Love, Yu
Ee-Lyn Tang worked in the banking
industry before deciding to pursue
her dream. A graduate of the Parsons
School of Design in New York, she
started her label Love, Yu in 2009.
Ee-Lyn specialises in simple, timeless
and chic wedding gowns. They’re now
available internationally, including at the
e-boutique Shopbop.com.

boutique The Prelude Bridal. Gowns range from
$2,000 to $3,800. 8 Mohamed Sultan Road,

For wallet-friendly:
The GownWarehouse
The Gown Warehouse saw a lack in
availability of a variety of beautiful, up-to-
the-minute yet affordable weddings. New
collections are brought in every quarter,
and the large space and mirrored stage
is conducive both for browsing and for
trying on dresses.
Short dresses are around $250 and longer
dresses are between $500 and $2,000. 11
Woodlands Close, Woodlands 11, #06-38.

Vivian Gown, 308A Anchorvale Road
For couture: Tan Yoong
Tan Yoong has been a fashion designer
for over two decades and has won
numerous awards for his fantastical
and surrealistic creations. For him,
what constitutes good bridal design
is timeless appeal, and his philosophy
has always been to design pieces that
are simple but stunning, where less is
more but not necessarily minimalist.
A simple bridal gown starts from $5,000 and
a simple evening gown from $3,000. #02-50

designer is known for her modern approach, sophisticated
drama and feminine detailing. (And, more recently during her
Fall 2014 shows, for shocking colour – pinks!)
