RTW and Gorgeous


Veluz RTW 2014 Collection 
from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

When a rebel bride dare say that she is toying with the idea of RTW, you could almost taste the uncomfortable silences, the judgmental eyes, the clearing of the throat, and the wrinkled nose. There's a stigma. And it's become the white elephant in the room. What more when you say RTW+taffeta. Oh the horror. 

Enter Veluz. She's always changed the game and she's at it again. There's a reason why she's landed on the now famous Buzz Feed article on the world's most beautiful detailed gowns list. She doesn't just make beautiful gowns. Her signature in every piece is impeccable and apparent. Rebellious in the ORIGINAL, as we said earlier this week. You know her trademark and you know she's got taste. In this 2014 RTW collection, she makes the word RTW something you would want to COVET. And that's saying something. And she's also done the unthinkable. She's made taffeta, gorgeously pretty again. It's the biggest comeback ever. On a more personal note, I was NEVER, EVER a fan of white bridal gowns and every RB reader knows that. But Veluz is probably the only designer that makes me want to wear white. And again, that's saying something ;)

But having had a first-hand experience of what went on during the latter part of the shoot, what's even more admirable about Veluz is how she could get an amazing pool of artists to collaborate with her with such love, passion, and positivity. It's a testament to not only how she is as a designer, but how she is as a person. Having said that, I'd like to applaud the creative team behind the shoot--most especially to Madge Lejano who was the brainchild of the bridal looks and creative treatments. Everything felt so rebelliously beautiful. Chandeliers hanging on trees, the most unconventional of models, the AHMAZING hair and makeup that is definitely not your usual bridal looks. And the video. So many emotions! 

Congrats to Veluz and the rest of the amazing team that worked on the RTW 2014 Collection Launch. Truly world class! 

This is only the beginning of the launch. Don't forget to add @veluzbride on Instagram to get updated on the catalogue and creative photos from the entire collection.

Gibb & Joel's Arabian Themed Wedding

"For brides planning their big day, being different has its pros and cons. What's important is that they won't have any regrets. When they do something rebellious, they have to make sure that it's something that they really want for themselves and not just to impress other people. It must be within their personality and style. Gibb is just a perfect example, her wedding is what she is...she is by heart, rebellious."

-- Photographer Michelle Pineda on Rebellious Bride Gibb


Today's wedding is such a treat! Not only because of the rebellious, vibrant wedding but also because we are actually changing things up a bit by having the perspective of the photographer as opposed to the bride's. Is there anything more thrilling, more exciting than a conceptualized Arabian wedding, the first-ever wedding to be done at the Penthouse of the Zuellig Building in Makati?!? The venue and theme alone made my jaw drop. But there's even more than that! Loving all the colors, the chillness of it all, and the beautiful creative bride! Let's get to it shall we? Before I start belly dancing here. Haha!



Rebellious Brides: What are the things about this wedding that made it memorable for you, as their photographer?

Michelle: Joel and Gibb's wedding is very memorable for me because when we had our first meeting, she said that she personally chose me out of the hundreds of photographers out there, no one recommended me to her, she just browsed my portfolio and liked my style. I love it when brides appreciate your art. 

I didn't know at first that she is a DJ but I noticed she's very articulate. And so when we discussed her wedding, I knew then that she is 100% rebellious--from her chosen venue, to her ideas, dos and dont's and the theme. She wanted everything captured as it was happening. No cheesy and heavy posing, which explains the lack of portraits in favor of candid shots. She is my most relaxed bride! Everything was laid back from preparation to the set-up of the venue. Despite being rebellious though, the photos showed that she didn't forget the essence of why she is being married, she is in love and she wanted to enjoy and share it with the people closest to their hearts.


RB: What made your couple "rebellious" and what's your advice for bride-to-bes when planning their big day?

First, getting married in the penthouse of the Zuellig building for both ceremony and reception was quite different. Gibb and Joel's wedding was actually the first wedding to be held there!

Second, during preparation the bride was ultra chill. Not very many brides are like that :)

Third, Gibb's chosen gown was not white and not the typical design. It was simple but it really accentuated her gorgeous body.

Fourth, All the guests really got into the spirit of the theme and were dressed to the nines!

Speaking of guests, nothing can be more unconventional than guests relaxing while having shisha, with the city view at night.

My advice is this: Be rebellious for yourselves and not just to impress other people.


Congratulations Gibb and Joel! And may your marriage be filled with color, excitement, happiness, surprises, and good vibes as your wedding! :)
