i realised your post was in 2015. So you did a buffet?Erm I thinking of church wedding. Then I want to save on the banquet cost I don't mind just book a buffet sia, is it possible LOL
depends on when you want your wedding? you doing it before you house arrives? cos technically you only need a ROM cert to collect your keys, can do a simple ceremony at ROM first, then slowly plan for wedding reception(if any) in mid yr/ end of yr?
hello all, just to share my experience over the weekends when me and my htb went to look at AD package with 3 bridal studio.
I'm initially a Jan 17 bride (yea it's super rush and last min) but due to some circumstances, we've postponed to Nov 17.
I've search online on gowns and really like the one with Rico A Mona, The gown Warehouse & Beautiful Love Wedding. so I've made an appointment with them and head down last sat.
our first stop is Rico A Mona and we were attended by Tiffany. She's really nice and patient, giving us lots of idea and did not push us for their package and only proceed to give more details when we probed her. their AD package is quite reasonable and to top up for PWS. when I showed her the gown I like, she immediately went to look for it and other similar design, all for me to try when I told her I'm just looking around to compare the package.
we left and head to a bridal fair at suntec - which is actually seletar Broadway. the staff is super pushy and we couldn't stand and walked out after 15mins. their catalog are mannequin hence its hard to visualize how it actually look like when worn.
then we walked to raffles hotel for beautiful love wedding- attended by grace. everything is good and she gave good recommendation until we told her we are still considering and her face changed immediately. and we aren't allow to view the gowns before committing to her. their package is expensive but there's 20% so it's worthwhile and we're tempted to sign till the change of face.
I've seen online the package for the gown warehouse and it's really basic. hence to top up rest and it'll be about the same price as Rico A Mona so I've skipped them and decided to sign with Rico.
waiting for the dates to select my gown in Apr/May 17 as we're told there will be new collection.
Hello ladies! I just went down to Odelia Bridal and Rico-a-mona today.
Just want to share my opinion and feedback. we weren't really convinced by Rico on their photography and MUA. For Rico, IMO, they do have alot of gowns and their service is also quite good. but then their photos are more general and it's their gowns that are special.
For Odelia Bridal as we feel they are more flexible and they go for quality more. n my friends tell me that it's either i go for the photo quality or the wow-ness of the gowns. but i was determined to find a studio that can offer both! their package is really competitive and they include alot of perks that i can't seem to find anywhere or maybe i dont knw how to bargain enough. the boss of the studio is Rex from Luvaddict and previously 2 of us photography. and he's the main PG and the one who is going to take our PWS too. And as for their gowns, the lady boss designs them herself, and from what i understand she says there's new arrivals coming in every mth. I tried like 2 gowns today n i was sold~ their styles are more classic. and their photos are unique. HTB was really impressed with them and we signed with them.
i'm not paid to give this feedback in case you are skeptical. a genuinely overexcited BTB here! LOL.
You can pm me if you need more info on the package i have got! happy to share!! =))
I agree with you! when I went to Louvre booth during their roadshow at Marriot Tangs, I shared with them my budget ($2.5k-$3k for AD & Rom package only) and they dont seem interested to entertain me hahaha.. :\
But Beautiful Love Wedding bridal is way worse than them.. when I share with them my budget, the person say "yes I can accommodate by giving you lousy gown and if any thing happen is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS." So much for the good reviews online..!
Eventually, I have signed up with The Gown Warehouse whom has very good service. They let me try tons of gowns before committing and also share with me on the different types of gowns and which suits me best. BEST OF ALL THEY ARE NOT PUSHY--- if you want to go home and think by all means !
Another BTB has shared with me that Gown Villa has super nice and good gown too and staffs are not pushy u can try too !
Hello baby breath! Not sure if u mean rom outside at the cafe, if so then u can look for a jp first after getting ur jp then can register online. If your house is coming, concurrently also should look at ID alrI was planning to have the ROM same day as the wedding recep at some cafe/ buffet style. but apparently ROM can only book 3 months in advance? So I cannot book for June now?
I ended up buying my gown at a clearance sale! I may or may not sell it depending on how I feel after the wedding. Haha for my htb, we are going to make his suits as they can be reused for other functions so quite worth it.
It all depends on your budget. I know of friends who travel to Bangkok to do the same, it's almost half the price (or even less) than what you'll pay for in Singapore. A friend of mine even bought from h&m and Zara - they offer good value and have a range of cuts to fit most.
i also signed with odelia however i'm not pleased at all with them. I signed with them with the boss rex, at a roadshow and he promised we can take even new gowns overseas for photoshoot (they mention just help to take good care of the gowns) !
We of cox sign with them without further thinking as i like two of their gowns. Never did i expect to get rejection from the staffs when i went over to their shop to see. They say lady boss say it's quite new, hence cannot bring over !
We are rushing during the roadshow and they seems quite sincere in signing us hence we did not think so much and just sign !
And everytime we go for a fitting, they collect payment when we yet to use 1/4 of the service $3000 !!! meaning every visit they find all reasons to collect money from you !
So disappointing
Hi Tingzcrown,
So sorry to hear about your incident. Thanks for highlighting, will no longer consider them.
Any other good Bridal shops to recommend?
Hello! I signed a package with ZWedding for their gowns and AD PG and VG at BOWS early Oct!
I signed a package with ZWedding last year. Anyone else here with ZWedding or looking to sign with them? You girls heard any reviews about them?
Hi Tingzcrown,I used Yvonne Creative too ! they are good if you would love to consider them
any brides here signed up with swissotel equinox?
By the way, I just did my pre-wedding shoot in Seoul yesterday. I had so much fun even though it took the whole day (7am-8pm) and enjoyed myself so much that I was so sad when it ended. If anyone is thinking of doing pre-wedding in Korea, I strongly recommend Kohit wedding to help you coordinate. I contacted many others like (i-do wedding, onethreeonefour) but Kohit was the cheapest and only one that was able to help us fulfil our dreams of taking the shoot in the snow, their service (coordinator plus actual studio) is so superb that i feel strongly about recommending them to everyone.
I'm lucky, Seoul weather for these few days not as cold as last week or past weeks, so I was able to take pictures in the gown even for outdoors. Have lots of fun trying on gowns and posing during your shoot!
hi @Perlin88 able to PM me the price you got from Melissa? thanks in adv!!
