Indian wedding Services in Singapore

Jus received my contract from Oriental. Wow... looks scary.. 25 pages of rules and regulations and etc.. Now that I hv the contract, my mind is running "Right or wrong... sign or don sign".

Chickz
Hv forwarded u Edmund's package. Its only a 6hr service charges. Requested from Kelvin but he's booked for the 15th. Just enquired if he's avaliable on the 8th. Awaiting reply. Also mailed Johnathon from Expressively*oHo. He's in australia. Awaiting he's return. VG not yet. May enquire from MirrorCreation. Tht's abt it for my list so far. FH is saying don spend so much on VG and PG. Wait end up not taking any of the above. Find Edmund's charges is really reasonable.
 


Hey Sphire!

That's great news! I bet you must be so relieved to get one item out of the way!!! So the inauspicious period to buy anything for the wedding or make any bookings ends 19 Aug is it? Or is it 17 Aug?

And this Kelvin you talk about, is this Kelvin from Lighted Pixels? He's already booked for 15 Sept NEXT YEAR???? Wow!!!
 
Rany
I think the good month starts 16th Aug. After tht cn book. Jus checked calendar this morning.. kekkeke.
Yup.. Kelvin from LP is fully booked. Unexpected. Looks like I got to book my PG fast if I want a good one.
Hv u booked ur banquet?
 
Stress...

We broke the news of the hotel confirmation to his parents and sis.. immediately sis starts protesting. I hv to keep telling them that financially we are stable and hv considered A-Z of everything. I felt the sis was against the banquet... or rather holding a dinner... and his dad against holding wedding in temple. I dont c a point in the arguement at all. In the first plc his sis had a banquet for her wedding in Cheverons where his mum has to pay for it. Here my FH and myself hv planned everything taking into consideration of $$ and life after marriage. Both of us will be footing everything by ourselves with not a cent from parents. Tis is the first step into married life. We feel tht we hv to take care of our own desires. I feel tht we are better off to spend more and get wht we really want as we cn pay for it... rather than his sis holds a cheap dinner and get parents to pay for it. Really disappointed in his family. On the other end,.. my family was cool abt it. All my mum said that "its once in a lifetime thing. Hope both of u hv really considered pro and cons. If u cn really afford and pay for it and still not be financially unstable after the whole wedding.. go ahead".
 
sphire: poor thing...i can imagine how u feel...a wedding is supposed to be what the bride and groom want...and realize their dreams of a perfect wedding...but i wonder why for so many indian families it seems like its the parents turn to achieve their desires by trying to dictate everything...
nvm gal...as long as u know u have made the right decision, go all out...since u are footing the bill and everything...when it comes to the actual day and everything goes well, they would have nothing to say..i've had the same experience b4 where family was not too happy abt hosting it in a hotel and we went ahead and no regrets...so cheer up gal

Hey Sphire!

Sorry to hear about the drama! I can understand the issues of costs in holding a banquet at a really good hotel. But quite honestly, if your fiance and you are confident in handling the expenses of both the temple wedding and the banquet and are footing the bill for the ENTIRE wedding, I think you should do it the way you both want it. It is afterall your money and you're doing what you want with it. It's good to "consult" both sides of the families and get their views but I think they just need a little bit more time to warm up to the idea of a big hotel banquet. They're not against it like as in they refuse to be present at the banquet, right??? Out of curiousity, how does his dad prefer you get married if not in a temple?

You're not alone, dearie. The budget and wedding preferences are a point of contention for my mom and my fiance & I as well. My fiance and I prefer to save our money for our future (house, holidays, kids, etc) so we're really watching our budgets for the wedding. We both prefer a temple wedding with reception thereafter. No banquet. But my mom insists on the banquet. There is no way we can afford one but cos my mom wants it she's offered to pay for it, in addition to the temple arrangements and reception. We're still against the idea of her footing the bill for the banquet because at her age, she should be thinking about saving for retirement. She's already 61!! But she's adamant and we can't make her drop the idea of a banquet.

Sometimes I throw my hands up in the air in exasperation and scream "it's not my wedding anyway, why should I care?" Hahahah!

But as for your question, no we haven't booked our banquet yet. Will do so when my fiance's here. My mom has gone from insisting on a hotel banquet to compromising to a restaurant (my fiance and i feel that if we're going to HAVE to have a banquet, we want a restaurant atmosphere where guests feel free to mingle) to now going back to her original (a hotel banquet)!!! This new development took place just over the weekend. I'm too tired to do battle with her so I'm leaving this to my fiance to sort out with her.
 
Infinite,

can you teach me how to be succint?? you said everything I was trying to in just 6 lines. I don't even want to count how many lines I wrote. Hahahaa!!

But I do agree with this tradition that seems predominant with indian families. I can't fathom it either!!! It drives me up the wall this tradition!! They had their wedding day (and their chance to do whatever they pleased with their big day!) so let us have our own, dammit!! Grrrrr.....
 
Hey ladies... thanks for the support.
Tis is wht both my FH and I want.. and we r footing for it. So dont c a point in an arguement with his sis esp. I assume she is not happy with our progress. Or rather jealous that we cld get wht we want. She kept harping that she actually wanted a london cab for her wedding and her dad din allow. Cos he was a taxi driver once...linked. She also wana to hv say something and feel impt in the process. She even told us to get clothes for everyone.. which is not our intension at all. And his dad wants a new suit when we thot he cld wear the same one which he got for his sis wedding. I wanted to tell him... hellooo the groom is gonna be wearing 2nd hand suit from the bridals. I jus feel his family is jus so selfish and only concern on wht they r getting in return rather than wht we really want to offer.

Rany - as for u.. banquet is wht ur mum wants. The only fact is she's aging and needs the money for herself. Y not tell her that u hv enquired many hotels and they are already booked. Try having customary and setup plc like a banquet. OCC is actually very grand and beautiful. If u want, I cld pass u the quote. If u hv banquet and customary separately, cost could go up to 60K to 80K. If u put in 1 location, the cost may go down. Tis was 1 option we were considering. After factoring his family and my family size.. we really need the tank road hall. Therefore we split.

rany: haha...ya we said almost the same thing so that sphire can read the summarised version and the one with details
happy.gif

tell me abt them wanting it to be THEIR event...was so shocked when i found out that an aunty of mine broke down and cried when she realized that she was not getting her way in having a grand wedding and her poor son had to give in cos he couldn't bear to fight over of all things a supposed 'happy' event...and who is the victim-the poor bride of course...
 
for those of u deciding over a PG...strongly strongly recommend hilarion goh...he did our rom and though he is pricey i love his efficiency...he arrived 1 hour b4 the arranged time so that he would be punctual and he even started taking photos earlier of me getting ready in the journalistic style...and the event finished at 5pm but he delivered the photos to the hotel at 8pm that very day! and it felt really nice to view the photos immediately when memories are still fresh
happy.gif
 
Infinite
The groom is mummy boy... yup poor bride of his.
Does Hilarion Goh has a website?
If u dont mind, cn email mi ur pic?
 
Sphire- i soo agree with rani and infinite. Sighz.. i juz cant understand why we are not allowed by society to get married the way we want. The older generation (i feel) is too preoccupied about what other people will say. If it was up to me n my FH, we would have a very simple wedding, surrounded juz by people we love. We would spend the money that we save from not having a grand wedding, fully on home deco and honeymoon. sighzzzzzzzzzzz.. That's wat we really want. BUTTTT our parents will not hear of it. Hence we got to get a renovation loan etc etc

Anyway here are my details:

Temple wedding- 25 nov 2006
Christian wedding + dinner - 26 nov 2006 (pines)
MUA- Looks
 
Hi gals..hang in there..guess we are all in the same boat..if up to me, i'd much rather do a simple one like Sarah and spend the $$ on honeymoon and other stuff to pamper ourselves.. But we have to put ourselves in our parents shoes as well sometimes.. To them this is a big thing and the way i look at it, if doing this their way makes them happy, i'll do it..considering how they've brought me up..done things unconditionally etc..So give and take...of course within some limits..dun wanna spend the next 10yrs clearing wedding debts :-)

Hey infinite can share Hilarion Goh's charges please?

Btw Sphire..here are my details:

Temple: 17th June 2007 (Tank Rd)
Church: 30th June 2007
Banquet: 30th June 2007 (Raffles The Plaza)
BS: Z'Wedding
PG &amp; VG: So lazy, yet to start :-(

Agree with Chick. Parents do hv dreams abt their kids weddings. We r not goin overboard by saying no relatives or no temple weddings. We considered all factors and came up with the whole wedding details. Yet parents hv many views. His father told us to cancel the temple wedding and hold the whole ceremony in the hotel. He also informed us not to call all relatives. His mum is against. I think my mum will be against also. His sis even better. Told us jus go ROM and register our marriage. Hey come-on... I'm not eloping with the guy I love. I want it to be a joyous occassion where I'm annouced to be his wife infront of all loved ones. Wedding is once in a lifetime thing. If I dont do it the way I want and also considering everyone's feelings, I cn never do it again. After 8yrs being with him, 5yrs of planning and 3yrs of research... this is where i stand....upset and disappointment with his family.
 
HI all, just to update u o my trial with Shanthi,

It went well. Her foundation is very natural and she mixes it from a palatte to get ur exact tone. She does alot of blending for the eyemake up and also doesnt mind if you give her your own lipstick shade that you like. For my hair, I think Im opting for a more modern up do with jasmine and roses. We'll see how it goes on the day. As far as accessories goes, I have my owm but I do know she has a nice temple jewellery set.
 
sphire- hugzz..im sure things will be better soon. i remember being sooo stressed when all the details were being fixed. Things do get betta :-)
 
Sarah. Hope so lady. My MIL jus dropped another bomb shell. She wanna discuss with my mum to c how else 'interesting' we cld do the wedding and dinner. My mum said if she doesnt want us to decide, ask her to foot the whole wedding and we jus play our character as man and wife on the wedding day. My FH and myself are jus goin to go ahead with our plans.

OK... tis will be my last mail on bragging abt his family. Don want it to upset mi further.
 
Last thurs, the left side of my face broke out!! I had like 8 to 11 pimples there. And a few more on the other side. I havent had a breakout like this for no reason since like sec sch days. I got soo worried that it wasnt gonna be a one time breakout..that the pimples are gonna keep on coming. I went to see the doc who said that it was acne and gave me panoxyl and antibiotics. The panoxyl worked wonders n by sad i onlt had four left. But it has left my skin so dry now. I've been tryin to moisturize it well. And there are some black marks left over. All this 3 months b4 my weddinG!! My skin isnt lookin its best n im so sad. Sighzz..

I was plannin to go facial at Looks next week. Hope some miracle can be done to clear up my skin!
 
Sphire - Geez! "How to make the wedding more interesting??" I'm really relieved to hear your mom is behind you all the way. It's good to have that support. And you know what, don't feel bad about venting. It's better than bottling it up.

In fact, I started a blog. The intention was so that I can keep my friends abroad posted of how things are with me. And if and when I move to Perth, it would be a good way to keep in touch with my friends here. But I found that all I could blog about was the frustrations I was feeling with my mom and the wedding! Feel free to read. Hope it makes you feel better. theweeyapper.blogspot.com

My details are mostly tbc until hopefully end Aug. But here's it anyhow:

Banquet Date: 1 Sept 2007 (tbc)
Banquet Loc: Vansh (tbc)
Banquet PG: Jonathan Ho (tbc)
Banquet VG: Nil
Banquet MUA: tbc
Wedding Date: 1 Sept 2007 (tbc)
Wedding Loc: Sri Maha Mariamman Temple - Yishun (tbc)
Wedding PG: Jonathan Ho (tbc)
Wedding VG: Nil
Wedding MUA: tbc
Bridal: tbc

Eeeks! That's a whole lot of TBCs. Btw, Hilarion Goh's webby is www.hilariongoh.com

Sarah - Sorry to hear about the breakout. Have you been feeling stressed about the wedding/home reno/work? Glad to hear the medication is working. Don't worry too much about the dark spots. They fade over time. I reckon in 3 months, they would have lightened up. And there's still concealers that can help even out the spots on your actual day. I'm sure Bubbly can help you with that. Not to worry, dear.

Btw, who are you getting to decorate your banquet at Pinez? Are you engaging the Pinez' decorator? Or an external decorator?
 
Hi Sphire &amp; everyone! Thanks for your invitation. U guys are so far ahead in your wedding preparations...hehe i am still searching for a suitable venue for my reception. Last weekend, I dropped by at JB to do some shopping but ended up going from one Bridal studio to another to check out on the Wedding photoshoot package. The packages are reasonably priced and their gowns are gorgeous...But the only catch is that most of the time their makeup doesnt suit our indian features and that they don do traditional indian costumes...So mite have to spend money on bringing in an Indian MUA...So many things to consider...Also, i tried looking locally for an indian studio...found Susiee bridal house (www.susiee.org) and creative studio (www.creativebeauty.com.sg). Please check out those websites and give me some advise ladies...
 
Hi Sarah,
If i am not wrong, u are having your banquet at Pines? Can u provide more details? I was checking out their website and found the place to be very nice...Mite be interested...
 
Hi Kayla
Welcome on board. There are so many indian bridals around?.. din know.

Rany - Will visit your blog. I'm thinkin of starting one too. Or to create a website on its own. Thinking of maintenance...sian.

Sarah - R u getting the Bentley?

hi sphire, sorry for the long delay...have not touched the comp for so long due to the stretch of school hols...anyway seems like hilarion has already answered ur question abt the website
happy.gif
 
Kayla- hi n welcome! yup im having it at pines. Booked the place beginning of this yr. Umm..they provide 70% of the invitation cards, food can choose from gayatri or riverwalk tandoor. Yes, im gettin the car as well Sphire.
The package also includes gifts for the guest.Hmm wat else.. free flow of drinks.

I loved the place, it was very nice n cozy. And before the whole event starts there is like a mini reception outdoors beside the balroom. You can make an appointment n go down personally to have a look and find out more. Is there anythin else u need to know?
 
Hi Infinite - Its okie gal. Yup he has. Mmm... looks like we r not the only ones in tis forum...kekeke.

Sarah - The place is nice. Went there for a bridal show. There's where I was conned by 1 BS. FH din like the place. He said celling too low. The bentley was tempting.
 
8 days to go. At this point, I think I should just move to tekka. The number of trips I have made there will last me a life time
 
Hi Sarah, thanks for the info babe...Next question, whats are the prices like? hehe...actually the wedding season is coming...i am sure there are many indian brides around but they dont usually go on forums to discuss their wedding plans. My wedding's in april next year...and i have to come up with the wedding plans myself since my fiance's from london and he will only to here for the wedding...i am already getting stressed out man!!! its like i am the wedding planner plus the bride...it gets more irritating when the vendors don get back to me quickly thus delaying everything.
 
Hi ladies,

I'm glad to have chanced upon this thread. I just had my ROM in July and a planning for my traditional wedding in July next year. Like all of u, i'm looking for solutions in order to fulfill my dream wedding. I hope you gals dont mind me joining in this discussion...
 
Mabel - Butterfiles are developing?...kekeke Rest... rest.. have a real goood rest.

Kayla - dont stress yourself too much. Things will jus unfold infront of u at the right time. Jus do your part as much as possible and moments will arrive. I'm a good example. Never thot of Oriental at all.. here I'm with it since last month.

Hi SK. Welcome on board.
 
thanks, Sphire....

here's probably what i need to decide and certainly could use help on:

Wedding: Set for 21st July 2007 ( saturday )
I'm Sikh so its gonna be held at the Sikh temple in Towner Rd

Dinner reception: Planning to have it on 22nd July. Venue not decided yet but i sort of like the Hyatt package. Have an appointment with them next week to find out more..

Things i need to figure out:

Wedding shopping: To do it here or got to India.
As much as i hear that there's more variety in India and stuff is cheaper, i think it may come up to about the same when i include air fares, accomodation etc...I loved my ROM sari which i got from stylemart but for the wedding, i plan to wear a lehenga.

I know i want to wear a lehenga for the wedding reception but would like it to have a modern twist ( like a fitting mermaid cut or sumthing ).
Am also considering an evening gown but not sure how to go about it. Would it be cheaper to buy my own material from Arab street etc and get it sewn? ( as i'm probably not gonna wear it after the wedding, dont want to spend too much on it ). Anyone know good tailors?

I've seen that some of you have signed for bridal packages. May i know how much these costs and what you get in these packages? I would love to have pre-wedding shots taken in a wedding gown/evening gown etc. I wont be able to wear my wedding outfit before the actual day of the wedding so i'll probably need to rent clothes for this.

For my ROM i got Rashidah from peninsula plaza to do my make-up. i wasn't very happy with my first trial and went back to her for a second. But i must say i'm very happy with the way the make-up turned out.

Used Jayce from jaycephotography.com for my ROM but am thinking if using someone else for the actual day so that there is a variation on my photos. any suggestions?

sorry for the lengthy post but you input would be very much appreciated
happy.gif
 
Hi SK,
Going to india sounds like a wonderful idea!!! U can get all the wedding essentials there...Why don u find a tailor in India itself? U could get the material from Singapore or India. But then again for Mermaid cuts better to go for ready-made ones. You may even come across other designs that mite entice you while you are window-shopping.

I am also in the same boat as you...looking for advise and recommendations on bridal packages and venues etc...he he...
 
hi girls, how are all of you?? I have so much to catch up...

Mabel, glad you liked Shanti's makeup. Feeling really excited for you...just a week to go ya..how are you feeling at this moment??
You'll be having 2 days of ceremony before the wedding right?? That's the thing i love abt hindu weddings..got so many ceremonies..so fun and the bride gets all the attention!! Hahaha..

Sphire, hahaha..you got the table up and running..i have been sleeping on it for a long time..sorrie!!!
Oh..I've seen Oriental's ballroom, really nice..but it was out of my budget. I am sorry to hear abt your MILs and SILs....i hoping everything gets sorted out soon!!

Rany, will check out your blog ya!! I want to start one too but agree with Sphire..hate the maintanance...too lazy la me!!

Hi Kayla and SK, welcome aboard..I am married but love to linger around this thread...

Just an update on what's happening here.. 2 weeks from now me and hubby will be driving down to San Francisco for a short holiday...and sometime 1st week of Sept, we'll be having our housewarming.
 
Hi Kayla and welcome

You mentioned that your FH is from London? So is mine... Will you be moving to London after the wedding?
 
SK - Hyatt is known for its indian chef. Yummy.. initially wanted to take Hyatt... but din like pillars in the ballroom. Some of their other rooms are nice thou. Which room are u taking?
I would love to go india for shopping too but dont want waste my annual leave (very precious)on it when the cost is gonna be the same. Like wht Kayla said.. u cld get everything done in india itself.
If u wanna pre-wedding photoshoot.. u cld checkout LOOKS.. they hv a variety of wedding gowns and lengahs. U may also go ala-carte. To ur preference. Otherwise u cld window shop at Tanjong Pagar.

Kayla - wht kind of banquet spread r u looking at? Hotels? U wanna pass mi ur email.. cld sent u Shanti's contact.

Holly -WB. My venue is settled. Goin to sign contract on the 9th. Even to fix the date of signing had prob with MIL. My trouble with ILs is beginning. My mum came to my rescue... love her. Thot my mum wld be the prob. I'm wrong... greatly wrong. Enjoy your holiday. Happy that u hv settled ur home and warming it up already.
 
Hi Holly,
I hear everyone complementing your wedding pics. Do me mind sharing them with me? [email protected]

Hey, Kayla...Glad to know others in the same boat as me. Not too keen on going to India for shopping. I travel there very often for work. Although you would think that i should take this as an opportunity to squeeze in time for some shopping, its very difficult when i have meetings from morning till night. Also, its no fun shopping alone for this stuff...

Sphire, may i know what, where is LOOKS? U mentioned that they rent lehengas...Is this a bridal studio? Do they have wedding and evening gowns?
 
Updates... updates..

Today goin to LOOKS with my collegues to do threading. At the same time wanna check out the gowns.
12th Aug - Appt with Forest Production, Don to checkout on their videography(TBC). Guess its gonna be Forest Pro. or Yappie*.
19th Aug - Going to pay balance deposit to Yvonne Creative (going to battle for photos)..(TBC)
26th Aug - Appt with Bubbly for trial makeup and to check out packages she cld offer.
9th Sept - Goin to Oriental to sign contract.
Have not made appt with Edmund yet to see his photos.

Mi got to sign all packages by end Sept. Cos our guru.. astrologer said Oct 06 - Mar 07 is not a good month for mi.
Everything except the 9th Sept will be done without my ILs knowing. If they ask, I'll jus say book already.
 
We aren't expecting many guests for the reception ( around 150-180 pple max ) so i don't think its gonna be the Grand Ballroom. Will only know which room we are looking at after our meeting next week. Will keep you posted though...

Where is LOOKS located? Do they have a website?
 
Kayla- Min 30 tables, about 60++ per head.

Sk- Looks is along the stylemart row. She has a studio upstairs where she keep her gowns etc.The make up artist at Looks, Bubbly, was telling me about the great selection of lenghas at Delhi it seems they are gorgeous.. the price would depend on what u actually pick. :-) Hope that helps. Oh and Looks does not have a website yet.
 
Hey Holly: Yes I did like Shanti's makeup. I will be having the bangle ceremony cum dinner party at home for my family and my fiance's family who will be down from London by then. At the moment, Im in a bit of a panic cos of the Heathrow airport scare. If this had happened next week, My fiance would have been so delayed and might have missed the wedding. So, I cannot help but be a little stressed

Kayla: Im in the same boat as you...my fiance is from London and is coming down 2 days before the wedding!!!!! I've had to do all the planning heremyself and had to do it all in about 2.5 months. So....dont worry, if you need help...we are here for you.
 
hi sk...if u r looking for bridal studios...golden horse is pretty good also for indians as they can do makeup suited for our skin tone...they have two outlets..one in yishun and the other in tampines but ppl i know did it in yishun and it turned out well..though i read in other forums that tampines has much nicer gowns..
abt the cost...it varies from place to place...ppl like frederick lee i think charges 10-20k for his photoshoot packages since he has exclusive gowns but places like golden horse have it for abt 2500 plus...
as for lenghas my personal opinion is that its safer to go for ready made ones since each cuts fits differently and u would feel 'safer' putting down money for it cos sometimes the end product may not be the same as what u imagined...
 


Mabel- First of all, Advance Congrats to u and your FH!!! arent you supposed to be catching up on your beauty rest instead of coming to the forum...hehe...how are you feeling babe? i have butterflies in my stomach just imagining what you are going thru...aiyo! My family is very happening u know...my mum always teases me that she's going to sew bells to the bed sheet for my wedding night. Cos of her, my FH and i are thinking of booking a wedding nite suite. Ya we indians have alot of ceremonial things to get thru...Some of the traditions make no sense to me. For eg, i told my mum that i wanted to wear the henna until 1/2 of my arms are covered. She said i couldnt do that with the bangles and that the henna must only be worn after the bangle ceremony!!! Yesterday, i called my FH abt the bomb scare...He was still sleeping when the news broke out.he tot i was pulling his leg!!! Now its going to be difficult to get the Uk visa and travel to London...More delays!!! Just remind your hubby to keep one copy of your wedding invitation card and your contact info with him on board the flight. Plus no bottled drinks...hehe... All the best gal...

Shantair- Ya i will be moving to London with my FH after the wedding. I always think abt that moment at the airport waving goodbye to my family...its going to be hard babe...Will you be moving there too? My FH works in Wandsworth,Surrey but we are thinking of moving to Mitcham. But his family stays at East London. Thats means i mite be alone when i arrive there...So frightening...

Sphire- My email add is [email protected]. Thanks alot!Will check out LOOKS this weekend.

Sarah- Thanks for the info. will book a viewing session with him.
