As I write this (hope to finish this post today), we're just one day away until our BIG DAY!  Many of my friends are saying that I should be relaxing this week so I would not look haggard on the wedding day.  Wait, what?  What relax?  Hahaha!  The only time I remembered relaxing was when I had my nails done for three hours the other night and when Macky had a Shiatsu massage.  It was too long that we ended at 12am.  At that time, I just wanted to go to bed,but I had no more time to had my nails done anymore.  Could you check if the blush shade is pretty or  should I change to white or ecru or add a glittery design?

One more day to go until I wear the second ring on my finger. By the way, I had a blush polished on my nails for the big day. Yay or Nay? Should I change it to white or ecru or french tip or put glittery design on it?

So, this is wedding preparation pala?  I organize events for work, but I realize that organizing your personal event, especially wedding, is more demanding.  Who's demanding?  Myself din.  I want everything to be near-perfect, but don't worry, I know it can't be.  So as much as Macky and I can, we prepared all the essentials for the wedding.

This week of the wedding day, Macky was on mandatory leave from work to be my DIY carpenter.  Our wedding theme is Rustic Shabby Chic, so imagine burlap cloth, wooden crates, wooden signage and DIY Tissue pompoms.  We did all that!  I even sewed our own ring pillow, which our elder son will carry.  Well, I just want to share these projects with you:

Wessie holding my morning DIY project, giant Tissue Paper (papel de japon) Pompoms! It's very easy to do. All you need are pieces of papel de Japon, wire, nylon thread, scissors, and lots of patience! #DIY #DIYdecor #DIYWedding #icanDIY #MackyLouiseFinally

Another DIY project, made with love this morning, our ring bearer pillow. Still have to sew the lace and jute string ribbons to tie the rings. Will do later, because I have to rush to work now. Good morning loves! #DIY #DIYWedding #icanDIY #DIYproject #mackylouisefinally

A photobooth signage.  One of the many wooden signage Macky made with love! :)

Wooden crate (we bought in the palengke for P20!) with our hashtag #MackyLouiseFinally

These were just some of the wedding projects we made which I will be sharing how we did in my future blog posts about the wedding.  I haven't been posting much about our wedding preps because I am in the middle of the preparation and I just have to balance my time, my energy, and I have to also manage my stress pretty well.  So forgive me for setting aside my posts for a bit, but I promise I will be writing extensively about the following:

• Wedding Preparation Checklist
• Wedding Suppliers
• DIY Wedding
• Rustic Themed Wedding
• Practical Wedding Budget
• How To Pull Off An Intimate Wedding
