Plan the Perfect Engagement
In the olden days, Chinese weddings in Singapore were almost always arranged marriages, but it is definitely not the same today. A majority of modern Singaporean couples take the route of dating and marrying for love, but some traditional ceremonial aspects must still be followed. This would mean having an engagement before the wedding and giving a proper distance between events.
Typically, the groom's family will give a token or gift to the bride's family. This will include traditional sweets, food, and cakes that are meant to seal the engagement.

Pick Your Outfits
Those looking at grand weddings that cost the earth to implement would want about 3 to 4 wedding gowns and all in different cultural outfits as well. But since we are discussing a practical wedding, the most sensible thing for the bride to do is to go for a maximum of two outfits, one to wear for the ceremony and the other for the reception. Now, with fashion evolving so fast, you could simply opt for a 2 in 1 dress as well. You could checkout bridal studios that offer dresses that can transform with the simple addition of an accessory like a lace bolero or a fashionable princess wedding skirt. This could save you the time and hassle to keep changing and also help you stay true to your budget.

Invite Your Guests
Before you send out your invitation to the guests, consider where you are planning to have your wedding. You may look into a Singaporean hotel promotion to be in line with your wedding budget. Once you have decided on a hotel location, you can start inviting your guests. Keep it to a minimum, especially if you are planning the wedding without hiring a wedding planner. This way you can make sure that you spend more time with all of your guests and ensure they are comfortable.

Don't let the ideas of others' mind-boggle you
Whether you are a local Singaporean or someone looking out for a destination wedding, there is one factor that remains the same, and that is the many advisors who come your way. Close family, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and basically anyone you associate with will begin coming up with ideas about how your wedding should be. With all good intentions though it may be, don't get too overwhelmed and confused with the conflicting ideas everyone keeps throwing at you. It is your special day and the bride and groom deserve to decide how their day plays out.

Don't Succumb to Stress
A wedding can easily be one of the most memorable days of your lives, so there will definitely be stress and pressure when you are planning the big day on your own. With seamless service from a hotel venue like Grand Park Orchard who will be taking care of your venue décor and food menu, you can now channel your additional time to pamper yourself before your big day.

Consider the weather
Take the month on which you plan to get married and analyse what the weather is normally like at this time of year. Of course, this wouldn't matter too much if you'll be opting for an indoor wedding but will be the deciding factor for those who are planning an outdoor one. By all means, go ahead with it, but be prepared just in case mother nature decides to literally shower you with her blessings.
