Final na ‘to mga pips!

Scouring Divi
For the tight-budgeted couples looking for a great bargain on items and services for their upcoming weddings, Divisoria can be a mound of treasure just waiting to be scoured. What you need is a huge dose of patience and a critical eye for quality.
Legalisasyon at Basbas
We have chosen Uncle Ric (Vinz’s uncle) to be the officiating pastor for our wedding on the 25th of May! We made the call and he agreed! We’re very happy!

Searching for a hardcore couture capable of creating a brilliant wedding gown is one of the most crucial activities in preparation for a wedding. Sure there are a lot of designers out there who can deliver but budget-wise, we believe that this is a portion where we can negotiate for a price we can afford.
(Cel) already has a design in mind that (she) wants for (her) gown and has gone from mananahi to mananahi asking for a quote. We have also asked for recommendations from friends and some of her batchmates who got married just recently. After several days of searching, it looks like (Cel) has found the right designer who has offered services within the budget we have set for (her) gown. We’ll post more on this as we have finalized negotiations and when fitting begins.
Kita mo? Ano’ng Kulay?
This is usually the first among many things that a couple decides on even before they start planning their wedding – motif.
We have had a lot of choices already way back, but we still keep changing as time pass. Mind you, just a few days ago, we decided to change color again. And we still don’t know if we are calling it final already since (Cel) still wants to see it in the cloth when we go to Divisoria to buy the tela for the bridesmaids.
We’ll just post the final motif at a later time. (It won’t be that late though)
Dekorasyon atbp.
We set an appointment with our venue and floral decorator, Ate Ruby Diolanda, at The Orchidarium so that we can discuss with Barbara’s (our caterer) regarding the decorations, seating arrangement, parking, lights and sound systems and so many other things. (Vinz’s) sister Jayvee (who is actually one of the bridesmaids) tagged along too!
Maganda ba Kuha?
For all we know, the boom of digital photography has revolutionized the wedding photography industry. In the past, wedding photography was just a simple documentation of the chronology of events. Now, it’s journalistic, it’s ultra-creative.
After attending friends’ weddings and browsing their photos right after, we noticed that ours had to be highly artistic and presentable. If there’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to look so good in pictures, our wedding (including the prenups) should be the chance. We want a high-end wedding photography service.
Wow! Talaga? KELAN?
In the past, in rare occasions when we tell our closest friends about our intent to have our wedding soon, we always get stumped when we are thrown the question “when?” Tameme agad!
It was pretty hard to answer the question until we have finally reserved the venue.
We both went back to The Orchidarium a few days after we agreed to take on the venue (kahit hindi maganda pakiramdam ni Cel). So we paid the downpayment, discussed menu package options, and blocked the date for the wedding.

OK na kaya dito?
We both want our wedding to be held outdoors, so practically, what we are looking for is a garden wedding. But honestly, in the midst of our brainstorming sessions we even playfully thought of having ours at a beach! We didn’t really take the idea seriously though. I personally thought it might be too orthodox for our guests to attend, so, well, garden nga talaga!
First post
Here’s the post among the many posts to come. And while we are in the swirl of all whatnots and stress of wedding preparation, welcome to our wedding blog!
