What made you take Digio over Cang Ai?

Cos the Cang Ai rep wasn't very friendly and didn't seem interested to serve me. Didn't allow nego too. When I commented that her quoted no of pics is too little, she said "You go other bridal it's all the same", kinda rude and afterwards I got a much better deal at Digio with a very friendly rep so I got sold there. Cang Ai rep didn't show me any gowns or let me tried any while Digio rep happily picked out alot of gowns for me to try. Was a happy customer at Digio!

Hahahahha Rico was the only bridal I went too as well, wanted to go to Z wedding but changed my mind after!

I actually shortlisted a long list and was planning to visit a few but got sold very quickly :x
Z wedding was in my list too! But didn't get to go there. It's okay tho cos I realized I don't like their photography style - too "dark"

I just found my location and bridal. Any recommendations for photography and videophraphy for pre-wed and actual day? Hoping to have those timeless kind of pictures. Haha.

That's a pity cos the Cang Ai coordinator that I met was really really nice, and she was the first person who showed me gowns and let me try them as well.

I have to say, Digio's gowns and service is good too!

Sometimes it's luck! Everywhere sure got nice and not so nice staff de. So you signed Cang Ai?

Rico has more elegant gowns whereas Digio has more princessy gowns. Depends on your preferred style! They're sister companies anyway :)
What about their evening gowns? I went both but did not get the chance to see clearly for the colourful gowns. I worried if it will be limited or not :X

I only went Digio so I can't comment on Rico. I went upstairs to check out their evening gowns too but didn't try on. Only tried wedding gowns. Digio has 4 storeys :D

I only put down $100 to hold the promotion, will be going back with the SO for him to check it out before signing. So far, I'm really liking their service and gowns!

They have more wedding gowns than evening gowns. Evening gowns is a little bit limited.

1st/2nd level: WG + EG
3rd: men's suits
4th: outdoor gowns.

Personally I went to Digio too and Went to even see their studio. Overall v friendly and I felt Rico service was even better, but wanted to check on evening gowns selection (as I'm v particular on that).

I only went Rico when I was accompanying my friend to check out bridal shops as I've already signed Digio. Didn't check out their evening gowns. Anyway usually the gowns you like when you sign the package, will be 'downgraded' to pw gowns when it's your time to choose your actual day gowns, cos that's another year later. Bridals will have new collections every now and then and remove the current gowns to use for photoshoots instead.

Hihi everyone, I'm a Jan 2017 bride too scheduled for 1 Jan 2017.
Haven't had much planned yet since I find it still early, the main headache was venue selection.
So because it's a public holiday, we decided not to hold it at a hotel due to all the additional costs that will incur.

Final venue chosen: Joyden Hall

Was thinking of not signing up with bridal studio and get my gown tailored in JB or a local seamstress.
Pre-wedding photography wise I'm engaging my friend/popular wedding photographer couple: BlocMemoire

More updates in future!

There's extra charges for public holidays??
My friend used BlocMemoire for her AD, nice pics!

Actually it's not early to plan already.. In fact, I first contacted the hotel I want 1.5yrs ago but they were booked already. The photobooth vendor I contacted recently told me I'm his 4th client on my wedding day lol.

Hi Amber, many thanks for the update. I will make another visit to Digio and Rico again before making a decision. Thanks for the heads up

Wow 1.5years and they're already booked that's crazy! Looks like I gotta get ready now.. >.<
I love BlocMemoire's photo styles too! but sadly my friends will be overseas for my AD so I'm only able to engage them for pre-wedding.

and yes there's surcharge for NYE/NY + CNY/CNY eve due to manpower issue all these. additional 50bucks per table for the hotels I've enquired - that's ridiculous!

Anyone has friends whom engaged with the Aisle before? and any recommendations for their MUA and photographer?
That time I just went to a wedding show and didn't even see other bridal studio, and sign up with them. Too irrational :x haha!

Oops I meant to say my friend used Blocmemoire for her Pw! She went Melbourne with them :)

anyone willing to share their bridal package and what to look for in those packages? because i'm going to BOWS, so roughly want to know the market price etc.
don't want to give myself a shock there. :D

can pm me, [email protected]
 

Why the shock? I was thinking of going later to just walk around (since I have settled most of my stuff) but I don't want to get chased around by promoters, haha!
Haha the promoters will keep asking you to go to their booth to hear their packages. I was approached by one of the bridals which happened to be in my black list but still i gave in and went to their booth after the promoter kept following me. One tip: either walk very fast straight to the booth you want to visit or reply them that you have signed a package with others ;)
