Flowers - - - - - Check

Days Left: 63 days as of today

As per schedule Charles, Lara (our coordinator) & I went to dangwa to visit the Florist that lara recommended.

When we went to the shop the owner, Ate Lanie, showed us some pictures of the bouquets and set up in the church that they made. We started envisioning the flowers/bouquets for the ento since I don't know what I want yet for my bouquet. She showed me every flower that she is saying or suggesting. Beforehand I told Lara that I don't know anything about flowers that's why I asked her to accompany us with the florist for her help. So the two of them combined their powers with everything. They just show me pictures for me to see what is what. When we agreed with the flowers to be used for everyone including me and also for the church. Ate Lanie started computing. Lara immediately said "Ate major major discount ha, may isa pa akong kasal na dadalin sayo" we all laughed and she didn't hesitated with the discount. Thank you ate.

So here's our output:

Bride - handtied with Hydrengea blue & Green Carnations.

MOH - 2 stems White Calla Lillies

2 Mothers - Wrist with carnations and gerbera

7 Ninangs - Wrist with Gerbera white & Botton Mums

4 Bridesmaids - Pomander with White Botton Mums

3 Secondary Sponsors - Pomander with white Botton Mums

4 Flower Girls - White Botton Mums in Tin Cans

Church:

8 pcs - Tree with Pomander for the aisles

2 pcs - One sided for the aisles

Freebies:

Loose Petals

Throw Away Bouquet

Car Bouquet

Offertory

We just need to ask the Church if what time they can set up and if they have swags available.

Thanks for all the freebies and the Major major discount.

P.S.

Ate Lanie I will not forget the free bridal bouquet for Lara for her wedding, 38 pcs handtied tulips for her bouquet. :)

Busy Busy Busy

Days Left: 64 days as of today

For the past few days Charles and I have been very busy. Since he is in a call center industry and have a flexy sched. He would go to work at 3am and he would pick me up to work by 12nn eat our lunch and head off to wherever we need to go.

July 4

Went to Sulo Riviera to do some ocular. They have really nice lobby and rooms no grand staircase.

They only have 2 floors with 6 Suites & the rest are all Deluxe rooms.

Deluxe Room (Single or Twin Sharing) Php 6,754 nett.

It's a bit small for me but it will be good enough for Charles & his brother.

Jr. Suite Php 12,280 nett.

Great room, and color is our motif... :) Spacious enough for my family, photgraphers, videographers, HMUA and coordinator. I like this one.

Ambassador Suite ( 1 Bedroom or 2 Bedrooms) 1BR Php 14,736 nett, 2BR Php 19,648 nett

This is like a condo already. It is really really big. Plus they have a terrace that they can fix up for more picture moments. You can accommodate during your preps time up to I think 20 people there and still have room for your "kalats"

NOTE: As for their policy for photo shoots they have an additional fee of Php 3,000 on top of the room-rates. Meaning you can take pictures anywhere on the hotel as long as you want.

Rates are inclusive of Buffet Breakfast for 2.

After our rainy afternoon ocular at Sulo. We went to SM North and visited our coordinator since they have a Jewelry shop there. We just showed her some updates regarding the wedding. And scheduled a trip to Dangwa on July 7 (thursday).

July 5

Went to look for Charles' Parochial Church. At first we thought it was St. Peter, as told by her mom, When he went there last Sunday St. Peter said that it's Another Church. When he went to that church it was closed during Sundays and Mondays. So we went there tuesday. After almost an hour of waiting we found out that it's not that church also. Last Church that we went to is the one nearest to their house. Funny thing is Jeepney's, taxi's, motorcycles and more come and go to that Semi-village? when we stopped at the "guard house" and asked for directions and we where about to go he asked for 10 pesos because they have some roads to fix and everything. I don't want to argue anymore because we are really behind schedule and we wasted almost 2 hours of our time just to give Charles' Banns. Finally it's the right Church. He can get the Banns on the 19th for Php 100.

After that we went to Holy Spirit drive to deliver some invitations specially to one of our Ninangs. Then rain started pouring hard. We can't see anything anymore so we decided to stop at National Q. Ave first. Bought some Cartolina's for DIY and Sponsor's pen.

When the rain stopped we went to Yam Cha to make a reservation on Sunday July 10 for the very stressful and nerve racking "PAMAMANHIKAN".

Yes 2 months to go before the wedding and we will only do the Pamamanhikan. :)

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

Meeting with Lara

Days Left: 176 days as of today

Last Saturday (March 12) we had our meeting with our coordinator and I asked my MOH to accompany us so that she could meet her as well. Good thing I have my MOH beside me because Charles is not very much hearing what we are saying, he keeps on leaving us and walking around the mall... :) Oh Men!!!!!

The meeting went well. She gave me the name of a Florist because I think that's the only missing link for our wedding. We are scheduled to go to dangwa on the 26th.

We go over the suppliers that we booked already and the payments that we made. We noted some questions that need to be asked especially with the church. That's about it so far.

Coordinator - - - - Check

Days Left: 247 days as of today

It's official I have my wedding coordinator. Last December 29, 2010 we paid the 50% already. Since Lara (our coordinator) is our classmate's sister she gave me a discounted rate for a Turn over wedding coordination. We are opting only for the on-the-day coordinator.

Even before we get her as our coordinator no contract signing and all she is already helping us scout for suppliers and she frequently texts us regarding our wedding. She's also the first person we told that our wedding will be moved.

Our next meeting would be February to give her the update with our wedding preps.

Bugdet: Just right

Comment: She's very very accommodating and helpful
