Hiz weddin..
I juz had my wedding in Nov'05 using the candle light theme. We also caught a glimpse of the new theme at another couple's wedding before our AD. I guess it's personal preference..cos we still like the romantic feel with all the candles.
Cheers

hi weddin,
i hv not seen it personal. only after my wedding day then i can feedback here. intially i wanted candlelight theme as well, but my co-ordintor said that was an old theme and i did mention abt garden theme "messiness" to him, he gurantee me it will not be and he said it's much nicer than candleight theme. Now b'cos the new renovated vanda ballroom has sufficient lightning so he didnt recommend candlelight theme to me. In the past, they had candlelight theme b'cos the old ballroom was nt as bright as now. I listened to him and choose the new garden theme. It's up to individual

hi melody,
ya, those are the 3 wedding favours MM has currently...i heard there will be new ones by the time my wedding comes in June 06.
if i've to choose from the 3 current ones, i'll pick either candles or pineapple tarts. more likely to choose pineapple tarts coz it was really tasty. hehehe...

camy,
yeah, pineapple tarts really v tasty. my co-ordinator let us try and we asked for more. hahaha. for candles, i think its nt so practial esp to oldies and guys. most guests will just chuck aside after the wedding. hmmm.. as for chocolates, i find it common and abit old fashion as a wedding favor. hahaha, my choice goes to the pineapple tarts. U hv new wedding favours to choose, so good!

hi melody,
it's time MM do something about their wedding favours. Chocolat & candles r not so popular already, Pineapple tart is good (should keep it) and introduce other nicer & newer favours. I hope i won't be disappointed. But then, i'm v satisfied with the pineapple tarts so might still go for it hehehe....
2 more weeks to your AD, hope you've more or less settled everything. Relax & be a pretty pretty bride ok?!
cheers!

Where you planning to go honeymoon? me gotta wait till after probation then can go liao..hiazzz....
So where's your new house? staying with husband only or with parents?
Well, I've got more or less the same tasks to follow up like you:
1. Highlight my hair (going for redish tone)
2. Choose decor for wedding cars, hand bouquet
3. mani and pedicure
4. pending my photo album to be ready from the photographer
5. Working with my fiance's friend on photo montage...(juz started only and really really unlucky...his laptop overheated..his standard template gone so have to start scratch)
6. Table arrangement..still got friends pending reply if they can come
7. call my makeup artist to confirm the time to come over my place
8. look for caterers to cater buffet lunch at my house for the relatives & friends attending the tea ceremony
9. Collect wedding & evening gown from bridal shop
seem like we both very busy hor...my friends keep telling me to relax and be a happy bride but dun think I can since still got so many things to follow up...hehehe

hubby and i plan to go either korea or tokyo for our honeymoon. after wedding then we dicuss which place suits us more. any suggestions?
staying with my in laws at the time being, still searching for our lovenest. hw abt u?
yeah, we got almost the same tasks, think it applies to all brides.

Both Korea and Japan are great places to visit...have been to both already...anyway if you should choose Japan, I would recommend you to go Hokkaido..romantic and scenic...weather is so cooling.
We have juz got our house at Bukit Merah..but not renovated yet so tentative will stay with his parents after marriage.
heheh...my GDL over liao..phew...lucky my relatives not so much..went around 6 families houses. Yours alot?
So which is your bridal studio & photographer? Scarly we went the same one too.

so good for you, as least u already got your own home, hubby and me still looking for 1 which is convenient to both of us, we are looking at Tampines but Tampines dont hv new flats. so hv to reconsider abt getting resale flat as we r quite particular abt resale flats.
what a phew for u, one load off. my families not really big either.
im with Yvonne Creative, my friend is a freelance photographer so he's helping me on my wedding day. i signed with Forest Productions for their videography and montage svcs.

So you taken your PS for wedding? which is your bridal & Photoshoot studio?
My melody & Lynn:
Think during the MM renovations, quite a number of the Events Executive left...hence BK have to take up quite a number of wedding couples since not enough manpower...think currently from what I know, seemed that there's only ONE other Events Exec beside BK. Just a quick survey, may I know how much you all pay per table? WHat "freebies" did you gals get?
cheers
