Bianee, My HTB also have the same problem. The most important thing is would you want to marry with him and walk until the end even he is a botak? If you can accept, it doesn't matter otherwise it will become a obstacle to continues move on.
So end up only the pre wedding shoot already cost her $4+
Anyway, just for your references. Some ppl like packages cause everything included, some ppl like a la cart cause they can choose the gown and photographer they like. Its mostly depends on your personal choice.
Good luck to you :)
Agree with what @sherlyn1620 say. Just like one of my friend, she sign up a taiwan package around $2k+, before sign up everything they also say okay but at the end she top up another $1k+ for those 'hidden cost' only for the pre wedding shoot.
Not really, only apply to some bridal shop like vera wang outlet at marina.
I do ala cart also, cause i dont like 'hard sell'. Rent my vera wang gown from a home based bridal shop. Their deisgner gown range between '$550 - $650', inclusive of dry clean.
Very happy with their service and gown.
