Z wedding photos are more ex then other Bridal studios.. But I heard if you buy more.. You can get cheaper.. Lol
Buy more and get cheaper? How much more do we need to buy? Any idea and how much cheaper will it be?

Oh dear! Sorry to read on what u have been through. Especially on the sentence there is no such thing as a perfect gown? Huh? As a consultant is her job to help you to find for the right gown right! Can I know why was the gown taken by another bride to be? Did you not paid for it? Or it can be reserved which is not fair for the other brides.
Am very worried as I have signed up with her as well! Have not went for my selection and she said that she will call me to arrange for the dates. Any other btbs signed up with Grace as well? Or any other recommendation that i can change to?

Really? They only give 28 poses on paper, 30 if you ask for a bit more. However, when they show you the pre wed sample album, there could be 4-5 poses on 1 page aloneMy designer told me that there isn't a need to buy more from them.
Go down on weekend and look for Samuel. He's the gown designer and only be there on weekends and I signed up with him. Hope this helps!

Unless you plan to stick to the given poses, having only 1 large picture per page then I dont think you will be in a position where you need to purchase more from them.

She's pretty nice was told by another BTB here that she was one of the redeeming factors of Z wedding after her horrible experience. But I don't like that she started saying bad things about the gowns from one of the shops near them when I expressed interest in checking them out (like their dresses are from china). I guess it could be true? Still..shouldnt be bashing your competitors.Babe, same sentiments! If he said no need to buy, I think some how sounds so misleading. =( Can I ask if your consultant is good?
Are you sure? My gf whom was with them paid like 8K+ for additional photos. She shared with me that they have this package like depending on the no. of pictures you took. They will select the photos with you. But to be honest her photos was really good. Love their outdoor shots. Was thinking of Zwedding initially due to CL photography but Zwedding gowns didn't shouted to me when I was there.
I heard from other Z wedding brides that they managed to bargain prices but I think some bought 10 and some bought more than that.. I think 10 photos are about 1k which is cheaper than what is written in our package of like $120 per photo?
They like to psycho people to buy their photos because they call it series that tells a story?? But the way I look at it... It's like 3 same photos just different photos with the same background. Very waste money as I don't want to show guests almost the same photos in a single page and say it's some storyline..
If I were to buy photos in the end.. I will Ensure they are different background at least.. Those 4-5 shots in the album won't be able to see much I feel.
Babe you are a Z bride as well? May I know who was your consultant?
Yes from what i understand their selling point is base on your photos are supposed to tell a story too. I wonder if one dont have the strong will power will landed up being psycho till broke.

Thanks babe for the fast reply. I am seriously thinking of changing after reading on such negative experience. It's not as if there are one of the cheapest and I was told that they do not take part in bridal shows but saw that they were in BOWS. Sigh, I will go in with an open mind. Am actually having mixed feelings already and don't know if I had made the right choice. Was looking at another forum on reviews as well and it made me even more uncertain.
Have you went for your gown selection with Samuel? How did it went? Gown designer?
On the gown begin taken & what happened before she said those to me - I'm gg to copy & paste it here as I have replied on another page
It was not on my first selection. What happened was that on my first selection I have selected a black night gown and unfortunately my mum disapproved of it being that it was black. The very next day I got my hub ( as I left for a trip) to call Grace to inform her that I need to change my night gown to any other colors but black. I then went back for a second selection and found another night gown and after trying I told Grace that I will change to this*gown. It was then she told me or realized that there another bride to be KIV this night gown. That she needed to check and will get back to me. I told her that she have to let me know early as I was going to be out of town again. I waited for I think 2 weeks ( can't really rmb) before she called me back*which was a Sunday only to tell me that the gown have been confirmed. So which means*after the bride KIV for some time and she confirmed it.
On my third selection back, I did asked her why did she inform me this late and honestly there is nothing I liked already. Their night gown selections only have those range. She told me that this customer is actually her customer as well and getting married on the same day as me. And that this customer was quite difficult to deal with and that she was picky with her gowns as well and adding on that her customer went to Le grand for her first gown as she couldn't get anything she liked. At a later part (on the same day), she told me that this bride to be actually confirmed this piece of night gown before signing up for the package. So I don't know which is which. If the latter was right then this bride to be have confirm this gown before signing*the package then shouldn't had she told me earlier instead of making me panic? Or even if she was swam up with work, she could have checked after I left on this gown and get back to me? Since she mentioned that this bride confirm wanted this gown and is what's more is her customer? Confusing isn't it. She did in fact on my 3rd selection helped me to look for other gowns but I liked none. At the very last minute I too was at a lost and photo shot was around the corner. Hence I did asked if I didn't manage to get a night gown will it be funny if I go without one for the photo shot, her words was - Up to me.
It made me felt that the other bride to be was more demanding than me, hence I was at a losing end? I really don't know.
Hope this sums up for you. Not to worry as this was my personal experience. Maybe I was the unlucky one instead.
PS - If it helps, I was told that Grace was being asked to leave and that she is no longer with the company as there were other negative feedbacks lodge against her as well. If it's true, you have no worries at crossing path with her.
anyone did ala carte? i booked my PG and VG only. now i need to look for gown rental pacakges (w/o PG/VG) - any recommendations? MUA and gown rentals pls
Actually Z wedding is at every bows.. At least when I go to bows.. They are always there.. I signed up mine at bows too.. But I didn't see them at other wedding fairs like style weddings and her world..
Dear BTBs
Which is better:
Top up BS for AD photographer/videographer
OR
Source for own AD photographer/videographer?

From what I heard, a gown can be reserved anytime from the moment u sign ur package..Omg! Can a gown be reserved by other btb for that long? Wouldn't that be unfair to others? Thanks for sharing! At least when is my turn I will know what to look out for. If you don't mind when were you asked to pay for the balance?
Say what? Grace is no longer there? She told me that she will follow up with me and I hope that they do not forget to call me. Maybe I should give them a call instead soon!
Do you mean you can't indicate which date you would like to do your PS on? That's zzz.. you are the customer why make it seem like they are doing you a favour.I'm quite Glad to hear that she left too.. I didn't quite like her when I went down and wanted to book a date for PS.. At that time I didn't know if I would need to travel for work but I htb and I were really interested to take PS in Feb as the weather wouldn't be too hot..
I know it's our fault for not having an exact date in mind.. But she was not very interested to entertain us and told us that sure got dates to do PS.. Don't need to do so early when your wedding is in oct.. Even if you take early, we will do others first before handling yours." Somewhere along those lines.. So actually quite pissed with her and we didn't settle on a date in the end..
I see, I thought they don't as they always establish themselves at a higher end and I only saw them at bows recently.
Hi huxyhuxy,Hi Alicia, I ended up taking a gown rental from Z wedding instead as the dress I like from Mybridalroom was rather plain and my mom didn't think it's WOW enough to be a wedding gown (LOL) But i love Ginny she's v cute!
As for Yang, we have signed up for their actual day videography instead of prewed+wedding day which comes up to about $5000 if i'm not wrong. His total package for pre-wed and actual about 9-10k? Kind of pricey and I was really apprehensive about spending the $ but my HTB and I met him in person and loved his personality. I guess we had some chemistry going there, so after the THREE hours (freaking long lol ) meeting we decided to sign with him. Hope this helps
Really? They only give 28 poses on paper, 30 if you ask for a bit more. However, when they show you the pre wed sample album, there could be 4-5 poses on 1 page alone

Have you went for your gown selection with Samuel? How did it went? Gown designer?
Babe, same sentiments! If he said no need to buy, I think some how sounds so misleading. =( Can I ask if your consultant is good?

They will select the photos with you. But to be honest her photos was really good. Love their outdoor shots. Was thinking of Zwedding initially due to CL photography but Zwedding gowns didn't shouted to me when I was there.
I also had friends who paid 4K extra.. It's how they psycho you.. But like I said in my previous comment.. If 1 page is going to be on the same background and it's just 3 slightly different poses.. I wouldn't buy the photos cos it doesn't make sense..
I'll be choosing my gown next Tuesday. Yes, Samuel told me the same thing too that they don't participate in bridal shows. But benefit of doubts, they're not management. So might be management's decision that they have decided to do so. As long as they provide me what I want, I'm okay with it.
Daniel Yam? Their service is quite good.
Hihi. Anyone knows where can I buy nice and affordable evening gown for my mum and mil?
I actually don't give them benefit of the doubt for saying that.. Because they are there at BOWS.. And I mean most of their staff.. Lol.. But whatever they say lah.. As Long as the end product is good.. Haha
Hi huxyhuxy,
Wow yang is really ex... I am also looking for videographer for actual day only. U mean urs too for actual day videographer from yang comes up to about $5000? If it's good I really don't mind cos is like once a lifetime lor... Heex...
Yes he is one of the better ones I guess. $5k for actual day videography, $10k for both prewed and actual. We didn't have any mindblowing ideas in mind for pre wed so we are likely to skip Yang for that portion. If you engage Yang, you are able to get some savings if you also sign up with his photography partners, etc
BTW, can I ask the rest here if it is normal to engage individual photography vendors for Pre wed shoot and only receive 30-40 edited pictures back without raw pictures returned? It's as good as taking the package from the bridal studio right.. I'm kinda miffed that a photographer I like to engage for a shoot came back with those terms
Upon photoshoot if I'm not wrongAnyone knows when do we have to make full payment for bridal shop. Have already paid 50% payment so far. Just wondering how does most bridal shop works.

I paid 50% when I confirmed with them.. The balance 50% is broken down into 2 payments, 30% and 20%.. Cant remember when is the 2nd payment but I know the balance 50% is paid when I go for the photoshoot..
Hi Ladies!!! Finally, I'm done with my wedding!!! Here's a short review to the best of my collections of feedback from my relatives and guests!!
Thomson Wedding Collections: Superb!!! Their service is good and most importantly the gowns are so beautiful!!! My relatives love it!!! Picture perfert too. I kind of like being slimmed down by the cutting of the gowns too. I mean at least I look good in photos. haaahaaa
Hotel (My hubby doesn't want me to reveal venue): So I can only say it's the usual 5 stars hotel in Orchard.
But there is one thing that I really need to mention!! My wedding emcee Sylvia!!! Oh my!!! She is so wonderful!!! She changed the entire atmosphere of my wedding banquet. Not like those boring weddings that I have attended. She's worth every single cent of my pennies!!
You know those reviews about guests being offended by her are all nonsense! I think those people are just jealous of her fun loving, charming and super good talker character. My guests loved her!!! They were all singing praises of her after the wedding. She is so good in filling up those gaps that there isn't a single awkward moment during the banquet. Best of all, everything she said or do refers back to me and my hubby. She never took any attention from us and yet she facilitate the entire banquet so well!!
I'm so proud to have her as my wedding emcee and as my family and I were watching the videos snippets of our wedding banquet, we were all still smiling and laughing at the night's programs! And if you think she is expensive, I finally understand something 'you pay for quality'. It's just as simple as that.
mines in Dec 2016.. and i already 'softbook' my JP ☺ usually they will confirm with u about 2-3 months before!
hi ladies,
if my wedding is in late June, when will the hotel contact us regarding invite cards, food tasting & banquet theme deco?
I havent heard anything from my wedding coordinator on all these yet, not even a scheduled date! not sure if this is normal.
