Steam kayo diyan! Bente-bente lang!

I love how imaginative and resourceful and helpful suppliers are.

During our wedding last Saturday, Jane (from our team) needed to prepare the bride’s preps dress. The bridal gown was from Veluz but the preps gown was from Cecilio Abad. Mejo nalukot yung preps gown sa byahe so we needed to have it pressed. And since the gown was not from Veluz, it was not the job of her team members to press the gown. So syempre sa amin ang bagsak ng trabaho. (Promise, my team members are all experts when it comes to steam pressing gowns! Not that it’s actually part of our job pero syempre when push comes to shove, we do it. And hindi lang steam pressing… altering, cutting, hemming, etc. Hahaha! Kaya we love suppliers like Veluz and Cecilio kasi we know we can count on them to help. Usually kasi kami-kami lang eh.)

And although alam namin na hindi nila trabaho, Jane still asked Ms. Lempot of Veluz’s team for her opinion (and help! Hihihi!) kasi natatakot kami since chiffon. (We love her team eh! They are always so helpful!). As expected hindi nga pwede ordinary plantsa. So Jane asked the hotel’s housekeeping department for a steamer. Syempre wala. Jane told Ms. Lempot that there’s an electric kettle available.  She was thinking na magpapakulo na ng tubig. Desperate times call for desperate measures! Hahaha! At first, baka hindi daw kaya but when Ms. Lempot saw na maliit lang pala yung kettle, ay go na! The result, a bride in a well-pressed preps gown!

So there! Our team learned a very handy way of steaming gowns that day! Kudos to Ms. Lempot and to Jane! Ang init nung kettle ha!
