Hi Bortei Khan,
M still thinking of the march in song but dun think will be using those songs provided by the hotel. Ya, the pralines not bad but very common. I liaise with Agnes and she is very friendly. How abt you?

Hi Hush Puppies & Bortei Khan,
I saw the potpourri during the bridal show and confirm that it will be one of the choices for gifts. Bortei Khan, u blur nvr see meh???
I've even asked whether can have both the chocolate pralines and the potpourri. No problem!
Wow! Jan! That's very fast! U must b excited. Mine is in June, still a long way...
I've booked my bridal package from Yvonne Creative. Wat abt u? Hv u chosen your gowns? As for actual day photography, not yet...
I've liaised with Agnes too. Very friendly and accomodating.

Hi Cutie & Bortei Khan,
Yup, i m very excited abt it. Have told Agnes to state the contract as 21 tables first. Nearer to the date then confirm. I've just book my package from bridal veil. Their bridal package is very comprehensive and their gowns are beautiful. Also heard that BV will be raising their prices on 1 Sept. Hoe much is your package fr Yvonne Creation? Quite x rite? Bortei Khan, how abt u?
Initally, I book the ariel & taeping room but found it to be too small, so has to change the venue...

Hi Cutie & Bortei Khan,
I think my eye got stamp oso. Agnes didn't show me the potpourri. hmm... will ask her some day.
I think BV is ok, considering the photographer is quite reputable. Anyway it's once in a lifetime thing so spent abit more lor...
On the guest list and invites, guess i will wait till 2 mths before, no hurry. Mine day is on a Friday, how about all of u??
Hi Charcoal, yours is on a wed, not quite worth it rite since the price of wkend package is the same as wkdays. Did you negotiate for goodies??

I did ask for things but sometimes also pai say lah..alot of people there I know ley...even though the Catering Sales dept has changes...last time, I use to be sitting just across their dept! But Agnes is new...Jassie was there when I was working there..

hi cuties & charcoal, is the packaging for the potpourri the same as the pralines? They say that they will arranged the pralines to have alternate colors, so in this case, we can have alternate colors plus potpourri izit?
The oriental offer is really attractive and will save us some $$. Did any of you saw the new backdrop? Is there any wording on the backdrop itself?? like the couple name or just some simple wishes...

Hello Bortei Khan,
Was busy the whole morning...didnt get to log in until now..
I have bout 35 tables..I took one additional room and fd tasting..was trying to get them to give me one more night free stay! Heehee...dunno if can or not...haaa...some other perks am still trying to get..see whether can or not..gotta talk to them..
Hush puppies, I think you can even have your name printed on the tag of the potpurri bag..
its actually quite nice...something different from the usual pralines that hotels normally give..
So I guess all of you will be holding your big day at the Oriental either early or mid of next year?

hello all,
wah, I din visit for a while and there are all these additions!
Anyhow, welcome to the thread Hush Puppy, Michelle and Charcoal (and anyone I missed)..
Din know that we can have BOTH the pot purri AND the pralines! I'll ask for it the next time I see Jassie... I remember that the pot purri came n 2 forms at the show - one in a small bag, the other is a cedar flower. My friend had the cedar flower for her wedding at the Shang, it was nice. hmm.. now it gets me thinking....
Charcoal,
you can trade in your 1st Anniversary dinner for an additional night stay.
Gowns gowns gowns.. anyone going to the Divine Show this Sat?
Alhana,
Good to see you in the thread again.. How r u? Thanks for the pic again.

Helloooo tiara,
No time no hear from you!!!! Where hv u been....????
Now that you've signed up wif Oriental, it's a load off the shoulders rite?
But now like nothing much to do.... Is it true that after the hotel & bridal confirmation, we would b free until a few months before the big day? Keep thinking i might hv forgotten something...

Hi Tiara,
Haven't seen you ard for a bit..How r u? How's the preparations?
Cutie,
Me too! I keep checking and double checking to see if I have forgotten something as well.. Since we have already signed with Oriental, can we still ask for stuff e.g. pot purri AND pralines? I did not ask for both. Is it in your contact?
Hi Coal,
When you go for weddings, they usually have cake or chocolates.. those are favours..hwr of late, there are more options for favours, pot purri being one of them.. I guess the diff is that for chocolates, you can eat it, but it can be a little impersonal bcos the oriental gives out these fan shaped ones, like their logo.. some ppl prefer chocolates to satchets of pot purri which men esp have no idea what to do with.
Other pple also have their own favours e.g. chop sticks, chop stick holders, incense, flowers, candles etc. which is more personalised.

Hi gawain,
I'm fine, thanks
Any luck with ure gown search yet?
Hi gals,
For those deciding on what perks to ask for, I suggest u take the additional night stay (or whatever else u can bargain for) instead of the anniversary dinner. I went to Pronto's w my hubby this yr for the dinner and everything on the menu is quite ex. The voucher was for $80 so we just had a main course each, and fruit juice. And I still had to top up the amt. Think the total bill came up to $80+. Plus, the food wasn't fantastic. I'd rather we go somewhere we liked for dinner instead...even if we had to pay for it. Hehe..so ungrateful right?
I'm fine, thanks

Hi gals,
A very good morning to u! TGIF!!!
Gawain, I didn't state down in my contract on hvg both the pralines & potpourri. Guess shouldnt be a problem at all.
Agree with Alhana. I exchange my $80 dinner voucher for a night stay in the deluxe room for our anniversary. More worth it and meaningful we feel. No lah! Not ungrateful. Dun make me feel bad leh...

Hehe..thanks for making me feel better Cutie. I didn't change it for the room stay coz we left for our honeymoon almost immediately after the wedding (ie my wedding on Sat..chk out of hotel on Sunday..went on honeymoon early Mon morning) If not, i wld have definitely taken the room stay instead. Felt the voucher quite bo hua.
Bortie, I dun think its a problem changing the dinner to a room stay, unless their hotel is 100% occupied (which I doubt) Just let Jassie know so that she can ensure the room is available for you.

Hi Gawain
Glad to see you around. I am fine, just extremely busy at work. My preps - nothing done except for the dinner being booked. Mine in Dec next year so still got time. Anyway I am looking at getting an OTR gown, any recommendations? I am so keen on settling for Kai, but my fiance doesn't understand my need for slightly more expensive gowns. I think to him, all gowns are the same. He was quite sweet, saying I will look good in any gown but then again, he may be thinking of his pockets yah
Hi karce
When is your wedding? You booked with Oriental too?

hello gals,
Glad to see this thread so active..
I xchanged my anniversary dinner for an additional room (for the parents). I agree that it is better to go for to a place you really want to celebrate at for your first anniversary dinner.
Although it does not say how much the voucher for the anniversary dinner is, it usually is a monetary amount attached, not a fully paid dinner.
Bortei, I had Jassie annotate in my contract that the anniversary dinner is contra-ed off for the additional room. However I don't think you will have a problem abt the extra night if you talk to her in advance so that there is a room available.
Al, where did you go for your honeymoon?
I haven't made v much progress with my bridal package search.. but I will decide by the end of this month.. going to the WG sale at 4 Seasons to check things out then decide.
Tiara, my FH is like that too! (Read my comment abt us women having the urge to try try try gowns). However if you are getting a OTR, don't just settle for a Kai gown. Go to Kevin Seah and Tan Yoong as well. They charge abt the same.. (Tan Yoong's creations are just dreamy!). Also check out Stillhoute (who is having a sale now) as well as Ted Wu. What's your budget by the way?
Better yet, email me at [email protected] - don't want to mess this thread up.

Hi gawain,
Actually we didn't use the voucher until way past our anniversary Think its valid for a couple of mths after ure actual anniversary. We went to Shashlik (one of our fav restaurants) on our anniversary instead. And I booked us a 2 nite stay at the Regent Singapore. It was a nice break
For our honeymoon we went to Bkk n Koh Samui. Cld only squeeze in a short holiday coz we got married during the March school hols, and my hubby's a teacher
