Hi ckxy,

Thanks for the sincere reply. I am glad and feel more relieve from your words.

Just that i have one queries. When you sign up your packages with them, they did ask you to send them email regarding the receipt number, particulars and some additional enquires right? How long did france paris bridal reply you via email? I am worried now as i sign up on last saturday however till date still yet to receive any reply.

Care to share with me the whole process of the booking and communication with them?

Hope to hear from you soon and some guiding from you :)

Thank you.

Hi princejr, I have just finish the photoshoot with France Paris only a few days ago.

The service was good, look for Honey as she have been working there for some time and provided very good service.

Below is the whole process

Day 1

We arrive at the shop at 1pm and we went down to the basement 1 for gown selection. We saw rows and rows of wedding gown! Counted 11 rows!! We are allowed to roam around to find the ones we wanted and take as much photos as we wanted! After chossing for 4 hours we managed to find what we wanted. The lady who serve us was very patient and my bride tried 20 dress to chose 5 dress.

After we have selected the 5 dress, we went up to level one to discuss the activities for the next day. We were shown many places to take photos and even photos of couples who had just taken. After selection, we confirm with them the dresses and we were ask if we need a mua to follow us. The cost of the mua is NT5000 around s$230, trust me is worth it as she is able to transform my bride to any image we can see in the magazine and she will do lots of touch up along the way.

We wre told to meet at 7.30am for the next day. For guys please note that France Paris do not have any suits at the shop you need to go to another shop to select your suit! No worries is included in the package.

Please note that you need to pay the driver NT5000 for the whole day trip and NT500 for lunch if you are treating the mua, photographer and his assistant.

Day 2

7.30am arrive at the shop, did our make up and went off at 10am with 6 person in our group. Joe our photographer was very good and we love his disco dog hair style. He was patient and guide us thoughout our photo shoot. We went 3 different places, there were 5 different hair changes and 5 different gown changes for the whole journey. We took photos till 9pm. We reached back at 9.30pm and poor Joe have to edit the photos till 3am in the morning. We arrange to be back at 5 pm the next day.

Day 3

5pm back at the shop, we begin our photo selection. Joe took 400 pictures of us and edit 300 for us. He deleted 100 as he say is not up to his standard. We managed to select 130 pictures and bargain for 100 pictures at below S$30 per picture as 30 pictures is included in our package. We will told to collect our bed side photo within 3 days and we can carry it back to Singapore. The rest will be ship back to us.

What I saw there was 6 workstations*for photo viewing and 5 dressing tables*at level 1 for brides. Basement 1 have 4 changing areas for brides and is the super big kind where the bride can change comfortably. Brides , grooms and children from china, Singapore, hong kong and Taiwan were there coming in and out of the shops. There is another shop area at level 5 but we did not go there.

The overall experience was very good and we enjoy ourselves very much.

Hi all!!!

I have just finish my photoshoot with Tiffany 帝芬妮精品婚紗 last month ^^.

and decided to create a page for Tiffany BTB.

those interested can join/like.

for me I love their photos!!!!
so nice... hehe :X

you can take a look.

we can discuss there too..

btw is not official fan page hor... is just i create for tiffany btb or those who want to know more de ^^

http://www.facebook.com/TiffanyBTB

For those who like to know and have a rough gauge.

Our package is $2,388 for 30pics 1 day shoot.
Throw in free NG photoshoots.
60inch posters.
Free night photoshoots.
The rest are pretty normal like additional side photoframe & etc.
There are some other things I bargain for but cannot be reveal.
Depends on individual & the sales person you meet.

Saw some of you gotten a package with much higher price.
Not too sure why though.
Anyway we were lucky enough, its was their first time in SG when we went to the roadshow in EXPO.
Wanted to sign up with bluebay but was attracted to their amazing photos. Comparable or actually better than bluebay. If you did notice bluebay is more of the standard romance. Lack of abit of cuteness and freshness and smile. If you really notice. Is like more of the standard wedding pic. Just that their skills of capture is very good. Depends on what your preference but to me tiffany have variety.

Well of cox we ask for quite alot of things. I would advise all brides before signing up packages request for more pics.
Just try to bargain. In anyway is the pics that cost wor.
If you can't bargain and get what you want, you may want to walk away.
End of the day you are willing to buy because they are willing to sell.

For your rough guide on how much you will spend in TAIWAN.

My hubby & I have a total of 8 ampoules in total? If I remember correctly. Total cost was TWD6,000.
MUA & transport fee: SGD$300
We went to Ai Li Si & Hua Hai for phototaking: TWD 4000 ( TWD 2000 for each place if I remember correctly , but I am confirm Ai Li Si is TWD 2000 )
So you will be expecting to spend TWD10,000? About SGD$425? + $300 mua & transport fee: We are looking at SGD$725 which is what we spend.

For a 3days 2 nights. I would recommend you to bring $1500.
Remember to activate your card for overseas withdrawal.
For a 5days 4 nights. I would recommend you to bring $2500.
Don't forget you may end up using your money to top up for the extra pics.
I went for 11days 10 nights and brought SGD4000. End up using 2.5k for the pics & etc. =.=
& and miserably left 1.5k for the rest of the 8 days?
If you are a shopaholic I recommend you to set aside SGD$300-$400/day be it for sightseeing or whatever.
You may like to bring SGD1500(Just for the top up & mua & transport fee) you can pay in SGD to them Left over can bring back
Ampules: be expected to spend SGD$250-400 depends on your skin condition but it will be paid in TWD. so remember to set aside money for it.

We took a total of 307 photos including NG shoots. which is so much more than expected.
First selection was about 230pics? we were shock as they are all so nice.
I am abit plum is that sense but the pics does not show that I am fat in anyway. ^^
Second selection we know is abit too much we cancel alot of them just with a slight dislike.
Still the number was 130+. =.= Almost fainted. After doing my maths I guess I can't stick to it so I go for another round. ^^
This time round we left 78 pics. So in the end we took 78 pics after bargaining for 3hours. LOLx.
$$$$$ =.=
Its all qiang sir fault for taking so much nice pics.

Our team:
Qiang Sir: Photographer
Ah Wei: Light controller
Tina: MUA
Ming Wei：MUA assistant

I guess we gotten the best & strongest team too.
But the bad thing is in SG you guys will be know upfront that you can't choose your team. Or you have to pay.
For those that believe in my taste after looking at my pic.
You may like to try bargain before you sign?
If only you have research to know which team you want.
I have uploaded a few pics in the BTB page.
You may take a look & browse on my sneak preview hehe..

Btw when we went there we went to look around their side , and found out they have standards & exclusive design for the album and picture frame.
Exclusive are those that are not included in our package they are all in a set. nicely done.
And if you are interested guess you got to top up a SGD$689?
Well the thing is that you will not be push for the upgrade as they won't ask you also.
We happen to see so we ask, but was sad to hear that is not included.
However, those that do not wish to top up, fret not.
Expect for the big photo frame that is squarish. With about 10 designs to chose from.
They have 10-20 album design for you to chose.

Note: Btw you may wish to be aware to ask for 无细缝album when you sign the package.
If you have choosen for 有细缝albumand want to switch you needa top up.
As that 无细缝album are much much more expensive.
Never lose your reciept. Once gotten it, scan in your computer & take a shot in your hp.
Just incase for any dispute.
Trust me. you will need them.
For the package you took.
Either take a copy from them what provided in the package as not all will be written in the receipt and when you get there they may have a hard time to
trace as we will not be serve by salesperson in Singapore that we meet. or just simply use your HP to take a picture.
Whatever you bargain for or ask for write down in black and white. (This is simple logic)
Though all of us know that but there are times where we meet people that say is alright la. You just come and find me I will remember. Or this is standard
la don't need to write. Don't fall for it. Not for any boutique as they have tons of customers and they will eventually forget who you are and what they say.
So protect yourself. Not that I say Tiffany is like this. But just want you girls to protect yourself. Even if it is a simple questions. as long as you know if they
peng wei you will have to pay then please write down.

Btw: I took scoot during promo spend SGD$350 for ticket
Stay in service apartment aka minsu : SGD$60-90/night

Any other queries feel free to ask me in

Took our Taiwan PS with Bluebay on the 29 Mar 13. MUA was Jia Ning, PG was De Ge with assistant Xiao Ke. It was so cold and raining on the photo shooting day but Jia Ning was very professional and skilful in my make up especially the hair do that she did for me. They took very good care of us and we were very stiff in taking photos but Xiao Ke was good and cracked jokes that made us more relaxed and natural. They were not pushy at all on the additional pictures, we have chosen additional 40 pieces cos those pictures were very beautiful and we are impressed as those photos were before editing! Overall was a very memorial experience and my HTB has fun with the whole photo taking session!

Hi Yangjacq, yup, my receipt is under Julia News. I'm quite cool with the structure of the organisation though! Cos the lady selling the package to me is quite patient in explaining to me and my HTB on their organisation.

So apparently, their first boutique is Beattice Wedding and they expanded 3 other brands under them in Taichung, one of which is Julia News. This Julia News is different from the Julia Wedding News that has been in operation in Sg for years and has alot of taiwan celebrities signing up with them. And because there's the latter one in sg already, they decided to use Queena Wedding (which is one of the 4 brands within the organisation in Taichung) as the brand to bring into sg, to avoid confusion.

Hence they are named Queena Wedding in Sg and not Julia News/ Julia Wedding News.

That's all i can remember, correct me if im wrong :)

Hi All,

Just came back from my photoshoot in Kaohsiung and Kenting.... Very tiring.... Overall experience is still very good.

Cang Ai Kaohsiung: (Customer Service is excellent and everyone there are very courteous, very professional, helpful and friendly)

Gowns: Nice and good overall. The lady (Short hair) that company me for choosing gown was nice, i have no clue of what kind of gowns i want or like, she patiently go through a number of gowns with me until i choose the gowns that i want.

MUA in Kaohsiung: My was 李姿儀, I can say she is a very wonderful MUA.... The make up she does for me was VERY VERY nice and natural. Although i have only 4 gowns but each location we went for photoshoot, she volunteer to change my hair style and assessories for me! She was so professional and approachable. Really would wish to ask her to come to SG for my actual day but she has been booked by a Hong Kong couple...

Photographer in Kaohsiung: Daniel.... He was quite strict on the pose that he wants from us but he will teach us the way to pose and he is very good in making us smile. After a long day of shooting, so tired of smiling but he will still find jokes to make us laugh throughout the shoot. Alot of poses that he will ask us to do make me look so slim, heehee... Pictures taken was nice!

Photography Assistant: Ah Xiang. Not very intelligent, some photos of mine has his shadow in it.

Cang Ai Kaohsiung: Customer Service is more than EXCELLENT and everyone there are very courteous, very professional, approachable. During my early morning make-up, before leaving the place, they still ask if we want bubbletea and they even order delivery for us as afraid we will be hungry as my makeup started at 7am!

Overall experience with them are still wonderful... Hopefully on this saturday, while selecting layout of our photos in SG outlet will be a smooth one too! Cant wait to meet up Vicky (SG outlet assistant) this saturday who have helped me so much before the trip by printing all the train maps, suggesting where to stay, eat and play in taiwan. She also help us make necessary arrangements for our photoshoot!
