I Gotta Feeling!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. After I saw this,

I vowed to myself not to expose myself to another

round of embarrassment. See what love can do? Lol.

ENJOY!!! 

Black-themed wedding

Rarely do we get to see a wedding with black as the motif. It is quite risky actually. Details must be carefully planned, otherwise it might bring the mood down from festive to gloomy. But this wedding in New York pulled off a perfect black-themed wedding. 

Just say YES!

Our proposal pics got featured in today's issue of the Manila Bulletin. The team from Wedding Essentials saw our pics from the website of our official photographer Mark Cantalejo. And they decided to include our pics in their article.

We are so ecstatic when we knew about this! We got feedback from the kids who were part of this shoot and they were all happy and thrilled to see their faces on the newspaper! =)

Special thanks go to Sly Climaco, our videographer for coming up with this unique concept. Also, our heartfelt thanks to the kids and teachers of Dynamic Minds Learning House, Inc..

Getting Married?

Yesterday, I was browsing through my clearbook of wedding stuffs. "Stuffs" would mean the contracts with different wedding vendors, the receipts and the most dreading computation of the wedding budget.


Out of curiosity, I summed up all our expenses to see whether we were just within our estimated budget or not. True enough, we were 'just within' the budget.


So how did we do it? For me, the most crucial part of the wedding preparation is the budgeting. Patience is the minimum requirement for one to surpass this challenge.

Here are some tips that I would like to share to would-be couples who are planning on getting married:

1. Research. Internet is one of the most convenient way of knowing who's who in the wedding industry. A lot of wedding suppliers have a website or facebook fanpage where they showcase their works. Know the contact details of the supplier and dedicate some time to read the reviews or comments.
2. Ask around. Once you have a few wedding suppliers in mind, then it is time for you to ask around. Ask your friends, friend's friends, officemates, etc. If you are lucky to have a wedding coordinator-friend, might as well give her a call.
3. Attend Bridal Fairs. At least once a year, a bridal fair is organized where one can get discounts and freebies once booked. We were lucky to attend to bridal fairs, where we met our photographer and videographer. We also got our photobooth from the bridal fair. Even if you are months and months away from your target date, it is best to pay these fairs a visit so that you can talk to as many suppliers as you want, get their brochures for future references and if you like what they have offered, book right away to avail of the discounts and freebies.
4. Compare. Don't just settle for one particular wedding vendor. Canvass, canvass and canvass for some more. Don't be scared or ashamed to keep on inquiring for their "best" price (Best means, the best negotiated price). See what one supplier can offer that the other cannot for relatively the same price and see what works best for you.
