It was my first time to visit a bridal boutique and while I've already browsed through HUNDREDS of wedding dresses on Pinterest, I still don't have a specific peg--simply because I don't want to be disappointed na baka yung dream wedding gown ko e hindi pala bagay sakin. I have a lot of body issues ("chismis", as Bride House would call it) that of course I want to conceal when I'm wearing my wedding dress. And true enough, all brides do, and Bride House knows exactly how to hide all that chismis!
Below is my wedding dress sketch based on how I described it (sweetheart, A-line na medyo ball gown, super minimal embroidery and beads, and see-through top na as if the lace is invisible). Aaaand a little chika here and chika there and voila! My sketch is done! My thoughts? Honestly, it looked...generic. But don't get me wrong! I loooooved it! Kaso it's hard to imagine it from a sketch and besides, my goal for visiting Bride House sana was to fit some RTW (ready to wear) gowns para nga malaman ko what would suit my body type best. Unfortunately for me, there was another bride there scheduled for her second fitting and there weren't much gowns to see anyway (I think I only saw two that I liked). While it was overall a satisfying visit, I still wished I could have tried, or at least they could have offered, for me to try at least one gown. :(
Still, I highly recommend Bride House PH! It's quite popular in the GT forums and the price range is just right (RTW starts at 25k). This one below is priced at 35k complete with all the accessories (veil, secondary veil, cord, arrhae holder with coins, arrhae pillow, ring pillow, petticoat, garter and hair piece - copy pasted from GT). This is definitely on my shortlist but due to budget considerations (I still think I can get a decent gown in Divi for less than 20k), this is not on top of my list. Buuuut! I jokingly asked my sister (my Matron of Honor) to sponsor my wedding gown, and I think she agreed naman? Hahahaha but I asked her din to pay for the venue so of course if kaya nya ang venue ako na magbabayad ng gown ko! Haha! Will see how this would turn out.
Excited to have more sketches and of course, to finally, FINALLY try RTW gowns!
EEEE I'M EXCITEEEED!!! xD
