Ways to overcome bridal studio sales talk

I just happened to come across one of the forum members blog and particularly like this article:
http://mrandmrsoops.blogspot.sg/2015/02/how-do-bridal-studios-sales-talk-us.html

which i feel that is very good knowledge to have.
So i am going to be very frank in adding on my personal opinion. My message to the bridal studios is that, not everyone is rich enough to buy expensive bridal packages. in realistic sense, if i could, i would already probably done a smaller scale wedding with a simple white dress from ZARA or Taobao. All those expensive packages for photo add-ons is just gimmicky promotional tactics.

For now, i am hoping to convince my family and parents to accept a lower budget small scale wedding.

For couples who can afford, good for you.

However, for the other budget-conscious brides who are planning your wedding, i would say, be very cautious when looking out for wedding services. In the minds of the bridal studios, you are just seen as a "walking dollar sign" and potential customer for them to ka-ching your money. While planning for mine, i have also encountered some bad experiences with not so good vendors.

End of the day, just remember that wedding is just one day only. What's more important is the relationship with your husband and do not let the marriage start on a negative mood with large debts and all. Now is the time where there is no harm to be penny pinching. As for bridal studios, its all about their fantastic marketing/advertising/ economics knowledge that helps them to sell packages faster.

Hey! that's my blog! was scouting around for wedding ideas and chance upon your post. I'm glad the post has been helpful for you. I face similar struggles as you do and I strongly agree that it is not about how grand your wedding is... but how lasting your marriage is. =) Jiayou!!
 
htb n I usually just say no no no until they cannot push anymore hahaha but I agree with what you said! just be very firm in ur decision n know what u want I guess tts our defense lar jia you!!
 
Thank you for your sharing, girls. Yes, i agree. Marriage day is just like Valentine's Day, too commercialised by the business people who are out there to have a bite from the pie. I would rather provide free consultation for brides-to-be "how not to waste money on weddings" and instead attend the marriage preparation course. haha. preferably it is good to have the discussion abt the couple's spending habits before planning a marriage =)
