*ENVY*..TINGZ Ooff to bkk!
hullo corin and roysharon! welcome to oct thread!
roysharon..ummm...congrats than..at least you settled on that already...
corin..you there?..um...perhaps, if you are both on BS HUNT, best...do abit of research and also take a look at magazines to see what kind of designs that you would proberbly like.
Of cos, what looks good may not look good on you, so it would be best to try on the gowns. Most BS would allow you to try them on.At least you know how the GOWNS floW on you...the feeling of looking yourslef on the gown is totally different when you just browse on them.
Maybe you can narrow it to :
1. Eurporean designs or Taiwanese Designs or CS
(You may chose to design something you think may be suitable for YOUR height of ? m)
2. Material type, would prefer duchess satin or organza instead the normal satin OR "Taffeta" material..prefer a small or medium train behind the gown? Detachable train?
3. Silhouette : A-line or empire or princess cut, mermaid cut?
4. Sleeve length : Spaghetti or sleeveless tube or off shoulder?
The next thing would be is car required? If yes maybe you look at BS that has car in the package which is a 1-stop BS..it comes with gowns,MUA, photographs for indoor/outdoor shoots and basic package.These BS you usually can bargain for more pictures and additional stuff.
If $ is not the concern you may look at the higher end shops...which does not include car, only photographer outdoor/indoor shoots,MUA and gowns and the rest a basic package will have. This means the photograpahers would be the reknowned ones like Chris Ling, Montage, Utopia, The edge,
Beetles@work etc. These BS you can't bargain for more pictures, you have to speak to the photogrpahers...and normally their dun give.
You have to see their works to decide the photogrpahy part. If it's the quantity you are looking at..these photogrpahers are charging at high price for additional pictures. If it's the quality only and you are not having additional pictures can safely take them. It all depends on how much you willing to spend.
When you have make up you mind than you can narrow down a few bridal shops to visit.
It's not a must that you have to sign on the enquired BS.
Depending on your $ we at the OCT Thread can help narrow down the BS for you. Ultimately, you make the decision.
As for venue, er..depends of cos the budget, some are ok with price some prefers a bigger carpark..some prefers the theme of ballroom without pillars...of cos that depends on your no. of guests too.. Try estimate your total no. of guests so you know whether to go for hotels that hae no restrictions.
Try bargain also for free flow beer/wine? or at least 1 bottle wine per table..additional night foc?
VG/PG..I still looking YK is booked!!! Who booked my "Yew Guang" on 7 Oct huh? haaa..
Roynsharon, I guess if you are not particular about photography just take recommendaton from the gers here..if not I suggest you take a look at their PG pictures or webbie for AD or try meet up with them in person... I must say...ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS style and concepts PRESENTATION are very different.
Yan06! *hugs* biz with what..? now than appear huh!
