Wedding Sponsor: Beehoon Productions Instant Prints Photobooth

Sponsored Post

17

Howdyyy chewyyys! Previously, I blogged about our wedding gatecrash and tea ceremony, followed by our wedding banquet dinner in a separate post. Today, I’m gonna tell you more about another very awesome wedding sponsor of ours! The husband and I were so thrilled because we had been toying with the idea of having an instant prints photobooth set up at our wedding banquet venue for the longest time! 😀

Founded in July 2010, Beehoon Productions (米粉制作) specializes in cinematography and photography for weddings, parties and events. No doubt founder of Beehoon Productions, Nigel Tan is barely 3 years into this business, but after looking at his various works, I can truly feel his sincerity through the tremendous effort that he puts in, in producing the best memories for his clients. Not forgetting that Nigel and is team are young and full of vibrant energy, anything and everything is possible! They have even ventured into underwater wedding photography!

ZC-3

About 1.5 months before our wedding, we met up with Nigel to have a look at the quality and past designs of their instant prints artwork. Basically, there are two sizes to choose from – 4R or card sized prints. Besides the photobooth, Beehoon Productions also offer the “Roaming Photographer” instant prints service whereby the photographers will roam around the reception and banquet to ask for shots.

ZC-2

Of course, we opted for the photobooth because there is a wide variety of cute and fun props that our guests can choose to pose with at the photobooth! These props definitely liven up the photos and also give an extra touch of wackiness!

ZC-1

Beehoon Productions took about 30 minutes to do their setup outside our ballroom at Orchard Parade Hotel and they were kind enough to stay till around 9pm in order to make sure that our guests had a chance at the photobooth. They were also very generous in sponsoring us unlimited 4R prints. At this point you must be wondering what printer they use! Beehoon Productions uses an industrial grade printer with a printing speed of around 12 seconds for each 4R photograph, which means that if you have 5 people in a group shot, it will only take about 1 minute for everyone to receive their instant prints!

ZC-13

My cousins seem to be having a good time at the photobooth!

ZC-8

More cousins! (LOL sorry my creativity in captioning is limited)

ZC-14

The idea is very simple. You queue, pick up as many props as you like, position yourselves properly in front of the backdrop and then strike your best pose for the camera guy! Speaking of backdrop, we chose a white one. There is also a pink and a blue backdrop, but you can only decide on one color. Beehoon Productions also offer, at a top-up, a live projections service whereby images can be viewed instantly while your event or wedding is ongoing.

Hahaha yeah call me bochup but I was simply too lazy to think of a layout design that I want and left everything to Nigel after sending him a few of our wedding photos for him to choose from. Basically, he cropped us out, together with ladder, blackboard, TV, stool and radio. Hahaha. I guess Nigel chose the wooden borders to fit our photo since it had some wooden elements in it. I chose to stay with this design so as not to complicate the overall outlook of the photo. Every customer is entitled to a unique customized border design which I think is really cool!

I have selected some shots to be shared in this post. You will be surprised that as many as eight or more people can fit into the photo booth!

The Chewys’ Wedding Banquet @ Orchard Parade Hotel

Greetings chewys! You all very emo cuz it’s Monday right? Haiii me too. Didn’t have time to work on my blog on weekdays so I did this over the weekend. It’s another post flooded with many many photos taken by Jack and Aaron from ZX Workshop Photography during our wedding banquet! 😛 If you have missed out on our earlier post on our wedding gatecrash and tea ceremony, here it is!

When misterchewy and I were looking for our wedding banquet venue, we were quite sure that our main focus was on the food. Everything else was pretty much secondary. We only went to Orchard Parade Hotel because we love Tunglok and the food is always remarkable.

AAL-2973

Actually, I kinda regretted a little after making our deposit because the ballroom is quite small and the ceiling is low. Oh wells.. It was comforting to know that everyone loved the food that night! 🙂

Our emcees, Ivan and Maureen.

Our wedding photoshoot montage was being played right before our first march in. It was done solely by misterchewy a couple of days before the wedding. I chose the English song while he chose the Mandarin one. Enjoy! 😀

I also dreaded the moment when we had to present our speeches because I did not and refused to prepare for mine! Hahaha. I just think that thanking through actions is more important than through a thank you speech.

ZX8_4931

AAL-3252

On the contrary, the husband was very well prepared and had everything that he wanted to say typed out in his iPhone. At that point, I was beginning to panic over what I had to say. LOL.

AAL-3260

He also dedicated a song 你是我最深爱的女人 (direct translation: You are the woman that I love the most) to me. Ummm not the entire song la. Just a small part of the chorus.

ZX8_4939

To be honest, it was kinda awkward for me. It was like.. Am i supposed to cry or something?! Hahaha.

ZX8_4943

He ended the song abruptly and asked me “Okay?” Wah lao machiam he owe me one like that lor. -_-

ZX8_4948

When it was my turn, I admitted to everybody that I didn’t prepare for my speech and proceeded with some thank yous here and there. LOL.

The Chewys’ Actual Day Wedding 3 March 2013 Photos and Video

Hihi chewy chewy friends! Sorry ah I know the above a bit distracting but please hear what I have to say. YES! I’m finally able to share our actual day photos and video! Ok that’s all I have to say for now. Before you do anything, please watch the above video first! Just need to click on the play icon but you might need to be patient and wait for it to load. Anyway, it will help to understand the activities which took place in the day better. Hurry and watch it! The husband and I LOVEEEE the video and we have watched it several times! I think if we were to watch it one million times also won’t be sian. Our videographer, Chin of ZX Workshop Photography did such a marvellous job! 😀 😀 😀

ZX8_4164

I’m gonna share the photos taken during the day of our customary wedding in this post! But hor, I need to warn you that it’s a super photo-heavy post. More than 180 pics I think? 😛

ZX8_4391

Aiya cuz I really love the photos taken by our main photographer Jack and additional photographer Aaron from ZX Workshop Photography so I ended up sharing like 90% of the shots here! Jack was also our PG for our ROM. There will be a part two, and that’s when the banquet dinner photos will be shared 🙂

ZX8_3698

The husband and I got together as bf and gf on 26 July 2010. About 3 months later, we applied for a BTO and got a pretty good queue number on our first try! Things kinda fell into place and we held our ROM on 9 September 2011 (09092011) shortly after misterchewy proposed a day before our 11th monthsary in June 2011. We agreed on another nice date 3 March 2013 (03032013) for our customary wedding! 😀

ZX8_3663

Needless to say, we had to wake up really early on this very important day! I couldn’t sleep the night before and ended up tossing in bed till about 11plus. Managed to wake up at 5am to shower and eat breakfast. My breakfast very simple one, just a small piece of kueh cuz I wasn’t hungry.

ZX8_3682

My makeup artist (MUA), PG Jack and VG Chin reached my place at 6am like what I had told them. All of them got cracking and no time was wasted. I wore pink contact lens on this special day! 😛

ZX8_3687

ZX8_3700

My bridesmaids arrived at around 6.15 to 6.30am and started preparing the 酸甜苦辣 (sour, sweet, bitter, spicy) concoction for the xiongdis to drink during the later part of the gatecrash!

ZX8_3703

ZX8_3706

Vincent is very professional and skillful. I liked my eye makeup and hairstyle! Told him not to bun everything up if not my face would look damn round.

ZX8_3726

ZX8_3742

ZX8_3746

ZX8_3747

It’s probably more obvious in this pic. Two days before the big day, I dyed my hair red. Some parts are fiery red because of the bleaching that was done earlier when I had my hair dip dyed purple last October.

ZX8_3749

ZX8_3758

Haha believe it or not, this super single bed can fit two 😛 The husband and I were even contemplating on getting this bed size for our future home! LOL then got more space to move around.

ZX8_3762

Only 4 bridesmaids in this pic because the last one overslept! LOL. Luckily she stays just across the street, so Maureen and Bee went over to knock on her door.

AAL-2405

And in the meantime, misterchewy and his groomsmen were running through the programme sheet that the both of us came up with. This was done only at the very last minute and we were quite stressed over it. We tried to be as detailed as possible and sent the sheet to our Jack and our XDJMs for a once-over to familiarize themselves with their respective responsibilities.

AAL-2420

AAL-2446

Soon, misterchewy and his brothers were ready!

ZX8_3784

And so were we!

ZX8_3787

Girl power yeah! Hahaha!

HAHAHA it was damn funny (from what I saw in the video) because the guys “yam seng” really loudly and for damn long la!

ZX8_3916

Bridesmaids also joined in “YAMMMM! YAM YAM YAM YAMMMMMM!”

AAL-2640

Still yam-ing until Maureen very sternly told them, “OK! 够了!喝!” (OK! Enough! Drink up!) and the guys really guai guai finish.

ZX8_3929

At this point, the girls demanded for their “open door angbao” before the next two tasks could be carried out.

ZX8_3934

ZX8_3936

Task #4: Dance to Wonder Girl’s “Nobody Nobody But You”

8618299793_6dc7649194_b (1)

During our meeting, my bridesmaids and I were thinking of a song to make the guys dance to and they were strongly against Gangnam Style. LOL. I suggested this because it’s like “I want nobody nobody but CHEW!” Geddit? Hahaha 😛 I must say the guys danced quite well!

Task #5: Retrieve the right key to get past the gate

It was also a Chinese tradition that I had to throw the fan while the car was moving and my brother and to pick it up. He’s behind the lamp post in this pic. This means that I will still return home to visit them. Before the day of our wedding, I joked to my bro that I will make him chase after the car for 5km before throwing the fan. LOL.

ZX8_3781

Hellooooo chewys! Very long never hear my ‘voice’ right? Hahaha. Just got back to work after returning from our honeymoon trip so basically I’m busy clearing hundreds of emails and trying to piece things together. And by the time I get home, I’m like already half dead. Very eager to share our free and easy travel experience around Europe so stay tuned for the upcoming blog posts. The husband and I have a #thechewyshoneymoon hashtag on Instagram so you can check some photos out in the meantime 🙂 On Tuesday night, we went to collect our actual day wedding photos and video from our photographer at Vivocity and we are super satisfied with the PGs’ and VG’s work! Wanna share as much as we can over here but first, let me do a feature on one of our wedding sponsors, ClothingCandy!

ZX8_3785

Thanks to ClothingCandy, my bridesmaids were each adorned in a beautiful Sky Blue Bridesmaid Dress. I absolutely love this piece even though I didn’t get a chance to wear it. It’s a really unique design for a bridesmaids dress featuring my favorite shade of blue and the chiffon material is really soft and light. ClothingCandy has a very wide collection of bridesmaid dresses and other cocktail dresses from sizes XS to XXXL. Plus size dresses are at no additional cost! Other than bridesmaid dresses or dresses in general, there are also plenty of shirts, hoodies, pants, etc to shop for, which are affordable, trendy, of great quality and exquisite design.

Hellooooo chewys! Got miss me or not?! Sorry I was missing in action from blogging due to the customary wedding and subsequently work, but I was still somewhat active on Instagram and Facebook! Hehe so next time you know where to ‘look’ for me if you miss me 😛 By the time you are reading this, misterchewy and I are already in Europe for our long awaited honeymoon. Will be away for 3 weeks and I don’t have time to generate new content here so I am sharing some snap shots from our actual wedding day contributed by our friends! 🙂

2nd march in was much better and I felt more relaxed! Song was “Unbreakable” by Westlife.

Wedding Update: Gelish Manicure Party for my Bridesmaids

_MG_2131

Helloooo chewys! We are counting down the days (less than a week) to our customary wedding! Many friends like to ask me this question, “So how? Wedding coming soon. You must be excited right?” Answer is NO. Really, I’m not excited at all. In fact, having been legally married to misterchewy in September 2011, it feels weird to be preparing for the customary wedding now. Somehow, we feel like 老夫老妻 already. LOLOLOL.

_MG_2075

Ok so anyway, I decided to pamper all my bridesmaids with a gelish manicure party recently. Hahaha it wasn’t quite a ‘party’ but it sounds nice so yeah. It was during the CNY period which explains all the goodies lying around! Nom nom nom~

_MG_2081

As usual, I got Krist to help mainly because I trust her to do a good job. So far, she was responsible for my nails for my ROM, ROM party and wedding photoshoot.

_MG_2079

Ying Pei was the first to reach so Krist worked on her first while we waited for the rest.

Cant remember what they were talking about. Haha.

Maureen spent 3 days making jelly hearts for us! So niceeeee!

_MG_2110

Sorry my photo doesnt do justice to Maureen’s jelly hearts. It tasted damn awesome I tell you! I wonder when will I get to eat this again 😛

_MG_2112

Duno why Pei Rong looked so happy here. LOL.

_MG_2114

All my bridesmaids really very serious. Sometimes I wonder who’s the one getting married. Hahaha. Discussion and taking notes in progress!

Wedding Update: Groomsmen Meeting @ Saveur French Restaurant

_MG_1907

Hello chewy chewy friends! It’s me again! Not misterchewy yo. Aiya he’s supposed to be the one typing out this entire post but he’s reaaaally busy with work and wedding prep (not that I’m not doing anything) so this will be a pictorial post on his behalf. Introducing misterchewy’s gang of brothers cum groomsmen who were also his university mates! Aiseh.. Look like Backstreet Boys! The hubby treated them to dinner at Saveur which is a very popular French restaurant at Bugis. The food photos were taken by misterchewy himself. Not I want to praise my own husband but they are not bad considering I’m usually the one who takes the photos! 😛 Oh ok he just told me he can do an introduction on his xiongdis. So I’ll pass the typing over to him now! 😀

Wedding Update: First Bridesmaids Meeting @ Au Chocolat

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 055

Hola chewy chewy friends! It’s the start of a brand new week! *Groan* Ok just kidding. Anyway, many friends have been asking misterchewy and I, “How are your wedding preparations coming along?” Our standard reply would be, “Ummm.. Like that lor.” We are researching on our honeymoon trip first because friends are shocked that we have not booked our air tickets and all. As for the wedding, we have yet to send our invitation cards for printing and look at the Guo Da Li (betrothal gift exchange) things. Yes very last minute I know. But wait! At least I managed to hold my very first bridesmaids meeting at Au Chocolat @ Marina Bay Sands! 😀

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 050

I was actually very thrilled to have all my jiemeis meet one another because they are very outgoing and sociable girls! Everyone in the group knows at least one other girl because they have met before. Shall elaborate later! I had to pick a good venue because all of us reside in various parts of Singapore so we agreed to meet in a more centralized location. I picked Au Chocolat because I wanted a place with a feminine and taitai-ish vibe (even though I have not been there prior to the meetup!) 😛 Not a very wise choice because almost everyone was lost when they reached MBS!

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 039

Tadah! Meet my bridesmaids! From left to right: Ying Pei (YP), Pei Rong (PR), Bee, Maureen, Adelene 🙂 YP knows PR. PR knows YP, Bee and Maureen. Bee knows YP, Maureen and Adelene. Maureen knows PR and Bee. Adelene knows Bee. Confusing or not? LOL.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 040

Me and my bridesmaids! Welcome on board! Hahaha 😀 Ok I shall introduce all my pretty bridesmaids one by one according to seniority!

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 029

Name: Pei Rong
How did we meet: She was my Orientation Group Leader in JC.
Fun fact: After her GCE ‘A’ levels, we kept in touch through snail mail for a while before Facebook made things easy for us.
Number of years of friendship: About 10 years
My thoughts: Pei Rong will be the big sister to guide my other bridesmaids in the planning. She is more serious and I will go to her for advice.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 037

Name: Maureen
How did we meet: Social Media
Fun fact: We crap a lot almost everyday on Twitter.
Number of years of friendship: More than 2 years
My thoughts: Maureen is the craziest, loudest and most-not-shy bridesmaid and I actually fear for misterchewy that she will come up with lotsa Mission Impossibru ideas for the gatecrash.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 033

Name: Bee
How did we meet: Secondary School
Fun fact: She’s the only female friend from secondary school whom I regularly stay in touch with.
Number of years of friendship: More than 10 years
My thoughts: Bee is the most clearheaded bridesmaid so she might help to assess how realistic the situation will be when the ladies are brainstorming for the gatecrash. She is also too innocent for her own good so I hope she becomes less innocent after this.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 035

Name: Adelene
How did we meet: Primary School
Fun fact: We were in the same class from P2 to P6 and I used to bully her in P2. LOL. And I don’t call her Adelene actually.
Number of years of friendship: Almost 20 years
My thoughts: Adelene is very responsible and she lives just across the street so she is my emergency contact person. I am very relieved that she agreed to be my bridesmaid.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 031

Name: Ying Pei
How did we meet: Tennis
Fun fact: I didn’t like her when we first met on the tennis court because she seemed quite hiao but guess what? She turned out to be nice enough to be my bestest tennis partner after getting to know her better.
Number of years of friendship: About 8 years
My thoughts: Ying Pei is not the loudest but she is very wild. Maybe it’s an age thing. If I am ever going to have a hens night party, I’m sure Ying Pei is the one who will help me plan something that I will remember for as long as I live. LOL.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 001

Ok and now, the food! I’m absolutely crazy about Truffle Fries ($15) and I’m glad to say that Au Chocolat’s did not disappoint with its generous amount of white truffle oil and truffle sea salt. The truffle fries was served with mayonnaise and BBQ sauce instead of truffle mayo but it was good on its own nevertheless.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 004

Ying Pei’s Handmade Mini Crab Cakes Sliders ($18) certainly look too cute to resist. The specially seasoned crab cakes were made in-house with guacamole, tomato & caramelized banana ketchup sauce sandwiched between mini sesame coated burger bun.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 021

For those with a ravenous appetite can opt for the Au Chocolat Club Sandwich ($20) which is easily mistaken for a ginormous burger from afar! Not that my petite bridesmaid Pei Rong has a monstrous appetite, but how could anyone turn down a traditional double decker stuffed with bacon, a sunny side up egg, grilled chicken fillet & sautéed mushrooms finished with Swiss cheese & tasty guacamole spread? Now that’s a mouthful, pun intended. The poor girl was desperately trying to share the calories with everyone else!

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 008

The Homemade Garlic Herb Pesto Pasta with Prawns ($25) is also a good choice if you wanna jumpstart your day with a bit of carbo boost. Our dear Adelene seems to be enjoying her dish!

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 019

Maureen and I chose the Au Chocolat Benedict ($18) which had perfectly poached eggs atop bacon, spinach, tomatoes on an English muffin smothered in their very own hollandaise sauce infused with red wine & dark chocolate. It still tasted pretty much like the usual hollandaise and I didn’t manage to detect any hints of red wine or dark chocolate. Be warned that eating this can be a very messy affair. The yolk squirted all over my plate instead of oozing out gracefully.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 012

For something even more awesome, go for the Ultimate Benedict ($22), which Bee did. Imagine hot fluffy pancakes topped with sautéed spinach, tomatoes, crispy bacon, roasted ribeye steak, roasted chicken & two poached eggs with our very own red wine & dark chocolate infused hollandaise sauce. I don’t eat beef but this sure sounds like one hell of a brunch.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 045

I think candid shots tell a little bit about someone’s personality. Look at these two shots and read “My thoughts” on each of them again. Hahaha.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 046

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 047

Basically, during the meeting, I introduced the girls to those whom they have not met. We talked a bit about the agenda of the actual day wedding, their responsibilities and I will check out on their bridesmaids dresses in the meantime.

Jiemei meetup @ Au Chocolat 048
