Browsed thru my Dropbox recently and found some treasure :-). This happened 4 years ago while shooting catalog photos of my 2017 RTW line. The dresses were launched, I just wasn’t able to share my thoughts about the editorial shoot we did right after. I browsed thru the album and once again the images made […]
We made these dresses for Conrad’s Inspired Beginnings a couple of years back. The models sashayed down the outdoor runway against the beautiful sunset. It was a magical afternoon. I love how the soft beading of each dress bounced the soft rays of the sun. The gentle breeze from the sea complimented the easy feel […]
Weddings now are very different from the time I got married 20 years ago. Not just because of the fun hashtags but every aspect involves a lot more planning now and a lot more people. Before, book a reception venue, and practically half of the wedding planning is done. Now, it just marks the beginning. […]
Coming up with something different is always an objective while working on my collection. There is always that need to come up with dresses that are somehow familiar, so brides can easily relate, yet fresh, that they look forward to experiencing them. I want to create dresses that will make brides anticipate the joy of […]
Can’t think of a title for this post so I grabbed the idea from Threelogy’s choice of music, thanks Bong! Haha! We will be launching our Veluz 2018 line in a few weeks, but before we do that let’s indulge ourselves with some beauties from the last shoot we did. We had an opportunity to […]
This is my 5th year of presenting RTW dresses in my 18th year of making wedding gowns. Wow. This may not mean anything to others but it floors me every time I realize the number of people whose memories of their most special day included us. The hundreds of weddings my team and I have […]
I love this film. So much, that on some difficult days at work, I’d play this one and feel grateful that fate has given me these people to work with. We may not be related by blood, but they are as much a family to me as I am to them. Couldn’t be happier that […]
I believe it is never too late to say thank you to the genius behind this film. It has always been my dream to be filmed by the inimitable Jason Magbanua. I may not have been in front of the camera but thru the words of my brides and Jason’s storytelling, the film was able […]
Got giddy with excitement when Jen of Ever After Bridal mentioned, in one of our correspondences, that she’s planning to gather 5 of our brides for a photo shoot – wearing their respective Veluz gowns, in one place, in one occasion. Considering the distances between them and their busy schedules, I knew this is going to be […]
Been married now for 16 years but I can still remember the day we got married, how early I woke up even if I slept at 2AM in the morning, how fun it was dressing up with my sister and my closest friends at the hotel, how giddy I was walking down that aisle and what a […]
Met Jen on my very 1st trip to New York a couple of years back. After several email exchanges with her just before my trip, we decided to just discuss her wedding gown when I visit New York. Met her on my 1st day and after several meetings already with other inquiring brides. Not an […]
Once in a while you meet a bride who is beautiful, tall and skinny 🙂 AND ridiculously nice! She’s one of those that girls love to hate – definitely not a pushover but naturally charming, sweet and courteous to my staff, always appropriately dressed, walks comfortably in heels and yes, those bags! she nonchalantly […]
