Behind-The-Design: Teal & Gold Wedding

If you follow me on Instagram, then I’m sure you’ve already seen some of my designs for my clients. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t blogged about any of them for quite some time now. It’s making me miss my “Behind-The-Design” blog posts which is why I promise to set aside time for them from now on. Today, I want to show you the designs I did for one of my client’s wedding. Meet my blushing bride, Jennifer.

Jennifer first came to me last year to ask me to design her wedding gown and bridal entourage. She already had an idea of the kind of designs she wanted when we first sat down for a design session. For her wedding gown, she only had one requirement–that it’s skirt be adorned with ruffles all over. If ruffles are what the bride wants, ruffles are what the bride gets!

Because there’s already so much ruffles on the skirt of Jennifer’s wedding gown, I wanted to keep everything else simple. For Jennifer’s frame, we went with an asymmetric cut top adorned with dainty beads that trickle all the way down to her skirt’s ruffles.

For Jennifer’s entourage, she wanted the girls to be in teal gowns mixed with gold accents and the moms in rose gowns. Aside from the usual beadwork, we decided to embellish these gowns with laser cut appliques to make them even more striking.

I love designing for flower girls. They are just too adorable for words! For Jennifer’s little flower girls, I went with pearls and bows to go with their innocent charm.

    Hi Camille! :) This design is awesome! I think every bride would love to wear your designs. Anyhow, I’m now seeking your advice. I’m attending a wedding this October and I wanna wear a lace black dress, do you think color black is appropriate? Thankssssss!! :)

      Thanks Chi! :) Depends :) If it’s a Chinese wedding then maybe not. Other than that, I think black won’t be a problem!

    Man, I hope you’re still in the business of designing maybe 6 or 7 years from now. Me & my boyfriend have been steady for so long but we’ve both decided not to get married until we both pass the bar exam, so, yeah. Hahaha. I’d love to wear a wedding gown by you!

    This wedding gown are just so gorgeous, Ms Camille! I super love the ruffles and the beads detail are just too awesome! This gown is perfection! Just wondering, how long does is take you and your team to finish this gown? I can see all the sweat and tear you guys put in this gown (but i hope there’s no tears though).. I went awww when i see the flower girl’s dress.. SO Cute! I love the pearl and bow! and the laser cut design are pretty too! Everything is just too gorgeous!!! Do you accept inquiry from outside The Philippines? LOL.. who knows I might want to hire you to design my wedding gown.. =D (but first thing first, gotta find my Mr Right first) haha.. and oh, do post more about your design! =)

    Hi Camille,

    I love your designs. I wonder if you could give me a rough estimate for a wedding dress or a complete entourage.
    Hoping to have my future dress done by Coexist.
    Thank you! :)

    Oh wow! I love laser-cut stuff but I’ve only seen them in accessories. This is such a great way to incorporate them into dresses! I can’t get over how beautiful these are. You (and your Coexist crew) have got talent!

    Holy golly cowlly!!! O_O
    Pwede pala talagang iba-iba ang mga wedding gown designs. Ahhhh. Naku! Baka wala nang magandang design kapag ako na ang ikinasal! Nagawa na lahat. (Must.Get.Married.Asap!) Ngeeee. Must find groom pa pala dapat. Uh, boyfriend pa muna dapat.

    I love the beadwork and the ruffles. Gusto ko yung ano, pagiging sexy ng dating ng gown as it transitions to ruffles. It’s so smooth. Hindi pilit. And infairness, hindi bulky. Ilang oras na akong nakatingin sa mga picture. I can’t seem to get enough. You’re such a genius!

    I totally exclaimed when i saw the bride’s dress! It’s so…pretty is an understatement. It makes me want to day dream about my wedding with prince charming in the future. If that time comes, i would really want to hire you Miss Camille! I’m sure you made the bride’s day more than memorable because if there is one thing that is most important for a girl to be wed, next to the groom and the ring, it’s the wedding dress. You’ll only wear it once so you might as well savor every moment that you are wearing it.

    Upon seeing all your designs that you’re posting, i keep on imagining and asking myself if you’re getting married, how will the whole entourage goes by? Seriously, I’m so excited seeing you, wearing your own design of a wedding gown. Hahahaha Haven’t you asked yourself the same thing too? or Have you ever imagined that too? I think you’ll be loveliest bride ever!

    Waaaaw! You really have the golden hands, or the golden mind. It’s amazing how the beads worked their way down the ruffles intricately and not abruptly. I want you to design mine but I shall find someone to marry first. Hahaha. Maybe on my prom, but I don’t want to burden my parents because we don’t have enough money for that. Hahaha. Anyway, you really are perf. Keep inspiring us. Thank you very much. :D <3

    I really love how you did the ruffles SO NEATLY! Parang may tendency kasi maging bulky yung skirt pag ruffles pero in this case, ang ayos at super hindi bulky at all! I can only imagine your fulfillment after seeing your work of art on her!

      Yes it was very rewarding :) I couldn’t go too wild on the ruffles because Jennifer is petite :)

    First of all: AWESOME DESIGNING SKILLS. Level = Camille Co

    I was starstruck yesterday, given that you remembered me and my comments here at your blog. “This is it! Peace!” Yeah. That’ll last a lifetime <3

    I love the details that you've incorporated here Ate Camille! The beads, the color, the design on their gowns! Awesooome!

    I hope that I can afford one of your designed gowns if I'll get married. (Someday soon, hopefully!)

    You are a great designer Cams. Can you be my wedding designer someday? But first I must find prince charming. hahaha. Pero seriously, ang ganda nung gown! I love the beads that trickled down the ruffles. Tapos yung sa mga bridesmaids/ entourage I loved the laser cut appliques. I especially adored the ones that cover the neck up to the back. They look like accessories but better. Ahh! I’m rambling. Oops. I just loved everything! Jennifer was blessed to have you.
