Harley Ruedas-a haven of bride's wedding gown.

Wedding gown is one of the highlights of a wedding occasion. And it would be a big treat for me to wear a designer gown.
I thank my fiance for this big time TREAT. :-)

Last Saturday, we have found my wedding gown creator in the name of Harley Ruedas. With word-of-mouth recommendations by satisfied customers and promotions in various bridal shows and wedding magazine, I was convinced that he will be part of my dream team.

Harley won himself the reputation of being one of the best creators of modern wedding. He is only not known for his wedding dresses but he has also gained much acknowledgment for every evening-wear.

He is a well-known Cebu designer and has been in the business for more than a decade.

I and my fiance had our contract signing with him last Saturday and i was so impressed on how they accommodated us. In Harley Ruedas, you both have the designers born and made up. They are group of creative bunch who have a profound experience on creativity and style. They are very systematic and very professional.

It really helps when you bring in all your ideas, pictures and samples of what gown you want. Then you both discuss your body type and the way you want to look on your wedding. And the thing that I really like most is, they work on your budget.

Yep, they do. Just tell them how much is your budget for your wedding gown and behold!...

Most of the Cebu designers now, priced their wedding gowns starting from P30k to 50k. If you have a very intricated design, for sure you'll go as high as 50k.
In Harley Ruedas, they work on your budget which is really a good thing.

Jonas, one of Harley's in-house designers, started to sketch my wedding gown and it looks so so good and lovely. So romantic for a valentines wedding. Haay, im just really so excited. Here's a glimpse.


I realized that not all beautiful gowns turn out to be the best fit for you. And this is where the designers communicate their vision of loveliness for you.

My choice of designer depicts on my dressing sense and I was happy to find Harley who is a haven of bride's wedding gown.

My fiance wants me to wear this

This is the gown that my fiance wants me to wear on my wedding day.
Hmm, what do you think?

Yes, it's a beautiful gown but I am not blown away.
Because..because..because it looks expensive!!! hahaha

Honestly, I don't want to overspend on my wedding gown and make it useless after my wedding.

Sorry, I am just being reasonable and practical, Sweetheart.
Let's just dream together of me wearing that gown.. har har har

Wedding Gown Search

I want to be productive today on my wedding assignment.
"Start looking for your wedding gown now" my wedding planner instructed " Pls come up with a design"
"Okay, exciting"

I started searching online as to what would be the best gown for me. I realized how overwhelming the feeling is as you lurk from gown to another.

Haay, with so many beautiful ones.. i don't know what's perfect for me.

But I want a gown that would hide my stupid fats and would accentuate my best features. hehehe I want it simple with no overflowing beads, sashes and folds. I don't want to be a walking wedding decor noh.

One thing I know, an A-line gown would look good on me. It would hug my waist and hide flaws above my waistline.

I am not fond of Grecian gowns nor the Renaissance ones. I want the modern and sophisticated styles. Best, if it would suit my personality, would make me feell confident and comfortable wearing it. And most importantly it would meet my budget.

Here are some that I fell in love with.
1.
I love this Satin gown with sweetheart neckline.
The bead- encrusted empire bodice with satin bow is just so elegant to look at.


2.

I love the designs of Maggie Sottero. And if you are reading this Maggie, Can I wear this creation of yours? :-)

Even with this laces on, i still love the closure and V-neckline with illusion lace shoulder straps.

The natural waistline is accented with a coordinating sash which is perfect!

Clap.Clap.Clap.
Beautiful one, Maggie!
I love the simplicity. The attraction is
the stunning beaded embellishments
wrapping across the natural waist.

Elegance is mine.


4.

This is soo adorable! The laces are so captivating that adorns the dropped waist and encircles the hem of the tulle, circular skirt.

I am amazed. Now, I am
muddle-headed with these beautiful wedding gowns.

C'mon help me find the one.

Too blessed to be stressed.

September is a super busy month for me and I don't know if I like this "busyness".
I am like chasing after so many things, and its compelling me towards my goals.

Grabe, my plate is so full that I tend to put things off until the last minute. Meaning..I am working under pressure and on a tight deadline. I am very very busy but I realized I AM TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.

I am getting married, I am always flying, I am working, I am schooling, I am having a blast.

Most of all, I am happy.

Oops, it's about time to look for my wedding gown.

Can you all help me? If you find a good one, email it to me or give me the link.

Photographer: Jim Ubalde

They say that finding a professional photographer for your wedding can be a very difficult task, there's just so many choices from the vast range of photographers at widely varying prices.


But we are just overly lucky to find the best in the City. He is the man. Mr. Jim Ubalde.
Yes, you are right. The popular Jim Ubalde.

He has been doing wedding photography for 8 years now and has shot hundreds of wedding from ordinary to extraordinary people like Edu Rama,Jaja Chiongbian, Jonki Ouano and his wife, and so many others. He was already a renowned photographer on his own right before he quickly sought in the photography business.

He works exclusively on wedding photography and he gets better at doing it, and earns really BIG TIME by loving it.

Wow.

While I was lurking through his site and carefully browsing each of his masterpieces, I can't help but feel bewildered on his relaxed kind of approach to pictures. He only not document your day utilizing his expertise with composition and light, he captures the emotion, the memories, the beauty of each moment.

Gee. Seeing his portfolio only shows how he approaches wedding with a fresh outlook and treats each couple individually, always striving to photograph each wedding in a new and exciting way.

I finally sat down with him together with my fiance last week. They're actually friends, which is really a big thing! When i say big thing--simply because I am enjoying his generous quote! Byunal, Jim! We are just so lucky. It was such a delight to hear from him and discuss some of our wedding details.

Instantly I like him, he is brilliant and he really knows the flow of constant streaming moments during weddings. For him, there's nothing more gratifying that seizing the moment with his camera. That's a photographer for me.

Here's some of his timeless photos which tugged my heartstrings.

This photo provokes thought. The bride and her flower girl has a spontaneous moment done with artistry and creativeness. Beautiful!
