dreaming of my gown

If all goes as planned, my gown fitting’s supposed to be within the next couple of weeks. I must have been real apprehensive about my gown already in that I dreamt about it last night.

In that dream, my couturier, Richie Ortega Torres came up to me and told me that my gown will have to have a foam on the torso part. I clarified if she meant the boobs part. But she reiterated that no, it’s all of the torso part. I chose the gown A design wherein the creeping lace applique will be the one holding the back of the gown so, as Richie explained, the foam is required to hold the gown up. And then she showed me the dress where she incorporated our wedding colors even when it shouldn’t have any colors in it. Worse was that the shades were all off and ugly. The dream ended with us looking for swatches bearing the right shade of our wedding colors.

In retrospect, I think it was more of a nightmare than a dream. brrrr.

bridal shoes inspiration

Hubbie and I looked for bridal shoes a couple of weeks back. After browsing the web for some time, we finally zeroed in on one style – Paris Hilton’s Belina. Totally fell for it.

But I got frantic this afternoon when I revisited the site and the site wasn’t working anymore!! Good thing I found a site or two which featured Paris Hilton’s bridal shoes launch which showed pictures of some shoes albeit it doesn’t show the color I wanted. =(

Lessons learned: get a screen-capture of your wedding detail inspirations!! I did  just now. =)

I’m keeping the metallic-pewter and change the ivory parts to orange to have our color motif. Ah, excited! Can’t wait to show this to Richie and have Solea craft it. ^_^

Bridesmaids’ Gown

I had grecian-style gowns in mind for my pretty women. Browsed the web, and I came across this Vera Wang creation.

My bridesmaid’s dress would have to be sans the hideous ribbon of course.

While I was holed up in Asian Hospital and recuperating, Cindy went to Tita Linda Dee’s house to have her gown fitting.

I so love the gown! Hubbie liked it as well. The gown’s so nice even when it doesn’t have the belt yet and some beadwork’s still missing. Well, the model was pretty as well so the whole package was really good haha.

Can’t wait!!
