    "Also, how much did you pay? The price they quoted me for 14 hour wedding day package (not including pre-wedding) is more than $5K including album, make up, and wedding gown etc., but someone in another LYK thread said it only costs $1,500 for 14 hours with two photographer.  I wonder why the difference is so big."

$1500 for 14 hours I think is for photography ONLY (maybe with some DVD plus a few prints)...but no album, no wedding gown, no make up.

    Album could be expensive la... In some places, renting wedding gown could be $300 up. Makeup on its own could be $300 or up as well....

And yeah...congrats!

    Of course in the perfect world, I want (as the bride) everything to be PERFECT and THE BEST! It's "once a life time" thing. But in reality, with limited resources, I have to compromise. I guess, just what you like to prioritize? If say out of all the wedding items, you value pictures the most, then you splurge on pictures and lower the budget on something else (say honeymoon, or use home brew wine instead of getting from wine store) etc..Or ask friend to take video instead of hiring someone....etc etc...

that's how I see it....

    I do think you can have a decent pre-wedding pictures in $5K done locally with album, big picture frame, signing mat, and thank you card etc.... And then say another 2K for wedding day pictures. And the pre-wedding package usually comes with wedding gown for your wedding day as well. So I do think 7K you can have pictures if done seperately. Plus $500 wedding gown rental, and perhaps $500 wedding day makeup. Just another option for you la.

    Yeah...material is important....so as CUTTING! IMO....it's easy to copy the style but cutting is harder to "copy" and it could make big difference. So I would prefer buy the one already made. I did order clothing (not wedding gown though) from Canton and even I said exactly that style, I don't feel like that when I got the final product. Maybe I'm just bad luck...anyway, just my 0.02 cents la...
