mock-up gowns by farley..

Farley De Castro is a humble and quiet guy who can create magical gowns. (As long as you show him the right style for you. Sadly he does not sketch / design clothes). This weekend, we booked him for our entourage's gowns. =)

No, he is not a relative of the bride but how i wish he is! I first met Farley when i became part of Rencie's wedding entourage way back in 2001. (Rencie is a college buddy of the bride). The gowns Farley made for us are in perfect fit. No adjustments needed at all! The only downside was his shop was located in the flood-stricken Malabon, hehe.. When it was my turn to prepare for our wedding, i discovered that the W@wie community has great reviews on Farley's creation. Hmmm, sikat na pala si Farley! Expensive na rin kaya? So, together with my Mom, we braved to travel all the way to Malabon and brought some fabric with us to sample Farley's creation. I just wanna make sure he still has it and another excuse to have new clothes! hehe..

I chose this pearl-white chiffon fabric with gold streaks in 6 yards to create a flowing gown and another fabric in yellow and pink for my vintage dress. Upon showing him various photos to re-create, we settled to an electric-pleated with bubble-edged skirt.

And just today, i got my chiffon grecian-style gown & yellow vintage-inspired dress delivered by Farley to our house. =) I tell you, the mock-up gown is sooo preettyy!! Pwede na talagang pang wedding gown. Will wear it to our planned trash-the-dress (pag natuloy)! We're having some problems pa matching Loel's sched with that of MangoRed.

But yey! can't wait to wear them na! (won't post pix muna, sa prenup shots na para surprise ;p)

To our entourage members, promise you'll love your Farley gowns too! =)

Last night, i also watched a wedding gig of Sound Salad in Oasis. They're good! And yes, quite expensive, too! Hmmm.. Have to think it over pa muna.. Compute, compute ulet tayo bebe.. =)
