Question #2: What is the difference between your Bridal and Non-Bridal service?
The main difference between bridal and non-bridal is the level of service rendered.
Bridal service is akin to our VIP service.
Under Bridal/ VIP, our head designer will personally oversee the creation of your dream from the seeds of ideas to fruition. She dedicates more time from conceptualizing the dress to fittings to priority in our production calendar.
Our Bridal/VIP is exclusively produced by our team A or our couture team. Non-bridal on the other hand is divided between our team B and trainees etc.
Under Bridal/ VIP we allocate until 3 sketches and 2 revisions. Under non-bridal, we allocate 1 sketch with additional revisions charged extra.
With higher cost also comes more access to more luxe textiles that we can use hence we can be more creative in exploring textures.
Under Bridal/VIP we allocate 3 fittings + 2 consultation meetings. Under non bridal it's 1 consultation meeting +1 fitting.
Under bridal/ VIP dry clean is free, and basic bridal accouterments like plain veil are free.
