The Garden Wedding

Went bridal studio shopping with my cousin on Saturday, and it was such an eye-opener! The variety of cuts, shapes and designs of the wedding gowns available on the racks of the bridal studios are simply stunning and makes one feel really spoilt for choice, as they all look so beautiful!

And to my surprise, the service of the 2 bridal studios we visited were friendly and not at all pushy. One had such young staff that I felt they could truly understand and relate to what the young bride-to-be needs!

It was really so much fun, and I hope I can be included in more of the excitement of her plans.. Hee..

Just some learning points obtained from the visits:
1) The gowns look entirely different when viewed on the racks compared to when they are taken down and out of their bags, or when worn on the bride-to-be’s body
2) Pre-conceived notions of particular designs of gowns that would look bad on the bride-to-be should be thrown out of the window until that particular design has been tried on personally
3) Be frank with the staff of the bridal studio as to what you need and want, so that you can obtain as much useful information as possible
4) Package prices are considered commercial secrets, so no bridal studio would pass you a quote of their packages with details. Remember as much of the details as possible, you can always write them down after you leave the studio!
5) Freebies thrown into the packages may seem attractive, but do consider what you truly need and whether the bridal studio can satisfy your requirements. An important factor might be the attitude of the staff. Imagine that you have to deal with these people amidst your busy wedding plans. You surely wouldn’t want to have to expend more energy than neccessary on arguing with them or losing the cheer of the whole process by getting annoyed by their negative attitudes, right?

When would it be my turn?
