How much does your package with Thomson Wedding cost? I'm considering signing up with them too.

Hi both, I have went down to them few weeks ago for my first appointment but I didn't sign with them in the end, I think they are overrated.

Feel free to PM me if you would like to hear my experience :)

Dear BTBs, i just came back from my prewedding shoot in Malacca. Contrary to what my friends told me that it would be very tiring, it was an amazing and memorable experience for us! The fun moments we had with our vendors are still running in my head. How I wish that day did not end so fast. I would like to give credit to our photographer Tay, and makeup team Eric and Agnes.

Our photographer Tay took extra time to meet us a day earlier to recce places to shoot. It was a two-way discussion, asking us for opinions and preferences.

Throughout the actual day of shooting, Tay was very patient and professional. He continued to build rapport with us to capture the most natural expressions. He was also very encouraging by saying 'good shot, very good etc'. This positivity helps my HTB and I alot as we become more confident and relaxed. We realized that its not only about the skills a photographer has or his portfolio, it's also about how he took the extra mile to achieve the perfect shots and building the chemistry with us. He also didn't fail to remember little things we mentioned before and took them to heart during the shoot. The next day after our photoshoot, he even brought us around some places in Melaka for good food, despite him not having to do so. We have indeed found a friend in him, and not just a passionate photographer who takes pride in his work.

My makeup team Eric and Agnes have vast experience as they do makeup not only for brides but also celebrities, editorials etc. Words cant describe how much i love my makeup and hair. My MUA Eric did a great job. I only had to show him examples of the makeup I like and he was able to create the look that suits my personality while incorporating what i like. My makeup lasted for more than 12 hours despite the hot humid weather.

I have pixie hair and this may be challenging for some MUA/hairstylists as most brides keep long hair. However my hairstylist Agnes has no problem with it. I only had to tell her i like it short & chic but yet keep abit of feminine. Agnes nailed it exactly right! She also managed to secure the veil onto my very short hair and my hairstyle stayed intact the whole day. The moment i saw my completed look, i went 'Wow, i love it! Thank u!'. Eric and Agnes also followed us during the shoot, making sure I look the best for every shots. They are very fun-loving, cracking jokes along the way. They were very engaged and also took casual shots with their phones to share with us.

My HTB and I are very blessed to meet this fantastic team, who made our experience stress-free and memorable. It is more like a friendship created than just vendor-client relationship.

We wanted to do it on 9 Sep which falls on Hungry Ghost but me and my HTB is not particular about it. Our concerns were more for relatives that will question our parents about it or like grandparents who might be more superstitious. We brought it forward to May instead.
Omg I wanted 9 sep too but cause of ghost festival so I also push to May! Hahaha apart from relative questionings, for those with dinner is also not really safe for your guests to go home very late especially during this period ar.. ;)

Have you went down to visit them yet?? I got a $1000 off to be $3999 as I signed it at the road show. Just wondering why are they in your to choose list? Cause I heard about them but they were not in my to go list. Happen to saw them at a roadshow and they were really sincere in going through all the cost with no hidden cost. I was so worried about hidden cost. But they reassure me that this is the nett price. And they gave me what I wanted. So I signed. But kinda worry cause I didnt go to any other shops yet.

Hihi, we also signed with Thomson. Omg we have the same scenario.. haha, we also didnt survey around and sign with Thomson as they offer what we want and hus and i like their shoots. I hope the photoshoot will go smoothly. We signed during wedding show at Hotel Jen and got the same price as Belleling. Maybe you can PM if you want to find out the details:)
After sign, hus ask me not to look at other studio, he say the more we see, the more we compare. Which is true! so let's look forward for good quality:)

Haha, same as belleling and candy.derrick, we signed with TWC. I took my time to shop around before this, went to my girlfriends' bridals (quite a few) and ultimately settled with TWC. Mainly because they're sincere, and they have new gowns regularly. Hopefully it's good experience!

Also, I realised that there isn't alot of reviews on TWC (good or bad). Hope no news is good news! :D

18 Mar'17 bride btw. :D

hello all! new here. i'm a oct 2017 bride! still sourcing for my venues.. gonna do gate crash (simple one.. more like FTB)+solemnization+tea ceremony+lunch at the hotel. wonder anyone have any hotel recommendations that is friendly to do all the above? should both families stay at the hotel a night before? does the groom parents need to be present for the FTB? or just be at the solemnization? I'm assuming the bride parents must be present at the FTB as the parents will need to help the bride put on the veil etc.. both of us decide to hold everything at the hotel as we want to save the hassle of travelling to and fro.. seek some advice from all :)

Yeah! I hope! I am extremely concerned with the gowns because my fiance cousin did not find any gown that she like. Sighed! What do you all think about??

Hello, your actual day plan is the same as mine, but I'm afraid I can't do ROM on the day itself as FTB is at 8 and if I do ROM before the lunch, it will be very packed. When is your actual day and what time is your FTB?

I think most hotels are okay with solemnisation + tea ceremony + lunch. You would've booked the venue for solemnisation and lunch with the hotel so they'll just have to provide a small space for the tea ceremony (usually they will also provide the tea cups + helper to clean the cups).

With regards to staying the night before...don't think it's necessary unless you've got to wake up super early due to auspicious hour etc.

Not sure what is FTB but I'm assuming it's about unveiling the bride for the first time?

oh how come it will be rushed? what are your concerns as some hotels told me this could be done... I dont have a fix timing for FTB yet, hence still see how best this schedule can work out.. "FTB" will be at the hotel, then follow by ROM and lunch.

My plan was to stay over the night before with my sisters, so we could prep up the bridal room a little.. yeah "FTB" is like picking up the bride from the room, unveiling etc... and my immediate family to receive the groom etc..

Anyone considering or sign up with kwedding? I'm going to the BOWS roadshow this weekend. Today I tried calling their lines to try and find out more information before the event but the line cannot go through, even after office hours. They are one of my choice in my list, I was just wondering if they are still operating.

Hi Stephanie,

Same here! regretted max for signed up Louvre.. Too much hidden cost and 360deg changed after signed the dotted line

By the way, who is your coordinator?

Hi lovmoment & Stephanie,

Can PM me who is your coordinator?

Lovmoment, can share about the hidden cost thing with me? I shortlisted them as one of my choice.
Thanks!

I am considering and going to BOWS too! they are shifting office at the moment to a new place and preparing for BOWS. Thus they told me any enquiries can visit them at BOWS. ImageUploadedByForum1463094773.439596.jpg

Hi Ladies! I'm also a 2017 BTB but have yet to decide on the day. I'm in a dilemma now in choosing venues due to our budget. Both my partner and I don't wish to spend a bomb on the wedding and wish to keep within budget of $15,000 for a wedding luncheon.

Any suggestion?

May head to Venus Bridal in JB for a simple pre-wedding photoshoot. Any one know how much is their current package? :)

suggest go bows for perks for luncheon. pre wed pics and ad should be in 1 package if you really really constrained on budget. In the end, it is all about what you are willing to have within your budget. for me, i try to limit myself to a reasonable budget together with HTB. relax and enjoy the research process :)
