| Review 1 | “TGW has an extensive selection of gowns to choose from, with their packages to be reasonably priced and clear with no hidden cost. Their biggest value to a couple would be their service. Diana, our consultant, had been amazing since the first appointment. Her obvious sincerity and passion made our entire experience with TGW perfect. With all the assistance and advice Diana gave on finding the right gown for the wife, it was pretty much stress free for us.” |
| Review 2 | “Great location. Amazing knowledge of body shape to match the gowns. No hidden cost & transparent pricing. Beautiful gowns selection without looking too old or used. They are well-cleaned and maintained. I love that I can always get to rechoose the gowns after every quarter new collection issued. The process of trying gowns is smooth! There will always be 1-2 person serving you helping you in and out of the gowns. Most imptly, they allow you to try any pieces which many studio don’t.” |

“I came across LiilooDesigns online while searching to custom make my wedding dress. I was very impressed with how professional their website was done up and also how prompt Emily responded to my email inquiry. Emily turned out to be very a experienced and professional seamstress/designer. She knew what I wanted and would also offer valuable suggestions and advice along the way. It was a delight working with Emily because she is such a genuine character and was even as excited about my wedding as I was! The end product was as gorgeous as I expected it to be and I had a blast on my wedding night so much so that I ended up ripping parts of my dress! Emily was such a sweetheart that she offered to mend my dress for free (with some of my leftover materials she saved)! Excellent service with quality and a personal touch – I definitely highly recommend LiilooDesigns for custom made dresses.”

“Emily made my husband’s suit and my gown for our 20th wedding anniversary celebration in Jan 2020. It’s my first time engaging her and I must say that we are very happy and satisfied with our clothing. She is very professional, attentive and has good workmanship. Mostly importantly she delivers on time with very reasonable charges. We will definite engaged her service again. Thank you Emily!”

I found the perfect dress (among many that I liked) and found the fitting process to be smooth. Thanks Freida Brides team – I couldn’t have been happier with my dress and the way it looked and felt on the day!” |
| Review 2 | “Frieda bride was the 2nd bridal shop I visited when I was searching for my dress and the moment I stepped in and had a glance, I knew they have what I wanted. They have a huge selection of different designers for boho vintage, non contemporary bridal gowns. Nat was really helpful in helping me to try on the dresses and giving me advice.

Ivy and Shirleen patiently answered all our never ending questions, never complained when we could not make up my mind on all the gorgeous gowns they had and even allowed us to try as many gowns as we could till we found the right gown. Can really feel that they want you to have the perfect gown on your special day. Thank you Ivy and Shirleen!! Thumbs up to Dream Wedding Boutique!!

| Review 1 | “Had an awesome experience with Vienna! She was very kind and patient with my multiple requests. The gowns from her are beautiful and unique. I can hardly find anyone else with the similar look for my bohemian wedding dress that is glamorous as well with a long train. My stardust evening gown was so memorable! My guests love it too!” |
| Review 2 | “As I wanted a customised waist design for my gown, Vienna had to source for various laces and crystals so I could choose. Vienna was very patient during this whole process, and even had to re-do another waist design for me within a short time, as the original lace design I chose didn’t turn out as I had imagined when being arranged around the dress. Highly recommended!” |

Being at the shop, they saw us as people and were open with their services and prices treating us as friends instead of customers. Working with them has been a wonderful experience. Their photographers are skillful and charismatic. Liwen was a joy to work with going the extra mile to ensure our inquiries were answered quickly. Never a moment was there a doubt in my mine they would get the job done wonderfully and professionally. Sadly I will not be married a second time but I highly recommend Luna if you are looking for a bridal boutique.” |

| Review 2 | “When we went to vivian, we only had 3 months left till the wedding day. Our original intention was to get an off the rack dress, but it was not easy due to my size. We decided to go for her bespoke service. As we showed her the variety of designs i liked on pinterest, vivian was patiently explaining what would work and what would would look good. Also how the bespoke service would work. Despite the tight deadline, vivian was able to source for the closest possible lace design i wanted according to my image. Having a little one growing in my belly, vivian was thoughtful enough to create allowances even though it meant that she also had leave the size alterations to the very last minute to ensure i could fit into my gown snugly. Despite the co-vid situation , vivian was still able to meet my deadline and delivered the a light a beautifully designed dress as per what i requested ❤️ would definitely recommend her services:)” |

Purchasing versus renting a wedding dress in Singapore
Wedding dresses can be fairly expensive depending on the type of dress, material, or even the dress’ designer. It is fairly common for Singaporean brides to rent wedding dresses given the hefty price tag.
However, some brides believe in buying their own wedding dress as it allows for customisation and provides them with sentimental value.
If you are undecided as to whether you should purchase or rent your wedding dress, perhaps ask yourself these questions before making a decision.
What are the costs involved?
Buying a wedding gown can be an expensive affair. While a ready-to-wear wedding dress can be fairly affordable, starting as low as $1,000 onwards, bespoke wedding dresses can start at $2,000 and even go up to $4,000.
Renting a wedding dress, on the other hand, is a more affordable and common option that most Singaporean brides take up. Rental rates for a wedding dress can start as low as $600 depending on the bridal studio.
Can I customise it?
There might be times whereby you come across that almost perfect wedding dress and it just needs a little bit of customisation for it to be perfect. If you decided on buying a wedding dress, chances are you have more flexibility in terms of customisation.
However, if you opted to rent a wedding dress, you might not be able to customise the wedding dress to your liking. While the seamstress may be able to adjust certain aspects of the dress such as the waistline or the dress’ hem, you may not be able to request for a sash to be sewn on for instance.
Will there be other opportunities to wear it?
Purchasing a wedding dress is definitely a hefty investment. Think about whether there will be other opportunities for you to wear your wedding dress, for instance during a formal evening dinner party or wedding anniversary.
If you are quite certain that you will only wear your wedding dress once in your lifetime, it might be worthwhile to simply rent a wedding dress.
Pick your perfect wedding dress with these tips
As a first-time bride, you may be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding on your ideal wedding dress. After all, wedding dresses come in all types of designs and colours.
If you are torn between choosing from the wide variety of wedding dresses, here are some tips to help you pick out your perfect wedding dress for your big day.
Choose a design and colour based on your body shape and skin tone
Bridal studios typically have an extensive range of wedding dresses that comes in various designs and colours. When selecting a few wedding dresses to try on, keep in mind the design that best suits your body shape – be it a ball gown, a-line, or mermaid. After all, you will want a flattering wedding dress to look your best on your big day!
If you are unsure which wedding dress silhouettes best suits your body shape, seek recommendations from the wedding stylist. They are likely to have more experience and will definitely be able to recommend appropriate wedding dress silhouettes based on your body shape.
Similarly, decide on the colour of your wedding dress based on your wedding theme and be flexible about your colour choices. Traditionally, wedding dresses come in white as it is considered to be a colour of perfection. However, brides these days are more daring and bold, stepping out in wedding dresses that come in flamboyant colours such as red, blue and even black!
Have a budget in mind
Regardless of whether you decide to rent or buy your wedding dress, have a budget in mind so that you do not overspend. Prices of wedding dresses are highly dependent on several factors, such as the type of dress, design, material used, and even the designer of the dress.
If you have a particular type of dress in mind or prefer to choose wedding dresses designed by a particular designer, do some online research to understand the price range.
Decide on the number of wedding dresses you want
In Singapore, it is fairly common for brides to have two wedding dresses, one for the solemnisation event and another for the lunch or dinner reception. However, some brides also opt to have only one wedding dress to avoid the hassle of having to change out of multiple dresses.
Decide on the number of wedding dresses you want to have so that your stylist can pick appropriate dresses for you. It would also be good to decide whether you want both dresses to be in the same design or colour, or perhaps have two wedding dresses of varying designs.
Preparing for your first wedding dress fitting
Once you have decided on your perfect wedding dress, the next important step is to make sure that it fits perfectly!
During your very first visit, your stylist would have already taken the necessary measurements in order to alter the wedding dress based on your body shape and requirements. They will then request that you come back after a week or two for your first wedding dress fitting.
This will no doubt be a highly anticipated moment for most brides as it is when a bride falls in love with their gown all over again! Here are some helpful tips to help you get ready for your first wedding dress fitting.
Go prepared
The first wedding dress fitting is usually when the dress is already tailored to your shape and height. This means that the hemline is set and the bodice is nicely fitted to your body measurements. Hence, it is crucial to ensure that you are wearing the exact undergarments you intend to wear on your wedding day as well as your shoes. This will help provide a more accurate big picture of your look on your wedding day.
Timing is everything!
As wedding dress alterations take time, it is imperative to schedule your wedding dress fitting several weeks before your big day. This timeframe will allow you to return for subsequent fittings after your first wedding dress fitting and create sufficient time for your stylist to make any further alterations.
Invite your bridesmaids
The fun part about your first wedding dress fitting is having your bridesmaids over to help out! Not only does this help make your pre-wedding experience more special, your bridesmaids can also help you to examine how the wedding dress should fit you.
It would also be a good idea to have your maid-of-honour to come along for subsequent fittings or final dress fitting so that she can learn how to help you get ready in your wedding dress.
