hello gals..
WOW.. seems like everyone is going the DIY ways..
*stressed*.. can share with me where to get those materials for DIY as well as where to source for wedding favor? is anyone out there considering to buy from over seas? if can hor..

yup i agree, the feeling of DIY is so different and satisfying
I had wanted to print my church program booklets, and was quoted by 2 shops of at least $500 bucks, for very plain paper.
So I went to popular bookshop and got some nice glossy coloured papers for covers and coloured papers for inside. And guess what, I only spent less than $60. Moreover, I need not have the hassle of checking and proof-reading with the shop.
... if only I can do that for the wedding invitation cards, I might save a lot of trouble. But can't as the cards are not the normal A4 size.
I'm glad you all enjoyed the wedding show. I think you still can get the candel gel for your wedding favour if any of you still prefer it. Do check with your wedding co-ordinator. As most of yours only a few months after mine. I heard that they're only slowly phasing out the candle gel and chocs.

...and we may hv different wedding theme...quite hard to buy in bulk...nevertheless we can still share ideas on where to get what...
agreed...photo montage, animation, and other wedding services are really exp...haha may be i can consider changing line to offer wedding services.
anyway...does anyone know where to buy nice nice fabric...the type of fabric to make ring pillow etc??

hello gals..
sure no problem to get material together... but think firstly we got to do homework first..
we can surf net.. go library or mazagines to source for wedding preparation ideas.. then we can share out..
burden not that heavy too.. who knows one of us may strike the perfect ideas?

hi charlie cat,
Oops, haha, I met up with the Rasa coorindator quite some time ago in 2006 but only confirmed in Jan. That's the only date for us 'coz we've family coming from overseas and it must be during their break. Sorriz!
Anyway, don't really fancy the current Rasa decor, guest book and wedding favours etc...wondering whether to hire/purchase from outside parties...but must spend extra $$...thinking of getting choc fondue too...
Think not too early to start preparing for wedding in Dec lah, I'm also slowly starting to look around. Haha, this is so exciting! =)

i din try any gowns cos she told me apr will have 'new gowns'.. i'd be choosing a-line cos more flattering mah..
i took outside PG cos i prefer his style rather than the in-house one.. wats ur package like?? can share?? package without PG def cost more cos tats the only thing they can earn $$$ from when u top up photos..
lets say the PG's worth $1000 in ur package.. if u dun want PG, they will deduct at most $500 from ur package..
ur AD in Jan, u only choose gown in Aug?? so ur PG prob in Nov lor..

HI Charlie Cat,
My package includes PG, i think that's the standard package (OTR gowns) but it doesn't include AD photography... today i just called and check and if we want AD photographer need to top up $750... din ask exactly what they include... maybe i will call again to find out more about the details...
I 'm not sure when i will choose the gowns but my PG is somewhere in sept/oct.... so i think maybe june/july will have to choose the gowns...
Oh ya, they also include ROM gown and i was told that we can use the trial makeup for ROM... but i m still considering leh...
who have u choose for PG? can share? maybe u like to PM me the details?

Hi everyone,
My FH and I are thinking of having our wedding banquet at Rasa Sentosa. However, we're anticipating some transportation problems due to the lack of car park lots in the Hotel Compound, and the nearest other carpark is quite a distance away. Will like to get all Rasa Sentosa's brides and brides-to-be's opinion on how they will be arranging/have arranged the transports for their guests. Thanks.

Hi Musie, agree with IceCherry, Rasa provides many modes of transport. If yr guests are driving in, they must come early if they wana park in the hotel, cos there are only 119 lots if im not wrong. If they wana park at the beach carpark, fee is $1 ( not waivable) and there will be coaches there to pickup yr guests at 20 mins interval time. These are the same coaches that departs at SPI building at Harbourfront city. Alternatively, they can wait for the beach train, but they have to walk up the slope to the hotel themselves...
Btw, do u all know when shd one source for their bridal package? My AD is march next year and my fren says shd start sourcing now, but my FH seems to be in no hurry, saying sept then go source. Haiz...Any good recommendations u all have?

Hi gals, just did my food tasting today. Over all, it's good, especially the portion, it's more like for 11-12 people (they confirm that it will be this portion during AD and not for food tasting only). Here's the feedback on the dishes.
1. Rasa's Deluxe Wedding Appetizer Platter (Prawn with Avocado & Fruit Salad, Golden Seafood Rolls, Shark's Fin with Scrambled Egg & Crabmeat, Jelly Fish with Coriander and Chinese BBQ Pork
- We didn't quite like this dish, though it looked rather normal. there's no avocado & fruit salad, and also no BBQ Pork on most of our plates, except a few. We also didn't like the scrambled egg, as when it's kept for too long, it began to turn slightly green.
2. Braised Shark's Fin with Sea Cucumber & Crabmeat
- This dish is yummy, no complains, portion bigger than most wedding banquet l've attended. Sea-cucumber was also abundant here.
3. Steamed Chicken with Chinese Herbs in Lotus Leaf
- Was a little disappointed with this dish today as it's suppose to be very good. The chicken was tough. However, they say that on AD they'll cook much longer, as they won't be in a rush like today. So gals, if you're considering this dish, remember to ask them to steam for a longer time.
4. Steamed Fillet of Snow Cod Fish with Black Beans, Garlic and Soya Sauce
- Excellent. Huge portion too. Everyone gave an A++
5. Wok-fried Prawns with Butter and Scallions
- This dish was quite tricky, coz my in-laws and parents prefer the hua tiao prawns, rather than the butter, as the older generation thinks that butter don't go with prawns. But personally, I like it as I find it tasty, hua tiao will be plainer, but can bring out the flavor of the prawn better.
6. Sliced Abalone with Spinach and Mushroom
- This dish is probably the worst one we've tasted tonight. Everyone didn't like it. The abalone was sliced very thinly, each one had a piece, and lots of starchy spinach. In fact, they portioned one slice per person, but some had two, and others had none. We'll definitely opt out of this dish, and probably change it to scallops or sea cucumber with brocolli and carrots.
7.Fragrant Rice with Chicken & Chinese Sausage in Lotus Leaf
- Very nice. Not that kind you won't finish because you're too full.
8. Scented Yam Paste with Gingko Nut
- Out of this world!!! big portion and lots of Gingko Nuts as well
9. Chinese Tea
- We had oolong tonight, but on actual AD, Jasmine tea will be served.
Red Wine
- It's pretty normal, would probably give it a 7/10. It's that kind that people won't complain, but also won't sing praises of.
We felt that the food is good, and we're happy with most of the dishes. So gals, don't worry, I think we've made the right choice about choosing Rasa.
1. Rasa's Deluxe Wedding Appetizer Platter (Prawn with Avocado & Fruit Salad, Golden Seafood Rolls, Shark's Fin with Scrambled Egg & Crabmeat, Jelly Fish with Coriander and Chinese BBQ Pork
- We didn't quite like this dish, though it looked rather normal. there's no avocado & fruit salad, and also no BBQ Pork on most of our plates, except a few. We also didn't like the scrambled egg, as when it's kept for too long, it began to turn slightly green.
2. Braised Shark's Fin with Sea Cucumber & Crabmeat
- This dish is yummy, no complains, portion bigger than most wedding banquet l've attended. Sea-cucumber was also abundant here.
3. Steamed Chicken with Chinese Herbs in Lotus Leaf
- Was a little disappointed with this dish today as it's suppose to be very good. The chicken was tough. However, they say that on AD they'll cook much longer, as they won't be in a rush like today. So gals, if you're considering this dish, remember to ask them to steam for a longer time.
4. Steamed Fillet of Snow Cod Fish with Black Beans, Garlic and Soya Sauce
- Excellent. Huge portion too. Everyone gave an A++
5. Wok-fried Prawns with Butter and Scallions
- This dish was quite tricky, coz my in-laws and parents prefer the hua tiao prawns, rather than the butter, as the older generation thinks that butter don't go with prawns. But personally, I like it as I find it tasty, hua tiao will be plainer, but can bring out the flavor of the prawn better.
6. Sliced Abalone with Spinach and Mushroom
- This dish is probably the worst one we've tasted tonight. Everyone didn't like it. The abalone was sliced very thinly, each one had a piece, and lots of starchy spinach. In fact, they portioned one slice per person, but some had two, and others had none. We'll definitely opt out of this dish, and probably change it to scallops or sea cucumber with brocolli and carrots.
7.Fragrant Rice with Chicken & Chinese Sausage in Lotus Leaf
- Very nice. Not that kind you won't finish because you're too full.
8. Scented Yam Paste with Gingko Nut
- Out of this world!!! big portion and lots of Gingko Nuts as well
9. Chinese Tea
- We had oolong tonight, but on actual AD, Jasmine tea will be served.
