Back then the easiest decision for us to make was finding the right pre-wedding photoshoot and the venue. I usually did all the research and shortlisted a few for us to make a final decision. Both were confirmed in 2 months after we engaged.

Wedding day photographer took us a really really long time to confirm because I wanted something more contemporary and stylish photojournalism while my husband had only seen those "traditional" and "ordinary" shots!!!! O well, I won in this case and I rather gave up on the video part. I am so glad that I made the right choice and I like to look at them everyday since I got married.

Wedding cake is easy cuz my venue has a pastry chef and all I need to provide is just a reference pic

Wedding bands are also easy cuz my husband doesn't really care about the style, he just wants it plain. I can make the choice as long as it compliments my e-ring and get him a matching band.

Wedding attire took me a big chunk of time, like over 1 year to settle with the tailor, design, fabric, fitting and accessories n' stuff.

BM dresses made in Shenzhen totally drove me crazy (for the service and quality) and end up I re-bought a whole new set here. TOTALLY WASTE of my $ and time!!

DIY is something that I almost addicted to and spent most of my time on. It's really fun and probably the enjoyable thing I did for our wedding.

First dance lesson was really fun and we still sometimes pretend to be romantic and dance at home.

I documented the whole wedding planning process so I always have something to remember.

小叻,

He didn't rent his tux here, he custom made his tux in China. Quality is pretty good for the price we were paying. Just have to be super SPECIFIC and say everything in super DETAILS so the tailor understands what I want.  I still wouldn't recommend anyone to get their wedding attire to be done in China. I am not trying to be rude but their service is just two thumbs down and quality is simply inconsistent. My mom went with us and had to yell @ the tailor for getting our tux back because he promised us we could get on a certain date and we got there he said it's still not available.  Plus all those hassle to cross the border and transportation costs, it's no way we would recommend any bride/groom t be's to go there for a horrible experience. I promised myself not to whine again, I am sorry for keep venting!!!

We rent the suits for our groomsmen from Moores though, they said service is not good lor. I was really stressful with the groomsmen outfit when my wedding day almost approached, so my hubby managed to get them all together to rent the suits. They looked smart together with my bridesmaids on my wedding, I am impressed at the end

Ya, we did pay for their suits/dresses, cuz I hope they feel more they are part of our day.  it' just we would like to do something to make them feel good that's all, but it's never something obligated to do ga la. Good buddies will be happy for you both on your wedding day regardless.

I know Moores sometimes have $99 promotion. We didn't catch it but you can also ask around if someone has entertainment book, I remember they have tux rental coupon also, dont't remember the vendor, moores or black n Lee...

I have to agree that Engagement pictures are very important and it's such an unforgettable experience. Just like "siu lek", we took our pictures in TW, and the whole process is just fun, cheerful and at the same time very adventurous. The people we worked with, the places we had been, the dresses we were wearing...everything burns at the back of our mind. My hubby still loves to talk about the photoshoot until now.

For my case, my on day photography costs more than our pre-wedding but completely worth it. There's no way we can bring our reception, decoration, ceremony home, it's the memories that we can only bring back. I did make a trade off to not hiring a videographer, I have no regret cuz I really don't see why I should pay 2K for a documentary style of wedding video. And I don't wanna pay 4K for something I may like but I won't watch it as often. At least  I have made a framed picture wall in my living room with our wedding day pictures.
