Chick - I heard you have to keep the bangles from the bangle ceremony on throughout the wedding day. Can only take them off 3 or 5 days after the wedding. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Sphire - What a waste we missed each other at Shereen's. I would have loved to have you sit in and offer your 2cents worth about the make-up!
Hey, I saw photos of Oriental's new themes and I now see what you mean. Sadly for me, if I wanted to add this and that to the decor, Hilton said it'd cost me.
Re. tailoring, SK once posted the contact of a person called Rani who does tailoring. Her no. is 62451479. The post is on this page:

Re. Shanti - I was talking to her about setting a date for a trial. She digressed and talked about how different BTBs are asking for the same dates. She mentioned 8 Dec and a person by your name (I have a feeling it could be you). But she added that she'll be arranging a trial for the both of you and pending which, who wants to confirm a booking with her. Do you want to give her a call to check about ur trial date dear?
Oh btw, she also shed some light about the 1hr window for the thaali tying. Apparently if the window is 9am to 10am, then the ceremony will probably begin at 8.30am (or thereabts) so that the thaali bit will fall w/i that 1hr window. I told her but no one is going to be there at 8.30am except family and helpers becos guests will follow what's on the invite i.e betw 9am to 10am. But she said that's usually the case. Guests will only be there in full turnout to see the impt bits - brides in their wedding saree and the thaali tying.
Fyda & Suhana & Angelic - Don't have any pics of Shanti's works but if you go to Stylemart and you ask to see them, they'll show you a photo album of her works.
Style Weddings mag also features this couple and the bride had her reception make-up (where she is wearing the white lehenga and the red one)done by Shanti. Not sure if Shanti also did the make-up for the morning event (where the bride is wearing a cheongsam). Managed to find their photos at their PG's website.

Angelic - Shop in Style, the accessories store in the same row as Stylemart and nearest to it has got accessories for rental. I was quoted about $120 for the full set - long necklace, choker, tikka, earrings.
