Hi There! I am a Jan BTB. And have already secured my booking for banquet venue. I can share for novotel, carlton, orchard, fairmont if anyone like to have. I am now on the lookout for bridals packages, and its been traumatising !!!
Hi, I'm a March bride-to-bride. I signed with Blue bay too, for my pre-wedding shoot and actual day. When are you going for your shoot?
I have a gf who rented her gowns from BQueen (at a very affordable rate, ~2K?) but it excludes makeup and hair.

Don't feel traumatised! That's how I feel initially but my friends kept advising me to calm down and enjoy the process. Maybe you would want to first confirm if u would like to have everything with a bridal studio or ala carte. U can then shortlist some of the vendors.
For me photos and videos are the most important piece, hence i went ala carte and rented my PW and AD gowns elsewhere.

Thanks for the kind words!
Alot of bridal salons are very pushy.. they will make u decide on that spot..
and even if they say they walk away, they are always looking at you or observing you....
what a turn off to be honest..
I shortlist a few of the bridal vendors and most likely to go with one that i feel the gowns are better in terms of quality..
I see!! I am looking for AD photography and video too..
Don't worry, yes, indeed some of them are very pushy. I was ever trapped in a bridal studio for almost the whole afternoon (of course i tried on some gowns, and there's alot of talking on their package) but in the end i just gave some reasons and walk away. It's hard to find an excuse to leave but i dont want to regret signing the package with a bridal studio that i'm not comfortable with. You won't be heading back again, so i don't care if they look or observe me HAHA!
I would suggest you to look for your AD PG and VG first - then see if they have any bridal studio that they work with, you might get some discount due to their partnership ties
Hi Huiting, we went to have a look there as well and it was the 'cheapest' package and the person was very nice. However, the sister photography company has got plenty of bad reviews. Saying that, the reviews are quite old so things might have improved since. Good luck!

It is a wonderful experience to be loved and love someone and both will register at ROM (all are happy)
If possible don't do any banquet.
Because a bridal package is nothing but just a middleman job.
You have to pay many miscellaneous premium which totally no authorities control over this industry.
There are many add on or "mid night charge concept".
And per photo cost you few ten of dollars(80)....Your groom will turn from happy to sad face ........ And those mua they are sharkssss.......Beware of their Chu pattern.
One sentence I hate to hear is "once in a life time" going kill your pocket when u go home think about it.
Golden advise don't go banquet.
Just go to a posh restaurant and get all the benefit at clear coat without hidden.
Everyone will tell you "can this can that" but once you sign the bridal contract...Hahaha. the "interpretion of words" at your cost. Zero sum game.
Good luck !

U got signed any packages for pre wedding?

They do have pre wedding package as well. I'm still considering getting that from them cause my fiance and I are still weighing our options on the wedding expenditure.U got signed any packages for pre wedding?
We are planning the wedding with a budget and we don't plan to spend too much either.
Go check out the boutique. Christina (owner and sales person) will tend to you personally. Very nice and patient lady and she will go through your needs. My fiance is very happy and satisfied with their service, selection and price too.
They have recently updated their website but nothing beats looking at the gowns and experience the gown shopping personally. Their place is 'a little' far off the city but it was worth our time and trip there!

I basically went in and sat through the whole gown shopping process at 80% of the boutiques along Tanjong Pagar, until my friend recommended Fleur to me (she recently signed up with them too).
Fleur was the first and only boutique my fiance went to (I brought him there on my 2nd visit) and he was impressed with them.

I've signed with The Gown Warehouse. For both PW and AD gown/suit rental
PW
2 Gowns
2 Suits
2 Makeup
AD
1 Gown
1 Kua/short dress/tea dress
1 Evening Gown
2 Suits
2 Makeup
You need to get your own photographer or use one of their partners. Overall, service was excellent and price is pretty much the same as any other all-inclusive bridal packages.

Hey all!
thank you for sharing and for all the inputs thus far in this thread. I was feeling very lost but this thread actually helped me be clearer on how the wedding should be going.
Can I just ask a quick question to those who have signed the bridal package -
Is it more 'worth it' to engage a bridal that will also do the pre-wed and AD photoshoot for you?
Or can I just engage bridal for the gowns/suits/make up and hire my own photog?
What's the cost I will be looking at if I just want to engage bridal for gowns/suits/make up (without using their photog services)?
Any input regarding the pros and cons of the two options above will be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello tinkerella!
I din sign any bridal packages (going ala carte), but my sis did (gowns/makeup/suit/PW/AD) so i can share my thoughts on this.
Pros: Fuss free and usually cheaper. All details taken care of and you don't have to worry about anything.
Cons: Usually you get assigned the photog (if you take theirs up), and they may not be able to provide the look or style that you really want.
The photographer for my sis' PW is ok, but the one for AD rushed us through the whole gatecrash. He just asked us to pose for his photos, so we didn't had the chance to properly go through all the gatecrash plans that we had, which kind of lost the meaning of the whole process.
But then again, hiring photographers separately can be quite expensive, the better ones usually charge $2500 and above for 10 hours.

Hello everyone..
I am getting married in March 2018. Most likely will take straits room at the Fullerton hotel as our venue since our wedding is an intimate wedding of 12 tables
Anyone has an idea how's the food at the Fullerton and is the hotel decoration sufficient or do we need to engage outside for the decoration?
Excited

My sister used them for PW shoot but she said she signed with them but regret and prefered somewhere else as nicer gowns?Does anyone knows anything about My Dream Wedding? Is it good?
I went there for a quote and they are ok.. just need to bargain and shop around and they will match like for like what other studios offer you. As long as you appear hessitant they will quite often 'upgrade' your package for same price.

Congrats! My bestie did her wedding at Fullerton (though that was 2 years ago) - food was great and I remember the banquet manager was very experienced (I was emcee so alot of liasing with him). For hotel deco, you can ask the coordinator for the themes they have and you can decide from there if it's sufficient. Usually the florist they work with can provide more if you top up
Wow your bridal is settled!
I'm June 2018 BTB and I haven't done anything except... settling of banquet venue lol. I have 20 tables as well and we booked Parkroyal Pickering. Maybe you can consider. Almost 6m ceiling.walkwithme
