Bridal Studio Part II

With less than 6 months away from our wedding day, OWLoon and I decided that it's about time we go Bridal Studio (BS) shopping... (ok ok... more like I nagged him into thinking that we're behind schedule cos hey, the last time we went to a wedding fair was easily 5 months ago!)

So last Saturday we drove over to SS2. By the way SS2 has now turned into a bridal city! There must have been at least 10 to 20 BS there! But ahem, I ain't complaining cos it makes it easier to walk from one to the other... competitive comparisons you know...

D.e.C.a.s.a.m.i.a.

The was the first outlet we went to cos we visited their booth the last time round at a Wedding Fair. Thought of checking out their gowns this time. We were served by the outlet supervisor... who wouldn't let us check out anything until she fully explains ALL the details of their packages. Though she was an annoying lady (pushy and ching-chong), somehow we found ourselves attracted to their photography style... they have this nice garden studio outside their outlet...

And they even showed us a catalogue that boast their impressive C.a.n.o.n camera (apparently it's some high end DSLR that cost 5-digit), followed by an impressive office that house a team of nerds... I mean editing / touch up artists... (most BS only has a few artistes)...

Plus, because they take pride in their photography... they even have this special package to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for an outdoor photo shoot! The sample photos they showed us had couples posing for pictures in a beautiful outdoor framed by a bright blue sky. It was truly spectacular!

M.o.n' L.i.z.a
This was the 2nd BS we visited... And when they showed us their photos, we immediately made a mental note to cross them out... cos they specialize in theme-photography... think costumes and exaggerated fairy tale looks... some are even of dark European 50s style... but they have quite an impressive loads of gowns and costumes... And the SA who served us was a bubbly, friendly, young girl...

V.o.g.u.e C.o.l.l.e.c.t.i.o.n
By the time we hit the 3rd BS, we were exhausted from all the explanations and our ears were ringing... but we went into this BS nevertheless (also cos' we needed to use the loo)... Here, nothing stood out... The only thing worth mentioning was of course their gowns selections... they had over 1,000 pieces of gowns available! That's damn a lot of gowns! But like I said, we were tired... and wasn't really paying attention di...

As you can see from the reviews above, it looked as if we have already made up our mind about signing up with D.e C.a.s.a.m.i.a... But since it was getting late and we were tired, we went home without signing up. But that night, I visited every single forums and blogs that I could find on D.e C.a.s.a.m.i.a. It was then, that I found lots of positive reviews... not on D.e C.a.s.a.m.i.a but on another BS... called B.r.i.d.a.l C.o.n.c.e.p.t which is also conveniently located in SS2. :)
