Freebies from Photobook Singapore

As a budget bride, I love freebies and discounts!
Today I am going to share with you the recent freebie that I have found when shopping around (:

Photobook Singapore is having a giveaway now Now NOW!

Photobook Singapore is giving Free 100 4R photo prints or a 6" by 6" square softcover photobook if you subscribe to their website.

The only downside is that you would have to pay for their shipping $8 for 100 4R photos or $7 for the mini photobook. $8 for 100 pcs of 4R photos is like $0.08 per photo! No matter how I look at it, I still think its a steal! They will email the voucher to you and it is valid till Dec 2016.

I have used Photobook Singapore few years ago and found their quality to be decently good. Which is why I am planning to use them to print my wedding photo album and a canvas for my wedding photo (: What I like about them is their software, very user friendly and useful for people like me who don't know anything about designing LOL.
I will do up a review later date for their items (I'm only planning to buy in sept).

For $7/8, I think they are worth a try. They have lots of promotion on their website so if you like what you get, you can explore their promotions. I find their deals still cheaper than other shops in Singapore (:

Go try it out!

Wedding Angbao Box

I have been searching high and low for a wedding angbao box for my wedding day.
As per usual i would want something that is unique and nice for my wedding ;p

All these are pretty angbao boxes but I wanted something that is more out of the box.

IM-perfection has these GORGEOUS wedding angbao boxes that i really like! Chio right?
I think i read somewhere that the rental cost about $150? But i don't really remember...
However I think the price is out of my budget so no point asking/:

Carousell is selling a postbox angbao box for approximately $60, also a little on the high side /:
Wanted to buy a second hand one from another bride on forum but i could only deal on weekend as she stay at the other side of singapore. In the end, she sold it to someone else ):

Taobao is selling some pretty unique ones which caught my attention!

The red post box with stand: $250RMB = approximately $57SGD
The london post box (1.2m): $418RMB = approximately $95SGD
The white angbao box with stand: $106RMB = approximately $24SGD
The envelope mailbox: $224RMB = approximately $51

I have not yet decided on my angbao box...
Any one have any idea how to make a special angbao box or where to buy one for less than $30? /:

Anyway I have set up an email account for this blog! ;p
If you guys have questions/need any assistance, please don't feel paiseh/shy to contact me!
E.g. If you want to taobao something but don't know the translation I may be able to help LOL (i try lah!)
I may not be able to give immediate response, but i will try to respond when I'm free (:

Guest book for wedding day

Hello Hello!

I just bought something recently and I'm so EXCITED to share with you what I have bought ;D
I was thinking of setting up a special guestbook for my guests to sign off on my wedding day. Typical books are boring~~ so I decided to look for something special!

What's my criteria?
1) Unique
2) Can be used/kept for display when I get my own house
3) Customizable

With all these criteria in place, I shortlisted a few wedding guest "book" hees!

1) Canvas signing

Cute? Able to customize your name, wedding date AND EVEN WEDDING PHOTO into the canvas! Very unique right? You can totally frame it up after your wedding with the signature of all the people who came to give you their blessings!

Best of all, how much does it cost? $95RMB = approx. $22 (300 guests) for a high quality customizable canvas wedding sign off that you can frame up and put in your future home!

 

2) Frame up the blessings (Buy here, here and here)

This is my FAVOURITE!
You can customize engravings, the design, wooden chip shape, colour of background, colour of chips, wordings etc etc! This would be a very pretty centre piece for your house!
The only bad thing is that this is quite expensive~ approximately $120 to $140 for 300pax!
Lesser pax would be cheaper of course (: But they also have paper kind which is much cheaper!

So this is where Carousell comes into place!

 





I bought this for $50 from carousell! Its not the cheapest thing (or in the best condition) but its so nice and I have been eyeing this on Taobao for more than 3 months (too expensive for me to bear to buy from Taobao). I'm still very satisfied with it though it cost me $50! A little heart pain... It can be used for up to 240 guests o! (:

Suddenly I feel a bit 败家女 hahahas!
Saved abit here and there and end up spending so much on this ;p

Short-> 49RMB = approx. $11.20SGD
Long-> 69RMB = approx. $15.70SGD

What's so good about this dress?
Its a tieback dress, which means it is VERY adjustable at the boobs area. For the waist wise, it is fixed at indv sizes (S-XL)! Quality looks good and the dress can be worn in a few different ways! It has a few different colors (different tones of purple, champagne, blue and pink), definitely a good buy! ;D

Elegant and intricate bridesmaid dress

Price:
Short-> 39.56RMB = approx. $9SGD
Long-> 56.76RMB = approx. $13SGD

What's so good about this dress?
Elegant looking dress with very delicate/intricate looking details. The color is very pretty and quality looks very good! In fact, out of the many dresses i have seen on taobao, this is the only one at this price with such quality and such pretty details!

Cheeky peppermint bridesmaid dress

Price:

Little bow bridesmaid dress

Price:
75RMB = approx. $17SGD
Buy here (different colors available by clicking on the images in the website)

What's so good about this dress?
This little tie back bow is sooooo PRETTY! On top of that, it can help to cover the flabby arms of the bridesmaids and the tightness of the sleeve cover can be adjusted when you tie the bow, you don't have to worry that it would be too tight for some and too loose for others!

Hope these 4 designs of bridesmaid dress is something that can fit into yours and your bridesmaids requirements! I handpicked all these out of the many due to their prices, design and quality! Hope you like them as much as i do :D
