Fashion by the Wedding Designers of the Philippines (FWDP)

We named our group as Fashion by the Wedding Designers of the Philippines (FWDP). We made it this time! After a year of striving to form this, we have officially established our league. I'm so happy and proud for the core group who stood all the way till we got this association finally formed. I hope those who did not push through as well as those even attempted to disrupt our momentum will realize that after all our efforts and determination to make this a union of professional designers, they will never and ever be part of this alliance. We are legitimate fashion designers whose passion creating wedding gowns as well as other formal occassion gowns gives us an overwhelming sense of fullfillment. We intend to focus on being responsible professionals in our field not just to our clients but also to our other colleagues as suppliers in the wedding industry. As the saying goes, "Two heads are better than one", but I'm very certain that at this very moment, "Twelve heads are better than one". One of our more important objective is to maintain our level of creativity, identity, quality and dedication to our work and potential clients and not just focusing on the monetary gains the bridal industry has opened for us.
I cannot imagine designers accepting so much clients and not sacrifice his/her sense of creativity and more importantly their dedication to their work and making each piece of wedding ensemble so called a "work of art". I believe in the creativity of every artist and their being personalized approach to their potential clients. We all have our saturations and limits. Sacrificing price for creativity, dedication and identity for each wedding is such a pity for many brides. Their wedding celebration is one of the most important milestone in a person's life and that we designers becomes an integral part of this very significant human event. For most, its a once in a lifetime event and our share of expertise is very important to them. I hope bride A and her entourage is not wearing the same and exact copy design of bride H of the same designer which only differed from the color motif. It becomes so unfortunate. But it happens! A reality indeed.
We are here to stay! We will make it work! We hope to be in harmonious alliance with the other suppliers in the industry. We're all so excited about this. Every member is bent on doing his/her best in this common goal of ours.
