Bugbear, you sign up for your bridal package liao ah??
good for you.. as I have mentioned earlier, normally standard package comes with classic album and if wan to have mag style, got to pay extra lot more.. but yours is $4688, might comes with mag style... bcoz understand that normally people decide whether to upgrade to mag style or not only after seeing the photos...
shern, i dun know which are the BS specialises in elaborate gown leh...
shern, i dun know which are the BS specialises in elaborate gown leh...
bride, i've been to very few BS.
very impressed by silhouette, bugbear considering them (am i correct?).
i think either wedding present or wedding news (near blue ginger at tanjong pagar). J&M, Blush (not been in tho).
select just a few mag style if not will get 'overdose'. which are the BS that you have in mind?
just recalled....dunno if mine will have collage or not?!....but my photographer quite nice lah (not cheap anyway), our album is suppose to show how we met...blah..blah...storyline and all. i was worried that if i wear casual, my hair and makeup will not match cos no makeup artiste will come along, so he suggested to take the casual shots on another day with no additional charge, just buy him a round of drinks at the place we'll be shooting which is where my FH and i met...good service...

hi bride, can try: (maybe you have checked
)
jawn happy ever after
margaret bride
kevin seah
tan yoong
amanda lee
some of the designers have bad reviews on their thread, but i just find that it all depends whether you and the designer can click or not. that's more important

Bride, me haven't sign up with the BS yet...but 90% confirmed to get from them already. If the mag style that you are talking about is the addition of collages, then yes, my package does consists of 4-6 pages of collages
but the album is still the standard 11" size.
For gowns, u might want to take a look at Ted Wu as well...they have very nice gowns...provided u like beadings...and Te Wu's gowns are more suitable for petite sizes...that is what i feel...Tan Yoong as mentioned by Shern is also one of the top few BS...
Shern...heheh...nope, my BS is Flamingo. Who is ur photographer? So good ar...help u make your entire album into a story line kind...then will add any wordings or a short story?
It would be lovely to have kids running ard with wings!!

sweatcorn... I have shortlist J&M and white link only.. most probably will take white link and I am too small size so sure can't find OTR gowns one.. have to MTM liao... scare running out of time if MTM...
hi bride... dun panic...
whitelink is value for $$ u can 'negotiate' for a lot of extra things... take time to go down n see their gowns, try on a few n see if u like it... same goes for J&M... let them know your AD n c what they offer loh... juz be careful they dun cash on the fact that u dun hv enuff time...
another alternative is to buy those brand new OTR gowns n then they will do alternation... they comes in S,M,L sizes...

hi bugbear, i already had my wedding at the white fence area earlier this month. They have 4 menus, but can swop items that you like. Do take the beef tenderloin, salmon rolls, lamb and choc mousse cake. I got good comments from my guests on these items.
I think there is no extra charge for outdoor cos the set-up is the same - table with centrepieces, chairs with seat covers and the stage. Unless you want to have more decoration like the floral arch, flower stands etc.

hi gals,
bride, my friend rec her BS camillia (i think spelt like that...). but i already signed. nice gown and very good friendly service.
i have decided not to top for magazine... instead, i will make my AD photos into magazine style... cheaper that way... if top up need to pay $1800. so use the money for actual day instead.
bugbear, you looking for place to ROM only or AD? cos i just found a very nice place...

HI hi...
Meagan...can PM me your package?
Dazed, me looking for ROM only. I initially wanted to have rom on AD...but cannot...cos need the ROM cert for the hse
Where u found? Share share? So far, i found Altivo, The Reefs, Rasa sentosa...my budget quite tight lor...me trying not to exceed $1500 for 30pax
which is quite difficult if i want Rasa...but i love the place lor...must discuss with FH and see if we should increase budget. it's always easy to increase budget than to decrease it

Shern...i heard that we can write in to defer...but i can't find any reasons. and i am worried that if they don approve, then i will be given 3 months to produce the cert and that would mean that i cannot choose date...also worried that if they don approve, then i have to fork out cash...which is a definite no no lor...
any good suggestions for reasons? ;p

Ladies, thanks for the advise and suggestion... most prob I will take white link as it has been my ideal BS way before I plan for my wedding
But just want to explore to other BS as well before confirm signing up with them... but think items to neg for BS is quite standard.. based on what I gather from the forum.. heehee... think most important is to neg for more photos...other than that nothing much to ask for leh... most prob will confirm my BS within this week (hopefully) by the way, sweatcorn.. I am really very skinny.. S size gown cannot fit me too.. most of my friends say alter too much will make the gown ugly and suggest me to MTM my WG and EG.. sigh.. then another headache will be thinking of what type of gowns I want
no idea at all!!!
Hi bugbear, normally can defer one.. just write in and try
it will really be sweet if you can ROM on AD.. regret not doing it that way for mine...

Hi shern, I think what dazed means is the photos that her photographer took on her AD, she will ask her BS to make it in mag style. Normally the photos on AD will just be put in normal album..
hi bride, u can negotiate for the bs to give u free rental of coats for parents, if u hv sister, c if they can give u free rental of e/g for your sister...
dun worry bride, they will help u in deciding wat looks good on u... i've PM u some website to look for gown designs so happy searching...

sweatcorn, was shopping around and found my current photographer so end up signing with another BS lor. their current photographer has good reviews tho, so no worries lah.
bugbear, tat's y i had to ROM too...hehehe s'pore lifestyle lah...those i heard has tragic reason. try anyway lor
bride, thanks for the explanation...tat's wat i'm doing too, forgot lah. negotiate for the choice of material eg lace, more beadings, extra corsages for bridesmaid etc and cars, outfits for bridesmaid, type of flowers for bouquet. jus a suggestion, if u r ok, dun go for those small albums tat r replicates of the bigger album, trade for more pics for the big album...can cut cost

hi bugbear,
the place i saw is a small garden of a furniture shop at gillman place, next to st andrew jc at pasir panjang. very nice garden with balinese touch. the furniture company rent out the place for functions... was telling my FH that if we had not already booked rasa, we can do our ROM there too...just have to order buffet and the place is perfect...
shern, my friend already married in jan this year... she's full of praise for the BS, photographer can choose from a few rite?
yup, make the AD photoes into magazine style collage but not from BS. by the AD photographer.

Hi hi all...wah...thanks loads for all the advice...i am actually very interested to have both rom and AD together...i also find it makes everything so complete. Simply loved the feeling lor...heheh...i won need to be concerned with the living together thing as my hse won be ready so soon also
Maybe i should go book the gown and get the BS to issue me the receipt first...then with that, i write in to defer.
Sweatcorn, how long before u defer? Or wait till CPF board write to u to demand for payment then u defer? I also thinking of using chinese customs as reasons...but think with receipts of both banquet and BS...will be more substantial hor
No lah...me always dream of church wedding, but me no christian. me free-thinker, but FH family is buddhist.
Bride...i very envy u leh...so small size! I am big frame...but to many, i look skinny...cosi have quite boney shoulders and joints...but my weighing scale says opposite...so sad

Hi Dazed...no lah...i am sure you look alright!
Yah...discussed with my FH, he don quite like the idea of together...cos we wanted a specific date to reflect on the cert...and if we were to opt for the same day...then we cannot choose date...must follow the book...so still thinking.
Heheh...i have 2 makeups for the AD...so should be ok...anyway, i most likely to split my tea and banquet...cos the day i like for banquet is a tuesday...so might do the tea on sun
