So we engaged Chantique TBG for our bridal outfit and makeup. I am in love with their makeup and outfit since Day 1 when I started looking for a bridal company. Their outfits are all so gorgeous and it's proven from how they transform a few my friends whom engaged them.
I had the ideal look I wanted. Something different from my pre-wedding photoshoot and I also didn't want a all too natural look. I mean, why look natural on your wedding when I go natural every other day? Furthermore, I had gone for the natural look on my engagement day 2 years ago.
Now of course as a BTB, you tend to get feedbacks from other BTBs (yang macam paham) that the bridal companies they have chosen are better than yours. Seriously, i can't stand those that likes to bring down others, trying to influence others that the choices they make should be the rightful one. Gross.
Who cares, keep your opinion to yourself. That's your wedding, and this is my wedding. I trust my judgement and I had never regretted choosing Chantique TBG :P
Selecting of the outfit (1 month before)
The experience I had in setting the date for outfit selection was not that pleasant. We were informed that after us, they were expecting another appointment and hence, indirectly telling us we have 1 hour to select our outfit. 1 HOUR??!! For my pre-wedding photoshoot, we took 3 HOURS to try on 6 outfit. So how can we select 3 outfit in 1 hour? I was quite unpleased with this arrangement but oh well, let's go with the flow.
Apparently, their way of working is slightly different. We simply have to tell them what kind of look and color that we wanted and Abang Zul brings out the different outfit that he thinks will suits you. I was unsure about this. I mean, what if there are other nicer clothes in the stores and I don't get to see them? *fussy mode*. However, Abang Zul did a great job. And also, we had done our homework well in describing to him the outfits that we so wanted which made it even easier.
Outfit Fitting (2 weeks before)
I have lost so much weight and I was sure that my gowns requires tremendous lots of alteration. Indeed, I was right. And much to my delight, I was assigned Kak Ruby as my MUA. Yes ar! I saw her works on my friend before and I was really happy that I got Kak Ruby (we can't choose the MUA by the way).
Kak Ruby is such a nice person to work with. She was very understanding and has her own principle that her works shows her pride and skills. Hence, she will make sure you look beautiful since it will reflect back on her. My gowns went for alteration twice and she did not even complain. Also, I was quite particular of my hairdo as I know I have little hair and she was so nice in trying to accomodate to all my request :)
Nikah (Solemnization)
I love this look so much! I love my hair extension too! Haha. I really think I look different and I love my outfit very much. Kak Ruby spent 3 hours doing my makeup and styling my outfit and the results turned out well!
Sanding (Wedding Ceremony)
We go PURPLE for our sanding and I had chosen white for my western gown. Why White again, many asked? Well, as I have mentioned, it's my wedding. I choose the colors I want and it's every girl's dream to dress in white wedding gown in front of others :p anyway, other colors don't look too good on me I think.
There was a slight hiccup during the wedding as my side had delivered the groom's outfit to my husband side late. I was so worried but thankful Kak Ruby was with me, assuring that everything will go smoothly as long as we have faith in Him. True enough, I had the perfect wedding. Now, perfect at least in my eyes :)
We received lots of compliments on our outfit and makeup from friends and relatives. Nothing could describe how much I like Chantique TBG in making it a memorable wedding for us.
