Wedding shows in 2004

I like attending wedding shows. Like looking at the gowns and dresses, the models makeup etc, their catwalk. And of course, the good food! Haaa.

Most of the wedding shows at the hotels are quite standard. They will give u a bag of banquet details as well as a lot of other promotions/advertisments. There are lucky draws, and fashion show by a bridal shop tied up with them. I suspect the lucky draws are never for real couples or probably just for people they know.. hmm. Anyway it is a way to entice people to sign up or purchase. Oh ya, and can take a look at the bridal suite. Bridal suite is supposely different from other suites and bigger.. more grand. Quite interesting.

The first wedding show we went is at Fullerton, August 2004. Fullerton is our first choice.. but to our disappointment we found out that we cannot fulfill the min table required when we went for their show. The bridal show is by Ted Wu. We went with another couple friend, S & J. I was really impressed by the gowns.. so many crystals! Dazzling.. will faintx haaaa. But the price also very dazzling haaaa. The basic package is already $5K, which can easily add up to $8K after topping up fotos!

I dun tink M will agree to signing to their package.. I told J about this and u know what she says? She say just persuade the guy until he agrees or not. Hmm.. my opinion is there is no need to spurge too much and suffer after the wedding. Sometimes we also have to think more for our hubby too, isn't it? Anyway I think S is a doctor so maybe they can afford more. Can't really compare I guess.

The Tea offered at the fullertion wedding show is pathetic. Little food and too many people. Also, I think it is really stingy for a well-known hotel to offer so little food, and cheap food also. Just sandwiches.. and we paid quite a lot for the wedding show too. Anyway the food is not fantastic, I have doubts about the food offered at the wedding banquet. The bridal suite has 2 storeys and the bed overlook One Fullerton.

Our 2nd Wedding show.. is at Grand Plaza Parkroyal, August 2004. We went because we are interested in the bridal shop tied up with the show, J&M. The gowns shown are very pretty, using some crystals. Overall, we like the effect much more than Ted Wu collections. Well, maybe also because the models used are pretty too haaaaaa.

Much to our surprise, the food offered for the show is very sumptuous. They offered shark fin soup (my favourite!!) and real fins too.. very authetic. Many food for everyone.. The 4 star hotel is also very pretty and grand, being a new hotel. The bridal suite has an open jacuzzi.

Overall, wedding shows are very interesting to go for.. I attended more wedding shows in year 2005.. read on the other posting (^_^)

ROM Invitation card

This is just a sample of the card.. with the details deleted away. Just this week, i thought of designing a ecard for official invitation to my friends, and putting the details of the day and maps, so that it be useful for them. Initially wanted to send an ecard from those free cards website but they are not the kind i prefer. So in the end I source for pixs from several websites and use photoshop to add effects to the card. Heee, my brother says why I take so much effort to designing for just an ecard. Recently I have been vexed with some family matters complicated with the coming ROM. Really hope that these problems will be solved soon and the wedding preparation will be smooth sailing and peaceful.

Comments on Bridal Shops

Just to summarise my views on the following bridal shops i visited/seen. These are my personal views :- 1) J&C (Clark Quay) - Basic package: $5K. Not hard selling. Designer is very friendly and professional. Gowns concentrate more on lace. Photography is outsourced to other firms. 2) Flamingo (Tanjong Pagar) - Basic package: $5K. Not hard selling. Designer is not around when we go. The gowns are simple and creative. Photography is outsourced to other firms. 3) U Bridal (Tanjong Pagar) - Basic package: $2K+. Quite Hard selling. It is a new shop set up, so the gowns are very new but not many. Their photos are developed by Kodak, very nice. The Shop asst refused to give negatives even if we offered to pay. Give us the impression that they are not very negotiable. 4) Everbliss (Suntec, Plaza Sing) - Basic package: $2K. Very hard selling. We signed up at their road show. My personal opinion is their gowns are more towards to taiwanese style, heard that they import their gowns from Malay...

Bridal photoshoot!!

Bridal shop: Bridal concept (liang seah street) Photographer: Kit Makeup artist: Lynn 10.00am: We reach bridal concept shop but it is not open. Lynn happen to walk by and told us we are supposed to report to the studio (which is at a nearby building), but kit told us previously to meet at the shop leh?.. Lynn told us our appt is supposed to be 11am, not 10am as the other couple book first on today date. But eeping told us to come at 10am leh?.. So we have to go out jalan while lynn get the other couple ready first.. shucks should have sleep more at home if we know it is 11am for us.. 11.00am: Makeup and dress up for the 1st costume (Ming chu costume). The hairstyle and makeup make me looked like the "san mei" in the drama show "Jie Da huan xi". M keep joking and i am quite irritated. 12.00am: Photographer Kit reach..and start photographing the first costume. Change into the victorian costume with new hairstyle done by Lynn and take more fotos. 1plus: Break for lun...
