My Friend's Wedding Dinner

Just returned from my colleague/long-time-friend's wedding at marriot. she looked very pretty, all grown up in her wedding gowns... saw so many of those ppl whom i'd worked with too.. haha they're the same happy bunch. sad to say, dinner at wedding dinners are seldom good. the best i've had so far was at sheraton towers. tonight's dishes were a little below par.

looking forward to planning for our own wedding. should be pretty simple. prob a long trained gown for the wedding rite, then a shorter gown for the reception. we're not planning a chinese dinner, so 100 times less hassle. just need:-

1. photographer/videographer
2. caterer
3. gowns/suit
4. make-up and hair

That's it. that's all. shouldn't be that difficult right? of course will need some help ushering and coordinating the thingie. but not that bad right?

was looking at some of the photographers. avenue 8 (www.avenue8.com.sg) seems the most promising. will check that out soon. was thinking of getting either get d'fia or utopia to do the photo shoot but they are quite expensive. i want a guy who can take bnw effortlessly. that way his colour photos won't have an issue. no posed photos pls. some natural shots (i guess it can't be all that natural)... in natural sunlight. none of that posed in front of some backdrop thingie thank you very much. i must say friend's taste in photography is quite similar to mine. will check out satine as well.

as for gowns, i want simple and nice lines. no idea who's good yet. but no need anything over the top. but i guess ott is the default here so i've gotta pay more for something simple looking?? doesn't make sense.

found my caterer - www.purplesage.com.sg they did a really good job at SMOTA. they're THE ONE. ok enuff talk about the wedding prep. gotta go kooonz for a black monday.
