Entourage Gown Designs by the Entourage

This is fast becoming a trend in the country today. Where before bridesmaids are required to wear the same thing (just like a uniform), now bridesmaids have the freedom to choose the gown design they want that will flatter their curves and body type! They just have to conform to the motif/theme and cloth specification. Some carefree brides even allow their bridesmaids to choose the colors they desire! Here's a sample photo I found on the Bride's Cafe.

Now how's that for assurance that you will have a gorgeous entourage? =)

My Adorable Flower Girl Caitlin

It was my inaanak Caitlin's birthday last November 3 and as a post birthday gift I am posting here her adorable photos during our wedding.

Isn't she a doll? =) Belated Happy Birthday darling!

Grecian Inspired Bridesmaids Gowns

Of all dresses, I absolutely love the Grecian dress. I think that the style is so feminine, romantic and sweet. And who doesn't want to look like a Greek goddess, right? So for my wedding, I decided to have my girls wear Grecian dresses and I am going to share them here.

To achieve the willowy look, we used chiffon instead of silk. More samples from Jennifer Lopez who also loves Grecian inspired gowns.

Wedding Tip for the Week

It is getting to be a trend these days to have the entourage gowns and suits/barongs tailored or bought by the couple. This could easily dent your budget a hefty P10,000-20,000. Those are not small figures, my friends. But why spend that much for dresses that your entourage will not wear ever again if you can just rent and spend just a little? Contrary to popular belief, gown renting will not make your entourage look cheap on your big day. There are a lot of bridal shops who allow their clients to dictate the design of the gowns they are to rent. Clients just have to submit a picture of the designs they want and the bridal shop will have their seamstress copy the gowns. The clients will then have the privelage of having their entourage wear their gowns of choice for the first time. In my case, I rented my entourage gowns for a measly P300/gown (P250 only if they turn out to be short gowns) and P150/barong which leaves us only with P3,000 to spare for the entourage gowns and suits. But if you really are adamant in having your entourage's attire designed especially for your guys and girls then you can just ask them to pay for theirs as their wedding gift for you.

Hope this helps!
