Flashbacks
Time goes by so fast, and suddenly we have been married for 2 years. Still bear in mind the wedding day and the hectic preparation at the moments.
What I really bear in mind during that day is the preparation, and it comes up to my mind that there is nothing too lose if I make up some review about how I felt at those moments. So here we go, just like others who review their wedding vendor just after the time, I also want to concern about the “Wedding Vendor Review” ……….hehehe telat yak………better late than never……J
We only had few vendors to prepare our wedding, because many wedding package which we picked served wedding package to make us easier arranging the day……..it was the main purpose, but the fact was……….tetep aja ribet deh……..
a. Eva Bun Bridal
Location : Harmoni and Mall Artha Gading
Products :
1. the wedding gown and make up
As many other `brides to be`, we also visited some of wedding fairs, which hopefully we could have special offer during the fair and easily compare among one vendor to another.
We picked this bridal at one wedding fair held in Hailai, Ancol.
Actually this was not `my dream bridal` at the moment, what in my mind about this bridal was Eva Bun = old fashion style, and `kayak ibu2 banget deh`, furthermore compared to other new style bridal such as New Brides, JJ Bride, or else……..ooohhh I love them. But si koko kept convincing me that with their experiences handling many wedding for many years, we could count on them……..yeah…..
Anyway, since I did not have any interest to this vendor, ….i made many and even more extra bonus than they offered, yeah….just like other vendors who used to impress the customer, they tried to impress us, me with more and more other package that we could get by choosing them. Moreover, the first wedding fair day was so calm, and only visited by few customers. Thanks to other wedding fairs who also held at other place, such as Jakarta Fair wedding fair……..
And I `aji mumpung banget.com` kept asking more and more………..
We spared some time in the car once after we got some offering from other bridals, such as New Brides, JJ Bride, that all I remember, and came back to the fair with `one decision`……..yes we picked Eva Bun Bridal as our bridal………and still with many wishes………..i wished they could dress me with modern gown that I could have every woman wedding dress………..©and wish I could have every woman wedding dream………
From the standard package which they offered the first time, we could have almost doubled than before:
#GOWN AND DRESS#
For the bride :
One wedding dress on `D` day (Nov 1st;2008)
One wedding dress for the Holy Matrimony (Oct 4th, 2008) à additional
Two wedding dress for Pre-wed photo session pictures, one for in-door session and one for out-door session
One folk dress for Pre wed in door photo session
For the groom :
1 million (plus additional 0.5M) voucher for the Blazer; our choice came to Grisvian Hewis since they have the showroom @ Plangi.
For the mothers of the bride :
Two gown for my mom and mom in law; fiuhh….. although this extra bonus has made some argue as they did not admit it once we came along with our mothers, then also made si koko claimed that I was not carefull watching up this agreement in the beginning. Anyway after some arguing and hustle, we did not pick these gown though, our mothers made up their gown by other tailor, but following our theme color – Gold –
For others : one gown for the bridesmaid, two gowns for the Front door, plus 3 extra gowns for the rest.
In total we got 7 extra dresses for everyone, except for me.
On D day, the gown goes to my mom for `Tea pai session`, my sis, two sis in law, one front door
Thanks to Nuri, our sales agent, who helped me a lot grabbing my bonus J
And also a lot thanks for their staff who were not so bother if I came there almost every week, picking up, choosing, demanding out to achieve my dream wedding gown.
If you see my finally choice, ………it’s so adorable, not to say glamour, but kinda simple elegant `Cinderella look alike princess` dress……….hahahha……….
#MAKE UP SESSION#
As promised at the start, I would have the make up artist by Eva bun herself for the wedding day and holy matrimony too. That’s what I concerned about at the first time, since the holy matrimony took the one day after Lebaran day, wish `she` did not go abroad for holiday.
But in the middle of the stage,…..they said that they could not afford this……..OMG……..
I was so upset and disappointed at the moment………as the compensation, we asked more bargaining to substitute that one; that is 10 more extra Pre wed photo pictures, as stated in my compliance letter.
And they were agreed.
Though, at the holy matrimony day, ms. Paula, the daughter of Eva Bun, was there, and still did my make up. Oh….boy………she was so nice and very much well indeed as the result.
I could have a touch up make at the hotel, as the started, but they said, I could not afford it.
Anyway, since I already got more extra, plus there was the Mercedes Benz which was not used optimally (8-hour-rent for free) as another of their offer, then I agreed it.
The fact is, I arrived at noon at the bridal for touch up make up and ms Paula was still there, and she did the touch up. One of the staff who handled the finishing stated that, `I was so lucky to have the touch up by her`……..jarang2 loh mbak bu Paula mau touch up lagi……..lucky me……J
#WEDDING CAKE BY PAULA CAKE#
Well, I wished I could have high stage cake, not so call – glamour cake- but the price is too expensive, not to say, it was only as accessories, due the original cake has already in packed by pieces, ready to be given; so we deal for simple ordinary cake but…….. I did not know that an ordinary cake would be so nice and perfect, fitted to our theme – again, Gold and a little Reddish.
In the end, we did not count on the taste, as I only ate piece by piece for the photo session.
#FOTOGRAPHY#
Yet, ordinary result, but we could have it on CD besides of cassette à another bonus J
Although not so great, since it mostly contained of the holy matrimony, ……ohhh I wished I could have more time to edit it and have the wedding day event longer………L
#PHOTO ALBUM#
Wow…..so nice ……..if you see it……….so impress and love it so much………
Enough folk for this moment, if I had more time later, and………. More willing to review other vendor, I will continue this story……..
Cheers,
vani
