Emil Ocampo - Wedding Couturier

After Pong proposed and we had agreed on the date of the wedding, I already took the chance of researching for different wedding suppliers. I envision my wedding to be a special gathering of our families and closest friends. Having this, I would like it to be as simple as possible while achieving the dream wedding I’ve also thought of having.

Booking our suppliers was not that difficult, since we are decided to have the wedding in Batangas. We already have the church, reception, make up artist, photographer, videographer and band; the only problem I had was that I still didn’t have my couturier. I’ve been searching for various designers in the internet; however, none of them seem to catch my attention. I have to mention that I am taking into consideration the budget of my gown since I don’t want to put all the money in my dress. I want to keep some for our honeymoon so I am looking for a good designer who can design my preferred wedding dress within my budget. Luckily, one of the soon to be brides mentioned Emil Ocampo in a wedding forum. She described how professional and flexible Emil is, who draws design based on what the bride wants. I’ve seen some of his samples and that was the moment I said to myself, “Finally, I think I have my wedding designer!”.

Pong and I went to his office in Sta. Cruz, Manila. He showed me the design of my wedding gown based on some samples that I sent him. He drafted 2 wedding gowns, and I chose the one with the modern touch. :) I decided that Emil will also make the entourage dresses and Pong’s barong. I am so happy that I have booked almost all the important suppliers in my wedding. I just can’t wait for that special day where I’ll walk down the aisle and marry the most wonderful man in my life, Pong.

  1. Hi Ms. Hanee! My fiancee is having a bit of a problem in her wedding dress design as she cannot make her mind due to lots of ideas flooding her mind. Also, the fact that we are presently moving on a budget. She's not telling me those things but i guess when you truly love someone you just feel it when something is wrong. We still have no photographer and videographer hope you can can also help us with that. We would love to hear your ideas as well. Please kindly send me an email (rddurero@ymail.com) if ever you are free. We really want to contact Mr. Emil Ocampo. Hope to hear from you soon. For my future wife definitely needs help... and i want to help her out. By the way, she have no idea whatsoever that i'm trying to help her. =) - Cheers!

  2. Hi Romar! I sent you an email but unfortunately it didn't go through. Before I also had a hard time looking for a couturier but I joined the Weddings@Work and found Emil Ocampo's contact details. I received good feedback from the previous brides who had their dresses made by Emil. I can give you his contact details and if you need help to get in touch with him, I can arrange it for you. Here's his contact number, 09175984969. If it's okay with you, may I ask what's your budget for the Photography and Videography? My supplier is Jaypee Pasaylo from Redefine Weddings. He's actually the 3rd photographer for Jason and Joanne Arquiza. If you want I can give you his contact # and location so can check out his works.

    Let me know if I can help you with your planning. I would be glad to help you and your future wife.
