Hi All,
I have signed up Venus Bridal ytd..here wat happened ytd:
-we took bus from city sq to Tebrau city/Jusco. Intending to wait for
some one from Passion BS (Johor Jaya) to fetch us from Jusco to the
Passion BS. However bus ride (RM2.50ea) took 30mins alone. Decided not
to go JJ to get BS le due to distance and considering the no. of Trips
we have to make there..since distance is so impt, might as well don go
Passion see at all and make us more confused.
-Took Taxi to Sentosa RM18. Taxi driver drop us outside Inspiration.
My tot is sentosa is just a one street small place so all those
commonly mentioned BS shd be ard. To my surprise the place is so so
big. We did not enter Inspiration first tot we can see if the other BS
is ard. End up since i only bring Venue Address w me, aft asking afew
locals, walked a long way to Venus (Across the Bridge)
-Asked & talked to Joelle. Looked at the "Shi Jing" Studios (got 7/8
of them I think) & some AD gowns. As told by her, alot of nicer gowns
are taken out for AD by brides.
-End up we just took Venus since it is so strongly recommended since
we cant find SG Bridal (eyes blind, it is really diagonally across
Venus). Looked at their gown pic cards and many of them seem nice.
Guess it all depend on luck in the end if can get the gown i really
want for AD & whether it is available. I mentioned Yvonne as my
referer.
Here's my Package:
A)Classic Type RM4088
B)Signature Type RM4588
* Both package is the same exclude B) have more newer/better designed
AD gowns
- We took A) first with option to top up that RM500 diff if we wan to
get signature AD gowns instead.
- Since 17 Jan 09 is only our ROM+buffet reception outdoor type, we
dont feel the need to get EG or Car decor within that short 3 hours
function. Joelle changed our package to as follows:
> A) to RM 3888 or B) to RM 4288
> 1 AD WG, 1 AD coat, PS 3 WG+3 EG for indoor. Flexiblity to change in
no. of WG/EG during PS & can get 1 add'l gown if need to (more
gowns=more poses top up). PS 1 WG for 1 outdoor PS.
> Half a page in Album in Venus is considered as ONE page. Initially
given 20pg (10 full pg) to 24pg; 30 pose to 35 pose
> Additional Pose RM75 each. Can cheaper if get more poses in the end.
Add'l 1 page is RM150/1 full page = RM300. However if need to top up
by page (min 2 pages/RM300), Venus can give add'l 3 pose that don need
to count. Guess this can nego for more pose ba.
> 1 8R album w 20 poses
> 150 4R loose pics up to 15 pose
> 1 Bed Frame
> We chg the two table tops to one longer style frame which can put
2/3 poses in it.
> 1 DVD 30 poses (can bring childhood pics for them to add in w 2
songs length.
> CD of 30 poses (8R), we requested for one size not locked pic so
that we can print on a laminated clear type ¡§sticker¡¨ (don¡¦t the
name for it) for our new hse kitchen glass door. (full length)
> Guest book which they will stick in 1 pic on the cover (Only one
style ¡V Golden color, still look ok)
> 1 music box/photo frame which also only style & music. Triangle
shaped so each side they will put in one pic (frames can be detached
ourselves if we wan to chg the pics ourselves)
> Add¡¦l costs: RM20 for Ampoules (needed for both hus n wife), RM20
for eye lashes, RM 30 for hair net or wat. Ampoules I already have
many at home which I buy at S$1 each tat time. U can buy it too from
this ebay website. I saw the seller b4. very frenly n nice Housewife
stayin in Bugis. Just I am not sure if they will say my ampoules are
not suitable for the makeup?? I will take my own ampoules (all diff
types I have during my PS). Will buy my own Eye lashes from Bugis (I
saw Bugis villages 2nd level selling eyes lashes @ S$2 a pair I think.
Will check them out again this weekend. Any advise on the type of
lashes to buy? Standard style one or got pattern one? Any one know wat
this Hair Netting thing? Is it those Ah Ma¡¦s style hair net? If so,
then can buy myself n bring there too to cut costs. Haha..

> I have requested to go for two outdoor scenes. One Sultan park and

add¡¦l price top up. End up got to pay back the original RM4088
instead of RM3888 for Classic Package. Kota required RM50 for entrance
fees (Bride, Groom, Photographer and his assistant)
Yvonne& Other Venus Brides, Please advise if my package is reasonable?
Me n my bf are lousy in negotiation n super lazy. I not sure if we
ganna ¡§eaten¡¨ by the BS le?? Also, which Photographer to use? I only
mentioned Ray since I saw Yvonne mentioning him. Joelle booked him for
me too for PS. How about MUA? She say got one male one female MUA.
Which one shd I get? Is he good?fun?can give ideas and encourage me (I
m stiff) to take pics? Scare tat day I can't ¡§open up totally¡¨ n be
real¡K.
- We booked 6 & 7 Nov for PS. Booked the Crystal Crown Hotel across
the street to stay over nite on 6 Nov. RM172.50 Net so don have to
travel so much and take it as a ¡§pre-wedding HM¡¨ in JB Sentosa.
Since we don¡¦t wan another day to be wasted just to come bk for gowns
selections, Joelle suggest that we come 10.30am on 6 Nov, take 1 ¡V 2
hrs for choosing my PS gowns, fast fast alter the gowns while I make
up for indoor PS. Is it too rush? Please advise.
Option 1) Gown selection then Indoor PS (we wondering if can go to the
Sultan Park for Outdoor PS first/sako them to come to our Hotel for
some Hotel room shots?
Option 2) Gown selection then outdoor PS to the two places (the other
Indoor PS gowns can slowly be altered? Next day come back for indoor
PS? Which shoud be more ideal?
- I am quite worry of the Designer¡¦s capability. Cos some of the
albums I seen don look very special/artistic/talented. Any one can
send me their final pics for me to see? If I really don like their 1st
designs, I don know how to tell them wat I want? Any samples online to
see too? Btw, 1st design layout they can email to us for review,
comment. Can reduce one trip down if possible. Just need to go down b4
their final print.
- Now the BS is confirmed le, other things on my mind now:
1) Buying our Wedding Bands. BTBs, any advise? How to know the choices
in term of retail shops, gold/platinum/custom made etc
differentiation? Pricing? I hope I can get the WBs by 6 Nov so that we
can have PS with them on. Very Rush??
2) Buying Wedding/PS shoes (PS needs one white/beige shoes + 1 silver
to pei the EG). Other then International Plaza got a shop specializing
in wedding shoes, where else can I explore?
3) Hair cut/trim + Highlight else black hair now so dull. My Eye
lashes is v messy de. Venus say I don need to my trimming outside but
they can do for me. Advisable to do it in Venus? My eyes is single
eyelid.. so v worry can't get pretty lashes
4) Man, Peidicure/ DIY with some crystals/blink blink stuff? Should I
spend on my nails just for PS which do arylic or wat during Actual ROM
date? I am not those ¡§ai mei¡¨ ger so I don know how these vanity
stuff, where to go now.. feel very lost ƒ¼
5) PS indoor theme. Do you gers have special poses/words that you
think yourself/design? I only tot of my first album page to have pic
of me n my bf playing the internet. We know ea other from Myspace.com
and I tot if can do a PS tat show our Myspace profile n we two
chatting w each other.. can the album flow? Oh ya. Do you talk to
Photographer/MUA/Designer before actual PS? If need to then I can't
just go down on 6 Nov to do everything le? Any more ideas to share?
What thing u bring down as indoor PS equipment? Toys? Etc?
6) Outdoor Causal wear for Kota Tinggi waterfall/resort style. Couple
T-shirt + Bermuda (shorts is out as I got carrot legs..haiz or can
they edit the pics till my carrots are gone? Else I can't choose more
sexy short Indoor gowns le??) Him in long sleeve shirt + jeans style?
Bikini + shorts style? Which type is better?
7) What else I need to prepare/plan/buy/do????
