The Wedding Diary Asia 2009

We visited the Wedding Diary Asia exibition at Suntec City today. I notice that the exhibition booth Gazebo is very nice. It cost $600 to cash and carry it home. It is not expensive to buy if I have a big garden at home to setup this Gazebo.

I also got some decor ideas for my bird cage center piece as well as my forest theme wedding which I will be using during solemnisation / Actual Day

Our Justice of Peace - Dr Lim Lan Yuan

I emailed my JP and I got a consent reply from him the next day! :D

So glad that things turn out very well for my solemnisation preparations. It has been very stressful the past few weeks, planning and waiting for the ROM registration window to open.

Today is 26 Mar 2009, 3 more months to ROM day reads my ticker counter at the bottom of this blog :D

Soleminsation Decor by Lovedroplets

I met up with Jac of lovedroplets and have decided to get her to do up my soleminsation setup decor on 26 June 2009.

"Snow White and The 7 Dwarfs theme"

Flower choice - Geberas

Soleminsation decor ideas

Soleminsation table - idea 1

A birdcage as a center piece. The birdcage will also my ring holder during the soleminsation. Birdcage decorated with 2 doves/ butterflies and furry white base. Some petals sprinkled around the birdcage.

Flower choice : Tulip / blue rose for this setup.

Chair decor - Chiffon / organza with Clip on butterfly ornament

Soleminsation table - idea 2 (snow white theme)

A rectangular centre flower arrangement with snowhite and prince paper cut out in the middle of the flower arrangement with 7 dwarfs mini figurines.

option 1 : My wedding band will rest among the flower arrangement or

option2 : Just rest on my ring pillow in front of the center piece or

option 3 : Hang on the stalk of 1 red apple on the table.

Flowers choice - Sunflower / Geberas

Soleminsation table - idea 3 (a perfect royal setup)

Idea 1 + Idea 2 = Budget cannot exceed $100

I have shortlisted a couple of vendors to do up my soleminsation table setup. I will be visiting them slowly :

1) Lovedroplets http://moks0002.multiply.com/
2) A friend's neighbour florist shop at Jurong Point.

Memories flash back : Where our courtship life began....

We revisited Raffles Marina after 2 years.

Sky and I were invited to a wedding dinner at Raffles Marina, Tuas West Drive. The groom is his cousin and the bride is my best friend's sister.

Congratulations to Yang Ming and Xue Yun!

Raffles Marina is also the place where our courtship life began on 29 Nov 2006. It was actually not so romantic that night on 29 Nov 2006 when he "ask for my hand" to be his girlfriend coz he did it in the pitch dark, yacht park area. Raffles Marina is on that west side of Singapore with a beautiful sunset in the evening. I guessed he did not plan for that romantic moment.

Memories of that night 2 years back were replaying in my mind the whole evening during the wedding dinner :D The revisit also indicate that courtship days had ended and it did bring back many memories. It's so sweet thinking about it.

Soleminisation Venue confirmed @ Noble House

The perfect place to hold my soleminsation.....


1) Nice named venue to appear in my ROM certification.
2) Relatively affordable place with good stomach-filling CHINESE food
3) Soleminisation place and table inclusive in the food price for 13 pax.


Soleminsation venue have been confirmed at "Noble House" during dinner hour. We will be having the ala-carte buffet dinner at $39.80++ with complimentary mini Buddha Jump Over The Wall 1 serving per pax. Reservations taken by Veronica.

Next things to do....

1)) JP Consent - shortlisted... pending confirmation
2) Register our wedding online at http://www.rom.gov.sg/ after 26 Mar 2009
3) Florist to decor my soleminisation table setup (budget set @ $100 and below)

Budget for outside Rom venue decor

so far the places we shortlisted for outside ROM does not provide decoration for the soleminsation table except for the chair cover and plain table cloth. I will need to DIY or get a florist to do for me. Budget $100/- or less.


It will be also be nice to decorate the chairs for the JP and 2 witnesses if got surplus of money

Soleminisation venue reconsidered

There is going to be changes to our soleminisation venue. We may have an outside ROM soleminsation ultimately :D And I have really put in a lot of work researching for these places the past few days. Sky and I have been going around looking at the places I proposed.

Criteria

1) Nice named venue, nice environment not too hot.
2) Relatively affordable place with good stomach-filling CHINESE food.
3) Soleminisation place and table inclusive other than the food price for 13 pax.

This sounds impossible but I managed to shortlisted almost a handful. There again, the original plan was to soleminise at ROM (Fort Canning) and have dinner with family and helpers friends after soleminsation on 26 June 2009.

Wait for more updates while we consider....
