I signed up for my pre-wedding last December at their shop.
During they introducing their package, I was told that all their gowns can go for indoor and outdoor shooting.
And they have lots of gowns for me to choose, even for my size (I'm 164cm, 64kgs, some people would say I'm fat, but I consider myself meaty).
It's better that I save some idea gowns photo from internet and show to her colleague during gown selection, she will help me to look for the perfect gown.
Meanwhile, she did bring to have a look on their gowns in a room. She told me that they will bring in new gowns from time to time, those hanging in the shop is all platinum range. Some of platinum range will then use as shooting gown when they bring in new gowns (means they are no longer platinum gowns).
I find that it's fine since she told me all the prices if I would like to upgrade my dress or add more post or to purchase soft copy.
So, we signed up on that day.
I actually feel fishy as I could not find any post of bride posting their gown selection photos, it was very limited.
And I read lots of "not-so-good comments" from internet at the same time I do saw some having good experience with them. And yea, some are fake account, the other forum have fake accounts too, all posting a super good comments.
So I pray hard that meet a professional consultant when comes to my gown selection, makeup and shooting.
I have selected my gowns few weeks ago, below is my experience.
They told me to go 1st floor for gown selection as al gowns for shooting is there, which they never mentioned when I signing the package.
When I arrived at the 1st floor, the consultant attended to us.
1st, they helped us to reserve all the date and time for our photo selection and actual day gowns selection.
2nd, they told us the Dos and Don'ts at their Studio and the Dos and Don'ts before our pre-wedding shooting day.
Her explanations is pretty clear.
Here comes to our gowns selection when she bring me to and area which about 600sqft, with 3hanging racks about 8-10fts length, with white gowns, light colour and dark colour gowns at each. I can't remember how many gowns were hanging at each racks, may be +/-30gowns each rack. (Suddenly I feel I "seong-cheh" d)
Then I was told I can select my gowns for shooting from here, she will help me to check whether it's available for my date or if it suitable for me.
They did not set time limits or the quantity that I can try for me. So me and my friends start looking for the gowns.
I do show her some photos, but she did not help me to find or recommend some gowns for me.
Since so, we just try those we thinks is beautiful.
And she bring me 2 platinum range evening gowns for me to try since my package included 1platinum gowns, I can use it for shooting or wear it on the actual day.
One thing I feel thankful is she did not show me faces while trying all those gowns, those gowns is not light and small, she have to carrying in and out. Yet, the way we put in the gowns is different, some you need to wear from top, some from below. I think most married experience this, some thinks is fun, some feel tiring. I have lost count on the number of gowns I have tried, but it's more than 20gowns.
She helped me to take photo of every gowns, front and back (No photos are allowed to take even video call).
When comes to selection of tux for my BF, the normal range is really really very normal, some is quite old style yet ah beng (sorry to say that)
Those advertisement OPPA is wearing their platinum range tux. So BF pay extra RM280 to get an OPPA style tux. Same, she help bf to take the front and back photos for every tux he try. And then upload all photo to their computer to show us. The real selection of gowns start from here.
During reviewing those photos, she did give some advise and comments (which I finds too straight forwards).
There was a off shoulder gowns which is quite sweet and dreamy, but it was not my size. Although I am able to fit in to the gown, but it limit my arm movements. She told me to workout hard so that I can fit in to that dress. Well, I recalled that when I signing up the package the sales told me "MY DREAM WEDDING definitely have your size, and we have LOTS OF GOWNS for your selection." Meanwhile, there are beautiful gowns but most for petite bride. Since your marketing said have lots of gowns, it's better to invest some in your business, increase the flexibility of those gowns so that can alter it into any size. Workout hard in few weeks time to fit into that dress is risky as once we confirmed the gowns, there will be a charge of RM300/gown/changes. So I just pick those that I think it's good and looks nice in me.
We have total spent like 4hours (1hour for the DOs and DONTs stuffs and appointments and the rest for trying and choosing gowns).
I am counting down for my shooting day. Pray hard everything go smooth. Will update after that.
P/S: I use to access to forums but very very rare will post or comment. I'm a REAL ACCOUNT.
Joined 2011 and posted a wall of text post just for my dream wedding.
I wish the best for your shoot since you have signed their package. But you have to brace yourself ya. Definitely will need to pay more. For the rest of the nice photos u take, either you pay or they keep them away from you.
