Hello... *wave wave* wah, many and many more gals coming in. That's good!
TwinFairys> I like GHA becos they don't hard sell. They are really confident in their work, thus maybe that's why they don't hard sell. Yishun branch has the widest range of gowns, followed by Tampines. If you are choosing Yishun, besides Xiang, my coordinator is Aileen (you tell her Agnes intro). But Marina branch is the newest, & this guy called Cole designs many new and daring designs (if that's ur taste, you can try him). But be careful that you may not get a lot of freebies thrown in cos he is very proud of his works and don't believe in alot of freebies thrown in, making as though his work is cheap). For their PG, highly recommend Steven (based in Yishun). He makes you very comfy and took the pics the way we wanted it =D Kudos to him.
So up to you de. I'm not pantang just like Mashi, OTRs are equally good, and even better, cos what you see is what you get. Normally most BSs' gowns don't include alot of embroid and lace cos it takes alot of effort, and if done not right, it may look old or very Peranakan. That's why some BSs (who are well known for embroid or lace), they often command higher prices for their gowns/ packages.
As for pics, aim for hot press (a good thing about GHA is that all different kinds of albums are the same price in the package, not like some BSs will charge higher for hot press). Try to get hot press so quality last longer, ppl when they flip your album during reception, will not have ragged page corners in the end. Otherwise you will xin tong de. Like wise, frequent flipping will cause the midline to crack and you'll become sian de.
Wah, very happy to see some who chose the same BS or jewellery shop as me =D
