WHY WE CHOSE IT: 


(post from our wed site before..)   

Wedding ring or wedding band is a metal ring indicating the wearer is married. Honestly, this is one of the hardest tasks that Ian and I encountered. Ian is also meticulous when it comes to our wedding details, he make sure that everything is in order and worthy. We promised that we will book all our suppliers at Bridal Fair to avail discounts and freebies, so last January after our scrumptious lunch with our principal sponsors we went to a bridal fair at SMX. Some people told us to try scouting at Ongpin in Manila since they are much cheaper than other branded stores, but we decided not to take the risk for we are not familiar whether the rings are authentic or not.

Finding a perfect wedding ring is not easy; I remember one time when Ian told me not to rush in picking our wedding rings since we'll be wearing our rings for the rest of our lives. So after we explored the area, we opted to inquire to the sales person of Golden Hills. As soon as we arrived at their stall, Ian chose 3 different styles of rings from the wide array of their designs; all of them have a cut diamond stone in front.

First - White Gold Rough Finish with White Gold Lining plus round-cut diamond stones.

Second - White Gold Rough Finish with Yellow Gold Lining plus round-cut diamond stones.

Third - White Gold Rough Finish with Yellow Gold Lining on upper and lower plus round-cut diamond stones with 1 piece diamond inside the ring.

We both like a two-toned ring with a diamond stone; of course I want our wedding ring to look the same. What we have in mind is a white gold ring with yellow gold lining plus a diamond stone in the middle more or less 4 stones.

Finally, after 30 minutes of discussing with Ian (with matching picture taking of the 3 chosen rings), we chose the third option. According to the sales person, we had the right decision, since having a diamond stone inside the ring is unique and lucky. Wow!

The sales lady asked us what should be engraved on our rings, we only 1 concept in our mind to put our nickname with our wedding date in the inner rod.

As part of our agreement, Golden Hills offers lifetime free cleaning service and resizing plus we got a free arrhae. Wow! I'm so excited to see and fit our lifetime band! woohhoo!!!!

WHY WE CHOSE IT: 





(post from our wed site before..) 

3 months left before our wedding and about 90% of the needed suppliers are booked but still I really feel that I'll need some extra help especially with our "little things" / "DIY" stuffs. I'm so blessed for having a very supportive friends and officemates who helped me in preparing our big day, actually I have friends who offered to act as our coordinator but I refused not because I don't trust them but I want them to enjoy that special day. With 150-200 guests, I'm definitely going to need a lot of help from the professionals on that day of our wedding.

I'm very meticulous bride; so hiring a coordinator is one of the priorities for having a happy, organized and stress-free wedding day. Well, I want everything to be perfect. Honestly, I was really hands-on in preparing our wedding because I want to make sure that Ian and I will experience the wedding that we've dreaming of.

So after discussing this issue, Ian and I thought that we really need to hire an on-the day wedding coordinator. I began to do my task to search for the BEST coordinator and checking on the feedback given at the forum. I'm scared when I read some horror and terrible stories about their coordinator, they have the power to make or break your wedding. So just to be safe, I was really picky in choosing our OTD coordinator.

I called a lot of the coordinators on our list, some of them offer additional packages that include planning assistance, and some of them are pricey which is out of our budget. I even called my friend's OTD during their wedding but I really disappointed with them. (**sigh**)

I was able to meet and booked for my HMUA at Somerset in Makati when Rookie approaches me, He is Mitch's loving husband who entertains me during my booking with her wife (Mitch is currently busy with her upcoming make-up classes). After I settled the payment, Rookie ask me if we already have OTD, I told him about what happened to our prospect coordinators, after hearing our stories he immediately offered their service. At first, I was hesitant to avail their service because I was alone that day and I need to confirm with Ian first before saying "YES" to them.

I like Rookie, we have a good rapport and I instinctively feel at ease with him. He is frank and he is easy to talk with. So after discussing with Ian about his offer, we decided to book for their team to be part of our special day.

Here are the reasons why we chose Glam.Ph:

1. They only accepts one event per day.
2. Glam.Ph package is within our budget plus extra service of emceeing.
3. They are easy to reach by phone, email as well as in Facebook (they are my friends now!). Rookie try to make himself available and he respond promptly to all our queries.
4. They are very organized group since Glam.Ph is a fab-fusion company dedicated to deliver excellent service in the field of publication, events and fashion. I know Rookie with his team will assured their clients of their personal sincerity, flexibility and professional service. I also trust that his support team are selected and very well trained individuals who commit themselves to brighten and lighten up the loads of our preparation until the last minute of the wedding.

Well, I can tell that he's very organized, professional and I believe that he loves and truly knows what he's doing. I'm so excited for our first official meeting this coming June.

WHY I CHOSE HER: 


(post from our wed site before..)

After I booked for my wedding gown designer, I promise myself to give extra effort and careful in searching for HMUA; so as early as June 2011, I started to canvass and research for the BEST HMUA. Of course, I want to be the most beautiful girl / bride on our special day. I sent emails as well as text messages to a lot of HMUA and to tell you the truth, I was surprised to their rates. Ian and I even checked the booth section in the bridal fair and check their portfolio, but one friend told me that pictures can be very deceiving since make-up artist can now use photoshop to makes photos more eye-catching.

Until I received an email from glam.ph, informing me if I want to check the "TIME TO GIVE BACK" promo of Michelle Camaclang. Without any hesitation, I immediately check the link and surprisingly about her promo. (taken from her website)

"Thank you everyone for being a part of this successful journey-- as a wedding hair and makeup artist, with the count of 126th bride, as of June 20th (my anniversary date) and counting my "bride-to-be" listed in my calendar it is so heartwarming to see that you girls have been part of the color artistry by mitch camaclang diary.."


To sum up:

Bride and Groom plus 5 extra heads
Airbrush upgrade for the Bride
Grand EB to all Mitch's Bride
Basic Make-up / Personality Makeover
2 free flower girls (total of 9 heads in all)
for Php 10,000

After I read her blog, I immediately sent our wedding info and few minutes she replies right away. After exchanging lots of emails and some clarifications about her promo, I decided to book her. Mitch is very nice and vocal person when it comes to her work principle. I love the way she puts make-up with her brides, I appreciate the way she give information about make-up and I even read some reviews about her work and happy to see good comments from her previous clients. I add her in facebook and follow her fan page too. But what I really admire is her professionalism; she doesn't entertain other calls while at the peak of work which is not related to her current working client. But when she's done with what her doing, she immediately response and explain her work principle. Very professional right?! Now, believe me I made the right decision in booking her and super excited to see my look on our wedding day!

WHY I CHOSE IT:




(post from our wed site before..)

As soon as we announced our engagement to our family, I immediately look and research for my couture that will make me look like a princess on our wedding day. Honestly, it was very hard task that every bride will encounter. I read some reviews and even started to post in the Weddings-at-Work forum asking for recommendations for designers and found out that there are brides who really spent thousands of money for their wedding gown but for me with my very tight budget, hiring a famous designer is out of my list and just stick to my budget.

I only have simple criteria for my dream wedding gown which I saw at Cosmopolitan Magazine (Model: Kristine Hermosa). I want it to be sweetheart neckline with princess style skirt and chapel train accentuated with beads in front and back.

I emailed 8 designers and all of them emailed me back with their proposal. All of their works are beautiful, but none of them fit my budget.. **sigh** Happily, one of them really stood out to me, Last May 31, 2011 I received a message from Concha España with her standard rates. As soon as I open her proposal, I feel that she is the "ONE" that I'm looking for. She told in her email that she can customized everything for me just send her my reference / prefer design. Wow! I search for her website and found out that her work spoke for herself. They were just plain GORGEOUS!

Concha accommodated my request, I even sent her some pictures of my desire gown and she immediately replied and gave her rates. What I really like with her is that she also explains to me the materials that she will going to use. After several emails, we decided to meet each other to discuss my dream gown. Ian and I went to their house and finally met her, Concha is very gracious lady and an easy person to talk to. She is very generous in giving us suggestions about my gown, she even suggested using detachable gathered / sheared tulle for me to have different design on reception. As soon as I got the sketch of my wedding gown, I am tempted to upload it but I really want it to be a surprise especially for my groom. Haha.. For me, the design is simple, sophisticated and beautiful which suit my personality as a woman.

I'm so happy that she will be designing my dream wedding gown as well as the dresses for my whole female entourage. And I promise that we're all going to look gorgeous on that day!

Now, we are schedule to meet by February for the measurements. I'm so excited to wear my simple, chic and glamorous wedding gown in seven months.

WHY WE CHOSE IT:







I know some brides will agree to me that when it comes to musicians, there are lot of choices. There's Serenata Strings, Bernie Pasamba Group, String Minstrels, SJT Strings Ensemble and the famous Manila Philharmonic. I insist Ian that we need to hire musicians on our BIG day to make our wedding more romantic. To tell you the truth, I don't know where to start, who to choose among my list and how to decide.. **sigh**

I do lots of research as well as join the wedding group and asked them what their choices are. Some of them vote for Manila Philharmonic while some of them vote for Serenata Strings. Honestly, I want to book for the Manila Philharmonic but since they are too expensive and definitely way over our budget, we decided not to entertain the idea of booking them. Next is the SJT String Ensemble, their rates are cheaper than Manila Philharmonic but after several emails with them, I got no reply. Finally, I came across the site of Anima Strings (basically, I search for the best musicians in the Philippines), I listen to their performance specifically their version of "Umagang Kay Ganda", send an email to Roger and he immediate replied on my inquiry. Wow! He also includes their Repertoire in the proposal.

Anima Choir and Strings is composed of professional choral singers and intrumentalists who have extensive backgrounds in solo and ensemble performance. The members come from the tradition of multi-awarded choral groups, orchestras and top conservatories in Manila. All were former members of Ryan Cayabyab's San Miguel Master Chorale and San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra (2001 - 2006). Individually, each member is a professional musicians, having performed here and abroad. All are into other music-related endeavors (teaching voice and instruments, performing solo or with other groups, conducting choirs) in their free time from ANIMA.

Their rates were not expensive as we thought! very competitive, and definitely affordable. Ian and I decided to book them right away. We've made the down payment and signed the contract and it is now official. Anima Strings will play for us at the church ceremony and at the reception.

 WHY WE CHOSE IT: 





Looking for photographer and videographer can be quiet overwhelming. There's just so many of them! On fact, we are very strict ion booking them since we are semi-photographer.. Nyahaha.. (Remember, we are both member of F21 Manila who already did photo exhibit in SM Novaliches which sponsored by Canon with the help of Mr. John Chua)

To be honest, Nice Print Photography was our first choice. Hiring a wedding photographer of some famous celebrities like Ogie - Regine and John - Pricilla, Kyla and Ritch is our dream. They gotten international acclaim for their work and from what I see on their facebook site, their photos have been consistently good. But upon looking at their price tag, it was just unreasonable. They were out of the question.

Every time we attend Bridal fair, we always scout for the BEST photo/videographer. We wanted to see their works before deciding, the actual wedding book, guestbook and even the On-site video we a lot 80% of our time watching those videos. We were carefully looking at aisles of both photo and videographers and their samples, some were good some weren’t all that bad but as I said, we are very strict and choosey, and for some reason or another, we just weren’t feeling that they are “THE ONE.” 

 Until we saw CD Worx Multimedia’s booth, their booth was simple decorated and classy, they put their sample blow up canvass and the video sample was displayed together with their sample wedding album and as we looked at each one, we really amazed how they capture photos. Fun, creative, magnificent and simply the BEST! Their staffs are very accommodating, every questions we asked they are confident to answer it. But before anything else, we wanted to know the persons behind the success of CD Worx, and we found out that it was established in 2002 by husband and wife Bernard and Iris Medina. They started off as freelancers who continuously honed their craft in wedding photography until they created a style that is unique to them. Wow! Nice couple like us, same interest in life! Ian and I know that being husband and wife, they understand what other couples want from their wedding photo-video. As such, their trained photographers and videographers know also what and how to capture the most important wedding moments.
We were both excited to work with Iris and Bernard on our special day, I know they will capture the most important moments during our wedding ceremony it is when Ian and I profess our love for each other and make a vow of commitment to share the rest of our lives together. I know that CD Worx will go an extra mile to make sure that every single second is well documented.

Well, we have thoroughly reviewed CD Worx website and have researched on what other couples had to say about him, gladly all of them agree with what I am saying with CD Worx. We met up with Iris twice and have exchanged numerous text messages with her. Actually, she also sends me and Ian inspirational text messages every day!

Now, the pressure is yours CD Worx! Haha..

WHY WE CHOSE IT: 

Deciding where to hold our reception is another challenging task for us. Our first option is to have a garden reception in Patio Victoria in Intramuros because it has Old World charm ambiance, cobblestones walkways with antique wooden gate plus old fashioned fountain that makes the place perfect venue for wedding. Patio Victoria has two gardens and air-conditioned banquet hall which can accommodate 150-200 guest, but since all of us know that we have unpredictable weather and July is still a rainy season month, we don't want to risk all our guest to be uncomfortable and being hassle during our wedding day and for this reason booking at Patio Victoria was removed from our list.

Next option is Ibarra's Garden in Padre Faura, Manila. This place is a classic antique house built in the 1920s inspired with American Art Deco and a quaint garden converted into an ideal place for special events    like wedding. With four locations all over Metro Manila, Ibarra's Venues are easily accessible and very convenient for guests. Each venue has its own distinct personality that suits your preference. Ibarra's Garden  is now air-conditioned meaning even when the rain falls our guest still comfortable and stress-free from being  soaked, not only that they offers complete packages, so when we found out that Ibarra's is joining in Bridal Fair at PICC, we decided to book right away.



There are four wedding packages that Ibarra's offers; the Standard, Deluxe, Superior, All Inclusive Wedding and International Gala Wedding Package, each packages has different varieties of food. We choose Superior Wedding Package which includes Buffet Meals for 150 Persons plus use of amenities as follows:

My God, I can’t believe that I had three bridal shower within a week; 1st courtesy of my former officemates at First Data, 2nd from my officemates at Friendster and last but not the least, a warm and blissful mini bridal party from Ian’s officemates not only for me but for also for the groom. I’m so overwhelmed! 

I don’t know Ian’s officemates personally, but based on his stories I knew they are all kind and cool. I received an email from Gen asking when we will be available for dinner.  I replied to her stating our schedules for the week and after finalizing it, we ended having scrumptious dinner last Wednesday night. 

Gen's Invitation via email

I arrived late at the venue since the rain started to fall (as in super lakas with matching kulog and kidlat pa), Roan, Gen and Camille are in-charge on our orders while Ian and Olyn are in-charge in taking photos.
Our orders are as follows:
 
Silican Chicken Salad 





Silican Chicken Salad - Chicken breast, crispy romaine, mangoes, red grapes, and pine nuts tossed in a creamy lemon-mustard dressing.
 
Shrimp Fra Diablo


Shrimp Fra Diablo - is one of their specialty, consist of Fettuccine pasta sauteed with shrimp, garlic, pine nuts, spinach, asparagus and feta cheese in pomodoro cream sauce. 

Fettuccine Alfredo

Sea Bass Mediterraneo

Sea Bass Mediterraneo - Angel hair pasta sauteed in butter, olive oil, black olives, capers and tomatoes crowned with a pan-fried sea bass fillet

Angus Steak Pizza


The big size pizza according to Roan is not listed on their menu; I think they saw it online. 

After our scrumptious dinner, Ian and I are both surprised when they told us that we are going to play a little game. Wow! The game was simple but funny, it’s about how we know each other. So Gen give us separate clean bond paper and pentel pen and all we need to do is just answer all the questions that they will ask. Kinabahan ako baka magkamali ako.. Haha.

As far as I remember, here are some questions that they asked:
1.       Kelan and Saan kayo nag meet?
2.       Ano yung damit ni Ian nung 1st kiss nyo?
3.       Saan ang kiliti ni Rackell?
4.       Ilan ang gusto nyong maging anak?
5.       Ano ang favorite dish ni Rackell?
6.       Ano yung event na kung saan both kayo umiyak?
7.       Anong araw ka sinagot ni Rackell?
8.       Kailan ang huling kiss nyo? Extra point pag may time. Haha
9.       Ano yung unang binigay ni Ian?
10.   Ano ang nakakapang init ng ulo ni Ian?
11.   Ano yung unang pinag awayan nyo ni Rackell?


The Jurors.. Haha

Kailangan talaga may explanation? Haha



Wow! Parehas na parehas kami ng sagot! :)



Well, I think we got 97% correct. Wow! Ganon pala namin kakilala ang isa’t isa. Haha. Actually, I really love the games, this is the 1st time that Ian and I played that kind of game, nakakatuwa pala sya.
While we are in the midst of happiness, the staffs of Itallianis sing a song for the couple on the other table. I guess they are celebrating their anniversary; our group joins and sings together while clapping our hands. Nakisali ba sa kantahan ng may kantahan.. Haha.


So we continue our game until one lady staff approach us and ask “Sino po yung malapit ng ikasal?”, followed by a plate of ice cream with note “Best Wishes”. Wow! I’m so touched!  Thank you Itallianis.
After our games, I cannot believe that other than the games they prepared, they also give us simple gifts. They handed me a sexy nighties for honeymoon while Ian received a notes from his officemates..  Wow! How sweet!


Happy Couple.. ♥

Notes from his officemates

NOTE: This post is rated SPG! Haha

Like what I had said on my previous post, I’m so blessed to have good friends who want me to be happy, friends / officemates who are excited for me on my wedding day. Yesterday, my officemates prepared a mini bridal shower for me at our office (Hello! Bridal shower during office hours?! Why not, kasabwat naman nila HR officer eh. Haha) Okay so here it goes, actually I already knew that they will throw me a bridal shower since I was the one who look for the naughty cake but I have no idea that they will prepare some food and short program. I thought that it’s just a simple picture taking and kulitan mode during lunch break.

Our original plan is do it on Thursday (which is today) unfortunately, Karen (HR Officer) changes her plan. Until now, I have no idea why she changes it from Thursday to Wednesday. Haha. It doesn’t matter, what important is my bridal shower was successful.

Ate Ana is in-charge of everything; she called ambers for Spaghetti, Barbecue and Chicken lollipop and drinks, while Edward and Jomar (our security guard) pick up the cake at Pasay Road. Everything goes well, even though they didn’t inform me about their plan, I feel that this celebration will be one of my happiest bridal shower.

Around 3:30pm when I got a phone call from Karen and instructed me to be there at her office since the party will start in a few minutes. (Party daw talaga oh!) As soon as I arrived at her room, the first thing that I noticed was the food (gutom na eh..) I was curious about the design of the cake, so I asked them if I can see it, but as usual they didn’t allowed me to look at it. Hhmm.. May plan pala sila sa akin gawin.. Haha. I really had no idea what’s waiting for me. Ate Ana and Jomar hold me, put a blindfold and instructed me to just follow what they will say. (OMG! Kinabahan talaga ako! Haha)

Waahh.. 

Katakot naman kc meron pang sinusubo sa bibig ko.. Haha

OMG! (Rated SPG)

Look at the picture, kawawa talaga ako.. Haha

As I was about to remove the blindfold, Jomar holds my hand tightly (kulang nalang lagyan nya ng posas kamay ko) Huhu. Karen, keep on putting icing on my lips (waahh.. kinilabutan talaga ako!), Gino and Ame are assigned to take photos, while others are just screaming and laughing all the time. Haha.
The Cake: One big crazy cake!

Blushing Bride

Kunwari nagulat.. Haha

Oh noh! I know it’s too obscene to post these photos, but hey it’s a bridal shower so what do you expect right?! Haha.  Anyway, this cake is courtesy of Kink Cakes for only Php 1,700++. You bet how all of us girls and boys laugh out loud when we saw this! We can’t get enough of it! Di namin napigilan maghiyawan not knowing that on the other room, the meeting was about to start. Haha. Every one doesn’t want to hold it or touch it, di ko alam kung nandidiri lang or nahihiya since we have 3 boys at the room. Haha. I know Gino have a video of my funny reaction but until now I haven’t seen it. Booo!!!

Cute nila noh!

Oh noh! kahit security guard namin game rin!

So I know you are all dying to have a glimpse of the cake again, so I'm gonna post different shots. Hahahaha!  Well, it’s legal! Remember, It’s a BRIDAL SHOWER! Whoooo!!!


Crazy Cake from Kink Cakes

Ooppss.. Mini Me ng cake ko.. Haha


Highlights:
-          Bridal Shower during office hours
-          Bridal Shower at the office (HR Room pa)
-          Crazy Cake
-          Crazy Games
-          Bridal Shower while having a serious meeting at the conference room (tibay namin db)

A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding. I'm so blessed that I experienced this kind of party with my closest friends. Super na surprised ako when they told me that they will threw a bridal shower for me. 

So here it goes, it happened last Friday the 13. Sabi nila malas daw yung araw na yun, either may bad news ka or puro kamalasan ang mangyayari sayo, well, siguro nga medyo naniniwala ako dito, you know why because that night super duper katakot ang ulan as in. I met my friends May and Mercy at MSE around 6:30pm, we are all scared because of the thunder and lightning. I swear nakakatakot sya, imagine we need to walk from MSE to Makati Ave since walang jeep or any transportation na daretso sa Center Stage. So I advise them to pray while walking, di ko na matandaan kung ilan beses kaming tumigil just to relax (nakakatakot kaya yung kidlat). I feel na talagang nag wo-worry na sila May and Mercy kung may makakapunta pa sa hinanda nila since grabe talaga yung ulan, I hear them saying "Sabihin nalang natin sa center stage na walang makakapunta para macancel na yung reservation" but Mercy insist na ituloy sya. (Thank you Mercy).

As soon as we arrived safe at Center Stage (Thank God), we seated at the couch for a minute while waiting for the others to arrived. We checked their menu cards and take some pictures (pampawala ng kaba). 
After few minutes, MJ with her BF arrive followed by Steph and then Kathy and Ola. 

Our room is good for 10 persons, I love the ambiance since we can do whatever we want to do. Mercy and May ordered for the group while MJ is having fun singing all night. 

Lumpiang Shanghai
Cream of Mushroom
Yang Chow Fried Rice
Sizzling Pork Sisig

Cge MJ kanta pa.. Haha
Wagas ang pagsayaw namin..

Dance Craze ng Super Bass

My bridal shower is simple, memorable, amazing and fun since I'm with my special friends who know me for who I am. I love them because they know what to do just to make me happy. We sing and dance together, we laugh and cry together and most important is that we are happy to be with each other again. Hello, tagal na kaya nung huli kaming nagkasama sama.. 

Aiza pose..  Hehe


After mad dance, Pose naman! Pose #1
Pose #2

Few minutes before we left the room, Kathy suggest to give their simple gifts to me (aba meron ng party, meron pang gifts.. sobra na yun ha.. hehe). 

With Ola and Kathy

Dito ba talaga to?! haha

with Steph


with Mercy

After that night, I realized that I'm so blessed for having such a wonderful friends around me. I know marami nga akong friends pero iba parin sila. Di man kami kumpleto that night, I know on my wedding day kumpleto na kami. 

I love you guys!

Steph, May, Ola, Kathy, MJ, Mercy and Me

Thank you guys for all your effort just to make my bridal shower possible. 

See you all on 24th!
