^ sis how much ento gown mo from Haydee?

[biancayapching]

It was originally 4.8k pero nakuha ko lang for 4.5k each. Smooth transaction ko with Haydee and one of my bridesmaid booked my designer as their couturier cos no hassle kami sa kanya plus she's easy to talk to pa. You can try negotiating with the price kasi sakin medyo madami bridesmaids ko kaya nakapag bargain ako sa price

I got my entourage gowns from Haydee Garcia. Oo nga she specialize in using powerknit fabric. Ganda ng bagsak nung mga gowns ng entourage ko! Plus hindi siya nalulukot, walanh marks ng tupi and fabric is very malamig and smooth

Hi. Kamusta ka work si Haydee? Ive met her already but hindi sa shop niya so wala akong nakitang any gown niya and she didn't draw kaya medyo hesitant ako pero she gave me a good price for neoprene na. Thanks

[biancayapching]

Hi @Carlyndj ok naman. We never experience any hassle or stress with her, so far nasunod timeline namin. We alloted 8 months for ng bridal gown and ento to be done kaya naging smooth sailing din yung process cos we have enough time 😊

Hi sissies!

Does anyone know Rommel Espera? We are planning to rent the entourage attire from him.
Any feedback?

Thank you!

[Carlyndj]

@biancayapching
Ah talaga. Thats good to know. Still waiting for the recommended designer lang to reply pero kung hindi pa talaga siya mag reply baka il go with haydee narin. Thanks

Hi everyone! Looking for reviews on Martin Bautista and Ivarluski Aseron.

Gusto ko din aesthetic nila hehe 

[kimmywong88]

Hi sissies! Already found my couturier! Hubby and I are contemplating which designer are we going to pick. We had a hard time deciding which is which cos almost everyone are so good on designing hanggang it all came down to 3 designers which is Hannah Kong, Haydee Garcia and Julianne Syjuco. What we consider the most is where their atelier is located, how the designer respects what I want in my gown, execution and price. Well, I can honestly say all of them did not push through with what they want instead they all let me decide on a certain style that I'm eyeing but gives their honest opinion on what I want. My budget is around 50k to 75k max and they all agree on the budget I have and willing to work on it, execution wise Hannah Kong's signature is unlike any other she uses small beads compare to other designers and combine different elements in her embroidery, designs of her embroidery is thin, small but detailed. While Julianne Syjuco loves working with laces, beads, pearls and sequins, with Haydee Garcia naman her embroidery are in mid size, mid in thickness, combines beads, pearls and swarovski and details are intricate and well crafted. But of all these talented designers Hubby and I agreed on booking Haydee Garcia, Here's why..

-She's always prompt in replying my messages even if it's late
-Her shop is within Quezon City
-She's very easy to talk to and chatty plus not intimidating.
-Her displayed gowns are superb!

Looking forward to work with her in the coming months. Can't wait to update you with the progress

HELP PLEASE!!!

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie here.

Mag-ask lang ako ng opinion. I am undecided between Haydee Garcia & Gretchen Pichay.

Ang peg ko kasi is ethereal wedding gown. So not sure kung sino sa kanilang dalawa ang makaka-execute nung ethereal gown na type ko.

Nabasa ko na po mga reviews dito and seems that they both have pleasing personalities and work ethics. So need help po.

Ok lang ba if I ask for their sketches para ma-solidify yung decision ko?

Gretchen's rate : 50K to 65K
Includes :
primary and secomdary veils , arrhae, cords, 2 pillows, garter, hairpiece and bag.

Hayde's rate : 65K
Includes : 5 meter veil
Secondary veil
Beaded cord
Lace garter
Arrhae with coins
Custom pillows
Lending of mannequin
Free bridal assistance on the day

THANK YOU Ladies!!!

Hi girls!  finally graduate na last Dec 29 

You may also check The Fashion Hospital by Kirby Cruz, ang ganda ng gawa nya sa wedding dress ko (check his Dec 29 posts of my dress): https://www.facebook.com/thefashionhospital/

he's the brother of my best friend so akala ko he'll be less formal and accommodating of my requests since familiar naman na kame sa isat isa. but no, he was very professional to the point na sabi ko hindi ako sanay. hahaha and good thing about him is he adjusts based on your budget and if that requires some slight changes on the design, he asks for your approval first before executing.

[hermione28]

^Congrats sis. Wow   sobrang unique ng gown mo. Ang ganda.   

chedeng0811 - I have read and heard good reviews for Gretchen Pichay. Pero parang mas bet ko designs recently ni Haydee Garcia, saka may assistance on wedding day, si gretchen wala?. Kung pwede sis magpa sketch (is it free?  no idea) pa sketch ka na sis. Para makapili ka talaga kugn sino mas makakapag execute ng gusto mo.

[Tincywincy]

^Congrats sis. Wow   sobrang unique ng gown mo. Ang ganda.   

thank you sis! npaiyak nga ako nung sinuot ko na gown ko  yey Mrs club na tayo

March 2018 b2b here and haven't done my first fitting yet. Bawal mastress pero cant help it.  Please advise sisses on what to do.

Timeline:

August 2017 - measurement taking
December 2017 - first fitting but moved to
January 2018 - first wk dapat, naging last week

He posted the gown on his personal FB last night before our supposed to be first fitting today. I have a feeling na akin yun because of the term he used on the caption na ginamit nya rin nung meeting namin, so I messaged him kaagad to send me pics and lo and behold, akin nga. Hindi ko matanggap. Ang layo sa design! Nakakaiyak. I specified no beads and lace kasi minimalist ang theme ko but tinadtad nya ng beading ang top and back details. He said he did that to balance the plain skirt daw. Pero yun nga ang goal eh, simple gown. Minimalist.

Pinakita ko sa close friends and MOHs ko kung okay, puro nega comment nila. Ako rin eh. So buti na lang direct to the point si designer na kung ayoko ng top, papalitan nila.

So moved to next wk uli ang first fitting ko. Less than two months na lang. Parang gusto ko magpalit ng supplier dahil napagtanungan ko yung simpleng maybahay lang na mananahi sa amin, mura by 5x ang presyo nya. Kung sa kanya ako papatahi, mas makakamura pa ako kesa sa ibabayad kong full sa kanya. Now, IDK what to do. If I should see and fit the gown pa rin. Kasi sobrang layo sa dream gown ko. I cant believe I am posting this now because I trusted my supplier 100% dahil ang gaganda ng gawa nya. Di nya lang siguro forte ang minimalist gown pero I asked him before kung nakagawa na sya ng ganun, oo daw eh.

[Tincywincy]

^ sis for me, if he keeps insisting kung ano gusto nya rather than yung gusto mo i suggest go ka na sa backup plan mo. pero do it as early as possible sis ha. you're the client, dapat approved mo lahat ng babaguhin nya sa design. hindi dapat nya inexecute ng iba sa napag usapan ng walang go signal mo.

nacurious tuloy ako makita yung FB post nya
