when's ur next appt with J&C?

Hi Smiley,
me kpo, when's ur next appt with J&C? when's ur customary date?

 

[oli]

Me will be next year. Probably in may or june. What about you, Wenn? I have not chosen the date with yet nor decided on the restaurant. Any recommendations for restaurant? As for the appt with j&c, it will be in november. Btw, how was your first appt? just call izzit? What next then? I am really blur....Btw, wenn, did you use the chinese calendar to choose the date? How to get it? Pls advice.

 

[wenn]

Hi <FONT COLOR="0000ff">Oli</FONT>
Wow, u signed up for package b4 finalising ur date??? My customary will be nov 03, initially was sep 03... changed it due to some clashes..

My 1st appt was very good, spent 3 hours there. Choose my WG &amp; EG liao. Going in may to settle trial makeup, fitting &amp; FH's suits.. Quite relaxed &amp; fun lor

Just call them to fix a date lor. But i think yours still early, so Cyn may want u to call &amp; fix appt later.. But no harm trying..

Yup, i got my dad's fren to choose the dates for me. The dates chosen must not clash with our horoscopes &amp; that of our parents, sister or brother or helpers lor.. u need contact can email me at [email protected]

I chose Noble House cos I like Tung Lok's food. You can find the listing of restaurants in the bridal mags like Wedding Travel, Her World or Female

 

[married]

hi gals

had just send u all some photos from my outdr ps. not sure if i missed anyone out??

oh wenn, u saw my gown

i did a lot of 'homework' b'4 deciding on the designs of my WG &amp; EG...glad 2 know it's gd enuf 2 b put on display...hehee...but of course credit mus go to cynthia for being able to tailor exactly wat i want...so rest of the gals, dun worry abt cynthia's skills....

forest: hope u can c the front n back view of my WG from the photos...u might have seen it at the bridal show too since wenn saw it...

oli:i dun usually put on makeup, so i was not used to having 'colors' on my face...hee...but my frens says it looks ok...so dun worry...it's more of personal preference...

jus for everyone's ref, think i got abt 10 corsages (incl hubby's) + wrist corsages for my 'jie meis'...car not included in the package thou'...

 

[oli]

I thot you have the date for year 2004 in chinese calendar. Hee....so have to go through a long process. Gosh!

Yupp! I signed up before finalising the date! Cos was so attracted to the WG designs and have gone for a few bridal shows. Think J&amp;C are very good so decided to give it a try lor!

Hee..you must share your experience with me at the end of the day! I am so happy for you that you have chosen Noble House cos Tung Lok's food is really good. I have heard alot about them!

Where is Noble House located? Any other recommendations?

 

[apple]

oh Oo.. i'm so blur

my PS is on 21 May! Trial mkup on 7 May, 2pm. sorri for the confusion ladies..

TkS roro.. hey, do u noe u can take pic with ur gown after u hv confirm.

Helo Oli.. nope i did not my package fr any bridal show.

for ur chinese wedding banquet, tink u shld first determine:
1. how many tables u r catering for
2. budget for each table
3. get at least 3 dates so tat more convenient when chking wif restaurants.

Yup smiley, most likely will be using own car for wedding day. how did u guess?

hey married.. it's great tat J&amp;C gave u wrist corsages for ur 'jie meis'. my package only hv corsages for men. hmm.. will try &amp; ask cyn on my next visit. thks for the tip!

 

[apple]

married! rec'd ur pics! they were great! i reali can't tell tat it was taken in sentosa! i've been to fort canning &amp; botanical garden. but feel tat these places r so recognisable (if u noe wat i mean)

hmm.. maybe i will consider sentosa for my PS too!

i lurve ur 2nd gown too! well, ur figure is GREAT which is y can carry the gown so well! *sigh* envy envy..

 

[wenn]

Noble House is at UIC building, in front of DBS hq building..

actually, my initial choice of 14 nov was taken, so we chose sep 03... then found that got clashes, so went back to change,,, so qiao 14 nov available again cos the other couple postponed theirs

 

[married]

[valen25]

gals.... if you want to know the chinese date of yr english wedding date, you can go to this website: http://www.mandarintools.com/calconv.html
it is a chinese-western calendar convertor.

 

[sklek]

Hi forest,

oic! no hurry then, I also encourage you to visit a few more bridals. Afterall, bridal is not a cheap investment

One personal tip though, every bridal have its own style, so try to restrict yourself to about 5 bridals or you might get confused lor

Hi valen25,
thank you! this site would be useful indeed. how's your search for your ring pillow?

 

[valen25]

Hi sklek,
I saw the ring pillows in taka.. quite worth it..only $20+.

but not buying yet though.. look around just to check at prices to decide if should ask mummy to sew.

 

[married]

morning forest

tried sending again but got error msg....ur mailbox full?? or...??
agree wif sklek, dun visit too many bridal shops or u'll end u getting confused...

tks everyone for the compliments...the credit shld go to eric. he managed to capture me at the nicest angles...

 

[roro]

hey wenn,
got ur email, thk U dear, *muack*

hi gals, just wanted to know, if we need to get nite shots, do we need to pay extra, since the PS hours is until a certain time rite.. correct me if I'm wrong.

and the hula exercise is good, i do 20mins everyday. waist area really feel "firmer"!

 

[sklek]

hi roro,

i did ask them about night shots coz we're keen to include that in our album. No extra charges, but the time to start is different. For example, if you're taking just day shots, the ps for indoors will start early (about 9am) and ends about 5pm. If you wan to take night shots, then the ps for indoors will start later (about 11am) and ends about 7pm. Hope this helps.

hi valen25,
you can also try your luck at KALMS and there's one shop selling wedding gifts at Marina Square (dun know if still around or not), but forgot the name liao

 

[wenn]

hi roro,

glad to help

great! the hula thing worked for u too!!

hi forest,
take ur time... but dun confuse urself hor

for me, i avoided all the bridal shops that my frens &amp; colleagues went too cos i dun wanna look like them

 

[valen25]

sklek..yeah..i did go to the marina square one.. and tt's the shop that's selling $88 and above for ring pillows...way too ex for me.

 

[forest]

hi sklek/married,
thanks for the tips... i will try to list those bridals tt fit the style i m interested in.. wun wan to end up being confused also!

married,
hmmm.. mayb the file is too big.. cos' hotmail only max 2MB... can u resend to [email protected]
sorry for the trouble!!

 

[forest]

hi wenn,
tat's another valid suggestion hor... i.e. not visiting the same bridals... wah.. for me, most of my cousins got married w/in this yr or 2.. so, i def hve bridals to avoid man!!!

 

[apple]

hi sklek, J&amp;C has arranged my PS time that i can hv nite shoot. yup, maybe i'll get to c u tat nite!

 

[wenn]

hi apple,
i went down to look for Cynthia yesterday,, i went w/o appt

collected my photos that Eric took the other day,,, but hor... not so nice,, cos can see the uneven colour tones on my teeth

i saw the Attitude Photography's album,, PS style is more like fashion spread.. but no touch ups,, can see freckles lor....

 

[sklek]

hi apple, so exciting! PS coming soon, remember to rest well, eat well

we'll be waiting to hear your experience

 

[roro]

Hi wenn, u mean u went for ur PS oredi..?? uhmm, dun worry lah, they will do touch up for U. the after effect will be different.

hi Apple, good luck &amp; enjoy the process!!!

 

[wenn]

Paiseh Roro, not PS... just that at the bridal show, Eric will take 3 photos of the couple lor

yup, they will do touch ups...

 

[roro]

thought i miss some parts...
anyway, pls scan and let us view k.. hehehe

 

[oli]

Hi Wenn, our EG are mtm so is it for us to keep after the wedding or must we return to j&amp;c for trademark purpose? Heee....anyone got idea on this? Thanks!

 

[oli]

The PS must be quite long and taxing. I really cannot imagine one whole day of phototaking. Btw, Wenn and roro, must we suggest the place for our PS?

 

[oli]

Hey Wenn, dun wori about the photos, you know something they always say that on the wedding day, the bride will always look the best. God is always so great!

 

[wenn]

Hi Roro

kekeke...

Hi Oli,
The MTM EGs are on rental... most of the time, Cynthia will sell them off in one of her WG sales

As for PS, it is up to u to suggest lor if u have some preference... if not, u can leave it to the photographer to suggest... yup, i know i shouldn't worry about the photos cos they will do touch ups.... just that i've got those kopi stains on my teeth

 

[roro]

hi Oli,
wenn is rite, but up to now, still no ideal where is the best place to PS.

hey wenn
start drinking Fresh Milk kekeke

 

[dong]

Hi married,
i'm about to sign up with J &amp; C. care to share your photos with me? [email protected]
Thanks in advance!
btw, is Eric a young guy who is quite tall? thot he shld be the one at the bridal show i went to last month 'cos there was this photographer who took shots for couples who attended their show.

 

[wenn]

Hi Dong,
U r correct, the guy in white shirt taking photos for couples is Eric. The other guy in khaki top, running around taking photos is one of the actual day photographers, Louis, i think...

 

[apple]

hi sklek &amp; roro, tks for ur kind words &amp; wishes! i need it! will definitely share my PS shoot experience with u guys. anyway, i'm kinda scared. i'm not veri fotogenic &amp; natural in front of camera. melt easily (perspire) when under the sun too. *sigh* hope i wil not wipe off all the makeup. *sigh sigh*

 

[wenn]

Hi apple,

Dun worry too much ok?
just relax &amp; let Eric take mei-mei pictures of u

 

[sklek]

hi apple,

yeap, u'll sure look fabulous! Ever hear brides always have those glows on their faces? Enjoy the process, feel glamourous and beautiful because you are

 

[roro]

hey apple,
just prepare watever u need before hand, like perfume, blotters, water, Facial cleanser etc..
i believe Eric will know how to "relax" U.

pray for good weather and be the mei-est bride!!!

ok gals, i'm gg to meet cyn later to choose my WG.. wish me good Luck!!! hope i can find one i like..... adios

 

[wenn]

Roro,
Good luck!
