Gown Inspirations - Part 2

A few blogs ago, I wrote about some of the bridal gowns I've seen online which I'm eyeing as inspirations for my own.  Well, it seems there's some sort of revelation here : (1)  I am inclined towards a Veluz creation (or a Cecilio Abad gown), though I am not willing to pay for either hehehehehehe ;-p ; (2)  I love, love, love, love lace (alencon, chantilly and corded), some beadings, and tulle skirts ----- and this is saying a lot already since I was initially thinking of donning a non-beaded bridal gown; (3)  I prefer a gown with sleeves (the better to hide those bulging, humongous arms!); and (4)  I like my gown with either an A-line or trumpet / princess cut.

Here are some additional gowns I would be using as inspiration for my Tutuban-made wedding attire.  Whew!  It's so tough deciding what my dress will look like.  Hay, my fashion vocabulary is really....so wanting.  I can't even tell the difference between a dress and a gown (as some designers insist....there's a world of a difference).

And to end this picture-loaded blog, let me show you some more gorgeous gowns from Casablanca Bridal.  It seems I like sweetheart necklines and A-line / trumpet cuts, too.  Hahaha if only I have the body to go with these exquisite pieces of clothing   :-)

How about you?  What are your bridal inspirations?

Gown Inspirations

Eight months and fifteen days before our big day, I find myself staring so hard at these eye-candy, blog-worthy bridal gowns by the 'ít' designer of the decade, Veluz Reyes.  M and I weren't even a couple then, but I would always check her blog and dream that one day I'll get married in a gown made by the one and only queen of bridal couture who gained so much popularity for her embroidery and lace works.  Hahaha but then when reality strikes and budget talks begin, every groom and bride will have to make a choice.  And I chose to scrimp on the gown, since I'll be wearing it only for a day.  Who knows, maybe on our 10th or 25th anniversary, afford ko nang mag-Veluz?  Hehehehe  ;-)

Hay, if only I could get the Disenyo Pandi group to do anything close these dreamy bridal attire:
