Experience w Bridal Concept (Bugis)
Hi all BTBs,
I've finally finished my wedding which took me 1 year to prepare. Here are some of the experience I had with the bridal studio - Bridal Concept for your reference:
1. Coordinator: Sharon - very patient, attentive and prompt in providing professional advice/ suggestion for my ROM, pre-wedding photo-shoot, actual day.
2. MUA: Tiffany - make-up skill: 6.5/10 (the reason I could rank this is because I also invited another freelance MUA to make up for me during the same period and it turned out this freelance MUA is much better than Tiffany in terms of make-up skill and no giving me stunts), she knows how to sweet talk and cut throat brides. Throughout my ROM & pre-wedding photo-shoot, my hubby and I were always pushed to get ampoule so that we could look "more natural" after make-up since "it is once in the life time thing". The most irritating experience we had happened on our actual day: from my previous experience, I realized that ampoule does not make a lot of difference on my face so decided to omit out (partially also to save cost). Thinking that we just needed to pay for the extra eyelashes (S$20/time x 2 times - morning & evening) and save on the ampoule (S$20/time x 2 times - morning & evening); at the end of day, we were told by Tiffany that we needed to pay her total of S$80, as she put double-layer eyelashes for me (S$20/time x 4 times - 2 in morning & 2 in evening). As I usually don't wear make-up, I did not realize that she put double-layer eyelashes for me without telling me about it before she even started. Previously during my ROM & pre-wedding photo-shoot, I was recommended to get single-layer eyelashes (S$20/time) and I looked perfectly fine in those pictures. So I could not say much than being conned to meet her extra income target per bride. So all BTBs, please take note and talk straight to your MUA, especially if your MUA is Tiffany. I believe she still has many more stunts to earn extra from you.
3. Pre-wedding photo-shoot: Kino - photography skill is ok. But attitude is terrible. Even when we offered for him to take our transport for free (by right, he should have his own studio transport), he still complained the whole journey that the car is too small and too uncomfortable. He kept commenting why we didn’t pay extra to get MUA go along for the outdoor photo-shoot (as it will be more fun for him). He doesn't care much about the bride & groom. He just walked on his own speed without considering that bride & groom having many things to carry (such as props, etc.) or running to follow him (just imagine you are wearing your wedding gown, holding it high so that you could run after your photographer). He won't tell you where you are going and ask you which places you want to take photos at. So do try to out-speak him if you "luckily" get him as your pre-wedding photographer.
4. Actual day photographer: Andy - photography skill is ok, I hope (as I haven't seen the pictures yet). He is rather experienced in wedding customs and creating fun moments. He is rather specific in terms of how many hours he provides service (by right, his service ended at 11 pm; but by left, he told us that he needed to stop at 10.45 pm. We were too busy to count in details with him, so let him go as and when he said his time was up).
Overall, the experience with BC is 6/10. Without the "contribution" from Tiffany & Kino, I believe the rating could be higher.
That's all my experience with BC. Hope it could be of help to all BTBs. Every bride deserves a stress-free and trick-free wedding.
All the best
