It’s been almost 2 years since I got married and I still continue to receive inquiries about my wedding gown. Yes, my simple yet superstar wedding gown!
No heavy beads. No heavy fabric. No lace. No flowers. I kept the design simple and yet it made lasting impression to our guests and my blog readers! By doing away with all the drama, my gown was able to highlight the clean lines and perfect fit of the bodice and whimsical ruffles of the skirt. I don’t think I could have achieved those if I didn’t get Carmen Lazaro + Von Lazaro to do my gown. Their craftmanship is impeccable! (If you are new into my blog and would like to know how I got them for my wedding, you can read the story here).
Here are the details of my gown, made of 100% jusilin in ivory color:
I sure am lucky to have found Von and to have worked with him and his mom to make my dream wedding gown come true. I’ve kept in touch with him through Facebook and am amazed at how he has evolved in a span of just 2 years! First of all, he has his own label now. Secondly, his designs are more elaborate and because he’s young, he’s not afraid to experiment – mixing lace and silk fabrics, designing elaborate beaded lace designs, among others.
His design portfolio boasts of eye-popping lace works and multi-layered fabric gowns that can rival those of Veluz and Cecilio Abad. Of course, that’s just my opinion but that’s how I see it. Von has finally arrived! Check him out at #vonbride.
Here are some of my favorites:
I am truly happy to see Von reach this far. But then again, I see this as just a beginning of a long and successful career as a bridal designer. So I am really proud and mega yabang to have been one of his “pioneer” brides hehe!
To all future brides out there, get your appointment with Von Lazaro now and see your dream gown come true!

![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜

I would like to fet yout opinion from Von Lazaro’s designs. Is he requiring a minimum budget from the bride in making the dress? Or can he work on the bride’s budget? I saw his work and its really impressive! Thank you!

November 21, 2013 at 1:39 pmHi Kryng! I think yes, he does. But he can definitely work on a bride’s budget, so I really suggest you set up a meeting with him so you can discuss your options =) Good luck!
