Practical Brides - Part 3

[MaitaOfMakeupOnDemand]

^^ Hi sis, I'm a wedding supplier pero hindi naman kami nage-expect ng token sa mga clients namin. Once nabigyan ako ng token but the bride was my friend so maybe she just felt she wanted to give me. So no worries. Kahit co-suppliers ko wala akong kilala na nag-expect ng token from the client. But what we love is receive a testimonial from you if you are satisfied with the work.

About retouch, why should it take 1.5 hours? Your makeup has already been applied and dapat durable yun. If your changing hair, your hairstylist should have your second hairstyle in mind while creating the first on para mas madali na afterwards.

Also, apart from being a supplier, I am a bride too. I'm getting married Dec. 20. Cocktails are not required. If you just alot 1.5 hours and hindi na mage-exceed dun, that's a reasonable time. Besides, they won't be waiting for the whole 1.5 ours. Part of that is travelling and getting to their seats. So pasok lang. Don't worry

Thanks sis hanson15. Sige nga tahakin ko ang Divi para mag hanap ng barong. Kasi di na kasama sa budget yun eh kaso ayaw ko lang na iba iba itchura nung entou na guys pala. Huli ko na narealize na di ko sila nasama sa pag iisip ko puro entou na girls lang.

And then about dun sa cocktails, pwede naman siyang wala sis. Although mas ok kung meron kang something na pwede nila pagka abalahan habang di pa nag start si reception like sabi ni sis sinFuLanGeL photobooth. Or gawa ka ng parang gallery ng pics niyo ni H2B and then lagyan mo ng parang mga trivia about sa inyong dalawa. Mga ganun ba... And yun sa tokens naman for suppliers di naman requirement kasi in all fairness may bayad naman na sila. Nice to have nalang yun, sis. Kahit thank you note I am sure ma appreciate naman nila yun lalo na if they are passionate about their work.

Hindi ako kumuha ng wedding coodinator, yung sa OTD naman, nag offer yung friend ko, who happens to have experience sa OTD. He has this 2 way radio, sabi nya kailangan lang nya ng 5 na tao para tumulong ssa kanya then he'll make sur ena sya na bahala sa flow. Tapos sa mga payments naman, sister ko na bahala mag bayad sa mga suppliers sa  kanya nalang namin ibibigay yung cash. Siguro ang kukunin ko nalang eh yung MC sa reception.

ganto rin ang ginawa ko, my kumare volunteered to be my OTD coordinator + 3 more assistants hehe kasi I did the same nung wedding niya so bawi lang. anyway i did not get a wedding coordinator kasi gusto ko ako mgasikaso at maghanap, it does not matter to me kasi we have the time naman ( 1 yr preps) pero sa mga wala ng time, get a wedding coordinator pero better friend mo nalang, she knows you better gaya ng preferences mo kase siya ang hahanap ng suppliers or other things na di mo magagawa sa dami na for you

sa otd mo, kelangan maayos ang sequence, give him the details ng gusto mo mangyari at ng lists ng kelangan niya iaccomplish...siya ang magiging tao mo kase nakaupo ka sa trono sa wedding day at di ka na pwede magasikaso pa ng ano ano hehe kaya you have to work with him talaga.

sis thanks for this. Tama testimonial nalang from the website para makatipid kami. Sori forgot to tell mga sis na walking distance lang ang church and reception namin pagtawid hahaha. So yung 1hr naka allot for pictorial namin tapos 15-30mins sa retouch namin before reception. Sabi ng mom ko kahit bumili nalang kami ng nuts or gawa nalang daw siya ng cheese cupcake para iserve sa mga guest.

Thanks mga sis kaya natin to.

Hi mga sis,

Ako naman nagtitipid sa wedding gown kasi once ko lang naman susuotin sya. Anyway, I was choosing among Rei, Ate Fe and Jeff House of Fashion.  After makita ko yung work nila, I finally decided na kay Jeff magpagawa ng gown.  Ang binigay na quote for my gown is 16K lang with 2 veils, pouch, pillows and garter na kasama.  Hindi fashion designer si Jeff but he can replicate the exact dress that you want.  Yung dress ko kasi na gusto is a monique lhullier gown (syempre I cannot afford her), so papagaya ko na lang kay Jeff.  Ang gusto ko kasi sa gawa ni Jeff ay sobrang pulido yung tahi.  I don't care if hindi fashion designer gumawa ng gown ko as long as malinis yung pagkakagawa.

If you guys want pics of their work (side-by-side with the original design), let me know so I can send it to you via email.  His niece, Jhoanna is the contact person.

Hi Sis ReservoirDogs! I got this from previous thread Practical Brides Part 2. Ask ko lang po sana email and contact details ni Ate Fe at ng Jef House of Fashion. Pa-PM na lang po or pa-email sa gldz_016@hotmail.com Thank you so much in advance!

[jfsgrl]

hanson - sis, what we did sa mga suppliers' tokens, we gave 1 team each then sila na bahala paano nila i-enjoy yun gift namin masyado na madami if nagbigay kami ng tokens for all 40 suppliers present during the wedding. I personally think puede naman na walang token. basta di lang sila (suppliers) papabayaan like may food provision and treated well by the family members and guests re cocktails, on top of nuts and chips, we agreed ni PC na i-serve na rin ang salad and soup for our guests while waiting for us. okie naman yun ganun approach kasi heavy naman ang menu and loaded ang desserts.

tripnienchong - sis, you may want to try Metrotech. sila ang supplier namin for projector, lights and sounds. actually, late na namin sila nabook for lights and sounds kasi nag-back-out sa wedding namin si Rejectkrew but everything went smoothly. they delivered really well

[hanson15]

mga sis I went to divi last saturday and check yung mga gowns dun.

1. 4th floor sa mga 168- I suggest i check niyo yung mga gowns dito kasi mga bagong designs ang makikita niya. Sa entou gowns ranges from 1800-1200 pero pwede tawaran yan ng 1k each. Chiffon na ang cloth niyan. Ito yung stall yung may edward teng sa bungad.

2. lower ground floor 168 extension to ng bridal gowns same rate lang din ng nasa 14th floor at mas konting suppliers dito..

3. tutuban and cluster building- dito pinaka maraming bridal gowns pero medyo outdated compared sa 168

4. Fiestamall- meron din dito pero mas outdated pa sa tutuban at cluster hehe

[kittywhite]

^hindi ba naiiba designs pag umorder ka sa mga ganyang site? parang ginagaya lang din nila yung nasa pic tas may sarilibsilang mananahi. just my opinion.

[kimlovestin]

Ang gaganda kaso parang nakakatakot bumili. Wala pang mga reviews [textspeak!] ibang sellers sayang!

I searched online for reviews girls and sa youtube meron, parang unboxing siya nung dress na inorder nya, unfortunately negative ang review, it was like a cookie cutter white dress na nilagyan lang ng appliques, bottom line hindi rin nya nagamit sa wedding nya, another review was hindi dumating on time yung dress. So I guess hanap pa tayo ng affordable supplier girls

[hanson15]

sis sa divi ang alam ko na pinaka murang wedding gown eh. Yung mga sumusunod sa trend nasa 168 pero mahal din nasa 15k-25k ang range. Pero high end ang itsura hindi mukang 15k.

Yung iba na simple long gown nasa 2k-6k naman.

Im thinking during cocktails na imbes appetizer ang iserve. Bread nalang kahit 2 klaseng bread para hindi sila ganun magutom what do you think?

[hanson15]

ok ang coffee sis

kaya nga kung may budget kami magpapaupgrade kami ng lechon plus may pasta, chicken, beef,seafood. Libre choco fountain. Isang dessert. Plus 2 dessert na diy namin ng mom ko. hehe.
Kung kaya ng budget magdagdag pa ng chips para pica pero naisip ko ok na 2 flavors of bread at least hindi sila gugutumin. Papadagdag pako ng games yung emcee ko bahala . Yung mga pinsan ko papakantahin ko rin so may mini party na para hindi mainip. Kung meron kayong mga strings patutugtugin niyo na during cocktails. May diy avp pa kami to be shown 30 minutes sa cocktail.

nagallot kasi ako ng 1hr and 30 mins para sa picture taking namin ni h2b. saka retouch namin and cr break lol

hi sis suggestion lang...why not like good siomai,sharfins and hakaw..or hakaw nalang hehe something to fill their tummy lang naman po....

[mrs_hubby]

^ good idea sis. or if you like, you can also serve california maki. may nabibiling bila-bilao ata non eh, pwede din yung DIY. just my two cents.

[hanson15]

^Sis Eklea mas gusto ko talaga siomai, hakaw etc kaso mas mahal na yun. Kung mag diy ako niyan. mukang malabo ko na magagawa kasi yung handling. Pero gusto ko yan hahahaha.

[hanson15]

pagiisipan ko to sis. Kasi may business ng siomai ang bf ko saka buchi. magprepare ako ng hindi pa luto na 100 pcs. Tapos ibigay ko sa coordinator ko? bahala nalang sila mamoblema kung pano? hahaha. Mas gusto ko yan dimsum buffet
