Supplier Review: Bridal Wear

So I decided to continue my reviews even if its been months since our wedding. We're now into our 8th  month and a lot has happened and a lot is still happening. :) After someone commented on my first supplier review, I'm suddenly encouraged to continue on with this, no matter how late this maybe. After all, this post could still be of use to other bride-to-be's out there, especially those that doesn't want to sacrifice the quality because of the budget-constraints.

BRIDAL WEAR: Couture House
GRADE: 8/10

First of, I really believe that what a bride wears on her wedding day is her personality... gown-ified (if ever such a word exists...) What I mean is whatever the bride wears is a reflection of who she really is. Yes, the supplier is the one who actually creates but the final output is really more of the bride's concept. That is why it is very important that more than anything, a bride should get a couture that understands her: taste, budget-constraints, concerns, etc. With that said, here is a picture of my gown:

We got Couture House for a number of reasons: accessibility, friendliness of the staff (Ms. Leni the store manager) and willingness to work with my budget and design. I'm giving Couture House an 8 because I never expected the service I got for the budget I have. Seeing the finished gown, I can see that they did not skimped out on the material. Add to that the fact that they adorned it with more rhinestones than I expected just to give the gown the right sparkle to highlight me as the bride. They also provided me with on-the-day services that other suppliers don't provide when they're working on a very tight budget (a budget way below the usual amount they work on...) The add-ons such as bridal pouch and veil were also of quality.

The 2 points I took off the perfect score was for the fit of the gown. My gown was not snugly fit to me. I admit that part of it was my fault since by my 3rd fitting, scheduled a month before the wedding, I gained weight so the Couture House staff advised me to go on a diet while also promising that they would make some adjustments to the gown. No more fitting followed and on the day itself, the gown was a bit loose on the waist area, but not so loose that it would actually show in the pictures.

Overall, I was satisfied in getting the services of Couture House. They understood me and exerted a more than satisfactory effort on my gown.
