I am dead tired from all the meetings and fittings I had today but reading this email somehow renewed me… reminded me of what my work is all about …
“hi veluz, this is a fan mail 😉
i know you from w@w since i joined them in 2006 when i planned for my july 2007 wedding. i so love reading about you, your gowns and your brides. inggit ako! i never gathered enough courage to meet with you coz i only have a small budget for my wedding. you were just part of my nice-to-have and not need.
now, i like reading blogs and i stumbled upon your site from a link from a fellow nawie naman. haha like deja vu, i saw your creations and it left me wistfully thinking that if money had not been an object, i should have gotten you to make my gown. i agree that a girl should be her most beautiful on her wedding day. your gowns are not just something to wear on that day — it brings on the attitude, the romantic aura, the beauty of THE BRIDE.
i loved my wedding and the regrets are few and far-in-between. but i am now sorry that i wasn’t a veluz bride. 😉
more power and congratulations on your continued success!
andrea”
thank you.
thank you so much Andrea!
you make it all worthwhile 🙂
di ko kinaya, may fan ako! hahahaha!
pahabol – to all those who are patiently waiting for sketches, please please please have more patience po, I am really working on it.

Aww ang sweet naman!
V, alam mo, 3 years na since my wedding but I still get emails about my dress! 🙂 So am not surprised hehe. Saw you sa W@W teaser, grabe nakakamiss kayo!!
Take care, and say hello to Rene and Niko!! And your beautiful kids 🙂
January 28, 2009 @ 2:56 pm
Ako din fan! Sobra!! 😉 Almost 1 month has passed since my wedding pero grabe everyday ko yata tinitingan yung mga pictures…the dress…the hairpiece… super thank you talaga and thanks for coming to Tagaytay although I know initially you weren’t supposed to!! Ha!ha!ha! parang gusto ko ulit magpagawa ng wedding gown and ikasal ulit!
All the best to you, Niko, Gercel and the rest of your staff!!
January 28, 2009 @ 8:23 pm
Puwede ba ako magpasignature? 😀 Proud ako kasi Veluz and Niko bride ako. Pati asawa ko Veluz and Niko groom. 🙂 At pati ang mga nirefer ko sayo, lahat masaya sa gowns nila. O diba?
January 28, 2009 @ 9:46 pm
Veluz,
I too was a fan.. still am. I swear you make the most gorgeous gowns! Even if I had a budget for a vera wang or monique lhuillier wedding gown.. I’d still pick you!
Hi to everyone!
January 29, 2009 @ 12:11 am
I have to agree with Andrea. I contacted you in April 2007 for my August 2007 wedding. It is my biggest regret that I did not have you make my gown.
Thankfully, I was able to help convince another U.S. blogger bride to use you. Her dress was stunning and I’ve only seen a few snapshots.
Continued success to you! Who knows, maybe I’ll have a dress made for a vow renewal?
January 29, 2009 @ 1:11 am
Hello Ms V! Naku ka-touch naman yang fan mo…nagtaka ka pa bonggang bongga naman talaga mga creations mo! That’s why I have all the patience in the world for you…maging Veluz bride lang ako haha! Ingat! =)
January 29, 2009 @ 3:38 am
Hello Ms V and Niko! all i can say is “Ditto” … I,too, am sorry for all non-veluz brides … after my wedding, whenever i feel sad-and-not-so-fab , i just look at my dress again and I feel super fab na ulit hahaha luv u guys!
January 29, 2009 @ 5:54 am

January 29, 2009 @ 2:41 pm
Ms. Veluz, me too!:(( How I wish I had asked you to make my gown. I always end up green with envy whenever I see the the Veluz brides and I know that I will never have the chance to remedy that wedding “regret”.
Girls, to hell with the voice of practicality…you only get married once (I only wish I had realized this sooner)!
January 29, 2009 @ 3:02 pm

hi Ms. V!
It’s been more than a month since our wedding but up to now, whenever I get a chance, I peek through our wedding pictures and video and can’t help but giggle looking at my lovely gown 🙂 It brings me back down memory lane when I was at your shop for the first time… and you told me you’ve been waiting for the right bride who will fit into the idea/style you have in mind, hehe =D thanks again Ms. V!
Give my hugs and kisses to Niko, Ate Gercel, Pot, and the rest of the gang!
A proud Veluz bride,
Cie c”,)
PS. Everytime I see you, I get starstruck, grabe… Dyosa ka talaga Ms. V… IDOL!!!
February 3, 2009 @ 11:17 am

February 3, 2009 @ 1:45 pm
Hi Ms. V.,
I’m a soon to be bride (may ganon ba), and I’ve been visiting your site more than I need to. Minsan pinipigilan ko na ang sarili ko!
A part of me still wants to be practical, but a part of me is dying to be a Veluz Bride.
Reading the happiness of the ladies here who’ve had the experience, and the “regrets” of those who didn’t is making me crazy! (Exagg ba?)
Hay… I truly hope you deserve all the praises you’re receiving now. I hope I get to meet you soon, and more than that, be a Veluz Bride.
More power!
February 10, 2009 @ 3:10 pm
Miss V – ako rin, excited na sa outcome ng wedding gown ko. In preparation nga, sobra na pag-career ko sa pag-gym para di naman nakakahiya sa iyo. (LOL) See you again pag-uwi ko sa May.
February 15, 2009 @ 3:30 pm
Hi Ms. V.! I hope and pray na maging Veluz Bride rin ako..but I have yet to meet my Groom ;). More power for you sa lahat ng seasons! See you soon!:-)
