Thankfully, when I consulted my best friend (slash maid of honor) about this, she was like, “Ano ka ba! Tela lang provide mo, okay na yun no!” Besides, it was difficult to have everyone go to the same seamstress, provide measurements and do fitting all at the same time, especially with me far from Manila. Remember, I had the same dilemma whether I should get RTW or have it custom-made? It just did not make sense to me. Plus I thought, mas malaking abala pa if I pushed through with this idea.
I am happy everyone was okay with this setup. I will just buy the tela from Divisoria (I’m thinking Geena and Chiffon), and distribute to my ladies. Since our motif leans more on the pastel side, I want each girl wearing a unique pastel shade. Hehehe. Don’t worry, it will not be a children’s party.
I browsed through the FB pages of Atelier Debbie Co and some other local designers and I found the perfect designs I want. Basically I want everyone in long, flowy, pastel-colored dresses.
So I will have my couturier cousin draft up designs for our moms, our bridesmaids, and principal sponsors and I will have them choose which design they want. They can then go to their trusted mananahi to have it sewn :)
