Katya of The First Miss Merie Bridal Gown

0

A month before the first ever Miss Merie bride walks the aisle and I feel somehow stressed and excited at the same time. I have been praying for this one and "that" moment will soon arrive. Eeeep! Anyway, the above photo is the katya/canvass form of the wedding gown itself and I can't wait to see the actual one. My bride is really a simple one hence her gown reflects a lot her personality, nothing grandeur, a simple pure white gown. Hayyyyy fast forward to the wedding day please?? Haha!

Fashion Friday: Amsale Spring 2015

0

In light of my December wedding endeavor, I’ve been in constant nourishing of my supposed to be creativeness and ingenuity in designing the perfect wedding dress and entourage dresses for my first ever bridal entourage. I am blessed beyond measure for the trust given to me by the couple. That is why I am trying my best and pouring my heart out on this. During my free time I browse through different creations and of different designers and stores. Below are some of this week’s finds.

This post also features Amsale’s Spring 2015 collection. One of Amsale’s design principles, which I critically consider, is “Make Believe”. I try to place myself in the shoes of my client imagining myself being on the place and the occasion where the dress would be worn – “making believe that I am already there”. In my December bride’s case, I try to fascinate myself as much as I can the details of her wedding, making sure I know where their wedding would take place, the reception, the set-up and even the couple’s love story. I want to understand her style and personality. I don’t want my bride (and my clients) wearing any of my creations not reflecting a good association of my aesthetics and their persona.

Going back, I really like how clean, dainty, flowy and elegant the pieces of this collection are.

Seph and Reatha's Wedding

0

Need to blog on this, despite the three months lapse, because it's just the second wedding among ALL my closest friends! And the first was last 2010?? 

Seph is a close college friend. He just migrated to the US and had first tied the knot there last year. Nakakalungkot ang layooooo. But as they (with his wife) promised, they went back here last April to again give their wedding vows Philippine edition haha. 

We traveled to Pampanga, the couple's hometown, last April 26, to witness the unfolding of another chapter in their lives. Sadly, SFF wasn't complete. C'mon it's a wedding and still we can't be complete! Haha! We've been to Seph's place in Pampanga a few times during college days. And being back somehow relived them. We then just needed some escape from the toxicity of college life and now we're back for a wedding. Time flies so fast. 

Seph's "coursemates" and co-owners of Aedes Corp. were also present making the group merrier. Seph is the second one to tie the knot in this group. Cindy was first. Guys, pakasal na kayo please invite niyo ulit ako. Oh the joy of happy endings and exciting new beginnings of weddings. Dali dali dali! Haha!

Mabuhay ang bagong kasal!!!

I liked the reception set-up wherein there was like a gallery of the prenup photos. Gives me an idea hmmm...

The newly weds!!

Purple theme!! Of course it's my favorite color. Makes me wonder what them I'll be using on my wedding when the time comes. My eyes also feasted on some of the gowns of the sponsors. If only I took photos of them. The purple gown worn by Reatha above is to my liking. 

You know you are getting older when friends start to be engaged, get married, have babies. And this is one of them. Somehow, witnessing this made me wonder when my turn will be. Hmmmm. Tapos lumalabas pa yung pagka-hopeless romantic ko when I heard their vows. I pray that their love will continue to blossom and excited for SFF's baby!!! See you soon again Seph and Rheata. We are willing to be ninang's and ninong's!

Now, who's next??

Cr: Tin, Kat, and Cindy for the photos.

Fashion Friday Inspiration

2

I must admit that the floral background got me. I stumbled upon this 2014 Claire Pettibone Couture Bridal collection while having my usual rounds on wedding blogs. It obviously got my attention and ended up posting it here for some inspiration. It’s dramatically beautiful. The gowns in the collection are nothing really grand, nothing of those balloon skirts and elegant bodice, but they’re graceful and charming and there’s something in the intricate details and lovely back minutiae. I think I’m having an increased fondness for lace and chiffon or fabrics similar to these.

My favorite. Lovely, charming and graceful to the eyes

143. Wedding Peg

Each time I watch this video, I always tear up! These two weirdos!

I've been an avid reader of Patty Laurel and was a witness to her love stories. The day she got married, I felt like, I personally know her and was so happy for her! The Pats are just the cutest weirdo couple I've known!

Their vows are by far the best I've heard! I pray for their lifelong joyous marriage! So sweet! This will be my wedding peg. Not too grand. It is simple yet classic and elegant.
