What to look out for when choosing a bridal package?
When you choose a bridal package, you need to consider
the package price, design, workmanship, service and
photography style.
Do not choose a package solely on price factor
Choose your package carefully. If not, you may end
up paying more when you are not satisfied with the one
you chose and had to switch to another bridal shop.
Some bridal shop can offer cheaper packages because
cheaper materials are used in making the wedding gown
and suit. Some limit their in-house photographer on
the number of film used when taking photos. Remember
to ask for the price of extra photos before you make
your decision. Some bridal shop charge higher than others
on the extra photos for the album.
Design, Workmanship and Quality
Look at the designs of the gowns, feel the material
and check the workmanship on the gowns. You can do so
by looking at the laces on the gowns, some shops don't
tidy up the laces resulting in poor finishing.
Photography style
There are 2 main photography style, the classical or
the contemporary style. The classical style is otherwise
known as the "Taiwanese" style. The two styles can have
very different results on a couple.
Request to look at customers' photos instead of model
shoot. Some shops employ outside photographers to shoot
their sample portfolio and these photographers most
likely do not take your wedding photos. Some shops have
more than one in-house photographer. If you have identified
a photographer that you like, request for that photographer
to shoot your studio and outdoor photos.
