Yippie Hurray! Finally tomorrow is friday. Been so shagged and tiredz for the past whole week. Been extremely busy sourcing for Bridal studio, Actual Day (AD) Photographer (PG) & Videographer (VG).
To update from my last post about our visit to Divine Couture. One word. GORGEOUS! It has not failed my high expectation of it. The wedding gown (WG) I mean, hee... Met up with Kim, the designer and she was very friendly and pleasant. She was also very professional, in terms of understanding what kind of WG I'm looking for and explaining to me the effect of different kinds of fabric. She hand picked a few WG with different material and cutting for me to try on. Every piece was so beautiful, and seems to fit me so well, without any piece being too tight or too loose.... which was such a coincidence, and makes me wonder is this "The One"?? I really love the first piece that I've tried on. A princessy ballgown, with unique back detailings and organza material. Even baobei's eyes lited up when he saw me in the WG. It really has the "WOW" effect, which I regarded as the utmost importance for a WG. And that is one step closer to getting my dream gown.
The second piece was also pretty, with a low-back cutting, and seams of the low back embossed with swarovski crystals and tulle skirting. I find that their WG really has some special detailings without being over-the-top. And all their OTR WG are so nice and does not look "old" as in being wore for upteem times. Seriously, I do not mind to take the OTR selection, as I fear that MTM design may not turn out to my expectation. Baobei was asking me if we are allow to take some pics with the WG. But I paisay to do so, as there was another couple there for fitting, and we would appear to be suan ku for doing so. And also I would like to keep the suspense of how my WG will look like.... you will know when you come to my wedding that day, ok? Lolzzz. (",)
But the downside is of course their pkg price is not cheap, plus they only tied-up with PG studios, and therefore it seems like "Ala-carte", as in Bridal and PG are separate. Which also means nuthing much we can negotiate and bargain for. Plus, the pkg does not come with rental of tea-dress and fathers' jackets/ suits, which is kindof headache and will become additonal cost we will have to fork out for... hmm....
But upon discussing with Baobei, he agreed with me that their WG really impressed him. Plus, I get to MTM my Evening Gown (EG) and take home. Not like other BS, whereby they will usually only offer MTM (Rental). He also felt that Kim was very professional indeed, knowing what kind of WG suits me. After all, we should be "wearing" the dress instead of the dress "wearing" us, right? Moreover, he can then rest assured that his MTM suits will be in good hands, since baobei is also very particular over his suit. He had compromised when it comes to the pre-wedding photos. But that is a different set of headache, as we would then have to decide which PG to take up if we get Divine's pkg... haiz... decision decision decision... guess I shall leave it up to baobei to decide since he is sourcing for AD PG & VG. But something he said made me really touched. He said that I should chose the WG I really like, as he wants me to be happy with no regrets for the wedding. So sweet of him... "Thank you dearie!" :*
As for the AD PG & VG, we've decided to engage Coffee & Tea Dreamworkz, located at 44C Tras Street. Before that, we went down to Stefian, but find their animation works only so so. Plus the guy who is supposedly the VG was unsure of alot of things when we asked him. Which make us confused and doubtful. Even though Coffee & Tea's combo pkg was abit steep, but we think it will be $ well spend, as we do not want to sacrifice quality for that few hundred bucks of savings. Imagine these will be the only documentation of your special day in your whole life. It's priceless memories. We also especially like their coffee table album, which is a compact, light-weight magazine style album, with the couple's photo designed as the cover. And their animation was cutezz too, and we can even do our own narration if we want to, haha... and most importantly, they are able to churn out the express edit, like within 5 hours, so that we can share the morning tea ceremony with our guests just before the dinner starts. Thinking of it makes me feel excited about our Big Day... can't wait for it to come..
And we've also signed the contract with Intercon Htl. We've even managed to squeeze in some time to visit My Bridal Room, another BS located at Tan Que Lan Street. (The stretch beside previous shopping mall, The ICON.) I was only curious to find out more after reading all the good post in SgBride forum. But alas, I only find them to be of average and none of the WG appeals to me. But probably because after I've seen Divine's WG that my expectation only gets higher. The sale staff, Uncle Quek was friendly, but one thing both baobei and I does not like, he was too long-winded, bit of boastful and he made negative remarks about other BS, which I find, is very unprofessional. No point having excellent service, but being unprofessional. It just goes to show how they will deal with their customers. But to be fair, their pkg was still quite ok, although not as attractive as DiGio's offer. I didn't even bother to negotiate as we just planned to see see look look only, hee...
This week passes by so fast, especially being so hectic, rushing off after work to visit BS, PG & VG with baobei. But I was quite amazed that I can be so decisive when usually I'm very indecisive when buying shoes or clothings... keke. And this coming sunday is Kelvin and Madeline's wedding. I've to accompany baobei in the morning for the car convoy. Ok, better to have more rest tomorrow and on saturday too. My eyes can hardly stay open... Hope to catch some rest during the upcoming CNY break.
