Your Personalised Wedding Planning Checklist In Singapore

Your wedding day is one of the most cherished moments in life, and every bride dreams of a perfect celebration that reflects their love story. Planning such a significant event involves juggling numerous tasks and decisions, which can be exciting and overwhelming. At Rosette Designs, we understand the importance of creating a personalised wedding checklist tailored to your unique vision.

1. Setting The Date And Budget: Key Factors In Wedding Planning

The first step in your wedding planning journey is setting a date for your big day. Consider factors like the season, weather, and any special dates that hold significance for you as a couple. Establishing a realistic budget is essential once you’ve chosen the perfect date. 

Our expert wedding planners will help you allocate funds for all the significant things – from venue and catering to floral arrangements – ensuring you stay on track without compromising your dream wedding.

2. Finding The Perfect Venue And Vendors

Selecting the ideal venue is paramount to creating the wedding of your dreams. Whether you desire a romantic garden wedding or an elegant ballroom affair, our extensive network of top-notch vendors in Singapore ensures you find the perfect setting. From photographers and florists to entertainers and caterers, we connect you with trusted professionals who share your vision.

3. Essential Wedding Stationery And Invitations

Wedding stationery sets the tone for your special day and serves as a delightful keepsake. Our in-house styling and decoration service ensures that your wedding stationery complements your chosen theme seamlessly. From elegant invitations to beautifully crafted menu cards, each detail is thoughtfully designed to enhance your wedding experience.

4. Choosing A Wedding Attire

Selecting the perfect wedding attire can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you’re dreaming of a fairytale gown or a sharp suit, remember that the key is to choose something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Don’t rush this process; visit multiple boutiques, try different styles and make a day of it. Involve your friends and family. After all, these are the moments to cherish!

5. Selecting A Theme Or Style

Your wedding theme reflects your personality and taste. From rustic charm to chic minimalism, the choices are endless. Once you’ve chosen a theme, it will guide subsequent decisions on decorations, stationery, and even attire. Think about what truly resonates with both of you as a couple, and go for it.

6. Wedding Decorations And Flower Arrangements

Your wedding decorations and flowers can transform a venue into a magical space. Use your theme as a guide, and think about colour schemes, textures and the atmosphere you want to create. Remember, sometimes less is more. And when it comes to flowers, seasonality can impact both the cost and availability, so keep this in mind during planning.

7. Wedding Photography And Videography

Capture the magic of your day by hiring our professional photographers and videographers. Look for ones whose style aligns with your vision, and be bold and give them a list of must-have shots. Remember, these are the keepsakes you’ll treasure forever, so invest time in a professional wedding planner like us.

8. Bridal Car

Your wedding car is more than just transport – it’s a statement and can make for stunning photo opportunities. Whether you choose a vintage Rolls Royce or a sleek limousine, ensure the vehicle fits your wedding style and comfortably accommodates the bridal party. Don’t forget to decorate it for that extra touch!

9. Guest List And Seating Plan

Crafting your guest list can be one of the trickier tasks in wedding planning. Start by setting a limit based on your venue’s capacity and budget, then stick to it. As for the seating plan, aim to create a comfortable atmosphere by placing guests with people they know or share interests with. Remember, it’s all about encouraging fun and interaction!

10. Wedding Officiant

Choosing the right officiant can set the tone for your ceremony. Consider whether you want a religious, traditional, or contemporary ceremony, and then find an officiant who can cater to your desires. It’s essential that this person resonates with you both and understands your vision for the ceremony. After all, they’ll guide you through one of the most memorable moments of your life!

From a bride who insisted on renting a S$15,000 wedding dress, to grooms screaming at vendors on their wedding day, wedding planner Hellen Lie from Rosette Designs and Co has seen it all. She gives guest host Elizabeth Neo tips on saving costs and tells us what wedding couples really shouldn’t scrimp on. Am I Adulting Right is a limited series.

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.
