my wedding is at the pavilion.
other than chopsticks, u can choose chopsticks holder, potpourri, fruit cake, chocolate.
Ethel said she will send me the pics for the potpurri and chopsticks. I will send to you all when it arrives.
actually have a car in the bridal package is quite good. now i am sourcing out for car on my big day and the rental is sooo steep as high as 500 bucks!

hi
Have any one march in thru a long path in siloso ballroom? that mean for the bride and groom, instead of marching in, in the middle, you will march in the middle and turn straight to the other end?
Lastly, any one have sword bearer on your wedding day? How many sword bearer you have? did you take a longer march or shorter march?

hello all
As I mentioned I was beri busy with my work project so didnt spend enuf time for my wedding preparation. So everything was beri last min, so 2 weeks b4 my wedding, we met up with our MC n program coordinator to discuss the program.
As mine was a sit down dinner, sigh... alot of things was quite 'traditional' , like cut cake, champagne, thanks guests, 1st & 2nd march in...so many things n only 8 dishes to go so have to send advance team to get the guests in the next table 2 get ready for picture taking. I almost fainted, so boh liao!
Alamak, I hated it beri much to b honest, beri diff from my idea, cosy n relax dinner. This really make me feel very frustrated n the program seem so rush n dont get to enjoy our wedding, disappointed is the word.
I didnt want the yim sang but friends said it is very hard n guests expect that when we were on the stage, kind of hard to tell them no.
I tried beri hard to accept it. I was kept thinking abt it for 3 days until my hubby suddenly burst out (he ususally quite chin chai wan)said he didnt like the 'procedure' for the dinner part. It was exactly wat I was thinking, I decided to call my MC & program coordinator to change the whole thing drastically.
We have decided to 'drop' the stage. I think the stage is the one that make plp feel 'formal' n expectation of yim sang, cut cake etc. Instead we have an open area after carpet n both vip tables were placed at where the stage is supposed to be (all same level).
I have oso decided to drop the 2nd march for the dinner bcos I oreli hv a march in during outdoor solemnisation. We preferred a more relax n cosy dinner, here is our program
7.45 1st March in (so lucky to b able to start on time)
7.50 Thanks the guests for coming, pop champagne. We poured champagne specially for both set of our parents, served them personally (give them abit of attention),a few words of thanks to our parents.
8.00 Dinner begin (beri relax from here on)
8.20 Change to EG n just walk in casually.
Rasa staff moved in the couch into the ballroom just b4 the floral arch. This was my idea as I do not want to go round every table for picture taking except for relative tables. As many of our friends r big groups, it will b more interesting to have some group photos at the open area where the couch was instead of table photos for all. The only thing is we were asking for 'troubles' since these group gathered together, more or less will saboh abit loh.
We have quite a bit time to mingle around, no hurry. As long as the 8 dishes r paced such that the last dish is served around 10pm, my MC & program manager also get to enjoy the dinner, no advance team so every1 can relax n eat their dinner.
We actually play a game with the guests as suggested by the MC since we have time. Not on the stage, so not so pie say lah, quite fun.
By then 10.15 dinner ended, we r by the door to thank the guests.
At least, I have somehting closer to wat we like n feel comfortable. So, my advice for u gals is there is no need to conform to traditional procedure, do wat u wish to, it is your wedding!!

hi girls,
leng, your arrangement sounds very good! gosh, wish I'd thought of it!
blurblur, I had 8 swordbearers - just nice number 'cos for the wedding ceremony at waterfront, the aisle wasn't very long but it was still OK for the long march-in we had at Siloso ballroom. We marched in from the back but we requested no red carpet 'cos it's easy to trip!
Hope this helps...

Hi girls,
Sorry I don't have the pix of the Siloso ballroom scanned in. But honestly, Siloso ballroom is OK, esp 'cos you have the reception area.. So don't worry, yah?
vio, my ceremony lasted for 1 hour.. we had the guests seated by 4.50pm and started 5pm on the dot.. by the time we ended at 6, it was still bright.. 'cos if you end at 6.30pm, might be too dark for the photos to come out nicely. But also cannot start too early if not your guests will be really hot! After the ceremony, we served cocktails and light snacks before ushering the guests into the ballroom at about 6.30pm.

Yap,
Asked my co-ordinator to help .. think they planted too many chilli & garlic.. it was very hot that day.. we actually went down in the afternoon to observe the set-up, the poor staff all burnt by the hot sun..
Vio - you are having an outdoor dinner too? Where is the location?? If you are taking lots of photos during the dinner - best to ask for more lightings (I paid extra for lightings & despite that, the lighting was not sufficient... the background of my photos turned out dark)

Hi gals,
recenlt i just got chiz off by one of friend. he keeps using his wedding to compare to mine. i mean i really detest that ok..and the fact that he keeps saying that beautfort which is also in sentosa is much better than rasa...
like its more high class..and is it true that per table is more than one thousand, i refused to believe it.
so disgusted ;o(

hi vio,
i think you'd better pay for the extra lighting 'cos your photos won't come out nice, if not. no buildings around the waterfront area leh!
swordbearers at a waterfront wedding was a bit unusual lor.. it was quite funny 'cos a lot of the hotel guests were standing around in their swimsuits watching our wedding!
totoro, don't be sad yah? it's true that beaufort is considered a higher-class hotel but it's no reason for your sickening friend to keep harping on it. per table is definitely not $1000.. lemme check with my friend yah? anyway, you can tell him that rasa sentosa is shangri-la group and the food is good! no point arguing with those stupid people.

If can choose beachfront that is facing the sea...will request to change. Leng & catz....any comments??

Hi oct pooh,
Hmmm... not exactly sure but mine was Waterfront which is kinda in front of the beach (but not the centre front of the hotel which leads to the beach) and swimming pool... not sure about the other area your coordinator mentioned. Perhaps you could arrange to go down and have a look at the venues?? Would be a safer bet leh..

Hi Vio,
My wedding was last Sept. As mine was on the beach, I had to pay extras for venue rental, generator for the powerpoints, lighting, sound system plus lots of other logistics which I cannot remember now.
Sorry, think the website which I posted my pics is down. cos several of my friends cannot access it..

Hi Tipper,
Sent! let me know if you do receive.
Hi Bonnie,
Yes if you want, you can still opt for the chopstick holder. I think i will have that as well.
Much presentable...cake and choc too common.
Chopstick somewhere i read said looks like buy from thailand. and the potpurri looks like a malay wedding give givers. so we have decided on the holder instead.
