The Wedding Planner

Scouting for the right dress is certainty a bliss for some, a torture for others. Well, its halfway there. Neither as grand and glamourous as the wedding dress, yet not a simple outdoor dress. Just halfway. The search is further intensified when you gonna ROM at a place with many other brides and their lady friends. It makes its harder look unique and comfortable. Perhaps unique is not on every brides' mind.

"I just dun want to wear the same dress as the other girl"... I guess.

Besides Daniel Yam, here are some of the other worth designers to choose from;

1. EMPIRE
Currently, they are having a promotion package at $369 with

• 1 dress to keep
• Make up and hair (house call)
• 1 pair of ready-to-wear shoes

2. Fashion Clinique @ Stamford Court61 Stamford Road #01-04A S 178892

• Price range around $150-$250

3. Yen Counter at Metro Paragon... actually alot of ladies suggest Metro Paragon and Scotts Shopping centre. And brands such as Celia Loe.

4. Made-to-measure ROM gowns from bridal boutique.

Lastly... if no choice... then Daniel Yam.

Just which lady haven heard of Daniel Yam? I seriuosly think he is an icon already. Ladies as young as 16 get to know this guy when shopping for a prom dress, to the career lady attending a company Dinner and Dance, to the blushing bride and her bevy of bridemaids.

Whenever someone asks, "Where to get affordable, yet nice simple gowns?" I sure get to hear "Daniel Yam" at least 8 out of 10 times to that question. But I do admit his gowns are pretty nice and wearable for the formal occasion. Best of all, the pure styles enable ladies to wear them elsewhere besides the formal occasion.

But hor Jingjing... I still wouldn't encourage you to get a gown from Daniel Yam. Much as I respect his works, I suspect you will get at least 65% of the brides wearing something from his collection on your Big Day. If the brides aren't wearing Daniel Yam gown, chances of their bridemaids or female friends wearing Daniel Yam gowns are about 50% too.

So, please choose from another designer's collection okay?

Well, some brides say hand bouquet gets in the way. They ask, "Are they to beautify the photographs or simply a must-have in a traditional way?".


One thing for sure, I love a good jump when the bride throws the bouquet into the air. But the myth doesnt work really. I caught one bouquet before. That was almost 4 years ago, and I am still single. And best of all, the whole entire damn process of me chasing after that hand bouquet was caught on tape.

What is a wrist corsage?
At a wedding, women who have a special relationship to the bride and groom also wear a corsage. In most cases, the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom wear a corsage, though sometimes a special aunt, sibling or cousin can also receive one. Guests of honor at parties or showers can also wear a corsage.

Some pictures of wrist corsages;






"Singapura...oh Singapura...Sunny island set in the sea"

Pros of a Wrist Corsage;

• It doesnt gets into the way
• It is not as commonly seen in Singapore
• It is smaller in size. Thus, easier to handle
• Bridesmaids get to wear matching wrist corsages (Yay!)
• No more fights over the bouquet-throwing ceremony

Cons of the wrist corsage;

• It looks less formal as compared to a hand bouquet
• Its DOES gets into the way when handling other things (just think of touching-up)
• Some people simply dunno how to handle it. So now instead of a bride fiddling with her hand bouquet, we got a group of bridesmaids and a bride fiddling with the wrist corsages.
• Some people are allergic to flowers
• Its pretty warm and itchy in our sunny weather
• No more bouquet-throwing ceremony (Boo! Not that I care really)

Another way of presenting bridal flowers. How do they manage to stay on the backs?

Okie dokie, that's all for the time being :)

$188 for hair/makeup and hand bouquet package.

We were talking about the ROM hair and make-up. At this stage, Jing is still at the stage of picking an auspicious date for the ROM ceremony. Well, I am more interested in the outlook. A virtual tour of the SgBrides presented us with a bevy of make-up artist's portfolio. But still not a lot of information avail to us. The ROM package seems pretty popular, averaging about $150 to $388. Some brides said that is considered expensive. I guess so bah...but if you see this moment as a once in a lifetime thing, its not too ex right? On the other hand, their comments also have a point. See, a trip to a hairdresser for a temporary hair-do should cost more than $50, the makeup done themselves (...er, I wouldnt recommend this really, UNLESS you are super PRO at painting the face). Some also suggested that the hand bouquet to be a gift from close friends or sisters. Anyway, its better to leave to the Pros I feel.

A quick summary of Ponnie Hsu and Pretty Box;
Nice natural make-up and UNIQUE hairstyles but there are also comments that her style is pretty “cheena”.


Cheena? Or its "Wayang" that they are refering to? But I like the unique hairstyles and comments of her spending ample time with the brides before proceeding with the styling.
