I love browsing thru wedding magazines to check out styles and get inspiration. Once in a while, I rip out pages showing gowns that made my heart skip. This was one of them. I think its the spunk of the bride which made me like it. Traditional yet edgy. When I met Cynch and her […]
Erika,isn’t she pretty! 🙂 Uuuuuuuuuy! I’ve been fitting brides for years now, ever since I fired my fitting supervisor in ’98 after getting into so many fights with my other sewers. The camaraderie of my staff is much more important than her skill. I learned a lot from her though, and for that, I’ll be forever […]
Cute no?!? 🙂 Ces and Jon gave this to me as a thank you gift, I was so thrilled! Ces now, Cecil then was my classmate in 3rd year high school. But I’ve known her since 1st year, who wouldn’t? She’s smart and pretty. So we’ve known each other for 2 decades, yes, 2 decades. […]
Exactly 7 years ago, when I fell asleep at 2AM while chatting with my sister. It was the night before my wedding. I got back from the shop at 10PM the night before after asking my head sewer to attach the sleeves to my wedding gown, ayaw lumiit ng braso ko eh! One of the […]
I’ve been wanting to blog for quite some time, but yes, couldn’t find the time. Between meeting new brides, making friends during fittings, getting excited during weddings, breastfeeding my baby, preparing my kids for school and malling every thursday. Busy? Di naman masyado. I’ve been wanting to blog about Carol, my ex-bride and currently matron […]
From Springfield to Boston. I have two brides confirm today and they’re both in Massachussets. One’s a W@Wie the other’s a Google. It just got me so excited I wanted to share it with you. Of course they don’t know each other, but they’re only about an hours drive away from each other. I love […]
I receive a lot of questions about gown making. Popular topics are fabric types, sewing techniques, tips and secrets, emebellishments and even patternmaking. From time to time or when something interesting comes along, I’ll share it with you. Here’s something about silk duchess satin. A bride thought the name weird. My reply: Silk Duchess Satin is actually proper. […]
The bride-iest of them all. She called to inform me she’s getting married 15 months before the day. Not a month after that passed without us talking about it. She bought fabrics in Bangkok before we finalized the designs. She redefined fittings. After the 7th or 8th, I lost count. And picture taking! She was […]
I finally got around to adding Niko’s interview with Pink Magazine on the site. This was a few months ago but still – a magazine feature does not happen everyday.Niko’s been designing for SEVEN for about two years now (or his entire working life) and I’m very grateful to him. I pretty much leave him […]
jen’s wedding in hacienda isabella was one of the most beautiful weddings i’ve been to. Everything was aesthetically pleasing. The color coordination is perfect – groom in black, bride in white, red flowers. And Hacienda Isabella is just marvelous.
It had to happen sometime. I knew I couldn’t ignore weblogging forever. I sure hope I can find my weblogging style in less than a hundred posts, meanwhile thank you for your indulgence. The internet has been very kind to me and I am especially grateful to Weddings@Work for their Yahoo! group. And of course […]
