Whiteangelz, i haven't settled the church deco cos i have to coordinate with another bride. Intending to use the same caterer as well, tho i have a few caterers in mind. It's very sweet of ur mum to help with the flowers. Aww... Btw, yes i think u shd settle wedding stuff 1st, esp those where u need to reserve the vendor such as AD PG. I have a checklist which another bride gave me. U have an email addie i can send it to?
Haven't decided whether to stay with ILs but prob going to do so. Cos wedding would be a major expense and we are intending to go on a trip to US in March, then honeymoon in Bali (hopefully a private villa if budget permits). And we just saw very nice but ex CS by Kang's which cost another $2K. Sigh. So ex but pretty!
Georgia, ironically i took Ray for AD and got The Pond for PS. Spending too much on photog already. Sigh. So was it a huge relief to finally get married? Cos i would be engaged for slightly more than 2 years by AD, and am quite eager to get it over and done with. Many pple have already assumed tt we're married cos it has been so long. Wait until neck long already
So are u staying on ur own or with ILs? Btw, do u have any gd recommendations for caterers, since quite a few of us are looking ard too? =)
Kyrie dear, we intend to have a small lunch recep at both sides and then a tea recep at church. Cos our service is at 2.30 and tea ceremony will be in the morning. So must ensure tt the relatives get food for lunch
U shd check out Robinsons at Centrepoint and Taka for mattresses. We were looking at Sealy mattresses. Basically, Robinsons has the mid to mid-high range in terms of pricing. Taka is more exp. Can get from Robinsons if u have the Robinsons card cos of the discounts and rebates during sale. And in the interim before delivery, if they sell the same mattress for a lower price, u can ask them to refund the difference. We paid abt $3K for a mid-range bed. It's the one used at Four Seasons Hotel called the San Marino. Shd go try for fun cos it is so soft and plush... Hee
Btw, i live near Serangoon North (Kovan) and he lives in Jurong as well! Hahaha. FH has to drive at least 1/2 hour to pick me up. So very glad tt his parents are finally shifting to Bukit Timah
