We (Still) Love Pinterest!

Forgive us for only joining Pinterest now! I (Hellen) have been a Pinterest fan & member since the phenomenon launched in 2010 (follow me here). We couldn’t believe somebody actually heard our secret wish for online pinboard! With the birth of Pinterest, I dun have to squeeze my memory of where did I see that cute boutonniere, because I already pinned it on my Pinterest board!

Sharing little facts about this wonderful tools:

In nine months, Pinterest reached 10,000 users (I’m proud to be the earlier batch!), now by 1 January 2012 they had 20 million unique users! Ben Silbermann (the founder & creator) net worth is 100 million dollar! And he is my age! (I have no problem revealing my age, but you have to google that..) Apparently, the beautiful site of Pinterest was created by 3 techy guys. I always know geeks will be the new cool, that’s why I married one. Haha!

Quite an amazing turn of event by the guy who was denied an appointment by some New-York magazine publishing company, for early investment.

On 17 May 2012, Japanese electronic commerce company Rakuten announced it was leading a $100 million investment in Pinterest, alongside investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, and FirstMark Capital, based on a valuation of $1.5 billion.

Eat your heart out, some random New-York magazine publishing company.

I love an underdog story. Well, everybody loves an underdog story.

Money Talks: Is a wedding planner a luxury you don’t need for your big day?

Should you splash out on your wedding? (Photo: iStock)
Weddings are a once-in-a-lifetime event that can be a source of great joy and stress. On the limited series “Am I Adulting Right”, CNA’s Elizabeth Neo speaks to Hellen Lie, creative director at Rosette Designs & Co, on how to navigate tricky money discussions for a happily ever after.

SINGAPORE: From grooms shouting at vendors, to couples breaking up just one week before their big day, wedding planner Hellen Lie has seen how the stress of planning this once-in-a-lifetime event can get to people. “Sometimes (wedding couples) expect their friends to help them but the friends also get worked up”, Lie told CNA’s Elizabeth Neo in an episode of the Money Talks podcast.

Her advice to couples? “Don’t scrimp on the wedding coordinator to run the actual day.” A wedding planner, on the other hand, is not always necessary. Having a wedding planner is a luxury, not a necessity. “Only maybe 10 per cent of couples have a wedding planner. If you’re very busy and don’t mind spending … you will definitely have a different outcome and guest experience”, says Lie. She also talks about managing costs and expectations. Here are some highlights from the conversation: ON PLANNING HER OWN WEDDING IN 2010 Lie: “I held my wedding over two days … There was an outdoor solemnisation and lunch buffet at Fort Canning Park for 100 people, and a ballroom dinner at Conrad Hotel for 220 people.”

“We spent about S$80,000 (US$60,200) for both events.” If we had to do it all over again in the current economy, we would be spending 40 per cent more. SMALL WEDDINGS HAVE BECOME MORE ACCEPTABLE POST-PANDEMIC Lie: “COVID-19 has changed perspectives on weddings. In the past, most weddings happened in hotels … and were mainly (to) invite the relatives. Now, couples have become more mindful of the number of guests they want to invite.” “It’s no longer taboo to have a wedding of 20 (people).” WATCH THAT VENUE COST Lie: “40 per cent of your wedding budget will be (spent) on the venue. A hotel wedding is (minimally) S$50,000. Some couples spend more than S$100,000 to S$250,000 for a hotel wedding.” Lie: “If you have the expectation that your guests will help cover the (cost in their red packets), that will jeopardise your friendship. It’s best not to have any expectations.” The hotel wedding rate is S$120 to S$360 per person, she says. I’m for following the ang pow (red packet) rates, but if it’s not within your means, just give what you want. SHOULD YOU TAKE A LOAN TO FINANCE YOUR WEDDING? Lie: “You don’t want to start your marriage with debt. Spend within your means and have a conversation on how much you’re willing to fork out. You must also think about housing and your (future) children.”

Couple wows with ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ wedding in Singapore

Birds of paradise flowers, the bride’s favourite, feature prominently in the wedding decor. PHOTO: COURTESY OF MARY
Roll out the red carpet for the couple with love in their hearts and stars in their eyes.

Mary said that what inspired the couple the most were the colourful palette and birds of paradise flowers, the bride’s favourite, that feature prominently in the wedding decor.

In her video, she shared the gorgeous flower arrangements. The floral arch and blooms that lined the aisle were reminiscent of those that embellished Araminta and Colin’s wedding venue in the film.

Their wedding ceremony, which took place on June 18, also had live performances and guests arrived all glammed up according to the dress code.

Like stars at a movie premiere, they posed for pictures on the red carpet before entering the venue.

The dress code for male guests was the barong tagalog, a national costume from the Philippines, which Mary described as “an elegant hybrid of Filipino and Spanish clothing styles”. Many women wore colourful formal tea-length dresses.

Guests dined over candlelit tables under the colossal solar-powered Supertrees, which tower over 50m high. A lion dance and a ribbon dance provided entertainment as they ate and mingled. In line with the movie theme, the couple also invited a jazz singer to perform.

A painter captured the night on canvas as well.

The couple spent eight months planning the event with local wedding planner Rosette Designs & Co, time and effort spent well as Mary said that her sister’s wedding was the “talk of the town”.

She said, “Guests who flew in from the Philippines, Australia, and the United States are calling it the wedding of the century in the Philippines.

“Surely the aunties will be gossiping about it just like they did in the movie.”

Crazy Rich asian nuptial bliss: filipino couple holds extravagant $250K wedding at Gardens by the bay

PHOTO: RR Production
Who remembers the glitz and glamour of Crazy Rich Asians? The plot might be good, but Singapore, which acted as the backdrop of the film, stole the limelight with its lip-smacking food and swanky locales.

And one Filipino couple decided to recreate the opulence of the romantic comedy film for their big day, taking inspiration from the lavish wedding reception scene, which was set in Gardens by the Bay.

The sister of the bride, Mary, took to TikTok to share snippets of the grand affair yesterday (June 20). And boy, was it a Crazy Rich Asians wedding.

Speaking to AsiaOne, Mary shares with us the inspiration for the wedding of JM Tiongco, 26, and Abbie Caram, 31. The couple, who are in the real estate business, tied the knot on June 18.

“Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians is our family’s comfort movie. Aside from it, the colourful palette, concept, and flowers from the movie really inspired the bride [her sister, Tiongco] to turn her dream wedding into reality in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay,” Mary explained.

In the 21-second TikTok video, you can see the manicured floral arch complete with accompanying arrangements lining along the aisle.

There was even a red carpet backdrop that was inspired by the movie poster. A perfect photo op for guests and family members to showcase their stylish wedding fits.

Come evening, the wedding venue was glowing, from the candlelit tables to the flashing iridescent lights from the nearby Supertrees.

And not to mention the majestic Marina Bay Sands towering over the area adds a nice little touch of elegance.

The wedding festivities continued with a lively lion dance performance and a colourful Chinese dance showcase.

Undoubtedly though, the real star of the show was the lucky couple – with the bride cladded in a stunning Vera Wong gown while the groom donned a custom-dyed pina barong suit by Filipino designer AJ Javier.

Mary also added that there was a jazz singer and a live painter at the wedding as part of the festivities.

Netizens’ reactions The comments section was filled with admiration from netizens. Most were in awe at the grandeur of the themed wedding.
