Indian wedding Services in Singapore

do u use henna on the eve of temple wedding or on bangle ceremony day or the eve of bangle ceremony day?? is sutha jeya good?? hw are her charges like?
 


maha u shd get sutha for ur bridal henna. she is really good. i went for trial with her cos i have pirspiring hands n history of getting light colors whenever i had my henna on. she is really good henna artist as u can see from her henna blog most of the designs kind of intrigate and personally i like all hers' peacock. so cute!! plus the color that turn out for me was dark maroon. i was jumping up n down.. :D cos that was my 1st time in my life that i had tat kind of color in my hands. all my family members who came on my mehendi nite like her alot. she is so easy going and friendly. if u want to book her, pls do it asap.
 
btw maha u can either reach her through email but its better u call her directly. her Hp no is 90081170. im afraid she is still studying FT so get her asap b4 u get disappointment.
 
thanx hasshar..........i have spoke to sutha....she really is nice....but juz that i veru confused when i should put my henna......my wedding on dec 13, so bangle ceremoy should be on 11 rite? they say is if put henna after bangle ceremony very difficult coz the bangles will be moving, so should i put on the eve of bangle ceremony? if put eve of bangle ceremony will it be dark and nice till 13??confused!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,

I was at little india, and i was looking for costume jewelleries. Went to V2 creations, i must say they have great stuff, BUT i found them abit pricy. mY simple bangle set for only my ROM costs $60. and i stress on the word SIMPLE.
Then i ask abt the wedding sets that comes with everything lah, and the price for those STARTS at $600. and u must puchase like the FULL set. i already have choker and long chain, don see why i need extra, but she said cannot, must buy full set!! HAIZ.....
So i went walking and saw this shop.... its called SAM brothers, 159 dunlop st. At first i thot he would not have much stuff. then i went further in and spoke to the owner. He showed me wonderful sets. And the starting price is from $400 only. Plus if u see any designs u like in the mag, u can bring to him and he'll order it for u. and u dont HAVE to get the FULL set.
So cool!!
hope u guys find it useful!! ;)
oh yes, and to newbies, there is actually loads of stuff here, but u need to search abit lah. Whne i first joined, i read from like January postings, and there was sooo much stuff the girls shared with numbers and all.
Good luck!! ;)
 
my ROM is on the 18th August. Abit nervous!
Can I check for those who had their henna done with sutha, how much did she charge u guys?

Also where to get nice shawls to go with my evening gown?
 
hi angelic. it depends what kind of design u looking for. Her price is quite reasonable a/c to the service. if u look at her pics, u will knw y. personally i feel her designs are unique and intricate. i never seen such designs in my life. as i was v. satisfied with her work tat i gave little bit more that wat we agreed. firstly she disagree but later after everyone's say, she accepted it.

to me, i dont mind paying someone more wen u receive beyond certain level of expectation service. shes quite patient lady as she was with me till the end. im really satisfied with her job. tats y im recommending others tohave her. she's current upcoming artist (guess).
 
hi everyone. Im new to tis forum. Came to knw through my friend. I read all the comments from tis yr onwards. wow..really good place to check out on things.

well,i have book Sutha for my mehendi nite. It was recommended by one of my friend. My Big day is on coming Dec. im nt really sure of her service yet but it was told that she does good service and also her designs are great. i Fall in love with her designs at 1st sight. :D

as for the price range , it can be say worth it. I booked her kinda last min i guess although there's few more mths to go. But she managed to rearrange the time slot that it won't clash with other bride and her studies. Lucky me guess!!
 
Hi ladies, i'm an ex-bride from here

I bought my wedding jewellery set (traditional North Indian design) from a Bombay desginer for 500 plus. It includes everything, right up to anklets. It's very grand and pretty and I thought of selling it for $400 cos I'm not gonna use it anymore. So do get in touch with me if any of you are interested. They are very well kept in velvet bags. I only used them for 1 hrs for my solemnization. [email protected]

I also have flower baskets, wedding bears and a whole lot of wedding stuff if any of you want to buy. All in pristine condition. all the best

Thanks SK... i went to their website ,the pictures look good. Do you know if they have an inhouse MUA and hair stylist as well. Ive been asking my sister to checkout a few studios and she told me that some charge you only for photography and that u'll have to get your own outfit,MUA and hair done elsewhere. It would be good if they have a package which includes everything.Do you know if french bridal has had experience with indian brides?

Foe henna design, do you have to choose yourself & must it be diff design for each hand & leg?

Will it look nice even if its of diff design on each hand/leg?
 
skm, they have the comprehensive packages with eveything included. and they have shot for indian couples. you can go down ask to see sample albums of indian couples they have worked with.
 
after enquiring i came to knw all are her's own freeflow design. so i let her to decide the design for me.

to wat she told me , its up to us to decide whther to have same or differnt for both legs/hands but different would better to look into.

ya... i agree. Chandhiran is a VG who most of the times do videos only for chinese weddings and goes by the name of Chan. I saw his express highlights at one of the weddings. Nice and recommended by my chinese colleaques. Not sure about the fotographer though. Let me know soon ok!!

i have finally managed to get shanti's number....have also contacted daisy from creative...any of have tried daisy?....pls share yr comments....if you have any pics of trial make up, pls email to [email protected]

i have also engaged muthu's curry for my recep...photographer is saravanan and videographer is naren....done by studio photoshoot yest at skudai....hell of an experience....had some shits alonf the highway too...hehehehehe....do share yr comments....
 
Hi Tweetygal,
My PG is Saravanan too. Is he the william Saravanan? Coz I only noe him as Saravanan!

Actually, my PG was supposed to be Nasir but he played us out last min. He's not even in S'pore! Nw I had to get another PG & VG. Dunno if they are good also! Aiyah really disappointed with Nasir. I even paid him deposit.
 
hi angelic....i dont know if he's william as i also know him as saravanan...my fren engaged him for his daughter's function and i saw his works...quite impressive and it was my hubby's idea to engage his service...as for naren, he was recommended by saravanan...i dont mind as long as they knw each other and can coordinate things....if you want my PG ($70 per roll) and VG ($450 as mine is a church wedding) contacts pls let me knw....naren requires a deposit...i paid him $100....who's yr MUA dear....
 
Dunno whether its the same saravanan.For my ROM MUA, its my sis & her friend. They were students of cosmoprof & menaka. I already did a trial with them & turned out well.

Who's yours?
 
my rom was rani from jurong...but she wasn't good dear....for my AD i have shortlisted 2 - daisy from creative and shanti....will be fixing appts for trials....
 
Hi Tweety,

thanks for the tip..got a trial to attend with rani...hopefully it turns out fine..if not, im not gonna proceed....hearing loads abt spa alangara...is it really good?any websie to visit?

Btw gals, is it reasonable to pay $100 for henna for both hands? till the elbow?

Have engage a bridal coutoure for both my ROM and Hotel Reception after temple wedding...

Appreciate all your advice alot.
 
Tweety - sorry i dont have any trial pics with Shanti. Also, havent received my pics yet from William Saravenan - almost 2 months...
 
Btw, i used Daisy for my church wedding and dinner. Felt Make-up was a bit thick for the day, but dinner was good. If you are planning to get Creative - make sure its Daisy that attends to you and not any of her assistants. Personally think make-up is very subjective. What's good for one person may not be good for another. Not sure if you read some earlier posts - i used Rupini for temple wedding, but she gave me sub-standard service, which is why last minute i went to Daisy. So do your trials early and spell out exactly what you want. Cheers!
 
I booked William Saravanan too-No choice!
I heard he's rather slow in delivering pics coz he edits them one by one & also coz he holds a full time job.
 
Hi gals....William n Saravanan is one person. His name is William Saravanan. Piece of important advice.

Pls pls...i stress pls be very clear with him on cost and when u want ur pictures.

I may have briefly mentioned y i never recommend him but i'd like to stress again.

My wedding was in April and after promising to give us the pixs within a month we didnt hear from him. Then it became give me two weeks...then two weeks later, i didnt call neither did he call...third week i called and he says he been very busy...he needs two more weeks..this went on until it was three months and i gave him an ultimatum. I told him i want my photos in 10days. I also told him i do not want it to be a rush job. When Friday came (day i was suppose to collect the pix), i called him, he said he needed to check how many pix i wanted to develop. I got very angry...told him you shld hv checked tis earlier and not on the day u suppose to gimme the pix. He says tat i hv so many rolls....he took 53 rolls when we agreed on 24rolls for the whole wedding. It is his job to control the shoots (if its 5-10 rolls more, i cld still accept) but he took so many random pictures tat like i mentioned i prefered the few great shots taken by frens from their personal cameras. My frens had better angles then him being a professional. I was very dissapointed. His pictures r clear but so random and all are with the crowd...non tat r close up unless those tat we specially went to a corner and took. No candid close ups.

Very very dissapointed.
 
Ok back to my story....so Friday came he hadnt even started. I told him do as wat had been agreed. Tat's when he drops the bomb on me.

"Ya but we agreed 24 rolls and now its 53 rolls" he said. He added the cost is not wat we had agreed, its more. I was too shocked and told him i dun wish to talk to u anymore and got my husband to take over.

When my husband called him he held us ransom and said tat we had to pay for all the rolls since he had already taken. Tat was double wat we agreed. It's not in the hundreds...it was double in thousands.

We couldnt do anything cos he didnt wanna give us our photos.

We even have emails tat confirmed our agreements but he didnt keep to his word.

We had no other option but agreed to print 33rolls instead of the agreed 24rolls and paid for the 33rolls.

The next bomb was when he said he couldnt give us the photos in soft copy cos it's his property. We had so much of trouble with him and agreed to pay him $1000 more for our soft copy of the all the wedding photos.

I hate this guy. No moral or ethics.

But i'm glad i'm done knowin him and dealing with this character.
 
I've to add the photographer i used for my engagement was different cos William Saravanan was not available was excellent.

We got our photos in less than a month. His name is BALDEV and we used him for two events. Have been recommending him to many frens.

Dun have his number off hand but if you need his contact pls let me know.

He can even prepare slide shows.
 
Hi Gals,

After reading all the reviews here,very worriedly,I went for trial with Rani from jurong for my traditional engagment..it turned out not bad...actually she was very patient in asking me what i wanted and did accordingly...in fact she let me try a few different type of eye make up and asked me which one i preferred.....also,after getting all this tips from this forum...i told her not too heavy etc..and she did exactly as she was told..her eye make up was very nice as well...smokey eyes...she told me that for engagement day, my makeup would be heavier as for the trial she did it lighter....but i told her i would prefer it lighter and she said she will keep to it...so if u gals have certain preferences and want her to do it, i think she is really not that bad.....u just got to let her know ..she is flexible about it..

Hi Piggy, wow you are making me scared now. I think we only told him we wanted 7-10 rolls since we had the church wedding pics as well. I cant believe he made you pay extra for soft copy, shouldnt be. I am confused though - why should he hold you to ransom to the number of rolls? He's using digital camera wat, he can delete anytime
 
Btw, we were told by him that he quit his job as of 5 Aug and would start working on our pics. Let me go chase him and find out if he delivers faster now that he's not working
 
Hey all..wow...alot of stories...alot of things goin on..am so outa touch..my wedding is less than 3mths away and i havent done anything! i havent even gotten my Reception outfit or done any make-up trials! Havent even paid deposit for my venue and reception is on dec 1st..am getting married in a place i have never been to before and doubt i am gonna get a chance to see the card even! Feel so lost...and I am such a procastinator..sorry..just venting... Am going to go with Bubbly from Lookz for my photoshoot...hope it turns out well..have seen her work..looks rather good..so keeping fingers crossed...

piggy-Agree on Baldev..am hiring him too..he takes fantastic pics..
Sha82--well we both danced to Don(the old one)..now do u remember? have seen u around a couple of times.but havent spoken in so long..

To the rest..all the best with preps...am really fretting now!
 


I cancelled William Saravanan ! He asked y & my hubby told him he heard bad remarks abt his work ethics from friends. Guess wat? William Saravanan didn't deny.He just said ok.
