Brainstorming For Our Entourage Gowns

This blog is definitely becoming a therapy for me!

Parang pakiramdam ko there's so much to do for our wedding, pero hindi ko naman masabi kung alin at kung pano ko sila gagawin. Anyway, just want to post some brainstorming ideas for our Entou gowns.

We've almost finalized our entourage. And we're trying to set a date for their measurements to be taken. Tentaively... Nov 7 (Saturday) for Joy's family and Nov 21 (Saturday) for my family.

We will be requesting our entourage to pay for their gowns. Php 800 to 900 for adults and Php 500 ata for the kids. I have asked my sister, Farizza to select a gown design for the secondary sponsors. I will be asking Joy's mama to choose the design for maid of honor (Princess, Joy's sister) and JR bridesmains (Nina and EJ, Joy's sisters). I have to choose designs for the bridesmaids. FG designs are to be done by me and Farizza.

Yun lang naman. Hay. Good night! Monday na naman bukas..

A Little Over Four Months To Go

Can you believe it?! Parang kelan lang pakiramdam ko it's going to take forever for our wedding day to final arrive. Tapos itong malapit na nagkukumahog naman ako.. Actually nagkukumahog is not the term kasi nga I'm doing nothing! Ewan ko ba. Napaka erratic ng kasipagan ko sa pag-aayos ng wedding details. Kaya eto ako ngayon panic mode at overwhelmed sa mga kailangan pa namin gawin. I just want to run through the list. Para na rin marelease ko ang tension. Hehe.

1) make arrangements for a pastor
2) requirements for our marriage license (nso birth certificate, barangay clearance and cenomar)
3) wedding rings
4) scout for entourage gown designs
5) arrange entourage's measurement to be taken for the gowns
6) deposit kay beth saraza
7) inform the ninong and ninangs (i think three more couples to go)
8) invitations
9) souvenirs
10) emcee **optional, depending on the budget
11) choir **optional, depending on the budget

And The Best Bouquet Is...

By overwhelming response, bouquet number 1 is the hot pick!
Email ko na si Ate Cora :)

Flower Picking for the Bridal Bouquet

After finalizing the deal with RCJC, it's time to choose the design for my bouquet.

As one of my W@Wie sister suggested, we'll have white roses, with a touch of blue and then we'll just put chocolate brown accents to comply with our motif. I'm going to request Ate Cora to use chocolate brown ribbon to tie all the bouquets (What a lovely contrast)


BOUQUET NO. 1
I liked the simple charm of the bouquet right from the first time I saw this picture




BOUQUET NO. 2
H2B liked this kasi litaw na litaw daw yun color na blue.
I think my mother also likes this bouquet.




BOUQUET NO. 3





BOUQUET NO. 4

Wanted: All Things Tiffany Blue!

Tuwing makikipag-usap kami sa mga suppliers or friends, palagi nilang tinatanong, anong color motif namin. Ako naman sasabihin ko Tiffany Blue. Ha? Ano raw? Para hindi na tayo malito ipopost ko na dito yun isang inspiration board na naresearch ko.

Ang motif sa wedding namin ay Tiffany Blue (or Robins Egg Blue), cream and brown.

Today is My Unlucky Day

Nag-MC ako today dahil masakit tyan ko. Nagtyaga ko maglakad papunta MRT at sumakay papuntang Pasir Ris. Only to find out expired na pala yun medicard ko (at hindi ko pa nakukuha yun renewal) wala p naman akong cash. So umalis na lang ako. Pobreng bata.

Sinubukan ko pumunta s clinic malapit s min pero cash lang din sila.

Habang naglalakad ako pauwi nakarinig ako ng crunch. Pag tingin ko nakaapak ako ng snail! Huhu. Sabi nga ni Joy kinuha na sya ni Lord through me.

Eto pa malupit. Ginagawa yun elevator sa block namin. Ayos! Nagstairs ako hanggang eight floor..
