  1. hehe thanks for the info. i didn't get the alphabets in the end and my wedding is over now. i had some cute little flowers on the cake so i decided to forgo the toppers since they're quite pricey.
  2. hello, could you PM me pls? your PM seems disabled - i can't send a msg to you. thanks =)
  3. agreed. where the couple sits will be the main table. and the tradition would be the groom's side is "superior" for whatever reasons. so even though VIP the bride's side punya VIP is still #2. but personally i feel it's really weird to have 2 VIP tables. 2 VIP tables not so bad, but where would be the groom and bride sit? IMHO, where ever the couple sit, that would always be the most VIP table, no? Read my earlier post...

  7. why would you as a guest want to wear a bridal gown to someone else's wedding?
  8. i think the problem with these old farts is that they are too comfortable and arrogant with their so-called reputation that they have started to compromise their quality.
  9. Emerald Brilliant is over-rated. their workmanship is actually pretty lousy. i had my dress done there and now i totally regretted it.
  10. my cheongsam at Emerald Brilliant 1Utama was so POORLY made i really dont know how they do their quality check, if they even do it at all. i've mentioned in my previous post in the Cheongsam thread (http://www.malaysiab...810#entry400837) today is the 3rd time i went for my so-called fitting of the completed dress. in my 1st visit last saturday, the fit was actually good but they needed to alter the underarm and bust area and all those HORRIBLE STITCHING of the zip and the laces at the hem. so i went the 2nd time the next day, they re-do the laces and altered the top. but then seems the hip and butt parts also needed to be altered cos the skirt seemed loose pulak. and they haven't re-do the zip's stitching. the dress will be sent to SS2 to be altered. this chinese aunty (apparently from the SS2 branch) was there and apparently responsible for this had nodded her head many times and ok ok to me many many times that it can and will be done - she said when they re-do the zip's stitching they will alter the butt and hip area... even before i left the shop i mentioned to her another time cos she didnt seem to be writing anything down or pinning my dress for measurement. and true enough, today when i went again, that part wasn't altered at all. i wasn't even sure if they re-do the zip as per my complaint the other day because it looked just the same. in fact, the whole dress looked exactly the same as when i was there the time before. the STITCHING WERE STILL CROOKED and the buttons at the back collar were STILL NOT DONE. the fat guy (i assumed it was the boss' son?) was there and i was trying to explain to him the problem with his staff not doing their job properly and how are we to rectify this because i'm not that free to go see them everyday while they're sitting on their job. he told me to take it to pavillion/SS2 if it's nearer/more convenient for me. now why the fck should i be the one to do your runaround? moreover he asked me to pay before taking the dress out of his shop if i want to take it to pavillion to alter. i really beh tahan with his attitude and i will not pay for his staff's mistake until and unless he rectified it to my satisfaction. which means i am forced to leave the dress there and go back for it AGAIN tomorrow. and i need the dress on sunday! i got out from that place really angry. i did not pay RM800 for all this bullshit with this place. i expected that as an old time cheongsam maker they would take their workmanship seriously. alas, they do not! i realized that for this price i could've easily gone to some other experienced tailor like the one in Endah Parade where i made my other gowns. this is one thing that i really regretted doing. their WORKMANSHIP IS REALLY TERRIBLE and there is NO QUALITY CHECK AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! is my RM800 not big enough an amount to them compared to other customers who paid >RM1000 that they do not care about me or my dress? i am really so so so disappointed i have nothing good to say about this shop. it's such a waste of my time having had a dress done there.
  11. i had my qipao done at Emerald Brilliant 1U. the gown was very nice, but i'd like to warn BTB's who are custom-making their cheongsam/qipao there. most of us would be so thrilled to see our custom-made gowns with the pretty laces and blings etc, that we tend to forget to check the seamstress' work. i was lucky that i remembered to check my gown. the fit was good, but to my horror the lace at the bottom of my mermaid skirt (it's floor length, no train), was sewn so out of shape the laces were "senget" in and out of the hem (when the laces were supposed to show outside the hem). they have also poor workmanship on the sewing at the zip area at the back that it's very obvious the stitches were not straight at all. i was told the gown was done at the SS2 branch. they also "forgot" to sew the button at the back of the collar. for all these i had gone there twice in a row in the weekend to make sure that they have them rectified. but for the zip part, they have to send the gown back to SS2 and i can only collect it some time this week. really scary... i would think they'd at least check their sewing before they let the customer come for fitting. i was so wrong to think that! =.= so buyer beware... make sure you check your gown whenever you go for fitting! dont take the "reputation" for granted.
  12. it's your big day and so is for your husband. respect him la. what would you do if you get humiliated like that on your wedding day? you may find it fun torturing him at that moment, but what if he holds grudges and do the same to you for the rest of your life. also think how you would appear in the eyes of your in-laws for doing that to their son. i will also not let my friends humiliate my hubby like that. he's my hubby and so even if wanna torture, only i can do that :p
  13. i am totally against the groom and hengdais (namely GUYS) being forced to wear panties and bras on them or worse, disposable panties on their heads. heck, would a girl even wear a panty on her head and call herself superwoman? and banana sucking from the crotch? that's just gross. also, leave the breastfeeding to the real moms pls? i seriously don't understand the significance of such games or any hengdai games for that matter. childish and there's no romantic vibe at all with all those crazy shouting and laughing. my FH once "threatened" that if i ever have these games at all, he would walk out during "fetching the bride". lucky for him, i have no plans for such rubbish. i concur to that lowyat thread totally.
  14. i've had a trial with jess wong a few mths ago (http://www.facebook.com/DressUpRoom) she was punctual and very friendly. her charges are reasonable too but i did not engage her cos my photographer (who is FH's uncle) highly recommended me another MUA Michelle Tan and after seeing her work i really liked it. i didn't have a trial with her though. but i trust her work is good cos she had many high profile clients it seems. i think it's not right for a vendor to demand for full payment before the job is done. usually it's paying deposit first to secure the date, and the balance to be paid on the AD. for me, i paid Michelle (deposits) 50% for pre-wed and 50% + the travelling charge (cos outstation) for AD. the balance 50% for both jobs is to be paid after they are done on those days.
  15. i'm glad to help but based on own experience i would say that "not knowing what to do" is not the hard part. it is when you have information overload - that is the hardest. and also when people around you start to "contribute" or try to "help"... if you get what i mean :p all the best!
  16. where to get monogram cake topper in KL ya? i searched online and they're like US$10+ for each alphabet. sooooo expensive.....
  17. whoaaaa... chill ppl... i haven't been following up on this thread =) i agree that we hire a band to entertain the guests and the aim is for the guests to be entertained. after all, they give us angpows for the wedding. but the band also needs to comply to the couple's requests to a certain extent, i feel. cos we are paying you so of course you cannot keep arguing with us you want it your way only right? the guests must also "sik jou" if they want to make any song requests lor. don't lar at ppl's wedding, happy event and they go and request for breakup/dying songs. and if the band is so ever crowd-pleasing that they abide by such requests, that i find is too much. that also shows how "professional" you are. know where you stand lor. it's not like we plan to get married more than once (or will have many weddings) so if everybody understands and play their part here then it will truly be a memorable wedding for us brides. you think we like to worry and stress abt all these tiny miny stuff ar? LOL
  18. this was what i did when i've set my wedding date, so here's a short list to help you to start off: - start research on venue (depending on your theme - indoor, outdoor, beach, mountain etc.) - estimate number of guests - check with the venues for availability, get quotation & make reservation - look for makeup artist & photographer - search for wedding gown / evening gown(s) - look for live band (if you want one) - look for wedding favors (door gifts), wedding cake, florist etc (if your venue provides all these then you can skip them) - discussion between bride & groom's families for dowry, wedding dinner tables, Guo Dai Lai etc emm some headaches will somewhat come in between of everything so... i'll leave them out for the time being :p hope this helps.
  19. there's this Special Marriage License that allows you to skip the 21 days notice. my fiance too is working overseas in the US and will only be back for a month to get registered with me and for our wedding. we'd be too busy to "serve" that notice when he's back. your gf should give JPN a call to ask for further detail on this. i still haven't exactly found out the procedure til now. perhaps you could share with us if you've got the info :p
  20. i'll discuss with my MUA then. my colleague told me when she got married and was having photoshoot at the studio, they insist she wear the fake lashes. then she also die die duwan to wear. she say not natural. then i see her pics, it's actually quite ok wor. thanks for reminding me abt corsage for my friend. i totally forgot abt it! haha
