BV Vs TWP

Who should I choose? BV or TWP? Both are equally nice. BV is well know for its simple & elegant gown that fits into the bride's body like a glove. They let me tried two of their gowns - and both of them make me look so slim & tall, plus they are not yet cut to fit my body. They have my favourite big bow and long train, and their use of swarovski crystal are tastefully done.

I think they are not into lace (one of my favourite too) after I spoke to Cedic, he started a whole conversation about how lace will sometime make one old, etc. Their simplicity wedding package cost at $3,980 but I know they sure have alot of hidden top-ups which I yet go into details with them:

• Wedding Gown (MTM)
• Evening Gown (MTM)
• One pair of wedding gown gloves
• Two set of veils & hair accessories
• Two sets of jewelleris - crystallized by swarovski
• Bridal make-up & hair styling trial, wedding day & night
• Man suit & dress shirt (MTM)
• Bridal bouquet for wedding day inclusive head flowers, corsages for groom & parents
• Wedding car decoration inclusive ribbons for two bridesmaids' car
• Complimentary off the rack cocktail dress, bridesmaid dress, kua or man's suit.

The other BS I looking at is TWP. It has the lace & long train that I love. I tried on them and I thought it will make me look old but they are rather sexy. Half translucent, see though lace. Nice!~~~ and sexy!~!~!


But their wedding package is slightly more expensive than BV that cost at $4,399. And that's not the end of the cost. If you want satin it will cost an additional $1k, if I want lace and depend on the type of lace it will cost an additional <$800 additional , etc. The cost just goes on and on.... and that makes me abit worried. Compared to BV at least I know I will still get a simple gown (that's their strength) with the cost that they are offering.

Well there is still time to look around and we are looking at one more which is FB. I think we shall keep to these three as too many will make me confuse. Already by looking at the bridal magazines already make me very confused and overwhelmed.

I was abit disappointed on that day also because Sj last min could not make it to the 1st appointment. Wish he was there with me so that he can give comments on which BS's gown is better. But I'm happy that Unice can accompany me despite that she has to prepare her examination. Unice's friend also tag along to see the gowns. She is also getting married and she has the most weird & strict wedding tradition:

• Her MIL is very conservative so don't allow her to wear revealing gowns.
• She has to have 12 tea cups during the tea ceremony as she said cannot wash the cups
• She has to wear her wedding ring on the middle finger.

And those are the few things I find it ridiculous and funny about. But well no choice, sometime getting married is not just the two of us. It also has to please the parents, etc. Count ourselves lucky that both our parents have no ideas of the tradition. So we are all keeping everything simple and sweet. Morning come SJ will come to my house to fetch me to the hotel, we will do our ROM, follow-by tea ceremony and finally a luncheon reception for the rest of the guests. For the rest of the day, we can rest. I cannot imagine having to have a whole day affair from morning to night wearing my gown. The gown is rather heavy!~~~!~It will kill me to wear that the whole day and plus the killer heel. I was about to think maybe I can wear slipper underneath the gown instead of the heel. wahhaha. Anyway, it has been a fun gown hunting with unice and friend, and hope I can arrange another time with SJ again to confirm the BS.
