my cousin went with volans, was about $3388 in total. their photoshoot is local. heard they are quite ok, they offer overseas too. Their gowns are a little limited though. I am still keeping a lookout for boutiques for my own wedding. :)

I signed up with Volan Couture too a few years back. Kind of regret though as i also agreed that their wedding gowns were very limited and no much varieties to choose from.

I also signed up with Volans recently. Yet to look into their gowns but i like the photography.

hey anthenis, do share about how you find their gowns. personally i feel that their photography is their strong point instead of their dresses (limited selection), you may have to request for the same photog which took the shoots you like. :)

Hmm, I must agree that photography is their strong point and the style is totally different from others. Who will go to ToastBox to PS? It's fresh and bringing up a sense of warmth by capturing the most natural moment between the couple.

However, I found out that their services attitude is a bit too pushy for my liking. Some incidents happened and ultimately, I didn't take their package even though I like their PS. However, for the couple who want to try on different PS style, they should be fine in their work.

Hi brides-to-be! Did a search on Volans Couture but no results. Would like to post my review!

Just did my photoshoot with them. We signed up with them last year at a fair in Suntec. We actually did not do any research! During the fair, the first shop we sat down at was My Dream Wedding.. we were with them, hearing the sales person talk for 45 min... :bored: Kinda hard sell.. i don't like!! In the end, i signalled to my bf to leave... and we just suddenly said we need to look around, and left their booth.

Next to MDW is Volans Couture.. we asked to see photo samples.. well, we were satisfied with what we saw.. thus we enquired about packages. The lady who tended to us did not kept talking to us or probe the usual questions when we were looking at the samples. I like this.

Anyway while at the Volans booth, one question led to another, and my bf even went on to bargain about the package! Details like ampoules, eyelash, extra photo etc etc etc all came up. In the end, we just signed up cos already bargain and we really liked the lady and Eric (i think is the boss) attitude. Friendly, and never hard sell.

Ok, so fast forward to last month we went to choose gowns etc. A girl called Showine serviced us. I really like her! She is not the talkative kind, very polite and friendly. She was the one suggesting the gowns i try, zip/unzip for me...

Next came the actual photoshoot day. Wow very tiring..... luckily rained only in the morning and when it was time for outdoor shoot, rain stopped! Prior to my shoot, i was researching for AD makeup artist, cos my thinking is.. bridal shop not specialised. maybe their make up so-so.. I wanna look my best on my AD!! So even though my package includes AD makeup, I still looking around.

However, during my photoshoot day, my hairstyles and makeup all very nice! Esp love my hair. The makeup lady really made my hair very nice! i feel i looked like a doll. Brides, do colour your hair prior to the photoshoot. I did and i feel the hairstyles made my hair colour pop (or vice versa?)

I have yet to see the pictures.. so i cannot comment on the end product. I will update here when view them. I especially took time to review Volans as i feel they really service us from the heart. As i read so many reviews on bridal shops, and read so many horror stories on hard sell or bad service after signing, good bridal shops really need to be praised!

The only thing I can pick on is maybe their evening gown selection not alot. To me not an issue though, as I am into those simple white gowns.

P.S. I am not working for Volans definitely! I will update should my perception of them change though. for eg, if when choosing photos they keep pressure me to choose many many many photos that sort of nonsense. Anyone who is interested to know more about my package can PM me. Cheers!

i went with my sister to choose her gowns.. Very disappointed with the selections very limited.. its like within mins can glance thru all

selection was fast i guess.. the person only took abt 6 gowns for my sister to choose. When we make comment of the gowns selection limited, the co-ordinator is very unhappy. and become unattentive.

hope her photoshoots will turn up well. anyway i dont understand why they dont allow others to follow ?? I will definately not recommend

Hi all bride to be,

I have just completed my Big Day with them. Just wanna post my review as I feel that they have provided good services to me. We signed up with them about 2 years at a wedding fair. In fact, we just wanted to see the difference of the packages that are available and have agreed that we will not sign any packages on that day.

Volans Couture was the 4th bridal shop that stopped us and by then we have been in the fair for more than 2 hours spending time with the first 3 bridal companies trying hard to sell their packages to us. They start showing us the photo samples the moment we sit down and the lady attending to us was very friendly. No hard selling at all. They go direct to point and understand what are your needs to customize the basic package to your preferences.

Choosing of gowns was never easy for me as I can’t decide what I want. But I was lucky that the coordinator was helpful and she has given me a lot of advice of the kind of gowns that could be suitable for me. On the day of photoshooting, the photographer and the photographer assistant was very helpful. They offer to carry all my belongings when we were doing outdoor shooting and also help me to change the hair accessories.

My MUA was a guy, if I don’t remember wrongly his name is Alson. Prior to the photoshooting day, he shared with me on the colours that I can try on my hair. On the actual shooting day, he made me feel that I look like a doll and even shared with me on how the make up will be done.

The end product was really great. During to picking of photo session, they were not pushy at all. They show us the pictures batch by batch according to the location for us to shortlist those that we want and we do it more than 5 rounds. To be frank I never though that I will spend in buying photos but I did. If you would like to look at the end product you can PM me.

Just to share, I have also used their service for my actual day. I add on the videography service for the express highlights of the morning gate crashing to been shown during the wedding dinner. Eric (I think is the boss), suggested that he could try to at in the 1st march in highlights to the video if they have enough time to do so which I believe not many companies can do so.

P.S.: I am not working for Volans definitely! Anyone who is interested to know more about my package can PM me. Cheers!

Hi brownielaw and chewdiana,

Congrats on your marriage!! Can you kindly share your package details (and photos if convenient) with me please? I've tried to PM but seems like my post count is insufficient for that. Thanks so much. :)

Update!

hi ladies! I have chosen my pics! Total I chose 70 pics.. Me n hubby got nothing to "hiam".

Good news is that when choosing the pics, we also did not experience any hard sell at all! This is a super plus point as I have zero tolerance for hard sell tactics. The coordinator did ask me to top up to 80 pics, and will throw in some freebies. We declined - no black face etc. I am super satisfied with their services and attitude. Thus, we signed AD photography with them too.

Some feedback on many BTB question about their gown selection. I feel that they lose out on their selection of evening gowns. Their white gowns I can easily find to my liking. Still no issues for me cos up till this stage, me n hubby really no regrets signing with VC. Service really very good.

I am not earning anything from this review. Just strongly feel that bridal shops that hardsell, change attitude after you signed need to be boycotted, and those that provide good services need to be made known!

Cheers
