. i studied at all the 3 unis(pa ka liow)! hehehehhaha, worked, lived in Adelaide. Took me a year to get over the kampung shock of suspended time/cultural differences BUT i grow to love it and always will.I LOIKE KAMPUNG!
happy.gif
Most of my Adelaide friends are allover the world or here. so not too bad.But my ozie family are all in Adelaide. Will have to go back there soon to visit them in Brighton. Chris is already making noise about going back. We miss Adelaide a lot. Very nostagic and sentimental for us.
happy.gif


Coming over to Melbourne I had to go through another year of shock. Too fast, too singaporean, too many asians, no beaches on at my fingertips, depressing weather. ROFL LOL

But now i am ok lah... turning Melburnian quite fast. Margiel is moving here soon.. and JacQ is here. We all should one day meet up.

PS: WAS it Margiel or JacQ that was talking about a shawl for the wedding dress,,, i saw a FUR overshoulders shawl thingy for winter while walking home form work today... i will post the picture here for you soon ok?If you want me to ask them how much for rental, i can, coz its around the corner from where i live!
 
Miss Lala, its amazing to know that you met your Fh in India. What are the odds? hmmm
happy.gif
well done!

ps: read it in anotehr thread about aussie hubbies... which is quite dead by the way...
 
Hi gals
Me also been MIA for sooo long.. was busy packing my stuffs (had tendered my resignation) and rushing reports at work till im soooooo tired.. Slept for few hours only in the past days, then came the GSS (Great S'pore Sale!!!) last thur or fri... so of cos I joined in the crowd too lah hahaa, wanted to pick the best esp when sales just started.. Got few good buys but then.... heee still havent bought any proper things like my wedding dress!!! aiyoh! haaahhh. And also the best thing is i've totally 4gotten abt wedding guest book until my fiance reminded me when i asked him anything he wanted me to buy since im shopping. See lah, im such a typical singaporean woman, like tonite, went out to catch up with a close friend who came back for few days from Korea, 4 of us were walking & talking then suddenly from far i saw 50% storewide signage - quicken my steps and walked away from my friends hahaa they then told me how could I talked 1/2way and walked away like dat - like a magnet to the sign board that is super far away hahaa... well dat's me mah!

2day best, i went to an acessories shop and saw many sets of 'diamond-like' necklace and matching earrings on sales (Buy 1 Free 1). i got 2 sets + 2 'diamond-like' braclets for the price of $32!!! The gals in the shop & I were laughing when they asked me "so how is your gown like?" I said "duno havent bought any yet" then they asked again "when is ur wedding?" and i told them "July! heheeee..." They got worried for me and staretd asking me whther i have prepared this and that oredi. They were sooo sweet, took down all 20-30 sets for me to choose and make sure all the 'diamonds' are intact.

Ok so much for my shopping lately, still a lot to talk about hahaaa endless topic..

Hope everyone here is fine and good!
 
Hi Ms Lala, welcome to this thread! Sorry havent been following this thread lately, so where are u currently living? U r from SG too?
happy.gif
and when is ur wedding? My sister also getting their rings from fairies inc.. where they customised rings rite?

Hihi Emilia
It's me me!!! asking abt the shawl or somthing over the shoulder. Can u check for me the price for rental or sale? and also if u can make a pic and post it here, dat will be nice.. Thanks thanks!!! I really need to find time and make a trip down to City Plaza, TK complex & JC complex to see gowns oredi. The tot has been at the back of my mind for so long but am too busy to go and check it out... Busy till i dropped sooo much hair and went to see doc, did blood test cos doc tot i may have thyroid or watever, thank goodness every things is normal, so now i have to look into my sleeping pattern, diet and stress level (which was really super high at work).. Today just bought flexseed oil capsule as supplement for hair Hee.. Hair tonic for the past months doesnt seem to work much.. Really heart pain to see hair on the floor everyday - took so many months to grow and fall just within seconds!!

Hey gals, by the way, any ideas on making ur own guest book? Simple and yet elegant? and any contact for make up artisit that come to ur house to do the make up + hair? i think i would prefer everything to be done at home b4 i set off to the venue... Oh i got my photographer oredi, my SG colleague will be coming to attend my wedding and will bring his photography equipment to make pictures for us, happie happie!! Another colleague also coming to be my witness!! Yeah! Am so touched by her gesture, took unpaid leaves somemore to fly over just to attend the wedding... i am really speechless and touched!!!


Ok it's public hol here 31/5-Vesak Day.. Crowds everywhere for sure heheee...
happy.gif
 
margiel. u sound like a headless chook with a bad case of shopping addiction..hehehehheha.. but its nice to see you in here again. ..we all went into hybernation for a week!
happy.gif
heheheh

i gave you the contact for faina from chanel( in chadstone) already for make up artist... look into the old links and yes i took a picture of the fur shrug..i will go have a talk to the person tonight at the shop, if possible.
happy.gif

Lucky you for the photographer and witness!
happy.gif
heheh
I am making my own guest book, but i am delaying the process.... I still think i want lines in them, but its not really necesssary, huh? Using the same material as my wedding gown for it.
 
Hahaa when it comes to Big Sales I am crazy, there is a sense of 'satisfaction' esp when u get quality stuffs at good price
happy.gif
Other normal days will be back to my own self heee
Ya i remembered faina from chanel at chadstone. But have to travel there to do make up rite? my morning time on that day may be a bit tight.. shall see how then. Thanks for the effort of making the pic.. can u oso helped me check abt rental of gowns/ dresses (dun wan white colour) for a small size gal like me, any alteration inclusive?
For my guest book, initially i wanted to have some nice heart shape paper (with metallic/shiny colour) for each guest to sign, then at the end of the day will then combine them into a book or put them into my wedding album, tot of saving my storage space... otherwise along the years, we will have a lot to keep - will be having 2 big albums on our prewedding indoor + outdoor photoshoots, coming Oz wedding album, SG w album and other little things
happy.gif

Nice to use the same material as ur gown to make ur guest book, lots of memories when u sit back and look at it again
happy.gif

Ok thanks thanks... shall wait for u to update me more..
happy.gif
 
waaahhh..not bad.. GOOD IDEA about the heart shapes-never would I have thought of that!
happy.gif

went to the place and she dont rent them, its for sale .. from $60 to about $150. I think its worth it. here are teh pictures.

SHe said if you make agowns from her it will start at$1200 coz aisan are so tint, theres no rental place that would have your size.. unless u go to asian places...

Faina came to my place and made me up. The best is to meet her at the channel counter and choose the colours u like and on the actual day she will do it similar and spruce it up even more!

Emilia, good on you for loving Adelaide. Its like a 'blackhorse' that Melburnian always tease upon.

Yes, we were in India for work - we were work-colleagues then. Was tough initially for all the distance and everything when we both just want to know each other more! A simple 'date' like makan-ing after work is impossible for us.

So, when he finally made decision to move over SG for work, its also a challenge as we have to adjust the sudden change, to be together! His bet is higher as if really things didn't work out, he got none family or friends here. So, anyway, glad it all into place now.

Margiel, I'm from SG. Haven't really fix a date for wedding! Ha! Probably next year as I'm moving over Melbourne in year end. Yes, Fairies Inc does customised rings. Heard many good things about them, so why not try. The rings from Aust. is usually huge and elaborate ones right? So, thought its safer to get it in SG. When are you moving to Melb? Will you be getting a job there?

Hey, I've also seen couple who took instant photos of the guest and have them sign on it. So, it will collectively become a book and photos too. Thought might be of interest
happy.gif
 
Wow Emilia, thanks thanks, visual speaks more than words. Im really skinny tho (hmm not short lah abt 160cm), the fur thingy look pretty but maybe big for me heee... where is the place? maybe i can drop in to have a look when im there. From the pic background, they sell gowns also isit? Oh ok so fiana actually came to ur place to do make up.. nice nice... does she do hair as well? and how much did u pay for urs? I guess i can only start sourcing when im in Melb next month.. Soon soon!!! heeee
happy.gif

Ms Lala, wow urs is a long distance relationship too? Mine also, not easy tho, alot of adjustment to make esp when being together after being separated for a period of time. For us, we make it a point to visit each other every 2 months or so... other then that will be on internet daily heee, thanks to the technology world
happy.gif
I'll be in Melb this whole of July for wedding then back to SG again and will be in Melb again somewhere in Sept/Oct for good. Will definitely want to get a job there.. not too sure what can i do with my basic qualification. Need to source around.
Good idea to take instant pic and let them sign on it, but will the pic fade off in years to come? hee or need to laminate them perhaps, like the idea, creative! and at least you know who wrote what heee
happy.gif

These are my wedding accessories (NOT REAL DIAMONDS) bought during Great S'pore Sales..
Everything for only $32!!! Happie Buy Yeah..
happy.gif

Have not even got my dress/gown yet
happy.gif
Been admiring them every now and then ever since i bought..
happy.gif
Still admiring them now hehehe
 
Good gosh, a day or two stuck at the sewing machine on a project and look at how much I've missed! ^_^;;;

Hey Miss Lala! I'm so glad my tips have helped. And I completely understand the 'better job' for the HTB. My HTB took quite a fair bit of crap in his job, but stuck with it, cuz of us.

6 months?! Ouch.

I haven't worked out the makeup artists and all the like, but we both love journalistic wedding photography. It tells more of a story than the regular pose-and-click. Here's a list of some: http://www.wpja.com/.

Ring shopping! What are you planning to look at? I'm jealous your HTB is going to be here for the weekend. *wibble*
 
Hi Joliebird welcome to the thread, i got it from Bedok Central, can't remember the shop name, it's just few shops away from NTUC and everything is 'Buy 1 free 1'. Hope the info helps.
 
Hi girls, just a bit of an intro - I'm originally from Adelaide, but moved to Sg 5 months ago after 1.5 years of LDR to be with my FH. Our wedding is in Nov 07, and I'm slowly sussing out where to find everything in Singapore, and looking to making new friends!


I've loved your girls recipes! Haven't tried them yet, but will definately print them off for future use!

Where is Fairies Inc? Need to get rings too.

I wanna do a salsa-in on for my march in and would like buy a to get a sexy spanish style dress. Would prefer to buy over tailor (esp with the sales on) cos of $$$ and I'm afraid that it won't look as fantastic on me as I imagine it to be...so would prefer to be able to try it on. Any suggestions where to look? I've looked in all the regular places like City Hall and Orchard Rd.

I love the idea of using the same material as your evening dress to make up your guest book! How do you intend to wrap the book without getting material bumps? I was thinking of cutting out heart shaped cards for the guests to write their messages on, and arranging them in the guest book with digital pics of the guests after the wedding....neater than having them scribble everywhere.

Where's a good place in Sg to buy good but cheap ribbons and cardboard? The only craft places I've seen here are in Ngee Ann city (exp!) and Spotlight at Dhoby Ghaut.

Out of curiosity, how are you girls organising/coordinating the dresses for your bridesmaids? I have one potential bridesmaid in each country.
 
hello jolie and melissa. welcome to the thread. no worries.. we are quite the bunch here...
happy.gif
heheheh

melissa- what are u making on the sewing machine?

jolie- are you a caucasian ozie? its funny how all of us are going the other way around!
happy.gif

Where in Adelaide did you live? I am glad there are some Adelaide connections going on!
happy.gif
heheheh

RIBBONS- TEXTILE CENTRE! :P
CARDBOARD- BRAS BASAH CENTRE( ART FRIEND)
good luck!

I mentioned before that i bought my bridesmaid silk taffetta evening dresses(x3)from Sportsgirl!
happy.gif
heheh they were on sale $29 from $250! it was a great bargain! hehehe

Cupcakes for me is a release form loneliness.. still doing the LDR with husband, unfortunately due to jobs issues. Hope to see him in August.. cant wait, hes in Austria now. we have been married since April. He left me 2 weeks after the wedding. We are anticipating the wedding in Spore in Dec!
happy.gif
 
hi gals, it has again been a busy week at work so no action from me! hope everyone's been keeping well
happy.gif
emilia u would b pleased to know that i made a day trip to your hometown adelaide on thurs for work. not the most ideal day since it appeared that i took the melb weather wif me!

welcome ms lala, joliebird and melissa! hope u enjoy this thread as much as we have
happy.gif
ms lala, i tink u mentioned u used to live in perth? me too, so did peanut. were u studying there?

marg, u must be so excited abt the wedding, it's only a mth's away. no pressure though heheh...hey u know how i mentioned abt my colleague (in Sydney) who did part time make-up? unfortunately she still has not set a date on when she's moving to melb so probably best not to get her to do the make-up in case she's a no show by then.

emilia, we should def meet up when marg gets here. hopefully we would b able to psych each other up for more wedding planning since i havent done much since.

peanut, i love baby blue and baby pink. i just watched marie atoinnete on dvd n loved the baby blue dress she had on. although i was initally thikning of playing wit colours such as olive green and fuschia. honestly im so fickle minded that i will probably change my mind again next week!
 
Hi Jacq happy to see u back again.. A day to Adelaide for work? wow must be tiring. I like Adelaide too.. Been there 2 yrs back when my friend brought me there to visit her friends + touring..
No prob, we can meet up when im there, there are 4 of us linking to 'Melb' now hehe - Emilia, u, Lala & me (did i miss out anyone else? or perhaps more coming LOL) Maybe we can set up 'HQ' and 'branches' over Melb, Brisbane & Adelaide selling asian delicacies & cupcakes? heee
happy.gif
Ah not 4getting Jolie in SG haaa.. just kidding
happy.gif

Back to my own preparation, yday & today friends asking me again how's my preparation,then it made me panick abit, nothing yet! Had a quick check with my fiance again and there's really nothing much to prepare on my side except my dress/ bridal bouquet/ make up + hairdo. That's all I think. It's a small and simple wedding lunch reception with probably only about 30 odd guests at Mt Dandenong area.
 
Margiel...WOW...Mt Dandenong? As in the Mountain area...where you planning to hold it at... Sassafras? I loike. Sounds good! when is the AD again? very the romantic! :P

Yeah , we all should come together and have dinner. So much to eat so little time.

Jacq so nice. I miss Adelaide. heheheh if you go there again..say hi to her for me . Dont forget to stop at Lilly cafe or Cibo! heheheh YUM!
Guess what? i made cupcakes yet again. I stink of batter right now!
happy.gif
heheeh pandan cupcake with sugane/coconut whipped cream....
 
Emilia, yes ours will be at Sassafras. Went to look at the address of the venue LOL. Din even know Sassafras exist. All the while i tot Mt Dandenong is the label for the whole Mountain area LOL. We will be holding the ceremony at Fortnums. How's ur cupcakes going? I like looking at pictures of cute and colourful cupcakes now LOL Thanks to ur influence
happy.gif
heeehee..
 
Hey girls! OMG I can't believe its Monday. I hate mondays. Glad it's nearly over. Doubly glad it's the long weekend this weekend! Thank god for the queen
happy.gif


Jacq, my whole life i've dreamt of having a wedding full of pastel pinks and purples.. but for some reason the time's finally come and i've gone off these colours!?! hahha... I like the idea of olive green and fushia. I was thinking along those lines too.. or perhaps gold or a dark purply pinkish colour.

emilia, post some photos of your cupcakes! I like looking a pictures of food hehe

I'm still trying very hard to get my jap cheesecake to work... so far i've made it 5 times and it's only been successful once. Maybe i'm just not destined for the domesticated life :P

Marg, when's your wedding day again? Is it next month? Sorry.. bad memory :P
 
Thanks girls for pointing me in the right direction!!

No, I'm not a caucasian. My parents are Singaporean, but migrated to Australia, which is where I was born and grew up. It just so happened that my now fiancee ended up here for work.

Waaaahhh!! I miss Adelaide!! I would LOVE o have our photoshoot back home with the gorgeous outdoor scenery of Australia, but the $$ don't add up! I used to live in the north eastern suburbs, near Paradise Interchange.

Do you girls have a theme planned for your wedding? I'm still trying to decide on one. At the moment, I'm thinking 'garden', but I'm still searching for elements to make it unique.
 
Hello everyone! Back to the thread after a happy hang-out time with my HTB over the weekend. He's now back Melbourne
sad.gif


Glad to know so many Adelaide lovers here! Who knows. We might end up there too (actually he has a dream of buying over his mum's place where he grew up in).

Margiel, totally understand about the panic part when people start asking - this confirmed? that finalised? Least I think you're pretty much 'there'. So are you looking forward to Sept/Oct when you move over?

Joliebird, welcome to the thread. So will you and your fiancee be living in SG after your wedding?

Melissa, think you and I have quite similar encounter with our HTB living in SG - mine had lots crap while working in a SG local company. Ha! Probably cultures, environment, some 'unfriendly' collegues etc. I feel sorry for him too as him trying to blend into them. I hope this will not be my situation when I work in the Oz environment. Anyone has anything to share regards to working in the down-under?

Yes! The WPAJ website! Since mine will be in SA, only KC Wong is available. Anyone tried him before? Seen some samples on Jounalistic Photography before. Will you have music over your own voices during the vow? If not, be careful on the surrounding sounds. I've seen one where they had a water fountain just in front of their ceremony stand and the water dripping sounds interrupted their voices. Bit of a shame.

Jacq., I studied in Perth during my Uni. days. Seems so long ago now..

Hey, all Mel. staying brides, any good recommendations on getting Carrot Cake (not dim sum style, but hawker ones) in Melb? That Chom chom in the city doesn't have it.
 
Hey Melissa, I went into your link on the doll clothes you made - very nice!

Do you do that as a living? Or an interest? Will you be doing this whilst in Brisbane?
 
hello melissa, WOW your work is fantastic, whats your background? heheh i kinda KEPO and managed to see your whole album and your blog. What did u do at uni and what makes you go into dolls? I think its a very unique profession, expecially for a singaporean.
happy.gif
Well done!i am perplex and intrigue at the same time.

Jolie- i know wheres Paradise, My ex kinda step mum lives there.

Ms Lala- where does your HTB parents lives? yeah my dream is to buy a house in Adelaide Hills one day... corramandel valley or something... so i can wake up with koalas in my backyard!
happy.gif
hehehhe

heres the cupcake...
490171.jpg
 
Emilia, my HTB mum lives near Tea Tree Gully Interchange - so yes, pretty near to Joliebird used to live!

His dad lives with partner in Stirling though - up the Adelaide hills! Remember how they relate that they gets many cute 'visitors' every now and then. They kept their own chicken too, so eggs are free!

The Cupcake is sooooooo wwooooo la la la......
 
Miss Lala: Same same. I felt so guilty that the HTB had to take on all the nonsense from a boss who wasn't appreciating his work at all. I have the same fear too, but it should be alright. *fingers crossed* And definitely noted... once I find a priest who will marry us here. ^_^;;;

As for the sewing, it's only an interest and I sell some doll clothes, but not enough to live off of. I will definitely be bringing my sewing machine and overlocker with me to Brisbane. Can't trust modern sewing machines these days. XD

emilia jo: Heh, thanks. Which background are you referring to? I did marketing and PR in uni, and now work in sales and marketing. Sewing is just a hobby that keeps me busy after working hours.

Erm, the dolls? They're fully articulated (ie. have movable joints and can therefore pose in a variety of ways, even stand on their own), completely customisable (hair colour/length/style, eye colour, make-up, etc) and come in a variety of sizes/body types/sex. Which is fun and provides a creative outlet.
 
Morning gals,
Need your honest opinion on this dress and its colour on me.. Am deciding whether to buy this dress for my Melbourne wedding in July....
Btw here's my multiply http://margier.multiply.com/
I'll be storing my preparation and stuffs there (just started, more coming)
491001.jpg
 
Margiel, honestly, I love the upper top part. Its fitting and show off your slim shoulders and waist. And the embroidery too! But I'm not really sure about the bottom half of the dress. One part of me feel is unique another part feels messy? Mixed feelings!

The colour is fine if it fits into your theme.

Oh you are getting me excited to shop for my dress!!!
 
hello hello!! wow this thread is progressing too quick for me
happy.gif
but pls keep them coming cos it would appear that we all have so much to share
happy.gif


ms lala: yummy chye tow kway (if that's how you spell it) is avaialable at this bubble tea joint in lygon st called Boba - not sure if owners a m'sian or s'porean but trust me, doesnt matter since the food's yummy...hehe

also i find working in melb fantastic. my colleagues are great and bcos it's such a cosmo city, u don't feel so "asian" if you know wat i mean. what line of work will you be hoping to get into? btw when r u coming to melb?

emi: unfortuantely i didnt get to venture out to anywhere apart from adelaide city and the airport (was stranded for 2 hours!!) so didnt get a chance to see the nice bits. heard from my friends that the vineyards are lovely there...maybe we should do a Brides-to-be trip to Adelaide one day...hahhah

peanut: i plan to use this long weekend to sit and down and come up with a timeline and start making calls/emails. so i'll check out on the web for any colour coordination and let you know if i find anything pretty. god save the queen!!

marg: my darling u look hot in the dress. i like the top bit and how it sits on you..nice!
 
haha Lala u are really fast! Thanks.. actly it was too big for me, the lady used pins to make it fit for time being.. We have no theme LOL I think what my FH wears will depend on the colour of my dress. I also think that if the layered is all the way down or either straight mermaid flowy cut will be nicer.. Actly i tried with can can, the effect is grand, like ballroom gown heee..

Margiel, breath in.. breath out... yes, personally I'd prefer the flowy cut. But hey, how many times we said that to a dress - if only this like that etc.. LOL! But regardless, i think its a stunning dress. Good luck!!

Jacq, thanks for chye tow kuay direction! Hehe.. is that the black kind? Not dim sum one? Glad to hear good feedback from you on working in Melb. I've asked for a company transfer to Melb. office. Hope all works well cus not all the time requests are being fullfilled. So *fingers*

Oh, I will only be moving there end of the year, like in Dec. Wedding next year (don't ask me exact date!)

Emi reading ur adelaide reminds me of my trip there. Think my friend's friend's hse oso on the hills, when we sat outside her house (duno wat u call it garden or nature hahaa..) for tea, there was a koala sleeping high high higghhh..... up on the tree and tree was just next to us! So near yet so far. At nite can hear the koala roaring.. sounded scary tho LOL The house owner also has kind of stick/leaf insects as pet at home.. They look beautiful when each time they made a slow step. Very interesting way of living!! I have likings for Adelaide esp the beaches, they are everywhere!
 
yeah margiel, the beaches are heavenly. i used to live 10 minutes by the beach in adelaide....was at the beach at least once a week, and i go there whenever i feel like. I miss that privilege, BIG TIME now in Melbourne. Coz to get as good as an Adelaide beach you have to at least travel 1hour.

hehehe..when is the exact date you coming over here?
 
Emi u live sooooooooo near to the beach gosh dat is wonderful!! ya u telling me abt the beach man!!! I remembered almost every nite we went to Mona beach to see stars sooo breath taking (it was after that trip that my friend & I went into star constellation, binoculars and books!!!.) We even brought our dinner n ice cream, drove to the beach and ate inside the car (hee too windy)looking at the sunset LOL.. Those were the good times with this good friend of mine. She's taking unpaid leave to attend my wedding n be my witness!! Im so blessed!
*Come on margie, BACK to the thread heeee..*
Oh yes answering to ur question, i'll be reaching Melb on 4/7 nite.
