Hunt for Bridal Studio (BS) - Part I

It was 5th day of CNY and we decided to visit LaBelle Couture to take a look at their wedding collection and packages =)

We have shortlisted a number of bridal shops based on friend's recommendations and forum ratings. To date, the shortlisted BS are Sophia Wedding Collection, The Wedding Present, My Bridal Room, Golden Horse Awards, Divine Couture and La Belle Couture. Good reviews from forum and beautiful gown designs featured in magazines were the main reasons why we approached this bridal shop first at Tanjong Pagar. Anyway many of the bridal shops were not opened yet after CNY, and the consultant at the door impressed me with his politeness, well-mannered and non-pushy nature. An recent award winning evening gown displayed at the shop helped too =)

And what can I say! Its great fun and excitement shopping for WG! The experienced image consultant Kath left a strong impression in my mind as she has an eye for details, by just one look at our faces and figures. She was already able to suggest gown types, colours, makeup and types of hairdos which will compliment each other's look =D. Also, we like the simple and classy styles of their photography. Their package price for OTR gowns also fits and meets our humble budget!

What was originally planned to be a 10min enquiry on package prices, turned out to be more than an hour's cosy discussion at the shop. I must admit that I took a strong liking to their WG which are predominantly simple and classy gowns with lots and lots of embroidery and laces. Nevertheless, we had absolutely no pressure to sign up the package. The frank and professional services provided by the staff was really impressive.

All in all... although it is still too early to talk about securing a package, it was a good and fun way to start our BS hunt!
