PreWedding Shoot + Wedding Actual Day With The Aisle Bridal - Review

Took Up Bridal Studio @ Wedding Fair Changi City Point~

We were not there to sign, just want to look around~

Got attracted because of a photo that Jessica Liu is in 1 of the album~
Remember the drama and I really like the way the took the pictures~

Its a silly reason take up the package with them~
Partly is the package they gave us was quite value for money~
But sometimes, you get what you paid?

During the 1 yr preparation of wedding~
They Shifted 3 locations!!!

It sound really ridiculous~ 
But i am not angry cos they move nearer and nearer to me~
WAhaha~

Macpherson - Orchard Road - Tanjong Pagar~


Their really nice gown is actually for small size or thin girls...

I know I am oversize... SO I do not have High expectation or requirement~
Something I can wear and suit me~

Their gown is kind of limited for my size~
Those that catch my eyes are not suitable for me~
WAhaha~

Luckily my coordinator is patient and she really find those that suit me...
She does bring me those I like, but it really turn out super bad or super FAT~
WAagag

Well, everything sure will have hiccups ~
They forgot about my tea/short dress,  when I remember and asked about it, they told me its too late to have it tailor made and ready for photo taking~ We are about 1 - 2 months away~
And those they have [ready made] is really very ugly to us~

So i did not have any for my photo taking~ ~

Which is I am quite upset about it~

I believe some couple would have already bang table which I believe doing that, my short dress will be ready in time~

But I choose not to do that, cos I used to work in service line and treating them harsh will not land us in any where good~

So far, they have been nice as they allow me to make a change for my 2nd gown as I did not really like it after I have selected it ~ Wahaha~
Of course, I do not have any much choice~
Or I did not choose, because they say no other gown le~
The final gown i selected was what my co ordinator suggested on the 1st trial, its really weird cos it look very indian during the 1st trial but it look REALLY good on the 2nd trial~

Sometimes, need to listen to professional advice~ WAhaha~

Experience with The Aisle Bridal was Good~
Except that i need come out for the design of my short dress and they got it wrong at the final product~ 
We went down 1st time to try the size~ They do it in WRONG COlor~

2nd trial~ Correct colour but crystal is still not up~

The trial was also delay, cos they say the tailor is sick~
They inform just 1 day before the fitting day~
The gown just need 1 day to complete?
The gown should be ready and send down to the bridal shop by then?

What really amazing is, we reached the bridal shop and i saw the the gown being freshly delivery...
Stepping into the bridal shop later then I am..

We have been easy going as Mr Lee is not someone will dispute... 
He is a everything also ok, easy going person...
I also don't like to make things turn bad unless I am force to?
The designer, Yvonne of the bridal have always been nice to us, remembering us, greeting us whenever she see us~
@ that time, she is also pregnant, I don't want to tired a mum to be~
As long everything is good , don't delay the Actual day...

 3 days before my wedding~
We went for the final fitting and also to collect all the gown for the actual day~
They give me heart attack~

The atmosphere was a little bad because we reached on time 1530, I think we waited to about 1600 or 1615 to have our fitting.
Before that, we were called 2 x by another co ordinator to try the short gown where the fitting room is FULL and PACKED with other customer~
I think we will be less pissed off if she leave us sitting there, without troubling us moving up and down with our bags yet not able to do the fitting~

The next horror which make me cry is ~~~~
They sew flower lace on the short gown instead of crystal that we have communicated~

That was the time, where my sister tell them off~

Then my Co ordinator become free for me ~ 

Some times, it is really bad to say, you need to show your attitude before they start kicking~

The lace really scared me , its really HORRIBLE ~ 
I was really worried that there will be no time to do it ?
As they took so long to do the short dress?

Then Yvonne came to calm me down and remove the lace and sew on the crystal~
Chinese believe, when you are pregnant, you should not be sewing anything~
I worried for her, but no choice, she got to do it?

I am thankful to her  still thou its their mistake~

When we are doing the fitting, then Jacqueline explains that as previous customer came wrong timing, that why the appointment is delay~


Actual Day Camera Man + Video Man~


Took up the package with The Aisle too ~

Its kind of disappointment~

Video man was on time~
The camera man came late without calling to inform~
We had to call him and ask where he is at 0515 and he don't sound sorry at all as per my sister~

When we reached hotel, they ask for permission to go find food and will come back 30 mins before the start of my ROM

They did not take initiative to take picture around the hotel, or suggest us to take picture around the hotel.

They did not take a group photo of both Brothers and Sister with their "theme" clothes on~

There are no picture or video  taken between my 1st to 2nd march in~

Because we start really early, so I did not ask them to come as early as us~ 
THerefore, there is not standard picture of the wedding heels, gowns, we preparing and etc
But all this can be make up during the break before the ROM and 2nd March in~ [ I saw other photographer doing it ]

No initiative @ all~ 

Definitely its our fault too as we did not instruct them~

Maybe you will say "you ask them to do it"
But come on, the day itself is so busy~ 
If I can remember and do so many things myself, I no need to pay them to do it?

Maybe I have too much expectation on them?
Seeing the other photo / Video professional job till I tot it is automatic and should be part of it ?

There is also no morning express... If I want to do it, need to pay which we are fine~
But they told us need 6 hrs and in that 6 hrs, no video man will be there to video~
It makes no sense at all~
Pay extra to get extra job/ stuff done but the actual job is being abandon?
Some how is like paying double for a job to be done ?

We opt out for that~~

The photos and videos took 3 months to reach us !

the video of the actual day has no highlight, just raw 200 mins of video~

Photo edited till Mr Lee hair is white~

Super angry ~!!

DO NOT TAKE UP ACTUAL DAY PACKAGE WITH THEM~ IF YOU CAN~

I am luckily that my Co ordinator and MUA is highly recommended in the bridal forum~
I kind of have the "best" team~
I also enjoy the assistance that they have provided me~
Except that MUA was a little impatient when I keep tearing when doing the make up~
1 of the eye is not completed and I have a Big Small Eye in the morning~

The string of the white gown also broke when MUA helping my to wear the gown~
It broke twice~~~~~
MY heart sang ~ I almost cried~

Luckily MUA know how to sew~ She sew it back for me~
As it is by hand~ The threat is not very strong also, we did not tie the gown tight!
It make me look like pregnant and the gown looks crumpled?

I was really worried that it might break ANYTIME~

Its a Bad start ~

Overall, they score 6/10~
It is definitely okay to take up wedding package with them~
BUT NOT THE ACTUAL DAY PG and VG~

Most relax and enjoyable moment of the wedding preparation is ~

Food Tasting~
