Halia Wedding Show

Finally, we have a chance to attend the wedding show @ Halia. For some reason, the wedding shows organised by One Rochester and Halia so far crashes. For interested couples, they gotta make a tough choice between one of them.

Having attended 3 weddings show by One Rochester, we decided to check out the Halia. Located at Botanical Garden, the themes they are show casing definite consist of the Garden theme, which I am interested. An opportunity for us to see if there's anything we can improve on as the day draws near.

There were 2 timings for the event, and we sign up for the second wave, which was 6.30pm - 8pm. This was our first trip to Halia.

One of the venue for solemnization.
Also, one of the 2 indoors venue with air-con.
There were a total of 3 venues/themes for solemnisation.

Enjoying our beverages =p

Nice flowers booth !! There were giving away small bouquet of flowers for the couples. Happy to see familiar faces at this event and we chatted quite a bit =)

Sadly, though they have 3 themes, they only set up one theme for the couples to see. The other 2 themes were only shown in the powerpoint slides in their presentation earlier on. It will be better if they have set up 3 tables show casing the 3 different themes.

No one would ever noe the hard work behind these butterflies ......
They were actually manually cut out by the people, not by machine....

hmmm ..... is this suppose to be a dessert counter?
It doesn't look appealing at all ...
No wonder Sarah's idea of having a dessert counter was rejected by Halia ....

Flowers for my gal .....
It'll be nicer if the gerberas were in pink or red instead of yellow ....

It was a pretty good spread ! =)

so were the desserts !

Finally a shot of us together. Time to head back home to rest. The weekend has juz passed. Seems to be pretty short, gotta work tmr. ZzZzZz.

Wedding Fair @ Klapson Boutique Hotel

A wedding show @ Klapsons, the bouquet hotel? I have no idea where the hotel is, but gal was telling me the hotel seems cool and wanna go have a look. Had to google for its location as i do not know of any other hotels existing near Tanjong Pagar MRT other than Amara Hotel and M hotel.

This definitely look like any other office tower.
How could there be a hotel among an office building.

The cool hotel reception counter !

The wedding hotel was held on the 17th Storey, but I'm more curious about the hotel rooms. Where are they located and are there any amenities for the guests?

Here's one of the venue for the solemnization. The flower deco and the color theme seems more like a garden theme. Simple yet nice settings.

The short aisle

The solemnization table and the center piece ....

Nice Gerberas !

gal with the flowers

They are pretty generous with the food for this wedding show. A huge variety of food to choose from. Btw, the food are supplied from a caterer. Probably because there is no restaurant in sight. I wonder if someone were to hold a banquet here, will it be a buffet style only?

Some random shots of the food ...

The food could be even better if they are warm .....

Nice display of wedding favors on a tier stand on Extraordinary Wedding booth.

The ROM series. First time that we came across short-hair gal modelling wedding gowns. She looks cool =)

The gal on the left is super, duper skinny !!!

More wedding gowns ....
Didn't capture alot cos i do not have a good view of it

Performance by A Little Dream.
hmmm.... Does all saxophonist have this kind of look? =p

There's roses and hydrangea. Wahaha, after months of researching, I'm finally able to identify some of the flowers used !

Sometimes something simple can be beautiful

Yap yap, we won another luck draw at the wedding fair again, though it's not something that we hope for. We were actually hoping to get the top 2 prizes, which were both very attractive. First price was a free photography by Avenue 8, while the second prize was a free wedding photography by Yvonne Creative, a bridal shop

Spotted a fine dining restaurant, Lucas, on our way back.

Wedding Show @ Furama CityCentre

Dun rub your eyes, it's not a typo error either. Attended a Wedding Show at Furama CityCentre. You may wonder where is this hotel and why would i actually attended this Wedding Show. Well, the hotel is located near the CTE Havelock Road exit and is very old.

The purpose of attending this wedding show is actually to meet up one of the vendor, Academy Photography and Videography and view their portfolio as we are currently sourcing for videography services.

Thankfully UOB credit card holders are entitled free entry. By the way, this hotel serves Halal food. I cannot imagine a banquet dinner that is halal. Nothing much to shoot around, and the food was not nice either, opps ....

The highlight of the day was a wedding fashion show by Yvonne Creative Bridal Studio showcasing their gowns and ROM Dress, but most of them are so-so too. This is one of the prettiest model with the best ROM dress for the day i think.

The themes available. Make a guess for the price? To my surprise, it's not that cheap. It cost close to $900 per table on a wkend. Well, juz for a bit more, you can have a much better banquet dinner at Holiday Inn Orchard City Centre. There was lucky draw, which we didn't win anything.

Wedding Fair @ One Altitude, by One Rochester Group

Another Wedding show by One Rochester, this time at One Altitude. Came across this event in a wedding magazine and gal wanted to go see. The magazine had a lucky draw and winning couples are able to grace the event for free. And we won the lucky draw again. Seems like we have good luck in most of the wedding shows' lucky draws. =p
