The Dress

Every girl wants to look stunning on her big day and that’s a fact!

Many have to manage a budget and is often stuck with very limited options. It doesn’t help that holding a wedding and renovating a house usually occur around the same time. At least, it’s almost true for us. We have been informed that the house will likely be ready by Q1 2014 and if we’re any lucky, it should be done by the end of this year. I do not have a budget but that doesn't mean the sky’s the limit. It only means I don’t know where to start in terms of budgeting until I meet with my wedding planner.

Being the super impatient person that I am, I emailed some of the most renowned gown designers in Singapore and mostly, their portfolio reflects what I want. THE DRESS has got to be simple but the simpler the dress is, the more important is the cutting and workmanship of the gown. Due to some unique circumstances, I have already met with the coordinators of Bridal Veil (by Michelle Huimin). An email also went out to Tan Yoong but his coordinators aren’t half as professional. I have always wanted to be a Tan Yoong bride and I’ve always told myself that as long as I can afford a Tan Yoong gown, nothing can make me compromise. I was wrong. I understand from many ex-Tan Yoong brides that he’s very patient and is a very nice and talented chap and I do not doubt that at all. But it seems that his coordinators aren’t very keen or either that, they’re too famous to entertain one more.

I am likely to go with Bridal Veil but I am not, by any means, settling for less. The moment you email them through the website, they respond within a couple of days. No one else has responded even until today, more than a week after I enquired. The Bridal Consultant sat down with us and patiently entertained the emerging streaks of a bride-zilla from me. She explained the packages without being pushy at all and allowed me to try a couple of gowns, just to see what I like. I felt very comfortable with them and I think they is crucial especially if you want your gown to be Made To Measure (MTM). The material and workmanship from Bridal Veil is among one of the best you can find in Singapore.

This review is not final and there will be more to come…
