Hi Sarah,i also have 5 gowns including traditional costume and my hubby has only 2 suits, but they say will lend him one more suit for outdoor photoshoot only.

I juz signed my package during the wedding show in January 2011, is it bcos u signed earlier so its cheaper?

I actually wanted to negiotiate the price and the only thing i can neg is without their car then i can get the $3388. If tat is the case, may I noe when u signed the package then i muz check with them!

I have not done my PS, so nt sure if it will be with design? when discuss at the wedding show this will only be discussed aft we have taken our photo.

Anyone can share any views cos they said we have to pay the other half of the package b4 photoshoot.. any thing I mux take note 1st b4 i pay.

I just had my wedding w this studio.. But I vvv dislike their service... Cos they ask u to go for fitting but in the end the gown or the suit will nvr be ur size cos they will still lend others.. during my PS they still last min cos they lend out the suit the previous day. N my hubby have to wear the oversize suit cos we have no time.
And during my AD, they promise to give all suit 3days before but in the end they call us up that my hubby suit unable to collect cos they need it for photoshoot.. And they insist they are nt in the wrong...as they mention that they still give me before my wedding..

I just fill that their service is vv bad.. U may consider again..

Hi Jaslyn, my hubby has 3 suits coz YC threw in another suit for photoshoot, AD will only have 2 suits.

I signed last year Feb2010 at BOWS. i think u better check with them on the designing coz i have check with my friends and they are getting free design with their package. for my case i have to top up $300 for my 28 photos, unless i buy additional photos to 45 then free designing will be given. but i find it very unfair as $3388 is already a very steep price for such package.

I have not done my PS also. so im gonna thrash things out with them and negiotate for more.

Visited YC last week, dun really like the sales person there. She keep saying about other bridal shop..feel that she is not professional at all. In the end decided not to sign with them. As there are other more sincere and professional ppl out there.

I always thought YC is a very famous bridal shop as they are the only bridal shop in SG hold show. However after accompany my friend for fitting, I DO NOT recommend any of my friends to sign up with them.
My friend which she just went fitting on Monday with another GF told me she only had try 10 gowns only. 5 wedding and 5 evening gowns! I was shock when she showed me the pictures. I asked why she only try 10 for the duration of 3 hr??? And it look all the same to me, also YC give all the dark color aunty gown to let my friend try on it. My friend told me they told her they don't have light pastel color gown at all!
I don't believe thus I take a day off and accompany her to YC again. Understand that you need to have an appointment to do fitting. But before hand I already called and check that they only have 1 client on Tuesday to collect gown!

When we reached, they look at us surprisingly and ask why my friend back again. I told the SA, my friend wish to try on more gowns but she say she not free can't entertain us. Ask us to go back and they will call us again. But we insist to stay and do the fitting. Well the SA then ask ME to get a chair to climb up to get whatever gown my friend wish to try MYSELF!

Well, after afew climbs, Yvonne which is the boss / designer of the shop saw me climbing. She only barely ask the SA. Why is my friend here again???? Of cause if you saw us, meaning we are unhappy with the gown right. But instead Yvonne come and smile to me and say what wrong with my friend and why is she so freckled minded?

I thought I can end my climbing after Yvonne here. However it didn't, she only smile and say. We're really busy today, you may help yourself.

Verdict: They really have lousy services and they really have attitudes. I pity my poor friend that paid $ and suffer their attitude and lousy service in silent!

The sad story doesn't end this way only;
I get to know before they sign up the package the SA [t.....y] stated they got alot of gowns, they can give her as much as she wanted. But real things is not happen after she pay the $1688 deposited! My friend request a wedding gown, a night gown, a tea dress and a kwa.

She always thought she wanted to marry in a short kind version of wedding gown which the SA told her "oh that was a consider a tea dress" but during fitting, we realize their "white tea dress" are those for people rom. Thus my friend ask the SA to change for her to a night gown.

Then the SA say, if you wanted an extra night gown. Can but must top up extra $, then my friend decide to talk to Yvonne. Surprisingly, Yvonne also say can't and must top up cash.
I wonder what wrong with them, their SA[t.....y] stated they have alot gowns. But now the contract is signed yet they don't deliver the words they promise?

2ndly: my friend entitlement was 1 MTM but my friend choose both her wedding and night gown off the rack! So it already saving them alot of trouble and why is it so hard to give her a extra night gown. Then they settle her by giving a normal kind of long maxi dress which made her look like 4 months pregnant.

Really pity my poor friend being bully by YC and now she is so disappointed or rather depressed and don't wish to go back again.

Lastly, YC ppl very fierce and rude too.

Btw Ch(sept_09_09):
Are you from YC?

1) How you know my friend wedding is not over yet?
2) Why are you asumming my friend had fix her gowns???
3) If this is a good bridal shop,I'll give good compliment instead of stating the fact.

This is a wedding forum, we got freedom to share what experience we been tru. Also I don't know which bridal shop will ask the cilent's friend to get a chair and climb yoursel to get it!

Actually my experience was also very bad...
but anyway my wedding is over.. YC actually told me and actually insist to only get my gown on a day before cos they need to let their client use for photo shooting. and since my coordinator is not around anymore they actually insist to let their client use our gown...

I was vvv angry with them on all the things that happen with YC.

And also to those that is going to use their photographer for actually day. I can tell you to forget about it also. That photographer of mine always purposely go n block all my videographer view. Whenever my video go. He will definitely move and stay infront of him . And when you tell him, he will definitely say I know how to take. you dun bother...

Anyway is over.. but i think Wendy you try to console your frenz rather than telling her how bad YC is. Cos since she already paid and have no choice but to use. So let her be a happy bride rather than stress and feel unhappy..

I just feel angry for what my friend gg thru furthermore she is those ppl don't voice out, don't want much trouble but I told her.

Being a bride is once in a life time thing which all brides wish to have unpleasant memory. What we all want is a unforgetable moments, so try to make it right.

Aya I also give up on her as this is her wedding not mine! Is a pain for me to see her so tire and stress up too. Thus will try my best to cheer her up.

We are consumer once we try out their service if no good we will comment so that future bride won't have this problem and judge on themselve
my SOPHIA wedding collection don't have this problem at all.

Your frenz have the same char as me.. then i think u will really need to console your frenz not to be too nasty with them else you never knw that t...y will mess up your things.

and your frenz will feel terrible.... but i can tell you the problem is because of the coordinator.. you can try to ask ur frenz to change to Jeanne, but not sure if she is back..

or otherwise change to FYNX the in house MUA. they are better. i personally feel...
at least their sense of fashion is better than the rest..
 

wendy2806

Thank for your kind advise
I will forward your message to her hoping that will help her.
Otherwise seeing her unhappy I also don't know what can I do for her.

Hi Wendy and Noriko,
i'm always reading this forum but dont want to comment on anything yet. as my wed also not over yet. it's going to be this sept. i got the photographer for AD from YC as well. after reading Noriko' comment, i feel scared ya, as i also engage VG and i dont want the PG block the view.

personally i haven't had any contact with Fynx, but she seems to be the popular MUA. i got Shu Li for MUA.
My coordinator was Jeanne then change to Cindy as she delivered that time.

Wendy, i agree that Jeanne is better. she help me to choose my AD Wedding Gown. she will ask what do you prefer and what is your theme, then she will try to find the gown that match and even give suggestion. Jeanne is not back yet, but heard will be really soon. try to ask for jeanne if possible :D

is your fren AD still next year? maybe can wait for Jeanne?

before i came down to choose my gown at that time, jeanne asked me to do my "homework". search for the gown that i like, then show to her and she will try to find something similiar. maybe you can try that too?


for my self, so far so good. I hope everything will go smoothly until everything over.
 

noriko

New Member
haha DNCL dun so worry, u only make urself stress... Cindy i think she nt so experience so u have to tell her what u want and go n search for your own guy.

But if u manage to wait till jeanne back, she is good.

actually for PG is base on ur luck, mayb mine cos he is old so he like things to do in his way and dun listen to others. then too bad..

But i can tell you that FYNX is good. but of cos u gt to tell her what you wan. If you let her design for you then u have to bear with it. Otherwise try to search for your own style that you prefer and let her know.
 

dncl

New Member
Noriko, i agree.. jeanne can give you more suggestion. but not sure jeanne will be back.. i want her back.. hahaha
Fynx look friendly.. saw her ystd.

i requested PG for AD can speak english as i dont speak chinese..

for PS, it will be msian. and He is neither Adrian nor Simon. may god bless me :D

thanks Noriko.

Hi,I'm here to this forums. Searching for a wedding photo shoot package now. No wonder so many people here letting go their YC package. I guess one of the reason is their professionalism quality.

Just to share and not against anyone from signing up but I think every penny for every quality "一分钱一分货". Yesterday I was in YC with my SO thinking of signing up packages but decided to walk away when I saw the boss making a sarcastic comments loudly toward a girl trying out gown and I think is Wendy's friend here but I am not sure because she doesn't look angry over the service at all, if she is not your friend, that mean that you are not the only one who wrote YC in the forum. Ofcos, I don't want this to happen to me. The boss commented "给她慢慢å¼ï¼Œè¦ä¸ç„¶åˆè¦åœ¨ç½‘上乱乱写". The poor girl just keep quiet and continue the fitting. I personnaly think that the boss here doesn't show any professionalism toward customer. No matter what criticism you received, you should not take it too personal and angry over it. Somemore this is being said over public where other customers in-store and that's scary. There are two more couples beside me and I am not sure if they walk away too but this is definitely not the way to do business. Hope they change their service quality before it's getting from bad to worst.

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 :p
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

Pantan,

Thanks for your advices =D Really appreciate!

I've signed up a package with YC because i feel the staff are helpful & approachable. They are transparent in their package, flexible & willingly to give you what you need. Not too pushy & very willing to listen, clarify & accomodate.

I am looking forward to meeting the team that i will be working with again nearing to my PS date to choose my gown.

My wedding will be in June 2012, so I am planning to take my PS in mid Jan.
So should i start going to choose my gowns for PS in mid Nov?

Hi ladies, I've also signed up with YC and will be getting married in June 2012. Is there any particular coordinator that comes highly recommended? And if anyone can recommend a make-up artist/ photographer too please?

I already have an idea of what dress I want but I guess I should try the styles first just in case I don't look nice.

Lastly, is there any recommended time I should make my first appointment with YC? I have a MTM WG so not sure if I should start in Jan 2012 or earlier?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know whether I am consider unlucky or lucky, but I just signed a package from YC. I went to view their website and only see ball gowns and evening gowns that are not my taste. I like to ask any of the brides to be or been, see their gowns varieties? Is it really limited, old designs, as I think they are?

I prefer other bridal studio, but my partner want less hassle and just pick this bridal studio after just a brief talk with them.

How? =(

Hi CQ, since you have already signed the package with them, dont worry too much.

When you go for your gown selection, they will ask what is your preference, and pick something close to your liking.

I think they have lots to select from, or maybe you can request if you can do your own selection off the rack?

Unless, you tried and really dont like then maybe you can ask your partner to change another BS.

Be postive!

I think what you can compare is how many pieces of gown you have if you sign with other BS.
and the number of photos you have in your package rather then the gowns.

Or maybe, if you browse through any magazine, you can show it to them if they have similar design?

Hope it helps!
