hi peepz!
been a busy week for me.. have been sourcing various bridal boutiques and photography studios. my verdict? it can be quite confusing and very tiring. lol
frankly speaking, after visiting numerous boutiques and studios.. the packages really are no much different from one another. to me, it all boils down to one's personal taste (the gowns/photography).
i have yet to update u girls of my 1st visit to GI, right? well, i served by a friendly and polite lady. i think her name is Jacqueline. She asked me to fill up a questionnaire of my wedding package requirements while she got me a cup of hot tea. the boutique is packed that Saturday but i still managed to squeeze my way through to see their gown collections. haha =P
there was a wedding gown that really caught my eye that day. it was worn on one of the mannequins on the podium. it was a classic a-line design in off-white (i think haha) with intricate flora lace embroideries and minimum crystal beads forming a flowing pattern for the top. the skirt is pleated in an adjacent direction with a simple flower fabric design at the other side. the back of the gown was even more beautifully tailored. some lace embroideries and crystals was used on the hips again. streams of light blue ruffles flowing down the gown's train, making it even more elegant. if only i could take a pic of that gown for you girls, i wouldn't have to type so much *pout lips* haha
but honestly, with the crystals shimmering under the spotlights, and the soft music playing in the background... it just look... heavenly to me!
ok, enough of the gowns.
after a quick glance of my questionnaire, Jacqueline recommended me one of their wedding packages which is around $3k plus. it has items like wedding/evening gowns, suits for my fiance, wedding photography, wedding car decorations, flower bouquets, makeups and hairstyling, etc etc etc. gosh... after visiting so many places, i don't really remember the exact details of each packages. we had a good chat of my wedding preparations and even recommended some banquet venues which i might be interested in.
overall, i grade their services high marks. even though i did not sign up that day despite me requesting for tons of information, i did not feel the slightest bit of impatience or 'black faces' from them.
*thumbs up*
p.s. i'll visit GI's boutique again once i've sorted out all the info i've gathered this past week with my fiance
