Dresses and Gowns Part 14 MOD'S NOTE: NO PM call outs/soliciting/advertising

[rienny25]

Hi sis!  So far si Cor Sunglao Kho & Rowell Panlilio asa shortlist ko.  Si Coca couture, starting from 30k daw yung gown niya.  Nung pina-quote ko sa kanya peg ko, 65k daw with accessories.  Then yung ento naman 7500 each yung peg ko then plus 1500 kung palalagyan ng beads.  Namamahalan ako sis kasi yoko talaga masyadong mag splurge sa gown dahil once ko lang naman susuot then after that itatago na lang sa wardrobe ko.

^^May latest feedback ba on Paolo Blanco? Thinking of having dresses made for upcoming events kasi.

[j.adore]

Wala recently kasi yung mga active mag post eh nagsilipatan sila ng designer.

[Yaya]

looking for a designer ng gown ng mother ko. yung magaling gumawa. magbabasa ako dito.

[stupidgal]

Any Jazel Sy brides here? Or Claiza Bihasa brides?

Talaga bang mejo mabagal magreply via email sila Claiza Bihasa? or ako lang excited masyado.

5mos to go and I dont have a designer yet! soooo tamad. I have a back up plan though, but it would be better if I could get a designer sana. My first option Mel Orlina can no longer accomodate me anymore.

[fionaapple]

kung di agad ako nakakuha ng mananahi, i would probably try Happy Andrada. try mo yun sis.

[cheezums]

Can anyone recommend a shop where I can buy a RTW wedding gown? (Other than Divi, kasi nasa option ko na yun)  I prefer RTW na lang kasi baka hassle yung papatahi pa hehe. Also, tight budget. TIA!

[j.adore]

You can try sa mga designers they sell their samples.

[happyheartheart]

cheezums, meron sa Landmark. Ivory and White yata yung main supplier dun. Around 20 to 50k ang price range.

[cheezums]

Thanks girls! Checked out Ivory&White maganda gowns nila and ang linis tignan. Very timeless. I might go to their bridal store to fit some.

I asked for quotes from Kirk Soberon also and I actually find his rates affordable. Any feedback sa kanya please? He seems nice and mabilis reply.

Waiting for replies from Mel Orlina, Amonn, Jeff House of Fashion, etc.

[stupidgal]

Yep yep, try visiting Ivory and White, ang bilis din nila magreply sa email.


Mel Orlina accepted me pala! haha, nadala sa pangungulit kahit nag NO na siya twice sakin.

[preciouz]

Sis cheezums, na-book ko na si Kirk Soberon as my couturier. Madali talaga siya kausap, everytime na may question ako nagrereply agad. Maganda yung mga tahi nila sis at hindi mahal. Nung kinasal yung friend ko sa kanya kami nagpatahi ng mga ento gowns namin. Sa kasal ko sa kanya ko na pinatahi pati wedding gown ko.

Quick summary of my designer hunt

1. Mel Orlina - I cancelled my meeting with her due to my busy sched.
  peg quote - 65k

2. Von Lazaro - goodness, na-antipatikahan ako sa reply niya via email. And for me mjo pine-peg niya si   veluz, which is off for me. Mas gusto ko yung may sariling style.
  peg quote - 75k

3. Vidal Clayton - I cancelled my meeting again kasi parang ang hirap kausap sa email, dating niya sakin is not techie coz puro phone lang ang means of communication niya aside from personal meetings. He seemed polite though when I talked to him over the phone.

4. Hallie Vy - I canceled my supposed to be meeting with her coz of my sched again. Then she sent follow up mails na super plus for me! but I read somewhere na mejo mataray siya so nag alangan na ko
  peg quote - 55k

5. Claiza Bihasa - initially, mabilis magreply, pero nung nakaka ilang palit na ko ng peg, di na nagrereply, kahit na super decided na ko sa kanya.
   peg quote - 65 - 80k

6. Jazel Sy - super quick magreply sa fb but she doesn't want to provide a quote for my peg kasi mas prefer daw niya personal meeting. I am overseas, big factor sakin yung madaling kausapin via email. One instance lang talaga na nagulat ako kayt Jazel Sy was when she replied to me "ang tagal pa pala". Parang binurst niya bubble ko, and I think yun yung isa sa mga bagay na di dapat sabihin sa brides lalo na for those na excited sa bridal gown. 

[cheezums]

Sis cheezums, na-book ko na si Kirk Soberon as my couturier. Madali talaga siya kausap....

Yeah he is so accommodating nga. He told me send lang daw ako design if may mahanap pa ko na gusto ko ipaquote. Ang dami ko na nasend sakanya haha. Matagal pa rin wedding ko and he told me also "tagal pa pala, damo pa lalabas na designs"..in a good way I think we're building na some kind of rapport kahit chat pa lang kami usap haha. Does he stay sa hotel preps on the wedding day until the march?

Got quotes from some designers, and ang mahal over my budget. So far Kirk is my top choice. Though sabi nga niya tagal pa naman wedding ko. I have a long time pa to think and research. The perks of planning early.

[moonstar_004]

^^actually medyo ganun din yung impression ko kay von when i met him. he wasn't mataray naman, but he wasn't warm either. i find him haughty. my fiance did too. so even if his quote to me was cheaper than kristel yulo's quote by more than 10k, i still went with kristel.

[cheezums]

Good info. Might help

^sis cheezums hindi ko napansin account pala ng sister ko yung naka login, haha!

Tinanong ko din si Kirk kung kasama na ba yung assistance niya sa wedding day. Sabi nya kasama na daw. May mga pictures siya sa boutique niya na inaassist niya yung mga brides. May pinakita pa siyang SDE video na siya pa yung nagaayos ng veil ng bride pagbaba sa car sa church bago mag march.

[fallen_@ngeL]

hello sisses.. same here got the same impression on von..medyo pagkamataray na ewan... basta di ako comfortable.. kasi yung peg na pinakita ko sa kanya medyo di ganun ka ball gown ang baba.. kasi nga beach ang reception ko.. sabi niya sa akin, eh di sana ginawan nalang kita ng bridesmaid gown??
isip ko "ah ok di naman lahat ng brides gusto bonggang bongga ang pambaba".. well anyways, yung quote niya sa akin ay nasa 70K so ekis na siya agad sa akin.. ang mahal! last year lang kinasal friend ko siya designer nasa 55K gown niya.. pero super simple lang naman.. nag taas na siya ngayon..
my wedding is on Feb 2015, cramming na sa pag hahanap.. already tried White Label Bridal gowns and Ivory and white bridal shop.. pag wala talaga ako makita, mag go na ko sa RTW..
