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!
