Entourage Gowns ... Check!

Looking for an entourage gown maker is not easy. Especially if you are working on a budget like me. Ento gowns is not one of my top priorities, thus, I have to find a good,reliable yet affordable gown maker for my entourage. Someone who could execute the designs that I want for my ento and someone who works fast as 3 of my ento are based abroad ( Secondary sponsor, flower girl and bridesmaid) and will be coming perhaps a week before the wedding.

I searched in w@w  for like around 1 straight week and devoted my time just scouting the net for possible gown maker within my range. Good thing I raised my concern to my coordinator, she suggested I try Jheff Fashion House. I decided to take a look at their multiply site and I must say, I'm quite impressed with their gown designs. I am already eyeing Divisoria since some of my w@w sisses have found reliable gown designers there but since I saw Jheff's works, I decided to give it a shot and email them the ento gowns I like and ask for a quote.

Haggle.. haggle and haggle more... we both compromised with the final amount for 13 people (excluding PS). Their shop is conveniently located in the middle of Antipolo and Pasig: Cainta - - my entourage from Antipolo and my in-laws from Pasig will not have problems with the place since the shop is inside a subdivision.  I paid the downpayment and scheduled a meeting with ate Ana mid-November just for me to see their shop and some of their sample gowns. Ate Ana is very easy to deal with. She's very accommodating and she shares ideas on how to cut cost and even suggested gown designs for my ento. By the way, here's the gown inspirations for my entourage:

Bridesmaid dress

Maid of Honor

Secondary Sponsors

Flower girls

 I still don't have designs for the mom's gowns since I will let them choose their designs. According to ate Ana, its best to choose a design which has the same fabric material for all the gowns. In my case, I decided to have the gowns in Chiffon material but we will have to discuss that in detail as when I visited the shop, there's a client with her ento scheduled for measurement. I just went there to see some samples and I have a 2pm appointment that day.  We will discuss some other time. I might request as well to put some bling studded brooch to match my jewel-themed wedding.
