4 Reasons to Choose Gardens By The Bay for Your Pre Wedding Photoshoot
While doing research on which locations would be good for a Pre Wedding shoot, you will definitely find wedding photos from Gardens By The Bay. Within the Gardens By The Bay is the world’s largest green house - Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. It can be one of your options for your Pre Wedding Photoshoot.
Here are 4 reasons to choose this as your pre wedding location.
Cloud Forest Cloud Walk
1. Singapore’s Landmark
It is renowned around the world as one of the most advanced, breathtaking and unique artificial forests in the world. SuperTree Grove is where you will find vertical gardens that look like trees that reach 25 and 50 meters tall.
Flower Dome is the largest glass indoor greenhouse in the world (Guinness Records 2015) They house 8 different areas like Baobabs and bottle trees, Succulent garden, Flower field, Mediterranean garden, South American Garden, Australian Garden, South African garden, Californian garden and lastly Olive grove.
Cloud Forest contains the famous 35-meter high indoor waterfall. They also have mist timings at: 10:00am, 12:00pm, 2:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, 8:00pm daily. It is also the most popular location out of the three as nothing can beat how beautiful this location is.

2. Fully Air Conditioned
Being in such a hot tropical climate like Singapore, you will feel the heat and humidity one way or another, especially for an outdoor pre wedding photoshoot in multiple layers of clothing in the hot afternoon sun.
Here in the enclosed Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, it has a consistent cooled temperature of 23-25 degrees celsius. The perfect temperature that won’t let you break a sweat! This will be especially beneficial for grooms who suffer from perspiring too easily.
With multiple indoor toilets, you will feel comfortable even when you are changing into your second outfit.

3. Rain Or Shine
The weather in Singapore may be very unpredictable. No matter how much we plan beforehand, there will always be a chance of rain on the date of your pre wedding photoshoot. It has happened many times and Gardens By The Bay has never failed us.
Having two enclosed large glass domes to choose from, it does not matter if it rains or shines as the photoshoot will still be able to proceed.

4. Affordable Rate
Other large indoor locations for pre wedding photoshoots can get quite expensive. Some can go up to $380+ for a 2 hour shoot and you will have to book the slot months in advance as there is only a specific timing you can go to.
For Gardens by The Bay, you can book for any weekday, within their opening hours from 9:00am-9:00pm daily with their $188 package. It will include 4 tickets to both Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Upon arriving, we will have a buggy ride to the entrance of the domes. There will also be a Gardens Safety Ambassador who will be accompanying us throughout the shoot and block off certain areas/divert human traffic for us to have our photoshoot. You will also be able to receive a 2hr complimentary parking as well. Read more about it here: https://www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/book-a-venue/weddings/Photography-use.html
