VENUE FOR MY ROM & CELEBRATION

12 Oct 2012 - We first meet Elieen from Riverview Hotel at BOWS (Blissful Outdoor Wedding Show) at the Dhoby Ghaut Green during their show from 12th - 14th Oct 2012. My first impression of her was that she was very helpful at the booth & neither was she pushy enough to press for a confirmation then - I guess that was just the 1st day of BOWS so she was not that desperate... haha

MY PRE - WEDDING PREPARATIONS (PART IV)

10 November 2012 - The day finally arrive for me to go in JB with my photographer friend & also to meet Vivian & her friend who own the gown rental business. After a long queue at JB customs, finally I am in his cousin's car at 1130am. As it was close to lunch, we decided to have lunch nearby the area before proceeding to the gown shop. We reached there about close to 1pm but Vivian & her friend, Angeline was already waiting at the shop.

MY PRE - WEDDING PREPARATIONS (PART III)

Tried googling for horsey in JB but the only place I can think of is Rider's Lodge at JB. Wrote an email enquiry to them & response came back within a day.  Guess what??!! Their horse for 1 hour rental is at RM$250 nett & inclusive of mounting on the horse!!! Whoo... That is ALOT of savings!!

MY PRE - WEDDING PREPARATIONS (PART II)

I always thought it will be easier (& cheaper) to do it locally & I always liked animals especially horses when I am still in school...so I had an idea of getting a horse (YES!! a LIVE horsey) for the shoot... Plus not many of my friends' wedding albums had horsey...so it is quite unique I should say if I had 1 in my album...keke..

MY PRE - WEDDING PREPARATIONS (PART I)

With a good friend willing to do my pre-wedding photography, the next thing I need to prep myself would be looking for gowns rental for the shoot.... I think of all things, the gowns part is the most headache portion to me.

Why?

MY AD GOWN SOURCING (PART I)

Remember in my previous entry that I came across some cheap gown rentals? Well, I had decided to check out the cheapest & most value-for-money. I actually made an appointment to go down to one of them for fitting - I thought... no harm in just trying out the gowns right? since I've already tried 9 gowns at JB without signing anything with them... keke However, this time will be different as my HTB is coming with me!!!

MY INITIAL DREAM WEDDING PLANNING

My initial wedding plans was just to have the cheapest pre-wedding package I can find in the market, have the traditional wedding customary & a simple ROM reception with some close friends & relatives.

But in the midst of finding an ideal location, I found that most special venues have certain limitations. Some need to enagage or source for external florist, catering, or even tentage for outdoor venues. There are no venues that have all these in as a whole package unless we are talking about hotel venues.
