how's pauline??

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Penny

Sent...

Hi Ming

I was thinking of Classic... but will probably wanna ask Pauline to send me the theme pic again... collected ivory colour card liao... juz pass the cards to my printer yesterday... est. shld be 6" by 6", 3 folds.... why?

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Veron

Pauline is great.... very glad to have her as my coordinator...

 

[yming]

thanks yuki

i asked for the dimension coz i asking my good friend to do the artwork for me heee ...thought of asking Pauline for samples but too early right?

btw, is the classic theme fresh flowers?

 

[yuki_ko]

hi ming...

oic... if u ask yr friend to base on 6" by 6" should be quite safe... too bad, I dun have enough invite... otherwise, can pass to u one sample...

In fact, may need to ask Pauline for more... coz that time when I estimate... I told her 27 tables... but when I sit down to calcuate... go 31 tables... so now may not enough liao...

Classic theme... think using fake flowers...

 

[yming]

Yuki
i also think Classic & Enchanged themes very nice - Crystals also not too bad ...Oriental not so nice (dunno got changes anot)

so how's your preparations so far? very bz?

 

[veronliu]

anyone has any pics to share with me for HIPV??
my email is [email protected]
thanks.

[yming]

Hi RoundyBall

i had a simple ROM last Nov n went to Merchant Court for a lunch reception (not too bad) i only have 14 pax - hope this help

 

[pinkbear]

Hi Roundyball,

I had mine at ROM too and went to Marriot for beffet as well..ard 20 person..hope this info helps you too..

 

[sianzz]

hmm,thanks but my rom at 3++ ..so late liao where still have buffet??/sobsob...

 

[bellz]

Hi Roundyball,
Can try hi-tea or dinner buffet

Hope it may help..

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Roundyball

Depending on wat time is yr ROM mah... if lunch, then, it would be simple... juz go to any restaurant or hotel that u like and book for the table lor...

For mi, coz it's weekday Hi-Tea... not many hotels offered hi-tea during weekday or it's English hi-tea, which I dun really like... so I went to Oriental Hotel... quite a good spread at a reasonable price....

Hope this helps...

[yuki_ko]

Hi Ming

Suddenly, everything seems to flood over... like a lot of thing so to be done... not yet done... starting to feel the kan cheong-ness liao...

Haven't gone for my food tasting yet...

 

[yming]

Yuki

what are the things that you have not done? relax pretty bride-to-be ^_^

i thought food tasting should be earlier? btw, care to share what you have chosen?

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Ming

Long long list.... haven't confirm invite's artwork wif my printer... AB Box, not done yet, photo montages not finalise, have not discuss wif florist which flowers I want... haven't gone for food tasting... and it go on and on...

Think food tasting is abt 1 mth from wedding... shld be soon lor... Pauline hasn't call me yet..

How abt u? Care to tell me yr list of things to do? in case, i missed out anything... oops...

 

[kaye]

hi yuki,
such a conicidence to meet U in this thread.
now, I am planning for my next yr wedding dinner. now look look see see...
How U find holiday inn? in terms of service and the deco?

 

[yming]

My wedding in Dec – guess still a long way (countdown 8 months)

Ok what I have done lately

•Confirm my PS & AD – same photographer*
•PS in Sept* - already confirmed date
•MIL dress confirmed with same designer as mine*
•Mom’s dress still pending (same designer)
•My best friend will do my invite artwork*
•AB Box – you can either buy from gift shop or DIY*my best friend DIY her own*
•Photo montages – I am not having so its not a problem
•Florist – is yours from Bridal Salon? If yes, you can always called them to check* - my PS hand bouquet & corsage is taken care of by designer so I am not worrying
•AD hand bouquet, corsages, car deco* - same florist from my designer – nearer the date I will ask him to liaise direct with the florist* -he knows what is best for me
•Wedding shoes – bought it last week* just a pair for 3 dresses
•Already confirmed number of helpers on AD* meeting my good friend (also coordinating for my AD)this wed to discuss further
•Already confirmed drivers for bridal, brothers & sisters cars*

TIPS for DIY AB box if this is ok with you:
•Get 2 good tissue boxes
•Buy plain wrappers or colored ones to wrap them up
•Buy lace/fresh flowers/silk flowers to decorate the boxes

think you should get caterers for lunch reception (but not necessary) this is for tea ceremony

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Ming

Wow... looks like most of yr things more or less confirm liao hor... mine haven't leh...

For the AB Box, I already got ready all the 'ingredients' liao... juz haven't got the time to sit down and do it lor...

mi not having tea ceremony in the morning... so no lunch reception also... hehhee...

still gotta confirm my helpers... more or less confirm the most important 'positions' like, emcee, photographer, videographer liao... juz the helpers during the nite haven't confirm lor...

 

[yming]

hi Yuki

dont worry too much - i am sure everything will take place ^_^

i forgotten about emcee hahaha .....

for helpers just get people you are comfortable with .....

actually i believe whatever i prepare now - may have hiccups here n there - dont bother too much lor

just enjoy your BIG DAY ^_^

i am sure many brides agree with me - just enjoy!

 

[pinkbear]
