Bridal affairs (1st appointment)

Although bridal affairs is in a hdb home,but the service was not bad after all.
When we reached,there is another couple before us so Christin who is running a one woman show attended to us n let us in and we wait for her in the living room.
Finally it was our turn as the last couple left,Christin led us to a room and served us water.
There are few packages to choose from and depends on your needs.
But in the package if you could not choose a wedding gown and groom's suit with pants in the basic range that you like.
The rest of the wedding gowns requires an additional top-up.
They have 4 category of top up for the wedding gown.
Classic,premium,super premium and elite.
For my case,most probably I won't be holding a wedding banquet.
Christin advise us that with the classic or premium wedding gown will be enough.
As today was the first visit to bridal affairs,with the explaining of 2 packages to us and actual day photography and videography i felt the time for trying the gown was limited.
Having only tried 3 wedding gowns,we make another appointment again.
The 2nd appointment will be in Jun 2012.
Will update again then.

Photoshoot package & Actual Day Package Hunting

Last year,hubby and I signed a photoshoot package with Bluebay Wedding.
Bluebay Wedding is from Taiwan but they do have a branch in Singapore situated at Delfi Orchard.
After negotiation & freebies thrown in,our package came up to $2080nett with the makeup artist follow us throughout the photoshoot for free.
But there are some items not included in the package which we have to fork out additional money.

Our package includes:
Wedding photography package 12"x18"-30 sets
Canvas effect &waterproof arrangement
Indoor studio shots & outdoor shots
20"x30" canvas mounted photo with frame
Photo album suitcase
Soft copy of selected photos

Services provided on the day of photography:
Bride & groom makeup & hairstyling
Shirt, bow tie,white shoes for the groom
For the bride - wedding gown & evening dress (5 selection)
Fresh bouquet of flowers for photoshoot
For the groom - black or white European-style suit (2 selection)

These are the items that are not included in the package(additional expenses)
Each additional photo $80
Each handmade additional photo $54
(we do not need this)
Ampoules & make up base $23
Courier delivery charges ard $250-$400
Transportation fee for outdoor shoots (North Taiwan)- 4 hours $90,every additional hour $14
Transportation fee for outdoor shoots (Central Taiwan)- 4 hours $156,every additional hour $14
Entrance fees for some place that you need to go in & take your photoshoot.

I like the scenery in Taiwan.
Therefore, we signed the package with them after 4hours of viewing the photo
album & negotiation.
Overall,their customer service was good even when they are closing their shop but they did not hurry us out.
Appointment is needed to talk to them.
I'm not affiliated with them in any way.
My photoshoot haven been fixed on Jul 2012.

Since I was already with them, there's no harm asking about their actual day package.
I find that it's not really worth to take up their actual day package since they do not include the groom's suit with the price that I saw.

Most probably my chinese customary wedding day will be held in the month of Dec 2012.
So it's time to start hunting the actual day package.
I google a few bridal shops and have done my research on what kind of wedding gown I like.
Filtering out, I have listed 2 bridal shops.
They are bridal affairs and bridal veil.
I have colleagues who have experience with bridal veil,therefore I am not in a rush to make an appointment with them yet.
For bridal affairs, info from forums that they do their business from home, therefore appointment need to be fixed to view or try out their gown.
They do have a website which there are different packages to your needs.
Lastly, we will see how it goes since I have fixed an appointment with bridal affairs.
