Jihan

Jihan is a sweetheart! I adore her! She's stunning!

She's the youngest bride I've ever had so far.

When I first met her at Teena's office, she told me that the theme of her wedding was "Vintage Glamour" So immediately I thought of feathers, lace, fascinators, crystals.. and of course, a NOT WHITE wedding gown!

Another thing that came to my mind was the idea to make her look "womanly.." than "girly.."

Her gorgeous girls wore simple draped dresses in dove gray color with vintage brooch accents matched with super cute fascinators! And the cute flower girls in their ruffled dresses! ;-)

dressing her up and giving tips! LOL

It took me almost _____ days to finish her skirt! Everything was hand sewn!

Chris and Shirley

Shirley is one of the most OC clients I've ever had.. haha.. Super! Every small detail matters.. And Chris is very supportive. (But i like it coz i think, if ever I'll get married, I'll be super OC too.. haha)

The first time I met Shirley, I was not sure if she will book me. Seriously.. So i did my best to present her something that she can't refuse. :-) And when she came to pick up all the clothes na, she told me she went to almost 10 designers and luckily, she chose me! :-)

Both of them have good taste.. They are very creative.. I love the concept of their wedding.. Vintage, romantic, sophisticated.. I was super happy when i saw the photos.. We nailed it! :-) And I told Shirley, "pwede pala kayo ni Chris maging model eh.. galing nyo mag pose!"

This is what she replied "haha. model? not siguro. im so glad you finally get to see the pics. sure, do invite us in one of your shows. would love to see your new creations.. hope maging veluz ka din. i'll never tire of recommending you to my weddings@work sisters. i will continue to follow through your recent involvement and activities through your blogs and social network sites. more power! hugs!"
