This indeed is a big milestone for us. We're a bit different from the norm pple. We don't want a Pre-Wedding Shoot, don't want a fancy Wedding Gown, don't need a make-up artist, don't need a wedding car provided. Hence, getting a package is of no use. This is all because we already have a volunteer for make-up, we have a KUA sponsered by Constance, she has her own Kebaya, we can borrow a car for wedding, don't like the traditional still and dead photography and we only need a simple dress for our Wedding lunch ! So getting a package is wasting our $$$ ! Plus we HATE bridal shops that HARD-SELL !! Died died wants u to commit on the spot !! Bridal Concept is the WINNER !! The lady boss kept repeating 讲真的,讲真的,讲真的. Kept repeating that they are the best studio that provides the cheapest packages and i can't find anything cheaper. Bloody Packages begins at $2888 !!! We met them at Park Royal Wedding Fair again and OOPS SHE DID IT AGAIN !!! Total Turn OFF !!!
As usual, things don't turn out the way we wanted. Haha ! It is definitely cheaper by a few hundred dollars to a thousand dollars if we were to arrange everything by ourselves. In the end, to save ourselves from all the trouble to do coordination on our BIG DAY, let the bridal studio do the job.
Took a Sunday afternoon to walkdown the entire stretch of Tanjong Pagar. Went to quite a few of Bridal Studios like Thomson Wedding, Z Wedding, Yvonne's, La belle, Le Grand, Flamingo. There is this 1 new small bridal boutique, Ilss'adrent, that doesn't attracts me at all but the lady somehow managed to start a small talk with Rowe.
I was quite impressed by the professionalism that Amber had given to us. She was more concern about how we can get the best gowns from her shop and even tried sketching out the gown that we had in mind. It was her attitude and good service that convinced us to take a package with them. The package was rather steep but we had a 50% discount for that. In the end, it cost us $2894 dollars. I did a research and found out that someone took the same package as us and there wasn't any discounts. Guess we had a great bargain !
