Bridal couture - for better or worse





Vera Wang & Monique Lhuillier
may be the buzz in bridal
couture lately but personally
i still prefer the local
designers. I like the creations
of Rajo Laurel & Frederick
Peralta. There's one site that i stumbled on & actually like some of its designs, including those in the pics.

Aside from the staggering
price, I not am exactly
a fan of lace or intricate
beadwork. I prefer it simple,
with less embellishments, if
at all. I always thought
minimalist is more elegant
than a busy beadwork or lacy
detail. No one wants to be
caught dead wearing a piece
that looks like something
out of lola's baul or
*gasp* "curtina" in the
late 80's.

But that's just me. Every
bride has different
preferences & should follow
whatever she fancies on her
day. Bride season is here
again, which reminds me to
start planning for my own
wedding...

What's your dream wedding dress?

@ belle : Nope that wasn't my wedding gown. I have yet to get married & didn't make the preparations pa. As i mentioned in the post, i like the creations of winniecouture.com. & you can find these gowns there.

For my own, there are too many options i have yet to choose. = )

I like my gown to be detachable! Tipong when I get to the reception, I'll just be wearing a dress!

I agree, the simpler the better!
