Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Hi Cherie,
i am a reader of your blog for years!
Am also looking at bridal packages for my wedding in Sept, i would like to which bridal shop you might have engaged? By the way, i like your make up! 🙂
Cheers

Hi Pearlyn!!
First of all, congrats! i am using white link. truth to be told, i didn’t really have the time to search and compare the bridal packages, so i just went with whatever that i felt comfortable with.
i guess the major points for considerations are..
1. gown designs
2. affordability
3. convenience (u need to keep going there for appointments)
anyway, there are bad reviews everywhere on everyone, so just go with your gut and stick to it. commnication is utmost important when u start, because they wont be able to guess what is it that you really want. hope this helps!
p.s just shoot your questions over if you have more, i’ll help if i can!
btw, when is your actual date and hotel? mine’s in sept too!
🙂

Hi Dear!
thanks for your reply! Mine also in 18 Sept! Holding it at Grand Shanghai Resturant!
Gosh, i am going down to about 4 bridal studios to rackee this weekend! I heard abt The White Link too, how do u rate them? i guess my budget is $3k plus, with local shooting? 🙂
Really appreciate your advise so much!
cherieladieblogs
hmmm. not too bad i guess. my original package was slightly less than 4k for the following:
– wedding gown (mtm or exclusive)
– evening gown (otr)
– tea dress (otr)
– 2 set of suits for the husband with 1 mtm pants to keep
– 3 jackets (for dads and brother)
inclusive of:
– a trial makeup
– indoor/outdoor 1 day shoot
– 1 x huge ass portrait picture that’s half my height (with frames painted)
– abt 30+ pics in an album (12″ x 18″) with full design
– guest book
– CD rom of selected pictures
– 48pcs of 4R pictures (in 6 different poses)
– 1 x bridal car (took this out to change to more pictures)
– studio hand bouquet + actual day hand bouquet + 12 x corsages (for bridesmaids)
errrm, i topped up $680 for the designer gown that i picked. also, expect to top up money for the additional pictures that you might pick – good to set aside a budget?
and oh, i also get to choose an outdoor gown (for free) for the outdoor shoot.
on top of all these, i have also topped up $1.3k for 3 night stay in krabi (hotel + accomodation for 2 included) with outdoor/beach shoot.
have u attended any wedding shows? you should get a rough idea on what to expect.. and you should start deciding soon!
takes a while to choose the gowns, get them altered, fitting, arrange a shoot date, shoot, choose pictures, edit pictures, re-edit pictures/design of album and printing. i had my first appt in early nov and i push them quite a bit, hence the early shoot.
have fun during your recce! ask them to let you try the gowns and have a feel at their service!

Hi Gal!
Thanks for your tips! I did u got a pretty good deal! 🙂
And mine, u are going Karbi too! Have fun! Remember not to wear “tube” if u are swimming these days, cos u dun want to end up with all huge tanlines from swim suits hee! I in fact am facing it now from the past few months of swimming. Have to let it fade off slowly i guess? 🙂
Have fun for your pre-wedding preparation, i am v happy for u!
