How do you choose a Bridal House?

by Errolyn

Well, first of all, you kinda visit a few around town - just a few cos mind you, if you wanna go all out, it could very well kill you or at least fry your brain cells enough to turn you into a shivery idiot who goes around town mumbling - "Give me 12 more shots in exchange for the fresh flower bouquet....."

Remember to choose somewhere close to home cos you WILL be visiting them over and over again. So far, I count 1 (canvassing), 2 (sign up), 3 (gown try outs and alteration), 4 (gown trying to ensure they fit), 5 (photo taking), 6 (choosing photos - SIX hours), 7 (check out album design and layout), 8 (choose actual day gowns), 9 (pick up actual day gowns), 10 (deck out the wedding car in decorations), 11 (return gowns). We've cleverly merged 7 and 8 and hopefully I can again merge 9 and 10 but most probably not. So buyer beware - and try not to choose one in a area full of traffic!

Then ensure you can speak the same language as the employees there and that they can understand your vision and can provide you with enough choice in terms of gowns, photo styles, bouquets, car deco......

I had to look through a book of about 30 bouquet styles to choose my fresh flower bouquet. The car deco was easier - there were only 2 to pick from but only 1 obvious choice - for each Ju Han and myself. Hahahahahah - I don't know how we're going to do this marriage thing - we ALWAYS INEVITABLY make different choices - except I guess, apparently, for the important stuff.

I fell back on my original KIV bridal gown and evening gown this past Sunday. Not that we didn't see anything good in this our second time of looking for Actual Day dresses but we didn't see anything BETTER than our original choices - guess it means our first instincts were right. SO HAPPY.

Our album design layout was GORGEOUS by Ah San. So far, I have nothing to complain about. Bridal Concept in SS2 is just about perfect!

They've given us great gowns, great photos, great service todate, great choices for photo frames, album covers. We haven't gotten the CHEAPEST deal but we did get quality for the price we paid and in the end, that is important! The people there are happy - so far I've not seen a surly employee or unhappy clients in our MANY times there though Ju Han was a bit upset at one of the girls who kept coming out to disrupt our photography session by referring questions to our photographer.

It's been great so far and I look forward to our AMAZING pictures! They aren't over the top but they most surely aren't shabby either. They make us look like us!
