hi Linda
Since you dun really like the gown and svs...maybe u can take that MTM gown to another BS to do touch up I guess u can explain to be yr situation .... try to negotiate the price with the other BS.... it not worth it to pay them more and more yr package might be end 4-5K.....

Hi Linda,
I really sympathise ur situation.I think u are really careless when signing the contract.Anyway,what's done cannot be undone.I think it's impossible to ask u to forfeit the $2388 which u have already pay.Have u try transfering ur invoice to some other brides whom can negoiatate for more stuffs?
I think as a customer u have ur rights to demand for the things u want lor.

Adeline,
My PS WG, EGs are for photo-taking only... my MTM is for my actual day... that's also why I am planning to go take some more personal photos on my actual day before going to the hotel... otherwise, very 'wasted' mah... the gown only wear for march-in only...
In total, I have 5 for my PS... but I only take 3 coz too heavy and dun think I have time to change into so many anyway... normally, the other 2 are more for studio... but mi no studio mah...
Then actual day, another 1 MTM, 1 EG & 1 teadress lor... so all different, unless I request for same one lor...
I juz check... think the Kitaro song that I have is not matsuri.. but inside the CD that I pass u shld have this song... u check?
Haven't receive that mail? okie... will send again..

hi hakida,
careless?? i think so bah.. but i am thinking more of them being having unprofessional ethics (give promise but never honour) and all the stupid hidden costs that they never tell u..
come to think again.. when signing the contract which is ard 30-45 mins of them sweet talking, can u actually think of so many things that u want at that particular moment???

hi linda,
sorry to hear about what you have gone thru' w ur bridal studio!
*hugs*
personally,i think if the makeup and hair is not up to std, you cld consider getting an external freelance makeup artiste to do ur hair and makeup. cos i think that's actually the most impt, cos it's how you'll look and affects greatly how the pics will turn out. even if ur gown is so-so, at least u'll still look good and it makes u feel good on ur wedding day. that's most impt.
as for photography, i think french bridal's photography is ok. unless u want to stop at what u have paid so far $2388 and say that you don't want the photography and makeup. you'll just take the gowns. then u can find another photographer to take ur pics.
do ur sums - see if ending the contract at $2388 and getting external MUA/ photographer is cheaper than topping up all the extras for french bridal's photos etc. if it's abt the same, why not go for the former... at least u'll be guaranteed good results for makeup and photos.
my 2 cents.

Thanks for your reply on the song. Actually there are 3 songs in the japanese show "ai qing bai pi shu", 1 more lively, 2 others slow one. The latest SENS compilation has the 2 slow tracks, but I want the livelier one.
Hi Dabee,
Thanks ... As I mentioned, unless can get the old SENS album, don't think the latest album has the one I am looking for *sob* By the way, how is your dog ?? recovered??

Hi Linda
Oraia has a point. Not sure abt trial makeup though..coz my BS dun provide one..instead the time is spent on discussing wif the MUA & photographer on our likes & dislikes..
Tink tat trial make-up is not realli necessary for me coz most of the BS dun realli provide a gd trial make-up. After all, a proper make-up take more than 1 hr..dun tink MUA got so much of tat time..maybe the AD & PS makeup will turn out much better?

Hi Joy,
I think it's not justFrench Bidal that has this problems.There is a few points to take note if u want to sign up with any BS.Never sign up on an impulse,have a thorough communication with ur coordinators,MUA,designer and photographer.Make sure everthing that they have promised u is written down in black and white.
U need to be comfortable with the BS so as to have an enjoyable process thru-out ur whole wedding preparation.
When is ur AD??

Ah ger,
Maybe cos you too busy with work lately, stress thats why. But hor, no worries, still months b4 december....
Joy,
my advise is to survey a few shops and then see what they offer. Never rush into signing unless you are sure even if they tell you that discount is only valid for that day. And then surf the web hmm i think yahoo wedding has got a list of items bridal packages usually provide. From there, you can also see what you need and then try to make sure you able to get all the items you need ..hopefully something more but not less esp if you need those things. You can also check with yr friends who are married abt their packages and what are the things to note. Some shops do inform you of the additional costs or things not inclusive in the package b4 hand. Luckily for mine, they do. Example most shops would expect you to pay for the makeup if there is a need to arrange for another outdoor shooting cos your original date for outdoor shooting is not possible due to weather. Usually make up artist will apply ampule for you. Whether ampule is additionally charged. This is most likely not included in the package. And also whether false eyelashes included. As far as i can recall for my BS shopping then, some shops charge whereas some don't. You will also need transport for photoshooting. Whether this is included or is the couple the one providing the transport. Also, though not everybody need to do that, there are also circumstances where brides want to add more shine/crystals on their otr train, you may wish to take note that this could be chargeable too. i am not sure abt mtm gown. For every item on the list, if you are unsure, never assume, ask the shop to make sure you know what you are getting. And if you are listening to the sales talk of the people in a bridal exhibition, i have read in forum before that those people who are in the bridal exhibition may not really be the staff working in that shop. They only in charge of getting your sales. When the agreement has been signed, you may not be served by the same person when their service for you really start. So you may also wish to enquire the gal or guy who try to "sales talk" you whether they are going to be your coordinator throughout the whole process (if this is important to you). However, i will say also can't avoid it if that staff resign later then i guess have to cross finger that the next person serving you will be a responsible one. And also to avoid any arguement later, it is better to ask them to write everything that they agree to give you on the agreement itself instead of trusting their words.
I guess for Linda's case, it was more of too rush in signing and missed out some points and also there was no one who had similar experience to tell her what to take note. However, i would say that shop is quite unethical too. To avoid such things, is probably better to research and compare and consider the different packages b4 you really sign on the dotted line..

joy,
i forgot to add, do also check the price of additional photographs.
Check out the things you need and then b4 u sign negotiate for it or negotiate for the price. After sign on the line, chances of negotiation is not as high unless you are really lucky.
Hope this helps.
