Hi, new here. My wedding is in Nov 2011, but I've ROMed already.
I'm not sure if it's due to personal preference but I really like YC. My experience with them is really good.
My coordinator is Fiona, very nice. We went down to try the 1st time thought we chose what we wanted already but later after going home my wife though maybe she want to change so she called Fiona up and she was nice to arrange a 2nd time for us to go down.
They really have lots and lots of gowns and even those gowns that they let for outdoor are of very high quality and beautiful. Somemore, cos they have inhouse seamstress and all (if you go their shop you'll really see the seamstress at the back unlike some shops is get their gowns off City Plaza or from China). My wife was really spoil for choices
Somemore, my wife could not decide between a grey evening gown and a red evening gown. She let my wife take both for our photo shoot. For me, I was only supposed to get 2 suits, but to match with my wife's extra 1 suit, she also gave me an extra suit for photo shoot. Now for our actual day, I actually get to choose 2 from these 3 and my wife gets to choose which of the evening gown she wants!
Then the best is our makeup artist, Fenix (not sure if like that spell) she is superb (and damn funny). I've actually never seen my wife so beautiful but Fenix really did a good job with her (and me!)
My photographer was Simon. We chose him after we saw his portfolio which, I tell you, are really beyond anything we've seen from other boutiques. Unfortunately yesterday when we went down for photo selection, I heard he left the company le due to health problem (he just recovered from Dengue the day before our photoshoot which was in middle of June)
And then there's the lady boss. I don't know, sometimes she like um qio um qio like that, I think maybe will give people wrong impression, but I thought she's nice. Yesterday when we chose our photos, we only got 29 (which was what was given in our package) with no additional. During the selection, the lady boss did come over and encourage us to take more cause the album will really look nicer, but since we were on a tight budget, we hardened our heart and decided to stick with 29. As you know, bridal boutiques business is very competitive. The main package they actually earn very very little. It is the additional photos that you take that they earn most from. So I've heard some boutiques (like a few of my friends who had bad experience with boutiques elsewhere, 1 at Marina Square, 2 of them is along same lane 1, No names to be mentioned) when you select too little they will show you face, say sacarstic things or bang table 1, so I was quite worried when the boss came to take note of what we had selected. Turned out she was very nice and told us don't worry she understand, she'll get her designer to try their best to do whatever they can with the photos!!!
All in all, I personally vouch for them. I think whatever you read here in this forum you need to read it with a pinch of salt. Especially since this is a competitive business and this forum is open to public, so for all you know, the competitors can just log on and create an account to say all sorts of nasty things about them. Somemore they are 1 of the big names, and chinese got this saying, "Big Tree attract wind"...
Afterall, Yvonne Creative has been around for more than 16 years (I think) and everytime I go down to their shop is busting with business. Just walk down that lane and you'll know.
In any case, I think just be nice to the people there I think they should be able to offer you more than you can ask for ;p
