what I know is if you want a tulle gown (more materials) or even more crystals, you will need to top up another 1k...

In the end I signed with Calla
One thing I do not like is topping up for gowns... currently I'm looking at Jawn but they only brought out a few gowns and I only tried 1 simple gown. they say they will only show me the collection unless i sign... which is not something i'm comfortable with.

I'm considering that (roaming PG with instant print) or instaprint coz of space constraint to set-up the photobooth (depending on my venue). Saw them in action b4 at friends' wedding. Fast printing & pro!
I'm kinda anal abt how fast they can print out the pic & deliver it to the guest. I ever attend wedding where the printer stuck, staff v lost. End up many guest didn't get their instant print, I waited 30mins after dinner end just for the prints. I dunno how the couple deal with the physical prints, maybe post it to guest or put it aside. I know I'll be disappointed if this happened at my wedding.
Thus far, from the wedding I attended, Livestudio & Mojoideas r good. Fast & good quality prints.

Yeah livestudios looked good but it's quite expensive to engage them for the additional cost as compared to getting the soft copies of the prints and sending them out myself...haha. As for VG, it's just more for the capturing of moments... even with no gate crash I'd still be interested to know what went on outside...

does it include pre-wedding shoot??

Hi, the package does not include pre-wedding, but you can add on to the package. I'm letting go of only the deposit of $1080 that has been paid, at a lower (negotiable) price. The original package is $2800, so the remainder to be paid to Digio is $1720.

hmmm i think most BS practice that... show u 1 or 2 gowns and will only show u full collection after u sign...

i remember i went to Z wedding and the bf ask the coordinator what happen if we dun like the gowns during that season... they replied that i will definitely like the gowns

im like - r u very sure?

I'm uncomfortable with that too. When we went around looking for gowns, I insisted on finding 'the gown' before signing. I think it's the wise thing to do before committing. I don't want to be caught in a situation where I feel compelled to just pick something...

i totally agree! but I remember the coordinator from BS mention that they can't let you wear past season gown coz it reflects badly on their shop... also that gown is for brides who are getting married around that time so it will be worn a few times... such gowns will be used for Photoshoot

anyway I'm not sure how true though...

good luck in finding that gown! :)

Hi Eiko, not really true, in fact I was shown close to 10 dresses to try (but only managed to try 3 becos the rest doesn't fit me, LOL) that's why I signed up with Sophia.
I went to Rico-A-Mona n the SA also shown me ard 6-8 dress which I only managed to fit in 2 dress.
IMHO, Rico dress n their package is quite reasonable. dress is so pretty. but their dress doesn't fit my body shape (im pear shape) so I end up choosing Sophia also becos I felt very comfortable with their SA n loveeeee their dress collection. Even my HTB's suit also really unique n nice :)

i think my fren ever show the animation before the AD highlights or sth....

hmm show the animation first before the 2nd march-in then AD highlights after the march-in?

So it'll be growing up montage AND animation before first march in? highlights confirm at 2nd march in...

I was thinking before ur first March in, do the growing up montage then start dinner... before 2nd match in, do animation then after the march in, u guys sit down and view the AD highlights.. Then do the yum seng...

Anyone has any idea if Hotel Ritz Carlton will have any upcoming wedding showcase?

I want to get the price for 2015/2016 dinner package . =/
 
Hi hi. If anyone is interested to explore bluebay wedding for pre-wedding photography, pls contact me. I have referral vouchers which entitled us both additional 6 photos each (cost $80 per photo).

I can also share my package n serve as a good reference point when you talking to the bluebay consultants. My experience with them so far has been a very pleasant one.

My email is [email protected]. Will be offering $50 cash from my own pocket as a token of goodwill.

Happy planning everyone!

How's the diference in pricing between Sophia and Rico? Do you need to top up for designer gowns for Sophia?

Sophia is pricier in terms. But really depends on how's your negotiations skills with the SA. LOL

I have quite a no. of frens whom signed up with them (I think 4-5) and has no complaints.
oh one perk they have which I really duno if other BS provide is that they allow one free anniversary photoshoot once a yr with one photo free.
meaning u can take pre-weds, maybe during ur pregnancy, after bb born, after bb starts walking n etc. which I think in long run would be quite worthwhile?

so far I have no complaints with them. I'm having my pre-wed photos taken in Nov, will update this page if I have any complaints or whatsoever :)

Wow, I agree that the free anniversary photoshoot is quite good. Does your package include the AD photography?

i am going down for appt with rico this wkend. can share ur package?

or things to look out? thanks!

Their package is quite reasonable although I regretted not bargaining for mother's gown. Anyway. It's inclusive of the following, try my best to recall:

AD:
1 AD gown
1 AD evening gown
(We did not take their suit, not impressive)
AD make up
6 corsages
Father's suit
Hand bouquet

Prewedding:
33 poses
2 gowns + 2 AD gowns
Suits (they allow me to loan one)
Make up
One album
Return of soft copy for selected pics

That's all I can remember. They quoted us $3288 without gst. Can look for fann and yenn yenn. Really helpful and not hard sell imo.

Hope this helps!

Hi Eiko, yes AD included.
My AD n ROM is on different day. therefore I have two days of 5hrs each of photography.
Is 5 hours of photography enough for the AD? I'm also splitting my AD and ROM, and those bridal I talked to wanted to ask me to take 10 hours for my AD :rolleyes: we were like...serious? Need so long?

What's your rough schedule like for AD? it might be packed for 5 hours but could end up just nice since you're splitting the ROM. Do they let u top up if u run overtime?

10 hours is including wedding dinner itself (or lunch). 5 - 6hrs is for morning, the gatecrash/morning events, whereas the remaining 4 - 5hrs is for the lunch/dinner. the photographer/videographer would take pics/videos of your guests coming in, your 1st & 2nd march in, your toasts and when your guests leave. so roughly 10hrs.

I think if have a full day of event 5hours not going to sufficient.
for me I'm splitting my ROM n AD but my AD I'm doing away the morning stuffs. So photography only starts during the tea ceremony before my dinner.

Maybe can ask for extra hours n see how much they are charging?

If I count backwards from 4pm, 10hours would mean starting from 6am, which is the makeup for morning session. Actually I'm trying to be a bit cheapo and hope by cutting down to 8hrs the photo/video can be cheaper. But I saw this amazing package by 12 Loves (VG+PG at $1,488 only) too hard to resist. Anyone heard of them?

I'm also splitting my ROM and AD *high five* but morning stuffs for AD would be like for makeup and bride fetching. Will you have any bride fetching or all your tea ceremonies be at the hotel? Where will you be holding your ROM?

Hi Cheerojess.. When's your AD? Did you try before their friday menus food?
Heard alot of ppl say their food is nice but mostly is for wedding on Saturday.
 
Mine is 12 june 2015. My fiancè tried their Sunday lunch n he like their food. I think food wise Shldnt be bad coz their cooks only cook for wedding banquets.

Hi Eiko,
for me, most prolly bride fetching will be really simple. jus really come my place/hotel to pick me up then proceed to his hse for those Chinese ceremony. then go back to my hse for something else ceremony? i'm not too sure abt how the Chinese ceremony goes about! :(
then after that mayb going to do simple ROM.
still thinking to do, Yatch/book a VIP room in a restaurant/hotel suite/or just do at the registry. I cannot decide. most prolly i'll have like 10-12pax only. ROM only inviting close relatives like grandmother n both side parents.

bride fetching I think is my ROM date.
So for AD, I think I will just check in hotel at 2pm. relax abit, wait for MUA to come ard 4+ then tea ceremony to start at 6pm for my folks.
my hotel providing a tea ceremony room for us.
I've booked with Amara hotel. (Tanjong Pagar)

then AD is 4 days later. should be just check in hotel, relac abit. have a nice bath n wait for my MUA to arrive. prepare for tea ceremony at 6pm. then go up change white gown n start dinner at 8pm :)
