Love Nest: ID Selection

After ding-dong for 2 to 3 months, we finally decided on the ID company for our house renovation. We selected this company called Starry Homestead. They are located at 140 Paya Lebar Road, AZ @ Paya Lebar Building.
 
Chose them amongst tonnes of ID companies because of their portfolio and our rapport with the ID. We are mainly overhauling the kitchen and 2 bathrooms, doing up a feature wall and black frame for the kitchen area as for the other areas of the house, it will be just purely be hacking of cornices & false ceiling, rectifying some existing issues and painting.
 
We had such a headache when the ex-owner shifted all their furnitures away! We noticed lots of horrid problem with the house, the house was so poorly maintained and rectifying it, eats into our budget. Geez!!!! Oh well nvm, let's move on..
 
The package we signed with the ID was under $38K. Another lump sum after the wedding -.- '''

The renovation will be starting in 2 weeks, hopefully everything will be smooth..
Will update with some photos of the renovation progress and review on the ID!

Fiorella: Florally Bespoked

Gifted.
A word that I would use to describe my friend of 15 years.
A search for happiness amidst her stressful job, made her reflect and brought to light that her love for painting, aesthetically beautiful things and colour coordination, can be used to her advantage. When she was planning for her wedding, she seeked online resources for wedding inspiration and chanced upon many beautiful bouquets which were not readily sold at florists or bridal boutique. And yes, Eureka! She found her sanctuary was in floral arrangements. Took up lessons from various florists in Singapore and through trial and error, mastered her own style of floral arrangements (classic, elegant and natural looking) and thus founding Fiorella.
 
Here are some of her flowers that customers have ordered:
Isn't the floral arrangements and colour combination insanely beautiful? More updated photos can be found on Facebook.com/fiorellabouquet or Instagram.com/fiorellabouquet
 
Despite just starting Fiorella less than a year ago, her flowers have been very well-received by many. She specializes in everyday bouquets and bridal bouquets. Additional wedding services such as corsages, car décor and venue décors are also available.
 
And yes of course, my bridal bouquet and J's boutonneire (worn for Singapore's banquet) were definitely from Fiorella :D  Apologies, my camera doesn't do the flowers justice, will show more when the photographer send me the AD photos :)
 
P.S. thanks to my dearest dearest friend for creating such an awesomely beautiful bouquet for me, I love it to death!

ROM: 1 step closer to being a Mrs

 
Collected our ROM cert few days ago and went for the marriage prep class after. The prep class was really interesting and we even have thoughts to sign up for the full course haha.
 
When we collected our cert, we had to do our oaths, and it was so awkward because there were other couples in the next cubicle -.- Oh ya and since it's SG50, they gave a special cert holder that has a velvety feel..

First Appt with HDB

After the wedding, we will be busy with the home renovation and furniture search, stressful but exciting :D
