Finally settled my Bridal Studio package last Saturday. Made an appointment with them on Fri and went down after a movie with Web at GWC. The Bridal Studio (BS) is located at Tras street, the street with shophouses beside Amara Hotel. The whole street houses quite a few BS and I have chose "Signoria Nuziale" after much research over bridal magazines and forum. The mai thing that attracted me was the fantasy/ fairytale metallic pictures (you can check out their website) coz these are very unique compared to any other studios. Like I mentioned, I dun like those too natural pictures coz its so common and can take anytime.

I managed to negotiate for my package with reference from some research and oveall quite pleased. It might be abit more ex with less thrills but for a designer BS, I think its quite worth it. Its rather difficult to compare every package from each BS coz everything is different, from designers, designs, materials, service, photography, effects and overall experience. Researching does help as I finally found something I truly wanted.

I will be having my wedding gown and evening gown made-to-measure (MTM) there. The designer, Vivian had already proposed and will start making my wedding gown. Evening gown will be later as its easier to make. I was thinking of getting my ROM dress there, but its too ex (costs ard $500 to MTM and keep). They had initially agreed on renting a ROM dress to me FOC but Web said that I should keep it. They had initially quoted me $300 MTM ROM dress but I thought I could keep it. After calling back to verify, realised cannot and need to top up and the cost is way above my budget so have to give it a miss. Guess I would need to find some shops to tailor-made one.

Sunday
Finally managed to do the registration for our ROM on 2 June 07. It will be a small affair on Saturday with only a few frens of ours with our own family and just 3 days b4 my bro's customary day!

Went KTV in AMK with Web coz after weeks of running around settling the wedding stuff, we need a break. Din sing much coz not exactly in the mood. Had dinner at the hawker centre again b4 hanging around in the library and AMK Hub.

Saturday
Managed to contact the 1st solemniser on our list (near Novena Square) and he agreed to do the solemnisation for us. Will need to fax to him an official invitation form on Monday.

Watched the movie "300" at GWC. The movie was ok, except its fighting all the way. The effects were good too. Rushed down to the BS after the movie as we grabbed some buns 1st. Took a bus from GWC to somewhere in Shenton Way b4 walking down. Alighted at the wrong bus stop (one stop earlier) so had to walk a bit further.

After spending 2 hrs+ at the BS with viewing of photo albums, discussion of the package, signing up, measurements and one fitting, we left for dinner at Raffles City's MOS Burger.

Friday
Web skipped his D&D so we did out hunting for a venue for our ROM solemnisation lunch. After dinner at a coffee shop at Boat Quay, we ventured around the area looking for suitable venues. We had initially planned at Novena Square's Lao Beijing but thought could find something else 1st. Had wanted Peony Jade but its booked on the day we wanted, no choice. Eventually after much searching, we went down to Novena Square and confirmed the venue with a deposit. Overall its quite nice and menu quite reasonable so we took it. Finally settled another headache.

We then took a walk ard then realised the new shopping centre is open, but cun remember the name. It located just behind Novena Square, near the new medical hub by TTSH. There's another place for shopping again although the building's not very big.
