My bridal boutique experience

Today is my first appointment to the bridal boutique since 2008. Yes, i purchased my package a really long time ago. Months of research and elimations and i finally came out with my selection. I realise that my taste does change over a the year. I uploaded my desired gowns to picasa and ripped hard copies from magazines. The process of make to measure (MTM) wedding happened so fast and completed in 1.5 hours that it felt really surreal. Am i really making my wedding gown? I tried on 6 gowns in succession. Unable to take any pictures to show as it wasn't allowed. I told my designer Casey that i wanted something that i can look back in 10 years and hey i still look good. Glamourous, elegant, timeless and classic is the wedding gown for me. And of course i must capitalise on Digio's strengths. i.e embroidered gowns. The gown is something like the above complete with a bow and embroidered minus the ruffles. I fully trust Casey to design my dream wedding gown. Hopefully,...

Banquet Sheraton

Themes There is only one ballroom for wedding banquet. Upon entrance, I'm greeted by a ornate gold frame showing the event of the day. There is a extensive carpeted staircase. The menu is a design your own. i.e Select from the banquet selection for each category. There is a variety of floral to choose from for the wedding decoration. The ballroom The reception area is quite big. Love the red flowers against the black reception table. A sharp contrast. The long reception table with a wooden finish. The seating arrangement for the day. The photos of the wedding couple on LCD screen. Sheraton is one of the few hotels where the lighting is able to illuminate to every table.

Banquet Marina Mandarin

I dropped by Marina Mandarin for a browse after i visited the Mandarin Oriental Wedding Show. Hence, the lack of information and pictures too. But this place is definitely one of the most popular venues choosen by wedding couples. Most times, the dates are taken up very early. The menu is fixed at one except for weekdays where there is two options available. Miracle of Love and Glow of Love. Needless to say, different pricing applies. Sweet Enchantment and Blushing bliss (Saturday only) is available for weekends. There is a wedding on the day we visit. And so we went to take a look at the ballroom in the basement. There is another ballroom on the upper levels, Vanda Ballroom. Table requirements: Marina Mandarin Ballroom: min 35 (Mon-Thu) and max 60. min 40 tables (on Fri-Sun) Vanda Ballroom: min 20 - max 30 Marina Mandarin Ballroom The wedding couple for the night left their wedding album outside very very early.
