Shep & LW> Yah. Actually we already compromised quite abit, like when they told us the design fee cant be refund, we just accept it though we wanted very much to have a simple 1page 1pic album. I hope they can compromise too.

Charmaine> Thanks for all the headups. I didnt told them specifically to stop the processing. Towards the end of the call, the boss kept challenging me to bring those layouts that can be nice yet with only 2-3 pics per layout. He kept insisting that my album is in landscape form while those that I saw might be in portrait type. I remember yours being landscape. Actually I only wanted them to add simple borders like the link that you just share today (the black one with only 2 pic and dotted line at the side or the layout before that, also just 2 pic with some flowery design at the side). May I show these 2 layout to the boss to prove to him that these are simple, nice and yet I don't see these in my layouts. I wanted to show them this wkend when I go down for my gown selection and the staff told me cannot, only can Monday. So book monday appt but I am thinking whether to go anot. Sigh.. don't know why need to prove myself on such thing. I suppose they should know to stop processing since I am going down on Monday.

Doll> I also like your pics. Very nice.

Ling> I don't mind sharing the layout, but mine is quite ugly. Sigh... I think yours will be much nicer. By the way, who is doing the layout for you?

Shir > Call them now ask them to stop the processing. Else more thing done, they got more things to say again! Yes mine is landscape. I do not mind if you show them mine over that. Please go ahead, just don't say i'm from which bridal if possible. Haha...And my package is not bloody expensive type too. Total i spend only 3k+.
Proof him wrong. If his designer can't do it, then ask them refund the design fee! What kind of designer do that have? Do not assume they know. Give them specific instruction ask them STOP. Before they bite us say we never say!

Shir: Everyone of us has our unique layouts... be it simple or not... Dun worry about it!!

LW> Think you are much better than me, so outspoken. Im quite soft in person. Sigh...

Ling> He was the one who do the editing for my pic and there's one background which we wanted to change from pink to grey when we were there for editting. He told us that its do-able but quite troublesome, and he was changing the background for us on the spot that time. And when we leave, he still doing the background to be grey. But when we view the layout on sat, the background of that pic is still pink. We compromised on our own and didnt insist to be grey. Sigh... maybe we should have be difficult customer from the start, to insist that this pic should be grey as he promised earlier. Or maybe we should be difficult customer from the start, to insist to have the $ refund and have the 1pic 1 page album, then don't have to go through these rubbish.

hur hur hur
thanks everyone for liking and your nice comments! hahaa

well one thing i feel about layout (now everyone have different likings, so it might just be me) is that the simpler it is, the nicer.

After all, Less is really More.

So it will be nice to do away with those flowers, feathery texts and twirly-wiry stars away from your layout. Yeah they might be nice to look at now, but this kidda design cant withstand the test of time.

10years or 15years later, it might look outdated? No no no offend to anyone really..

I feel simple squares and such can seldom go wrong cause they are so classic.

Just my 1 cent worth. =)

Shir : if you feel uncomfortable about your ablum just tell them ba... cos in the end you are the receiving end. if you dun like, you also will not take out see and will even fear showing it to others to see...

if not then do another photoshoot maybe during your anniversary ba.. do alacarte?

Shir: My HB always says I am very fierce and meant no nonsense when I deals with BS... Haha.. In a way I am...

For your background thingy: Perhaps can reply: Turn to your HB, Hubby, didn't we agree that we wanted grey? Turned to the designer, I might be old, memory failing le, did I tell u pink or grey the previous round arh? Can we confirm this with you? See wat the designer replied... If he dares to reply cannot do very troublesome, reply back, oh... u are designer mahz... of coz need your help in troublesome jobs, simple one, I can do myself le... right... that's why u are called designer.

Shir > Today is Wed Only. No slot on fri, sat & sun? My feel is that they might not want you to go over weekend cause usually bridal are packed. And they might not want to conflict with you where there are many couple around. Usually they are more quiet on mon, cause the last time i went digio on mon, it was really quiet.

LW : 1 tricky portion is that Shir already confirm with them le... they will keep on bugging her that she confirmed.. Any tips on that? hehehe.. just trying to pre-empt what they will say..
Shir : why not go down like today or tomorrow.. dun wait le... then at least you can get things done soon and you won't have a few sleepless nights right?
 

junel

New Member
Dun need to make appt one la... cos they will keep delay your appt then tell you they no time..
for me if i want to go down today, i just call my bs that i be going down today and tell them i will wait if they have customers on hand...
 

junel

my designer cannot make it. so i do it myself.. just cut and paste in microsoft word lo... then show them, then let them do the necessary editing..

Shir > If i was you, i will keep bugging for the $500 refund if they refuse to change foc. And i will go on their peak make a lot noise, haha... and show them black black face. I think yr case should put on yvonne thread. Haha. I know bridal do monitor their own thread! So let all the YC brides comments, peer pressure!

Shir,
I know how it feels when things are not going so smoothly, perhaps, like what the other ladies said, don't delay settle it once and for all, if not it will keep bugging you and you'll be having sleepless nights.
Maybe, just call them to ask them to hold first, then tell hubby what happen, make an appt tml. Go there and talk to them nicely. If you can't do the talking, let hubby do it. And you can add on bits. Hmm... the most important thing is, insist that you are the paying party, you have your rights.
Even if you are the obviously the person in the wrong, still insist that they shld correct the mistakes and do it your way. =)

For my bridesmaid, they get the gratecrashing money and another red packet from us. My mum and MIL will be give a little token too. Maybe $12 or $8... I guess there is no market rate. Depends on whether the couple can afford and also how close you are with your JM and XDs? Don't think they are helping you for the red packet.

ahblur > Hubby also need manicure?

Nmm > Total i spend 3k plus cause i didn't topup a lot of photo. But i was very please with the gowns and photos. =) How much you spend?

Doll > When i say perform magic i do not mean designer are perfect. But they suppse to come up with design and they're suppose to change until customer are please with it. You seems offended. I'm not referring to you. Just feel Shir's designer should give her better quality. All box box and charge her $500. I can do the box box design too. No offence. =)
