Booked: Photo and Video

Finally! We now have our Photo and Video supplier. Booked them at the recent bridal fair that we've attended. Among all the P/V suppliers and booths at the fair, Macromedia Photography got me interested. Aside from their affordable rates, they got lots of freebies :) Upon browsing their sample albums, we've noticed that they got a nice work. I have a good feeling that they'll make our wedding pictures beautiful. Lei is so nice and accommodating. So then and there, we made our reservation to blocked the date.We availed of their promo rates with free SDE's, prenup and so much more :)

Happiness! One major supplier down.

You can check out their works HERE.

Disclamer: The site is outdated but as you may see, they got nice works.

On Choosing the Right Wedding Dress

Choosing a wedding dress is one of the most exciting phases of wedding planning. Every soon-to-be bride is excited thinking about finding the right wedding dress, where to shop or who's designer to get.  Here is some of the information that will help you find the perfect wedding dress for your big day.

When to Start

Get started as early as you can so that you can devote ample time for the fittings. Wedding dresses are usually custom made and hence, need several alterations before it fits perfectly. Though some may prefer ready-to-wear, off- the-rack, or hand-me-down wedding dresses. In case you have less time for custom made, opt for something simple.

First Step

- Think about your style and imagine how your wedding dress would be like. Write down few adjectives that best describes how you want to look. Ex. vintage, sophisticated, sexy, royal, elegant etc.

- Determine which design element will complement your body. Specify what you absolutely do not want in your wedding dress. Ex. ball gown silhouette or beading.

- Set your budget and stick to it. A general guideline is to alot 10% of your overall wedding budget.

- Choose the time of day and formality of your wedding. Keep in mind your theme (if you have) and the season.

Next Step

- Scout for a wedding gown designer or couturier. Call and make appointments. Take note about the prices and wedding dress descriptions.

- Book your gown designer/ couturier. Ensure that you sign the contract and got the receipt for payments.

- Have your designer take your body measurements. Bust, waist, hips, length. Decide if you want a long train or veil.

Here Comes the Fittings

- Schedule for first fitting along with a sharp-eyed and honest friend.

- You need to bring the shoes that you are going to wear or with a similar heel height you plan to wear on your wedding day. See if you can walk or move comfortably.

- Schedule more fittings until the wedding dress is a perfect fit.

- Remind your designer about the date of delivery.

Lastly

- Try to maintain your weight as possible. Better yet, forget about the diet, wear that dress, girl.. don't let the  dress wear you!

Happy preps!

Food tasting at Oceana- Done

We've scheduled an early food tasting at our reception while hubby's still here. As much as possible we want to accomplish together some of our to-do list before he goes onboard again. So there, we left home before noon, headed Oceana  for our food tasting. They've prepared a set of our chosen menu. Some still need to improve and some are perfect for our taste. Since our cake is also included in the package, we've discussed about the designs and colors. No confirmation yet, final design to follow.

dessert heaven :-)

Here's what i love the most- my fave- Cheesecake!

baked cherry cheesecake <3

Booked: Margarush

*grabbed from margarush fb*

Margarush is short for margarita crush. We first encounter them during the weddings and debut bridal fair at Megamall. They're the first to serve margarita crush in the country, as what they claim. Margarush is the sister company of Niceprint.

Hubby and I seldom drink alcoholic drinks but since we're looking for a mobile bar for our event, we think that this might be a good alternative. So after a free taste, hmm.. we love it! The taste of margarita was perfect. I love the classic lime as according to them was the best seller.

So without a further ado, we booked them instantly. Ms. Lizelle was very accommodating and ma"chika". I like her :) I can say, that it's important to have a first good impression with the supplier to have that "this is it" feeling. It's always nice to be at least have a good vibes with the supplier itself before booking their services.

Since we booked them at the fair , we got  a discount..yipee!

Here's the package inclusion:

.
Good for 150 pax, 2 flavors (there are 6 flavors to choose from) and 100 pcs customized cups with couple's name)

Hoping our guests will love this on our big day. Can't wait.
