Before Confirming Your Bridal Studio

Besides knowing the wedding package you would prefer, you would also need to know certain things before signing the contract with the bridal studio. Romance Fire has provided a list of 7 things to know before signing up with the bridal studio. No couple would want to have a frustrating experience with the bridal studio.

1. Sales person is not the same as those coordinators who will eventually serve you.

In the local context, competition has been very stiff especially over the years when more and more bridal studios come into the wedding market. More studios are fighting over the same pie.

2. Do your homework

Ask around from your friends who got married and ask them what to look out for. Discuss with your spouse-to-be what your budget is and what kind of package both of you want. Discuss whatever is to be discussed before entering the wedding show.

Remember the sales staff are trained professionals just to close sales. There won’t be time to discuss when the selling takes place.

Agree to walk off as long as one feels uncomfortable with the sales pitch and walk off together.

3. Ask for customers’ feedback

Don’t ever sign at the wedding exhibition unless you have visted their studios and talked to their customers.

You may only sign on the contract only if you have done your homework.

4. Know what you want for your package.

Do you know what you want for your bridal package?

Do you need the bridal car? Do you need two 15R albums instead of one?

Do you need Made-to-measure gowns or just off the rack?

If you don’t require some items, how could you use them to bargain for other items such as more 15R photos?

5. Control your buying impulse

Humans are impulsive shoppers. We all shop and buy things based on emotions. Even if men are considered logical thinkers, we still buy some items because it makes us feel good.

I remember one friend of mine took up an expensive package which costs about S$6000 and only regretted when she reached home.

6. Make a second visit even if it takes more of your time.

Remember some studios allow you to bring the photocopied sample list home and they will get in touch with you a few days later.

The competition is so stiff that they will never miss out any chance of getting new customers.

7. Treat the sales person like a good old friend

Treat them like a human and be friendly towards them. Ask for their help to give you more freebies. This is only doable when they find that they can clique well with you. Ask to be introduced to the senior staff so that you can know them too.
