For bridal package, think abt where most of your money will go to.. i feel that most of our $ goes to the photos so our focus when we hunted for bridal package was their photography skills.I've seen my friend's album by jazreel...negative negative.... !! The rest i haven't seen before. so can't comment. Actually the gown don't need to be so nice/exp...coz one yr later nobody will remember what gown u wear...and even in photos, ppl won't focus on gown...the focus is more on ur appearance (makeup, angles, pose,etc.) So the photographer is impt.My bridal shop was Golden Horse Awards @ Yishun.

gadgetman 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2007 all in all, the total damage done for my lights was 1.7k..am uploadin the pics now... the prices of chandeliers varies.... from basic 399 to 1k plus depending on the size, the material for the design... if the whole chandelier is crystal, the price will be roughly from 600.00 onwards but this is a really rough gauge only cos different shops in balestier charge different prices... go and compare among different shops b4 u commit and if u are looking for design, do remember that it will be slightly more ex. if u are looking at practicality and dun mind older designs, then it will definitely be cheaper. if the whole chandelier is swarovski, do expect the price to be min 800.00 for me, i went for design ultimately instead of swarovski cos of the price difference.Hi Strawberry Pear,Are you having your lights installed today? Mine is scheduled to be done today...really looking forward to be able to view my place at night when the lights are installed!BTW, saw your reno-blog and I must say your lights and toilet accessories selection is rather impressive!

Hi Ms White and StrawberryHmm.. Yep collected the keys yest then went to buy all the rice, tea leaves and salt blah blah for the "opening ceremony". Spent ard 5 hours in the house with various parties such as contractor etc. Havent really decided on ID. I'm quite ok with eesy but hubby dun like him... Wonder why...Wah, yesterday was very windy. Feels like mini tornado inside the house. All the flyers "illegally" inserted thru the gap beneath the door were flying around in circles after we open the door... Hehehee... After some "wind treatment", really feel like sleeping liao.The view was quite satisfatory lah... The ferris wheel seems to be in the middle of my view from the kitchen. Then somemore we saw 2 white birds (mebbe seagulls/ doves) flying past... Wah, does this mean a good omen? =POnly thing we didn't like was the water pressure. Wah, at max after turning on, the water flow was just a trickle. Is this going to be the case forever? Then it'll take me hours just to wash my hands....Forgot to take pics of the house.

Bethel 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2007 The hollow tiles mostly found at the top..we had to stand on a chair to check those tiles at the top.. For those neighbours who have just collected their keys, do keep a look out for hollow tiles.We also report holes in the gaps between tiles. Did they rectify those for you?Wah hollow tiles at the top ah...oh dear...i didn't bring a chair...oh well...hopefully nothing will happen to it.Yup they fill up the holes.... But i suppose ur ID can also 'sun bian' fill up the holes when they do the tiling works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shivan 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2007 yup..heard a lot of positive comments on bridal concepts too..maybe u can ask shivan (wife) for their experience? not easy to find a BS which u'll like everything.. happy sourcing oh~ if u need then u let me know. meeting strawberry_pear ard 7pm though..u may wanna meet us..going to zanie98's and maybe mine.Hi Ebing,I highly recommend Bridal Concepts! My coordinator at that time which was 1yr+ ago was Big Sally. There were 2 Sallys there. Have not been visiting the sgbrides forum so I'm not sure if she is still there. My photographer was Kit and MUA was lynn. They form a very good team. Kit is very jovial and able to make you feel at ease and smile Lynn's skill is also good. Big Sally is very approachable and easy to negotiate with. From the package that they offered, I didn't want certain things so in return, I exchanged for more poses... In a bridal package, poses is more important than photos. For example, if your album is going to be magazine style, you can use the same pose to create some effect, like a small picture within a big picture. This is still considered as 1... not 2. Even when the picture is a mirror image, it is still 1. So you will want to have more poses so that you can have a variety to make up a story line for your album. For magazine style album, the minimum poses you need to make the album nice is about 50. My package at that time comes with 26 poses but i didn't want the bridal car and the 40 photos to give to your relatives, so i got another 3-4 more poses in return. After which i top up to 50+ out of which there were some repeated poses so if you talk about the actual number of photos or pictures used will be close to 70 but only charged for 50+. Hope I'm clear and not boring you all... Ok back to reno topics... I want my keys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
