Recommendations

For friends who are getting married soon, below is a list of vendors whom I worked with for my wedding and personal comments on them.

Bridal boutique: Divine Couture

Comments: Divine has a certain style to their designs and the designers (Jessica and Kym) are inclined towards a dreamy and romantic style. They are known for their low back designs, and the use of organza and tulle. One thing that distinguishes such bridal boutiques to those along Tanjong Pagar is that they're not pushy sellers and their prices are fixed. Besides loving their gown designs, we also felt comfortable with Jessica. We took up their promotional package during their bridal show. So for more favourable pricing, one should wait out for their bridal show.

Pre-wedding shoot: Eugene Goh from Chris Ling

Comments: Initially we didn't want to spend too much on our pre-wedding shoot, so we decided to get one that is tied to Divine Couture. Eugene is one of them and from his portfolio, we quite like his style. Although it might not be the best we have seen so far, but for his price, his works are still within our acceptable level. Nonetheless, during our photo selection, we were kind of 'psycho-ed' into topping up. Being easy buyers, we didn't put up much resistance. So we ended up paying much higher.

Florist: Fleurlicious

Comments: We are not particular about flowers and we are lucky to get Fleurlicious as Justin happens to be a friend's cousin. We have seen his works before and we feel that we can trust him to do a good job. From our meetings, he demonstrated his professionalism and we felt completely at ease to entrust him with our floral arrangements. He is also one who is truthful and upfront about things and is not known to sugar coat his words just to get your business.

Make-up artist: Joanne

Comments: A few of my friends have engaged her for their weddings and I have personally seen how great a make-up artist she is. She is the first person to come to my mind when my turn came. As expected, she didn't disappoint me. Similarly, I would also recommend her to others.

Actual day photography and videography: The Peepshow Machine

Comments: So far, the best vendor I have worked with. Although I have only seen some of the pictures and the express highlights, I am already quite satisfied with Lawrence. Most importantly, it is the actual day experience that counts. For photographers, it is critical to have one who is easy to work with and is able to accommodate to requests. Great experience and good job done by Lawrence!

Certainly, we have to thank them as well for their professional help and advice.
