Thank you for being a part of our most special and beautiful day! From the day we chose you guys to the day my wife and I got married, you all were supporting us all the way, paying attention to our needs and wants and trying your best to make things work for us.
Jane was the first person we met at the boutique and she was so sincere, so friendly, so thoughtful that we immediately felt confident that Malena Bridal would be the partner we want to engage in our wedding preparation journey. The next person we met was Malena and she was so friendly and approachable! She's also the boss of the boutique and we could feel her generosity and sincerity right from the start. She has such a pleasant and friendly smile all the time we saw her. Great host and vendor!
Janice made sure our gowns fit and altered them with such speed and accuracy! She is also very friendly and tried to make us feel comfortable all the time! Lovely lady! She was also the one who spent the most time with us, assisting us with everything we need. We even met her daughter when she visited and I remember saying that they looked so much alike! The atmosphere was one of casualness, familiarity and comfort. Janice is a true worker and she would work such long hours to make sure we got our stuff. Great worker! Thank you so much, Janice. :)
Vincy! Vincy is the lady who makes us look good. She helped us with our makeup on our pre-wedding photoshoot day and she did such a great job! She was also in charge of scheduling and many other tasks and she would do them so fast. She's like the Flash! If she needs to be somewhere at a certain time, she'll be there. No question about it. She's also very sincere and would tell you immediately what you need to know, straight up. Love the little conversations during the makeup sessions. What great fun!
Yuki was our actual day makeup artist and she's a real pro! This lady has skills. She works like a professional and knows what she is doing. My bride and I enjoyed talking to her during the makeup sessions and she was a joy to work with! The sessions were fun, filled with conversations and it felt like some hanging out time with a friend instead of a formal makeup session. Definitely recommend her as a makeup artist!
Jerome! Jerome is a magician. He is also the photographer who helped us on both our pre-wedding photoshoot day and our actual day! He is not just a photographer. He is an artist. He will make you look good and he did make us look so good. Jerome is so dedicated to his job that he would go to great lengths to take that perfect shot. I am so grateful to this man. Thank you Jerome, for everything you've done!
MJ and Burger from K Visual are the other two magicians. They are the videographers who turn the entire wedding into a fairy tale. The video they take are first class stuff! How they are not already making blockbuster movies is beyond me. They are way too good! I lost count of the number of times I marveled at the video they made for us. These are real professionals and really nice people. Good people. Thanks you guys!
It is not everyday that we get to work with such a great and amazing ensemble of talents and professionals with such great personalities. Every one of you are champions.
Thank you Malena, for being such a great partner during our wedding. Snow and I wish you the best of fortunes in the future and hopefully we can keep in touch! I love all of you. <3read more

A BIG THANK YOU to Joyce who made me pretty and gorgeous on my wedding day! Many thanks to Janise for helping me with my gown selection (Super designer inspired and both my Husband and my qua received many praises!) and Malena being so prompt and quick to all our requests! Love how enthusiastic our Photographers were - wee (for our pws) and Jerome (our actual day, thank you for directing all our poses so professionally) and Kenny & Friend (our videographers on AD for keeping our energy level up with his continuous enthusiasm). Just a note to all couples: We didn’t know this before, but it’s really not about the number of locations we can meet. It’s really too tough to cover even just 3 locations with the heavy gown.
I will definitely recommend Malena to any new couples out there!! ;)read more

Done with my wedding on 22nd September 2018. Love love love the makeup by Joyce for my pws & ad. I'm someone who doesn't really make up, but trust Joyce, she will make you love yourself on that day. I received praises the whole day throughout and she is super approachable and knowledgable. You're in good hands if you get her.
Malena doesn't have a wide selection of gowns,but be assured that the white gowns are unique. You wont really see the white gowns in other shops. this is the thing that attracted me. And I'm really glad I found the dress thanks to Janice, I am really glad she made me feel comfortable and not awkward during the gown fitting.
I engaged the PG(pws&ad) & VG from malena too, two thumbs up for their service. Thanks to Wee & K Visual for their service and making my day so special.
special thanks to Wee for the great work on my pws and album. Professionally done. 👍👍read more

Kay & I visited Malena as our first bridal studio after seeing some of their portfolios online. We ended up signing our package with them after agreeing on what is a very reasonable price for all that's worth. We don't have much expectations but Malena certainly made the experience very seamless for us. Not to mention, they have really nice and unique gowns. My wife received much compliments for her gowns and we are also very happy with the photos and videos taken by their in house photogs and videographers. Thank you Janice and Joyce for your help! You have been accomodating and immaculate in your work! I will not hesitate to introduce Malena to my friends :)read more

I am married for less than a week but yet feels the urge to drop this review.
I chose Malena in 2016 because it was love at first sight with their gown and Joyce's skills. I am utterly impressed when I went for my gown selection and trial make up. Everyone whom attended to me was patient and helpful and able to give me ideas that helped along the way. On the wedding day, Joyce did an amazing job for my AD make up and for changing my gowns. She had also volunteered to do my MIL's hair! Joyce is extremely patient and talented, I loved how the make up turned out and my guests loved it too! She's able to accentuate the features and made it more prominent. I'm extremely particular with my MUA and she had far exceeded that expectation! She shared many tips with me as well. I went to our After party with the same hairdo and make up, came back staring at the mirror refusing to remove my make up haha! My husband and I are thankful and blessed with this team of professionals whom made us looked the best on our special day! Thank you so much!!!! 💗read more

Love my MUA Joyce! Highly recommend her as your MUA! I do not have any specific requests for my hairdo and makeup and leave it all to her, but she surprised me and my fiance by her suggestions and ideas. Her magic hands on my hair during my PWS and AD wowed both of us! I also received many compliments about my hair and makeup on AD! Thank you so much Joyce for making me so pretty on my AD! Also loved their modern Kua which I fell in love at first sight and the main reason why I signed with them, also received many praises from relatives on AD too :)read more

While being a boutique with a smaller selection of gowns compared to other bridal shops, Malena bridal had very unique gowns of very high quality - you don't just get run of the mill designs that you see in other shops. Everyone who helped out during my experience with them. Stella, Janice, and Joyce were accommodating and patient, they listened to what I was looking for and helped me achieve what I was looking for. I don't give reviews often, but I think Malena bridal deserves one. Thank you Janice and Joyce, for helping me find my ideal gown and creating my wedding look, and for making the entire process so fuss-free. Of course, I'm grateful to Malena for her beautiful and classy designs, they are truly one of a kind!read more

I owe Malena Bridal a long overdue review, as my wedding was on 1 July 2017.
Thanks to my friend Sharon who introduced me to Malena Bridal. It was love at first sight on the evening gown. Yes, not the bridal gown first.. haha..
Although they don't have a wide variety but every piece was exquisite, unique, honestly I was spoiled for choices for the bridal gown (as I locked my eyes on my evening gown). I was impressed that they allow me to try as many gowns as I like, unlike many out there who will only allow you to try upon signing their package. The service was impeccable and Malena & Sally were really patience in helping me to find the perfect gown. They have eyes for details, and really sharp in knowing what I was looking for.
I am really thankful that they are very understanding despite me not engaging them for photography due to my budget concern (2 weddings to organize).
But the decision to choose Malena Bridal for my actual day gowns is the best decision throughout the wedding planning. I must admit I am a perfectionist and I always dreamed of being a princess on my wedding day, Malena & Sally made my dream came true.
Coming from service line, I have high level of demand in terms of service. There were some little hiccups during makeup trials but what is most important is how a service professional takes the feedback seriously and turn the whole experience into a memorable one. And that was exactly what Malena & Sally did. I am very impressed on how they assured me that everything will be alright on the actual day, and they put in tremendous effort in rescheduling the trial despite that period being a very popular period for weddings. They tirelessly ensure that i am satisfied and happy with the result before I leave the bridal house. I really thank both of them for their dedication and patience.
Your passion, impeccable service level and dedication made you stand out from the rest.
Thank you once again for creating a wonderful memory for lifetime to me and Elisha.read more

I’m thankful to Joyce, my MAU, for being patient, kind and creative. Joyce has a flair for creating both natural and glammed up styles - I love all the makeup and hairdo for both my PWS and AD. Our PWS also received quite a few compliments from our guests for being stylish:)read more

LOVE THE EXCELLENT PROFESSIONALISM from Malena Bridal! Shout out to JOYCE, WEE, LEONG, KENNY, VINCCI, SALLY, MALENA and the seamstress for helping me out along the way!
Big big thank you to Joyce and Wee! Thank you for making this awkward turtle comfortable in awkward scenarios! :) Because of you guys, i was confident! Really appreciate the guidance and patience you have for both Soon Wee and I! So professional and responsible with their work even though they are both dead tired because of the crowd and the tight timing on the pre-wed and especially on the actual day!
To Leong&Kenny! Great, awesome and amazing job on the video! I had many many, tons of great feedback saying it was really touching! Thank you for the handwork and amazing visualising skills!
To Malena Bridal, your gowns are amazing as mentioned in so many reviews previously! Great gowns, great shop house, great team you have there! Cheers, to more busy months for you guys!
PS: We are so glad, it was the best decision to leave our signatures on your bridal agreements! :Dread more

This is a long overdue review, was waiting for my photos to be ready before uploading a review, and then as usual, I forgot to do it! Anyway, I highly recommend Malena Bridal, we had a really good experience with them. Malena, Joyce, and Zoey were very professional and experienced. It helped that Malena and Joyce were dancers as well as they could give us advice on the gowns that will be suitable for our dance (we had a mini dance performance for our guests).
They were really nice and allowed me to try on some gowns before deciding to engage them. This was very different from other bridal studios that I have been to as most of the others require you to sign before trying on, which to me doesn't make sense, what if you signed and paid but in the end don't fancy any of the gowns? They were also very professional in the sense that they allow you to give your feedback and feelings on the gowns you've tried and not try to push you to get gowns that you may not like.
I had all my make up done by Malena Bridal, and had their gowns for my actual day. I had my own gowns for my pre-wedding shoot and solemnisation but they were ok with that and did their best to help me look good in everything! I was very happy with the make-up and gown selection, really great quality! Will be attaching some of my photos in the comments :) I also engaged my own photographer and they worked well with each other.
Thank you Malena, Joyce, and Zoey for everything!!read more

Exactly one year ago, my husband and I engaged Malena and got the full package from them. Honestly, we did not expect much from this as we have been hearing quite a lot of negative feedbacks from engaging bridal services but alas, we were too lazy to source for individual suppliers. On the side note, it was their beautiful wedding gowns that attracted me! (;
To our surprise, working with Malena Bridal was way beyond our expectations. Though there were some hiccups during our gown selections, but Sally and Joyce were really patient with us. They are indeed very professional. We received many compliments on our pre wedding photos and the morning highlights- kudos to Wee & his team too (photo/videographer)!!
Not forgetting my MUA, Joyce. She was there during my gown selection too. Her outmost sincerity and patience really touched both Billy and my heart. A lovely genuine lady who was professional, responsive and always made ideal suggestions to the fickle mindle bride aka me. Haha. I can’t thank you enough because your magic hands gave me the most glamorous yet light and fresh look during my wedding day!
Now, I can’t wait to see my actual day photos! Xoxo
Thank you so much, Malena Bridal.read more

Malena Bridal met our high expectations for their Creatives- their strongest asset is their excellent creative & production team which made my husband and I sign up with them during our 1st visit at their open house. Though the services we engaged are priced on the higher side, we felt that the amount we paid for was worth it for their excellent fashion photography-styled photoshoot with Micky. He made us laugh throughout, and gave us instructions & directions that were easy to follow. Zoey, the make-up artist took pride in her work, and never allowed me to look less-than-perfect. I loved the gowns I selected too, and even the Qi Pao looks fashion-forward & modern!
To be objective, there were a few miscommunication and minor hiccups that caused a bit of stress as I was an anxious bride, and my husband and I have very high expectations for our big day; but Sally the co-founder of Malena Bridal was a quick problem-solver for all of them, and always served us with sincerity & pride.
Malena Bridal, you exceeded our expectations and though your team is small you are a mighty talented team. We are glad that our big day was a success and everyone praised us for our pre-wed shots, same-day video edit and the gowns! Thanks so much for serving us and making my dream wedding events come alive! Thumbs up!!read more

Exactly one year ago when I sat down at Malena Bridal’s booth at BOWS. Was attracted by their unique gowns & photoshoots. Did not sign a package with them on the day as I did not want to make impulse decision and decided to shop around first. One week later I still couldn’t get my mind off them. I went down to their boutique which was perfectly located just 3 min walk away from Thomson Plaza. I love how exclusive and quiet the boutique is like.
11 months of journey with Malena Bridal until my actual day wedding was a smooth one. Their one stop bridal boutique save me a lot of coordination so I can focus on other area of my wedding planning. From PWS to AD fitting was always a private session that I do not need to feel uneasy while choosing my gowns. They give good advise on what kind of style I suit that will bring the attitude out from me from the kind of photoshoot location I have chosen. Their MUA also plan meticulously with the look that will match the style of the gown that I chose.
Malena Bridal was although quite new back then, but I have no regrets from engaging them for my big day project as the service they provide have achieved a different level compared to other bridal boutique.read more
