On schedule today was a last minute arrangement to go meet up with Annah of Allure Charix. With a proposed theme of "Disco', the laziness to repeatedly change 2 or 3 gowns during the AD and personally not liking many of the typical evening gowns found in the wedding studios which is hard to coincide with the theme, MTM came to mind.
Who says an evening gown must be big, bulky, shiny & bright colored?
It can be just my more ATAS looking "club" dress (& more ATAS "costing")
well, budgeting the whole cost is still an issue. But, anyway, we will just start off scouting for "everything the we want" (or maybe just what "I" want), then budget away the splurge from there.
92, Amoy Street
Alight Tanjong Pagar MRT, Exit G
Walking alone, with the passing office crowd rushing home.
Amoy Street. Classic. Lots of Food.
I was half an hour earlier than my stipulated appointment time and thus looked around for either a nice cafe or a potential scouting spot. I found: The Silhouette.
I went in to check on their pricing. The place looks very spacious, clean, classy look with super big mirrors. I haven done much research on them except that currently the website is still under revamp & they do tie-ups with Grand Copthorne Waterfront.
Spoke to Rebecca, the designer. Very cute & cheery person. Here's the package:
$4980 Nett.
Comprising of ..... in short, everything a bridal studio package offers except without the photography sessions. Not exactly what I looked for but I heard something different from a bridal studio.
No matter how far your AD is, once you are set on a particular wedding gown, all alterations to the design like adding beads or stuff is free and also that they do not share gowns between brides... which means once you pick which one you want they would not let another bride touch it until after your AD and you return it....
I wonder.... how true. But interesting thing to say though hard to even verify. LOL.
Finally @ Allure
When I reached the place, there was another bride doing a fitting. Instead of swinging her attention between 2 person which some people do so, Annah did a quick "Hi" thingy & left me sitting there reading magazines which she concentrated on her service.
During our discussion, she was initially puzzled about the kind of idea that I want to bring across. With the theme "Disco' and a few trying of gowns, she suggested a very rough 2 piece gown design which is abit similar to the gown below by Monique Lhuillier Spring 2010 collection.
Warm lady with 17 years of experience in this line. Pretty good comments by some in forums seen. Given a rough quotation of $1,800 for the gown to keep. Pricey anot? To be evaluated.
