okie, let's go through one by one. bridal boutique package: i strongly feel that we should engage in one which has all the following attributes.
1) a designer whom you can communicate with and designing skills which you trusted in and take a liking to.
2) a boutique where the environment is cosy and the staff is friendly. remember, you are gonna need all the help from this place (be it the make-up artist, designer, florist etc) to make the whole event a smooth one.
3) reputation. you just have to check forums and with those who engaged the boutique before to get a better picture on how honorable it is in servicing. if not, go with your gut feeling.
anyway, where was i...oh bridal boutique. obviously, i want one that can gimme my "ideal" gown. tell me, which do you prefer? this... ?
or this?
the answer is quite obvious, no? the thing is, for bridal boutique, every cent counts. if you have like $10k to burn, by all means go to Tan Yoong and you'll get this fairy-like gown below:
get the idea? every cent counts.
so we've establish the fact one can't possibly scrimp alot in the gown department.
moving on, let's talk about studio/outdoor photography. this is really dependent on individual's views. for those who are camera shy or of the notion that albums can only be left to collect dust after all the hassle of wedding may choose to spend less or hell, just scrap the whole idea of having photoshoot at all.
but whats the point of having beautiful gowns but no photos to capture them? and whats the point of engaging a photographer whose skills aint good. again, in my opinion, every cent counts. you cant possibly get one who shoot fantastic shots but charges low fees.
again, you prefer this ?
or this?
again, the answer is obvious. so tell me, how to scrimp??
dear dear kept on saying how his friends got their bridal and photography package at half of our prices. i say, the quality differs (at least i think so :P).
*grr* whatever. what we've committed is still within the budget we set together, so let's just wait. time will tell that our investment is worth it. *bleh*

Haha... I'm a bride-to-be too and can understand what you meant by 'quality' differs. I went round a few bridal shops and more or less settled on Kai Bridal for WG but Dang Bridal for EG. Cant seem to find a shop that does both to my liking. Can you share your experience at Flamingo? I have not checked out the place yet.
About Tan Yoong, his prices are really steep and I feel not entirely worth it unless you give him the go-ahead to just splurge, then he will come up with very unique designs. My fren got me a bridesmaid gown from him, very simple MTM, and already cost SGD1000.
