I'm also doing my solemnisation during may 2017 (a month before the wedding in UK). I'm on a tight budget so it's going to be a less than 10 tables wedding but if you're booking a hotel, do it quick! I was at Goodwood park and it's going fast. I'm probably going with Min Jiang at one North operated by GWP. Restaurants don't need bookings that far in advance (maybe by September), so it's a lot more lax and we have time to decide. If anyone needs help wedding planning, I'm offering free wedding planning services to boost my portfolio, particularly for brides on a budget! Or you can check it my blog. I'm also handling my friend's wedding and I only wish I was doing this full time.

Oh yes, if you're on a budget and looking for a cheap gown, I'd recommend trying overseas designers online then altering it to fit exactly. I bought the theia petal gown for just over $1000, and alterations to make it shorter only cost me $500 max. I'm considering buying another wedding dress now by free people that's under $1000.

Hi im a May BTB as well. Was looking at either 7th or 20th. But i used an app and they said 20th is inauspicious. But other online websites show that it is auspicious.
Im very confused now. Do u guys have any recommended websites?

the most accurate is to find a master to count for you. Master Tong did gave me May 20, but date are too popular alrd, most of hotel are fully booked. so I choose another alternative dates.

Hihi, thx but we dun drive so considering the number of trips we need to go in and out of Malaysia might be a problem. Still asking around and guess there are still time to look around before deciding.

I will like to ask if anyone knows usually how long should we take our pre-wedding photo in advance?
And also what is the duration for gown selection before we can take our pre-wedding photo? Thanks

Thanks=) I am thinking to take during mid September, but August will be lunar 7th month so we cannot do any gown selection. So was thinking whether early Sept will be too rush or if we do it during July, will it be too early.
