ck, amara won't b helping us to DIY the deco. If u need their help, I guess they will charge loh. It din cross my mind to do it 1 day b4. I probably wld do some simple deco only, dun wish to make my helpers so tired...they r afterall my guests too. If u need to do 1 day earlier, remember to check wif Michelle...there maybe event b4 ur date

Thereafter, they will increase the price already.
True or not?

[ck~]

coyote,

i signed liao .. so can't ask for anything more ..
he he ...

 

[cocoberry]

Hi ck,

i m also takin up the amara ROM package,. when is ur ROM, mine is 19th feb at e poolside leh... goin to meet Michelle soon for the discussion on the theme n deco so-forth.... have u meet up with her on the discussion?

 

[ck~]

hi cocoberry,

mine is on 1st oct ..
discussion with michelle (not yet)
it's still some months away ...
he he

didn't know they got theme
he he ..
i think you will be able to advise me ..

 

[coyote]

ck, hard liquor on all package is all along free cockage wavier. Anyway I dun intend to serve tat. I told Michelle straight tat $20+++ for wine is too expensive. So she offered me 6 bottles wavier for a cfm of 6 tables min.

cocoberry, wat theme? My AD in 9days time

 

[ck~]

coyote,

yup ... the hard liquor corkage waived.
but i'll not be bringing hard liquor ..
i'm asking whether will u be bringing in any ..
he he ..

coyote,
so u got a theme?
how's your preparation ..
all done liao ...
mind to share with me .. how much your wedding costs ... includes PS .. AD photo ... etc...
wat about GDL ?

 

[coyote]

My BS package is 2388 includes OTR gowns & suits, photo, bouquet but no car. AD photo I use freelance, $280 for 3hrs. GDL i opt out totally

Last minute change AD venue, I rush like hell. Now still lotsa stuffs undone loh. Den wedding by the pool I wan a more relax EG but BS dun hav so rush to buy myself a dress n now struck wif no matching shoes n accessoriess...hahaha

My theme will be balinese style but now like abit rojak coz that hotel florist to me is not creative at all loh. Till now I still dunno whether she can get me the flower colour tat I requested.... *roll eyes* But Michelle is sure frdly n nice to work with

 

[ck~]

hi coyote,

not bad leh ...
how did u manage to convince your parent no GDL ?
he he ..

previous venue you're looking for is which place?
balinese theme ..
so how would your EG look like ?

oops ... say u not creative ?
it's not meant to be creative ... it's wat u like
he he ..
maybe u give the florist a few options of the flowers ...

 

[ck~]

coyote,

which also means your hubby no need to come and pick u up from your home ?

 

[coyote]

I dun need to convince them as they all agree wedding is tedious...they wld b glad if we oso opt out dinner, juz honeymoon can liao. Yup, on AD no picking up of bride. We will head straight to dinner venue.

I dun wish to mention previous venue, too much unpleasant experience liao.

ck, watz ur email, I send u my evening dress pic. Juz a dress, not even a gown.

I meant the florist is not creative. The flower arrangement is same for all brides excpet for the type of flwoer (rose/daisy) or colour u choose
