I still remember vividly how I, just like all other brides-to-be, was searching for a perfect venue for our civil wedding.  The choices were: Beach or Garden.  Originally, my husband and I was 100% rooting for a beach wedding in Laiya, Batangas.  I started searching online for beach resorts offering wedding packages and also of past weddings which took place in those resorts. I stumbled upon one beautiful beach wedding, which overwhelmed me that it left me crying reading until the last paragraph of the post.  It was the beautiful wedding coverage with a beautiful love story of...

When I was a little girl, I've always fantasized about looking like a princess on my wedding day.  I imagined a ballroom gown showered with shining sequins, gems and stones meticulously sewn into my lace dress and six feet lacy train.  As I grew older (and wiser), my fashion sense and interests lean more towards the simple, elegant, classic, and comfortable. For my wedding last November, I considered buying an RTW simple gown..  I also considered looking for a couturier in Divisoria based on recommendation from friends who had their gowns made there.  We were working on a...

Our wedding happened a few months back but it still feels like it was just yesterday.  The personal vows we said to each other, which by the way wasn't your usual cheesy expression of love for each other kind of thing, still bring shivers to my spine and butterflies in my preggy belly. Like what I wrote in my wedding post over HERE, we DIYed some of the items which actually helped save thousands of pesos.  I remember how there were some days that I didn't sleep early just to finish some projects.  My husband even took one week...

Preparing for a wedding is probably one of the most stressful, detailed, tedious, but most fulfilling thing to do for a soon-to-be-bride.  I was once in that position for several months since the time Mac proposed to me last March.  The stress of preparing doubles when the soon-to-be-bride is the one planning for her wedding and didn't hire a wedding planner or coordinator, to save a few thousands at least. During my wedding, I was asked who my wedding planner was.  When I answered none, I always get a surprised reaction from friends.  They said our simple yet...

How's everyone?  Hope all is well with you dear readers.  Actually, I'm still on a post-wedding high as I write this.  But admittedly, I'm pretty occupied with so many other things that I only get to write my thoughts about the wedding and the life after being married, just now. Sometimes when I think too much about what first to write, I panic.  There are so many good things to write about, so many wonderful stories behind the wedding preparation to share, that I don't know where to start.  So I decided, to skip the chronological of what...

Source Stress. Happy Stress.  Ngarag Stress.  Excited Stress.  These are the different levels of stress that I feel when wedding preparations are concerned.  The anxieties, excitement, and pressures I feel go uphill and downhill.  I don't know if this is normal, but based from brides I talked to it is.  But their number one advice to me is "Just make sure you keep the stresses H-A-P-P-Y!  You'll do fine.  Enjoy it!" Big word(s). Well, it's really easier said pala talaga than done.  That's what I realize now.  I may be a campaigns strategist who also handles events at...

After the proposal last March (which you may read here), we've gone through one wedding expo and only four venues (that actually meant four cities - Laiya, Tagaytay, Antipolo and Manila) for ocular.  It's already August and I am panicking, but just a bit, because we're less than three months from the BIG DAY!  We finally decided on the venue, which has a partner caterer who could accommodate our small wedding, and the owner of the garden is genuinely nice.  I would reveal everything when it's near the final stages (or maybe after, imagine how busy I could...
