A wedding is one of the most memorable day in a woman's life. I started planning for mine October 2009 and the wedding is on December 2010. It's months and months and months of planning that comes down to just one day. That one day looks so simple, put on the gown and marry the man of your dreams. Oh, but for sure, something will go wrong, for they always do. But i'll be fine when that day comes because i'll have the perfect wedding dress.
It is the dress that highlights the celebration. In my list of wedding priorities, the wedding dress is number 2 next to my groom. I first saw Veluz's works October last year. Ate elaine (Dax's sister) sent me a few links of popular Bridal Couture Designers. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her
blogger.
Oh my God! I don't want any other designers. I want her to make my Gown. So we sent an email and she replied. So we arranged to see her in December to talk about the gown. I kept my options open, we looked for other designers but never made a commitment to see them. In my heart I already know who I want even if I still have no idea about how I want my dress to look like.
December came and it was time to see Ms. V. I already had an idea of how much it would cost us. Its not going to be less than a 6 digit figure, that's for sure. Even then, I went thru with it. I kept on telling myself, it's ok, it's a free consultation, she'll give me a quote and I can take my time to decide on it.
While she was making a sketch she said without sounding arrogant, this is going to be real expensive, there's going to be lots of shiny shiny swarovski here and here and here. So I said, bawasan natin ng kinang. She flipped her pencil and rubbed a few of those swarovski off. It still looked awesome to me. She left the room and said, I'm coming with the quotation. A few minutes later, she came out with a paper and handed it to me. Its still expensive but I was expecting it to be. I just know it's going to be worth every penny.
I didn't see other designers because I never intended to. My heart was fixed on her and only her. I called the next day and saw her the day after for the first fitting.
