Hi Petrina,
I think a 5-kg cake wouild be sufficient. You can try checking out the cake shops that Minssy has posted earlier.
Hi Oraia,
What flavour of cake did you have?
By the way, gals. It was such a good day on Monday, with such good weather. Can't help but thinking that Minssy must have had a blessed celebration.

hi fleur,
hehe, my cake was 3-tier, and all three tiers were different flavours - lychee, choc and strawberry. of course can't tell fr the outside cos it's all fresh cream decorated with real cymbidium orchids.

Hi Oraia,
Your cake sounds delicious! Ha, do you have a pic of your cake?
Hi Minssy,
Looking forward to your return. Looks like walking in unveiled is a 'common mistake'. I attended a wedding whereby the bride also walked in unveiled. Personally, I don't see what's wrong with it. I think in western weddings, the bride is unveiled anyway.
Also, being veiled means that the bride cannot read the passsages/ songs during the service/ mass very well.
Hi Petrina,
I suggested 5 kg because I think there is a min size/ weight to have tiered cakes. Supposedly for support purposes.

hi missy!!
wow!.. so happy that u had a fanstatic day!!..
ur comments about philip lye makes me anxious to book him already.. hehe.. better call him by end Nov..
hahaha.. actually as what fleur said.. a lot of brides forget to put down their veil when walking down the aisle.. hehe.. my VG got a shot of a bride walking down the aisle then forgot about the veil.. so halfway.. someone helped her put it down.. and it was a really good laugh for that day.. the fun stuff that happens..
hi oraia,
wah.. lychee really sounds good!.. guess i better give them a call to find out more.. so i can look for wei is it? thanks thanks..
hi fleur,
oh.. me didn't know about the min weight of the cake.. thanks for highlighting that point to me..
hey gals,
if i didn't remember correctly.. there used to be a table with all the brides info in here right?.. is anyone doing it still?

Hi gals,
I was just informed by my church choir's leader that nobody from the choir will there at my rehearsal. Am feeling a bit jittery and concerned about that, since we won't be know the exact tune of the songs that we have chosen and how to pace the wedding procession etc. Is this the norm that no one from the choir is present?

hi gals!!

i've got to choose a colour theme for the flowers and am really at a lost as to what colours to choose..
i want something romantic and yet cheerful and a little playful.. hehe.. was actually thinking of pastel colours such as pink, violet, yellow and white.. but think it would look weird?

hi petrina,
yes i did - had colour theme for my whole weddng. hehe. and pine garden matched my theme of lilac and cream, tts y they use cymbidium orchids.
romantic yet cheerful and playful ah. i think what u have chosen is ok, not sure abt the yellow though. why don't u ask ur florist for help?

i arrived earlier so i went to the waiting room. when its time, i standby to march in with my dad... things went on smoothly and i was just anticipating the exchange of vows & rings part.. really sweet and magical. hahhahahhh! then it was quite abit of saying 'hi' to friends and relatives after the service...
noon time was no break for me cos its for packing for stuff to the hotel and i also personally attended the briefing session....the dinner went well and timing was as planned.... really awesome!!
god gave us good weather! it was abt to rain in the morning at 5+ when i woke up but god made the weather good again! things were smooth and besides the noon part whereby i wanna make sure things were packed and planned well, i was practically enjoying myself and left whatever worries to my helpers team! hehe.. i know that its impt for me to enjoy myself so as what alot of pple had told me, i just let go and let my helpers do the job
god blesses all who had helped me in every little thing that complete the whole wedding
okie.. so much for the updates for now... i am now an official catholic bride! ahahahhahhaha

Hi Minssy,
Glad to hear the magical details of your wedding. Great that it went so well! I think I should give Philip a call soon too.
I'm in HK too right now actually. Shall not disturb you on your honeymoon, but if you need anything PM me okay?

hi oraia,
well, i just tasted 2 cakes, from pine and cherryl shuen. Perhaps Pine is getting popular now so it's getting more expensive hehehe....
Will try to go around and find other bakery (if hv energy), but if can't find better one, then most prob stick to pine lor.. but i hvn't confirmed with them yet.

hi viv,
i see.... hmmm.. from what i recall pine garden goes by est on how many ppl the cake can serve. so mine can serve up to 260 guests at least.
not sure about urs - do u have more guests than that?
hi petrina,
think they don't go by kg leh... if you go by kg it's alot more ex. they go by the dimensions of the biggest tier at the bottom.

gals,
i told them my guests are only 180 and wish to hv it 3-tier. i think the lowest tier is 11-inch (so 7-9-11 inch)and the cake cost $520 + accrylic rental of $50.
NOt too sure if that is the real price cos...my bf blurted out that our budget is $500-600 so they may just give that price bcoz of it. I did call them and tell them to hv it lower to $400, they gave me $450 (without the accrylic stand, all 3-tier stacked on top of each layer) and size is reduced to 5-7-9inches. I was told that it'd be enough for 200pp if given small piece.
What do you think gals? Am I being overcharged? Or most of the price is around there?
I need to try to visit a few more, but can't remember which to go. Any recommendation?

hi Petrina,
no lah, dun think it's too early to source. My AD also 1 year from now...but I'm also starting to look at lots of stuff, flowers, cards, caterers, songs/music....heehee. I think just go ahead and look around while we're still excited by the whole thing. Better check things out early, than having to stress out later. This also gives us an idea of what to expect in terms of cost etc...and since we have so much time, to some extent, we wun be "pressured" to eg., buy the cake from A or get the flowers from B etc... hehs.
just my thots lah.
Some of my friends got Four Seasons catering, Kristen, Smiling Orchid, Select Catering for the lunch recep after their mass. You can check these out.

Petrina,
You can check out this caterer. They have a restaurant so you can have a meal there and see if you like their food. I attended a church reception where they were the caterer. It was good!

Hi Petrina,
yah...I'm such a fan of the CSI series...
. my AD is Nov 18. When's urs? (Can't remember if I read it somewhere here already...hehs.) Hmm...I wonder if there'll be any christmas deco up in Church already...if have, maybe no need to put too much flowers liao. heehee...
Hi Minssy, welcome back! Oh, dun mind, pls share with me your AD photos too. Yah, I think having a Catholic PG is nice. He/she would know which are the more meaningful bits of the mass/service.
Btw gals, how early do we have to book the church?

Hi gals,
I am finally back from my working trip to UAE. So sian there. The SB forum was blocked off 'due to it containing potential sensitive matter to the Arabs' beliefs', so I could not access from the hotel I stayed in.
Hi Oraia,
Very nice-looking cake indeed!
Hi Minssy,
Did you manage to 'ahem' recoup your costs for the reception and dinner? heehee...
How was the turnout for your dinner?
Hi Viv,
Any luck with the cake-searching yet?
