Pierced, can start looking ard for a BS. best to have a year allowance for MTM gown from trying out colours and shape to made to PS to choosing photos. all these need some ding dong here and there.. leaving more time allowance is good in case of unforseen circumstances. will also have time to rectify anything not up to standard.
on the whole can start to look ard but dun need to rush into it in case regret
happy sourcing

 

[cynfei]

Hi Teo, thanks for sharing with me yr fren's experience. at least now i feel better. yup, guess most pple thinks not worth to get gim tim coz more x. but parents all feel worth it. most impt of all is all are happy at the end of the day yeah

Hi

I am interested to have my wedding dinner at OCC, but I intend to have only 10 tables. Does OCC allow that? I saw from OCC website which shows minimum 10 tables in their wedding package, don't know is it true? Anyone can recommend your banquet coordinator to me? Thanks.

 

[brides2005]

Hi Jes

They have small function room to accomodate to your needs.though the function room ceiling is very low, but it got very nice view(the golf garden) and it has got a spacious cocktial area.good for mini and private function.away from the main crowd.u can try looking for serene.she's very accomodating.

 

[pierced22]

Txs a lot rabbit! i will go check it out

Hi jes, i guess if onli 10. shld be the cozy function rms like teo said. does the website have the picts? if not, u can go down to view.

 

[tigerjes]

Thanks Teo and pierced.

I only know their package price from the web, can't find any picts. Can we choose the cook? notice from the web that they stated yishun lake restaurant, can we use others? Will the price same? Do we have to pay for the function room?

 

[jellytots77]

Hi ladies

Hows everyone? Jelly, this sun can meet u or not?

Pierced, share w u my experience in MTM gown... me goes w an empty mind, talk to the designer, try some gowns, she draw w some sample pic fr overseas, she did the dress for 1st fit, add on things in 2nd fits, added new ideas for 3rd fit and ta ta... prefect dress for me

U see, its the designer's 'job and expertise' to advise u which one type or style best for u

Remember u pay for their service, so if they are good, they dun need our 'input' tt much lor.
Hmm...sometime the thing they advise is diff fr wat u like or think u can

So got to be able to take constructive suggestions from them.
Also if the designer is gd enough, the gown tt u MTM shd somewat diff fr wat u see OTR or on mag. Hee... so no need to confuse urself thru so many many gown ya

U hv not choosen anything thus option still open and remember 'CHEMISTRY' w the designer is very impt

Hope my pointers help!

Mid wk liao lor....

Cheers

Cheers

 

[jellytots77]

yo rabbit... should nt be a problem.. u call me can &amp; make the arrangement with me can...

 

[pierced22]

[d8raem8n]

Hi, I was told that OCC will be using fake flowers for the decor and that if we want real flowers, we have to top up $300. Did anyone use the fake flowers or top up? Not sure whether fake flowers would look ugly. Thanks.

 

[art]

Hi Lynn

During the wedding show, we are told that all comes with fresh flower deco. Of course with additional ones, we need to top up

By the way, where u get ur info from? OCC themselves?
U looking for OCC too?
Cheers

 

[d8raem8n]

Hi, rabbitwsk

I already signed up with OCC and my AD is on 25 Sep. I met up with Serene from OCC on Sat and she told me that. But then again, I think I can't compare cos I am not doing it at the function room. I booked the poolside and tee garden for my dinner.

Has anyone seen the fake flowers? Any comments on that please? Thanks.

 

[pierced22]

hi lynn,
sorry cant help u on dat coz wad i saw was fresh flowers for deco. dun they show u some samples of wad u gg to get for the deco?

 

[d8raem8n]

Hi, pierced

Serene showed me the flower stands with fake flowers. Not sure whether you saw the pixs before, but I have something here. She said I will get 4 flower stands and the arch as shown in the pix. Does it look fake to any of you?

 

[jellytots77]

yo lynn... hmm cos think most of the gals here are hving their banquet at the grand ballroom itself... i remember clearly when i went to view the ballroom... i saw the flowers are all real leh...

 

[jatling]

Hi jellytots77,

I sent Andrew an email and he did received my agreement...PHEW...
Oh I did ask him abt sample of wedding cards and he asked me to check with him again next year Jan/Feb as the card might change.

 

[jatling]

Hi Lynn,

I think for banquet they r using fresh flower leh.....cos we still can choose what type of flower that available for our choice.

 

[tianyun]

[d8raem8n]

Hi, rabbitwsk

I can't remember whether my contract said real flowers or not. Need to go back and check.

I also chose the bears as my wedding favours... cute hor?

but unfortunately they are not giving one pair to each guest, so my friends all think that the guests will snatch the bride bear...

 

[jellytots77]

yo rabbit... hmmm said said ur wedding is on the way soon hur....

oh... can tell me more abt the wedding card nice or not... so u go print ur inserts already... oh some favour to ask... those balance gold strings can spare to me if u got no use can....

remember to update us more on the food okie... we wait for ur feedback

hmmm... why change ur favours hur... bears nicer leh... but sad is one bear each lah....

 

[pierced22]

hey lynn, the photos look ok to mi too, still look the same like real flowers. should be fine.
jatling, thk for us 05 brides, the stuff they show us now may change like the cards and favours. so we hafta be prepared. but hopefully, they will change it for the beta.
jelly, i oso like the bears!!!too bad they onli give one each unlike pan pac where they give a pair. but well, i guess no one is gg to keep our favours forever so i not really bothered by he favours.
hey rabbit, then u can feedback to us on howz the food tasting.
