Bridal Closet Singapore

Image
By Xuan-er
I was a little more adventurous when I started my bridal gown hunting. Trinity bride, myself of course strike off  Digio Bridal since Solitaire Bride was a bride there. I don't want our wedding albums to look so much alike. I wanted to look out of the Tanjong Pagar stretch in the hope that the bridal boutiques may offer something different. 

My first appointment was with Bridal Closet, a little bridal shop somewhere near Eunos. No one would think that in the quiet neighbourhood, there would have a bridal shop with a pretty extensive bridal collection which gets updated every 2-3 months. As quoted from their friendly sales staff that their pricing is very much lowered compared to the Tanjong Pagar shops is due to their lower rent and hence they can pass on the savings to their customers. 

Unlike most bridal shops, Bridal Closet welcomes customers to take photos of their gowns which I think it is actually a free form of advertisement since they may potentially be uploaded and shared via their facebooks or blogs. It could also be likely that their gowns may not be designed in house but bought from overseas vendors so customers are free to take photos of the gowns they tried. 

Business was pretty brisk on that particular Sunday morning I went, most of their customers were actually brides who had take wedding photos overseas and wanted a cheaper alternative for their wedding dress in Singapore for their actual wedding day since their cheapest wedding day package start at S$388.
Wedding dress 1

This was one of the most popular dress designs when I was trying it on. In the span of 2.5 hours I was there about 4 brides tried this dress on. The wedding dress looked very princessy and romantic and was of better quality compared to the ones I tried later on. 
Wedding dress 2 

Similar design to wedding dress one but with a heart shaped bustier and more embellishments on the dress to create a 3D effect. 
Wedding Dress 3

My preferred choice was toga style but most of the designs available was bustier/tube design. This was the only toga style they had on that day but I did not like it as it was too flashy in my opinion. But now, I realise that most of their dresses were all tied back so that it could fit more brides of various body shapes and sizes. 
Wedding dress 4

If you want something simple, they have it too. This would be ideal for brides out on a photoshoot in a outdoor locations. I asked if they have this design in their evening gown selection but they don't. I think the long flowy tail would be nice on photo. 

Wedding dress 5

This belong to the premium gown category where the top up could be between S$300 - S$500 as these gowns are of better quality material, better workmanship and newer designs. These gowns are only available for use in hotel/churches and not for outdoor location photoshoot. Wedding dress 5 needed a S$500 top up and the skirt was actually made up of 3D flowers but it was really heavy. I think this dress could create a WOW effect during a long march in. 

Wedding dress 6

This was also a S$500 top up wedding dress made of French lace. I thought the A-lined design paired with the lace was a classic and simple dress. It was my favorite amongst all that I had tried 

Evening dress 1

Their evening dress collection was not as extensive as compared to their wedding dress collection. I only managed to catch an eye on 2 of their dresses (actually I was tired from trying out the heavy wedding dresses) 
Evening dress 2.

Overall, I had an enjoyable session at the Bridal Closet. Their package was economical but you have to top up if you want better dresses on your wedding dress. Their staff were friendly and helpful, they did not even say no to even after I tried on so many dresses when I have not decided if I want to sign on a package with them. I did not sign up with them eventually as the photographer's style was not what I liked (at that point in time, they might have changed their partner photographer) and if I had to find another photographer on my own, the total cost would be out of my budget. Factoring in that most of the gowns that I like needed to top up, that could add up to a cost close a simple all in package from the Tanjong Pagar Bridal shops.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

By
I wanted to get weeks about it  I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function.  I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp.  Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven.  Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

By
I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went).  I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the  Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

By
I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically.  By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
