NIKO FOR VELUZ

Gisela

hi ms. v, i've been wanting to send you a note after our december wedding, but work really demanded and is still very much demanding time from me after our wedding, i have but few words to say (although long overdue) i can't even think of the most eloquent words to describe how i felt when i saw what i describe as a classic creation of yours, very simple yet stunningly elegant bridal gown, and oh i so love everything :)
my deepest gratitude to you (your brilliant mind and the execution of every gown you make) and to your wonderful and accomodating team especially to niko and gercel, i simply adore you :) i wish you all the best and i am pretty sure that your lovely brides in the future will experience the same happiness and satisfaction as we, your past brides, experienced as we walked down the aisle wearing one of your gorgeous pieces :) here are some (but lots) of pics of my beautiful bridal gown, it's been five months and i am still getting compliments from friends and relatives here and even abroad!:) and i give all the credits to you, my long-sleeved blouse was certainly my best accessory :) plus the long train... perfect :) Gisela

I really want to blog stories about my recent brides but I just can’t find the time to do so.

In lieu of stories, let me share their love letters. I’m getting a lot of it lately and its turning me all giddy :-)

Hi Ms. V!

Hello! It's been a while.

Ayaw pa ako bumaba sa pagka high ko sa wedding eh, its been almost a month. Kahit na i was back working na a few weeks back pa, i'm still in dreamy dream land about everything.

Ms. V, a million thanks to you and to every one of your crew for making my most beautiful gown. Everyone said it was so beautiful, and I was so beautiful. haha. But I really felt at my best with my gown. Feeling ko princess ako. (feeling wow, looking wow!) haha. From the moment I put it on, there was something. At first I felt really nervous, hirap tuloy magsmile for the pictorial. After a while, feel na feel ko na pagka princess ko. haha. When I got to the hotel lobby, everyone was looking at me. On the way to the chapel to meet my prince, people in cars passing me by were waving at me with amazed smiles, and wave back naman ako. hehehe.

Thanks also for being there to help me dress up (and to Niko and the ates). It really meant a lot to me. Earlier during the day when dumating sila Niko lang without you, I felt a bit disappointed but later dumating ka, I was so happy. And thank you for seeing me off at the chapel. I really appreciate you being there. Kahit na I might not have shown it because I was feeling nervous na, with the door waiting, the music playing and my groom waiting, I really am so thankful that you were there to support me. Thanks po talaga.

Anyway, I'm glad to report that both moms were very happy with the gown. My mom was very, very happy. Likewise, my mother in law was very impressed. And everyone -- the ninangs, guests, suppliers from the photo, video and even caterer were awed with my gown.

Ako, i super love my gown. When people say 'your gown is so beautiful', I say, 'yes, it is... ayluveet!' I got the proofs of the pictures na from m+k and super maya't maya tinitignan ko talaga. Eh yun nga lang pictures from my fitting (my second to the final fitting), I look at it always, kung pwede lang magasgas ang picture. In fact, my mom wants to do a sort of postnup, to take portraits of the family in our wedding day attire, and I am so excited!!! I'm gonna wear my gown again! =)

But the best part of it all, my favorite part of the whole wedding, is the walk down the aisle. My wedding has had its minor glitches here and there. For the super oc bride that I am (almost all my suppliers noticed my oc-ness), that would have been a disaster. But just thinking about my walk down the aisle, feeling like a princess walking down to her prince and all the smiling faces looking at me, and seeing my crying groom, that makes everything perfect. The first thing my groom said to me when we met was, "kainis ka, pinaiyak mo ako, you are so beautiful." That stretch of moment, that's my dream wedding. Nothing that might have gone wrong could ruin that perfect moment. I am gonna cherish that for the rest of my life. Thanks ms. V for being a very big part of that very special moment in our life. Thanks at pinaiyak mo groom ko. haha.

Cya, cge na, naiiyak nako eh. haha.

Thanks again Ms. Veluz, Niko and all the ates. And I miss you all. Pwede ba mag visit diyan sometimes? Please? Promise, di ako mang gugulo. =)

Kristine

Kristine is probably the most relaxed bride we've worked with.
She is so relaxed that everyone else did the panicking for her. :-)

She moved her wedding date three months earlier, that left us with just two months to finish her gown. She was smiling sheepishly when she told me about it, not a hint of panic, just sweetness. Now how can I get mad at her?!

She wanted Blahnik or Choos for her shoes, and she got one the night before her wedding, just before the store closed. Did I mention her wedding is at 10AM?

She started her preps very late on her wedding day that brought her coordinators to frenzy and she assured them while smiling, that everything will be okay! Juice ko, baliktad na ba ang mundo?!!

Before she even walked down the aisle, she saw some guests hurriedly walking to the church, saw her and apologized for being late and she giggly said - "hey! it's okay, I'm waiting for you talaga eh!" kakaloka!

And just before That moment, like I always do, I told her "walk slowly ha, enjoy your moment".... the door opened with her saying softly - "don't worry, I will"

And oh my! she did. She had the most graceful walk I've seen.
She was a sight.
All panic faded at the sight of her.
She glided.
Shoulders straight, chest out
Glanced left and right, acknowledging her guests.
She even laughed softly when she saw her groom crying.
She was awesome
The guests applauded.

Jason captured it perfectly and his team's onsite video couldn't be any better. It fitted her to a T.

Madge made her smoky eyes which absolutely made her look stunning even for a morning wedding.

Ms. Rita Neri handled the day long event, with authority that is just right for her. I even remember Kristine mentioning a couple of times during our fittings how right Ms. Rita is for her - giving her direction and organization, coz she absolutely has none! hahahaha! I believe so too. I would've made her stand in the corner, or a slap in the bun had I been her coordinator. hehehe :-)

Here she is on her wedding day -
