Busy Saturday...
Second Meeting with Jody Liwanag
Jody texted me last Tuesday and asked to meet us today at 9:30 a.m, at Starbucks, Greenbelt 3. We arrived there early; we were already at Greenbelt at 9:00 am coz i didn't want to make her wait like the last time... but i received a text from her requesting to move the time to 11 o'clock. So, i texted her back and told her we were there already and could she please make it a little earlier as we still have to accomplish some things...
She arrived at a little past ten and apologized for being late (she said she had a visitor which she can't just leave)... She then gave me checklists for the wedding which Jon and I found very useful (some of which we haven't thought of pa! - nyaiiiks!!!)... After she explained the items in the different checklists, we updated her about our wedding (it wasn't really much :( -haaayyy! ) since we last met... She stressed on those things that we have to do ASAP! --- URGENT needs to move on with our wedding preps! ... and that includes our WEDDING MOTIF!!! Ack!!! It's so hard to decide when you have to consider things like the skin type of our attendants, the flowers, the design of the cake, what would look good on pictures, etc. etc!!! She suggested monochromatic orange which would complement our wedding theme (butteflies), or celadon green and pink... ayan, nadagdagan na naman ang choices ko!!! waaaahhhh!!! I need to decide na!!! Anyway, i told her i would be meeting with Tito Franco later today and hopefully, he can give some tips so as to finally reach a decision...
After the meeting, I was tempted to go to Red Box again for their lunch promo but thankfully, Jon decided against it (although i know mejo ma-tempt din cia... hehehe)...
Meeting with Tito Franco
I was able to show Tito Franco the design I wanted for my wedding gown and asked for his quotation.. The first figure he gave me was expensive and out of the budget but i think he sensed that and he immediately took it back and gave me a more reasonable price... Ü
We were able to ask him questions (which were suggested by Jody L. ---thank God for her! Ü). and found out that he schedules very well, delivers one to two weeks before the wedding date, doesn't go to the hotel preps rather, will arrange for his assistant to assist me in dressing up and will do the pressing of the gown themselves, etc etc... He even suggested to modify the design of the gown which he told me was more for the tall and lanky so that it would be more fit for the voluptuous me (I just love his choice of words! heheheÜ)!
Bridal Fashion Show by M. Yumul
One more designer/couturier i was eyeing was Bess Garia of M. Yumul, and lucky me, he had a bridal fashion show tonight at Star Mall at 7pm (which really started at 8... Pinoy talaga, oo!) Bess has been in the industry for only 3 years --- which goes to say that he is young, vibrant and has modern takes which i would love to see... I enjoyed watching the one-hour show, took some pictures on my phone (we forgot to bring the digicam :( ), and most importantly, noticed that aqua blue was really striking at night... waaaahhhh!!! balik aqua-blue na naman kame!!! It's so very very hard to decide... :( ... anyway, i really loved the scene-stealer of the show that night... the wedding gown with gold embroidery and cathedral train, and the mile-long veil with lace.. it was breath-taking! I can't wait to meet with Bess to ask him how much it would cost me... (which i'm not quite sure we can afford... hahaha!!!)Ü
