Hi Yenniefied,
I think it depends on what you want and your budget. Bridal studio package or ala carte each has their own pros and cons. Bridal studio package is more fuss-free since they provide you pre-wed shoots, makeup artists, gowns, bouquet etc. But you will probably have limited choices in your gowns as well as the photographer and MUA.
For ala carte, you have a say in choosing which photographer you want (there's tons of very talented photographers out there!) and also the MUA. You can also find those gown shops that provide only rental of gowns/MTM also available without any of the other services. This way, you can mix and match and get the best of what you want. Of course, these come with a price tag and more time spent in planning and choosing from the vast options available.
For me, I did a semi-ala carte. I took up a bridal package which gives me my gowns, my HTB MTM suit plus MUA plus dad's blazar (basically most of the outfits required etc) but without photography. And then I sourced for my own photographer, videographer and florist. Main reason is that me and my HTB didn't want the usual wedding album and prefer something more personalised.
So, perhaps you can decide your budget, how much commitment (ie. time) you can give if going for ala carte and how much compromise you can accept on your selection of gowns or the photographs or the MUA, etc..
Hope this helps! Cheers~
