Hi everyone,
I'm really sorry but FH has had some trouble at work so had no time to do the balloons. So he just told me at 8pm tonight that there wont be any balloon arches! Then we're difinitely not using the DG stands, so I'm not sure if we're going to have anything at all along the aisle
Those who were going to come and see, I'm really sorry abt this. You're still welcome to come and have a look at our setup, but at this moment, i'm not sure what it's gonna be.
We've decided on You Light Up my Life for 2nd march in and will save the heart of candles for when we reach the stage during 2nd walk in. Wedding music, I've decided to leave it to DG. Tony says they've got the usual love songs, so ok lah. Then first dish, they'll play all during the setup and let us choose
oh man...just got back to my parents' place, and it's hopping with my dad's family from taiwan. Really need to get some sleep...got drunk at my hen party last night and still a little hungover. unfortunately, my gran's put lots of stuff on my bed so I've no idea how I'm going to zzz. Hmm.
kk, shower, mask, and zzz...

Woof,
I brought The body shop mini hand soap (passionfruit favour) from their sale. Then wrap it up like candy, tie with personlize ribbon. Each cost me less than 45 cents only...
Actually plan to buy from BBK, there sell very rose shaped candles... wrap indiv only abt 50 cents each. but my FH say no point spend extra to travel there.
That's my excuse to go there shopping...

hi! have photos for the tables that I'll put up when I get the time. Will be flying to BKK tomoro, so maybe next wk
In general, went ok. Kept tripping over my train though
Some points. Pls check the first dish song...I didn't have time to choose coz was doing my makeup, then they blasted it...even I got a shock. Then one aircon was dripping on one of the tables, hope they fix that. There was also a cockroach in my young cousin's noodles! Thank goodness not in one of the seniors or overseas guests'food. In the end, they gave 2 tables FOC and 1 table 50% off. My mom complained recep too warm, but then I thought it was ok. At least ppl will be encouraged to leave the receop and get seated! There were also a couple of flies buzzing around the hall and not enuff hashima in the dessert...
Those were the bad things. Emily is an excellent coordinator, and v helppful. We requested for a change of love songs after the first 2 (for actual dinner) coz they were playing some sad heartbreak love songs, and they did change. Check on volume at all points in the hall. Food came out quite quickly and most said food was gd. first march in we requested not too dim, and so not too bad. I quite enjoyed it lah, but after taking photos at 62 tables, my face was numb...
will put up my photos asap ok
all the best brides!

Woof,
I got the $538 one cos i lov the dessert. But aft claire's feedback, i think i'll take special note of the hashima. Cos i only 've less than 25 tables, so jus wrap abt 250 to 280 favour. My FH dun like at 1st... He think DG choc is enough and i'm doin sth extra and spend more... But since i insist and i told him i'll get my frens to help... he've to give in... Hee..

Woof,
If u've preferred style, u may want to opt out their cards... but i think they do not discount your bill... so not worth it. U can try to neg with them, maybe need to pay? i also dunno, cos i think 75% is sufficent. Only my dad worries what if typo error... like write wrong words... Btw, some hotel only give 70%.

hey anyone out there know the deco of DG....wat r the things they provide..oso after lookin at claire's fotos...i realise tat itz very dark when they march in.....heard fm my videographer (tat i m engaging for my AD)tat he had done one couple who held their dinner at DG n he mentioned tat for 2nd march in (fm the dressing rm if u using ballroom a) itz quite dark....anyone haf any idea?
Woof,
I mean 'typo errors' are by marriage couples. My dad afraid that he write words/name wrongly. Some mistake can use correction tape, by big one, nd to use another card....
I also think the march in very dark. I think i plan to keep the lights on, plus spot light=> for better photos! I think if the rm dark, plus spot light on us... we'll be too "shinning" to look at... Haha...

Hi dwoof,
The 2nd March-in is from the Dressing Room.
I'm also using Ballroom A.
It is dark when you march in. I also dunno what to do on the march in.. oh...You can ask DG to provide tea lights!!
I rem I checked with them before, they said they can put tea lights at the flower stands. So that it will add to the March in effect.
Can I ask, who you call to coordinate things at DG, that James Pang seem to have left.

Hi d woof,
I called DG 2 weeks ago, they said James Pang left, so I also dunno who to liaise with. Anyway, I have sent a query to DG on the person to liaise with.
The tea lights are added to the flower stands. As the flower stands are located along the walk in area, it should help. As least my decorator said so, I'm liaising with a decorator recommended by DG.

Hi dwoof,
For the decorator, I gave her a budget to work on and asked her not too exceed. $300.
As ballroom A is small, I asked her to concentrate the reception and the stage. The walk in is too short to do anything.. She was proposing the balloons and sashes decoration, including making full use of the DG flower stands and tealights..
Oh.. I asked her to remove that love signage with the bride & groom names. My HB and I dun like it.
We removed the budget for the wedding favours for the decoration. Cos I noted most often, I dun keep nor use the wedding favours I brought home myself.. So chocolates from DG is good enough.
The decoration will be kept as memory in the photos..

Novel,
I plan to put in words like: "It's the happiest day of my life. Please be punctual" or " Appricated if reply by date" (i saw this fr forum). But my FH want it to be the trad way, so I didn't put in anything extra.
Ray,
Can i've the contact for your decorator? I tot to ask frens to do.. but a bit troublesome. So it's better to ask a pro.

Hi purelyz,
You can contact Rachel (Pink Tangoes) at 91800506.
Just said you can recommended by Mandy (the one from Dragongate). She remembers me deeply cos DG spoke to her about me.
Anyway, I yet receive her drawings about the deco, she will only fax to me when she finished drawing.
Hi Levynn,
The decorator is the one who helped DG with their existing deco, apparently DG changed their deco once every 2-3yrs. My wedding date is in 17/09.
Oh.. The decorator seems to be doing not only decoration, they also provide wedding favours.
I saw that they have this small drawstring pouch, its very nice but cost more than $2/each...sigh..
I was joking with her that I dun mind having wedding favours at a budget of $0.50/each, my budget very tight..cos I allocated budget for video/photographer, wedding deco, bridemaid's gifts, the red packets & the red wine..Already in the red colour acounts..
Hope the info will help!! Cheerios.

Hi Bluey,
Dunno when the decorator will fax over to me, cos I only met her up on last Saturday. I think the decorator already has the impression that I'm pushy, so give her a bit of space and time. Next week yet to receive, then I start to bug her.
I rem you have booked your florist very long ago..I tot you have your plans already??
Mine will be different cos no flowers involve..flowers very ex..although the decorator said can use flowers, but will be out of my budget.
Like d woof, I told the decorator that I just want to lighten up the dark colours at Ballroom A, as the carpet is dark red and the flowers on their flower stands are bright pink...
It should be something like Claire's photos.. the balloons decoration but I will have lesser cos the walk in is short.

Hi! Am back from BKK...was relaxing, and ex at the same time coz all we wanted to do was enjoy ourselves. In the end, spent a bit more than expected, but was a great break. Ppl still cant believe we spent 5 days in BKK. They're like, what on earth do u do there for 5 days??? Hehe...since before we leave everyone was like "must work hard ah!", so we say we working v hard lor!
We used the existing stands from DG and my coordinator fren got a florist in to do the balloons on the stands. The florist also did the big table bouquet, reception table, added leaves to the stage backdrop and provided rose petals for flower girl and tables. Cake decor done by FH aunt, table vase w number and photo table done by coordinator. We bought all the roses ourselves for them to use. Not sure how to calculate the cost since it's not all done by 1 person. Tea lights will be really pretty, but will be cleared off before/after first dish. All our vases w table no we just left on recep table and guests can take them home after the dinner if they like
I actually feel the florist that my friend found is reasonable and works within time constraint. If anyone's interested, I'll give u my coordinator fren contact. She's said she's advertised here, so maybe I'll look it up on the site before putting her name up.

ok, found her company. It's wedding creation. My contact is Emily, can say Claire rec. if you like what they did with the DG ballroom.
That reminds me, Emily will be the coordinator on AD. Liaise with Tony or Emily (I suggest Emily). He's the new manager (transfered from another ODS restaurant).
Sorry abt the Emilys...my FH said before wedding, he never knew any Emily and suddenly he knows 2...

Hi Levynn and d woof,
WE can only go down to "inspect" when its our AD.
Whenever I ask DG will there be any weddings or can I pop by and see, they keep saying there is no need.
It could be due to the fact that DG has held many weddings and its our first time having our weddings. Then they think that we are overzealous.
