Just about 3 months ish before our actual wedding day and we were scheduled to chose the actual day wedding gowns on 25 May 2013!! I'm a fan of pinterest, so thru my causal browsing in the wedding section I have pinned a couple of gowns for reference already. =)
I did not have much expectation when I arrived at the bridal studio, mainly because my mind is still blank from my overseas trip to Bangkok and I just arrived in Singapore the day before. *Luckily, I slimmed down instead of putting on weight!*
Our consultant seems to have an idea of what we wanted after some causal talking. *idea was something different from the usual usual* and she asks us to go thru TONS of photos so that if we saw something we liked, she can let me try it too! She was super awesome, letting me try ALOT of gowns (even though some was not within our package price amount, but just try try first). She was very excited about the whole thing and kept saying I must wear something that showed my figure. hahahaha.
So in the end I tried mermaid, A line, asymmetric gowns and gowns in different colours! *Tip: it will be good to be as open as possible, something when you see it might not be nice but you will know only when you try it! and try as many different designs as possible so you know which one you like or suits you* Personally, I was not a fan of mermaid dresses, especially white mermaid dresses. I think I looked quite old in it. >.< because our consultant let us try all the different, interesting design first, when we tried the usual usual ones, it doesn't seem special anymore and our consultant also knew it. After a while, she commented that we don't have to try other stuff anymore because we tried all the "weird weird" ones already and would not like those normal de.. hahahaha.. she is cute isn't she~
I was abit disappointed with the fact that they did not have one gown that I saw in pinterest. But no matter, I still managed to pick two gowns for the night. *I did not pick any evening gowns though, main reasons was they seem normal (if I could buy it, I'll buy it to attend weddings instead) or they make me look old. hahahaha* Our consultant seems very satisfied with our choices too. She said I look best on those. hehe. *we had to top up abit for one of the design, cause it was considered as the premium version, but I guess it's worth it! (you will be able to see from the pictures after our wedding!)*
For the kua, they basically just had two designs, the dragon or phoenix. I tried a toga kua first which was awesome! hahaha.. looks super nice and different. I also tried a cheongsum kind of "kua", but as the toga kua was too nice already so this pales in comparison. As for the normal kua, it looks decent. hehe.. after having some discussion with my sister, we decided on the normal kua. *she claims that the toga kua make me look like a ge tai singer and old~ and the normal kua makes me look very young and super nicesh* haha.. but anyway, it is a once in a life time thing to wear a normal kua. so I was fine with it. *don't need to top up additional $$ too, hehe*
So we decided on the day for final fitting and collection of gowns etc.. *so many things to be concerned about just before the wedding, how to concentrate on work.. (sighs)*
Overall experience: I had a great time trying the gowns at My Dream Wedding, many thanks to our consultant! =)

Another 6 hours spent in the bridal studio! When choosing gowns and suits, the main focus is on the bride as what the groom wears is to compliment the bride's gown. As such, my selection is done only after Pat's. As what Pat mentioned, we started with the more exquisite gowns followed by the traditional gowns. There were other considerations besides the design, such as ease of walking or if it look nice on photo and eventually Pat made her choice.
One important thing to note for those engaging the service of My Dream Wedding is that once the choices for the actual day gown has been made, you will actually acknowledge on paper and there will be no changes. Well you can but a fee must be made so for those who have not choose their actual day gown with My Dream Wedding, please take note!
