Problems you encounter while preparing for your wedding (Part 6)

[infinity24ever]

^ erase mo na lang sila sa list mo sis kung may ibang suppliers ka pa na mapipili. Mahirap ang no-replies and no-updates.

Thanks Sis. Yes. Ganon na nga. Sabe nga ni Fiance, that means hindi interested and let go.
My worry now is that this is a designer bridal gown that i am really eyeing. Wala talaga seen zoned. Kaya hirap din medyo sakit. Haha kase these are just 3 designers i am eyeing. Hirap naman mag pili na hindi mo gusto.
With other suppliers like LS, florist, stylist etc, fine let go.
Hay, bat kaya hirap na hirap ako sa gown ko.  8 months to go.

[janagirl]

Mahirap nga ganyan sis, there are a lot of good and busy suppliers pero they find time to reply pa din kahit gano ka busy.

[bzbee]

^ sis if you're just eyeing 3 designers, i think you should keep trying to reach out. try other modes of contact. tatatlo na lang sila, baka pwedeng pagtyagaan mo na lang. not unless you're willing to expand your options, there are lots of good designers out there. kailangan lang tyagaan magsearch.

[VShe]

Sis infinity24ever mahirap din kasi na ngayon palang na potential client ka seen zone na, what more pag booked na and you do follow ups? 

But you can also try nga din other modes of contact at pag nakausap mo na, ask them about the seen zoned ka.  Magiging based pa rin naman sa sagot nila if you feel that you can trust them with your wedding gown   

[lippiequeen]

Sis sikat ba yun designers na nangseseen zone? Baka sis hindi ganon kaactive sa fb,pag type mo talaga and non negotiable baka pwede mo tawagan sa landline to set an appointment if ever hehe

[infinity24ever]

Thanks Ladies for the advise. Yes, will try to call and message again. Asar lang kase planning to go home (overseas bride). so at least i know if imemeet ko ba cia or totally not interested. hay.

Hi Sis Ece, Yes. Seenzone pa din. Nakailang message nako. Parang gusto ko tuloy patulan at sabihin sa kanya na name the price magreply kalang. Hahaha (Joke). Pero kakainis kase mega post cia ng dog nia.  pero reply to us wala. 
Pati si Andrea. Wala din. Hay kaloka. Tawagan ko na nga next week. pag wala, fine.

anyone tried joe san antonio? anyone knows ano ang expertise nia sa gowns? i head feedback na she's nice pero with the fb posts kase, parang hindi ko masyadong bet. so, thinking if she has specialty or something? Thanks in advance. 

[ece]

sis! hahaha! ako naman, naisip ko, sabihin ko na sa kanya budget ko, (kala mo malaki budget. haha) then i'll ask, take it or leave it? reply asap. hahaha! 

nga pala, may Vania Romoff bride ba ditto? nice din gowns nya, more on lace.

[yannuh]

^waa sis i love her creations too! Saka si Boom Sason:) kaya lang i dont think i can afford them, hanggang like na lang ng IG posts nila hihi

I can only think of one "problem" during our wedding planning and that is with the photobooth supplier. Initially a friend was supposed to provide it but due to unforeseen circumstance we had to look for another supplier. We thought of not having one na nga since hindi naman sya make or break for us pero sige go na din. One way of keeping our guests occupied while waiting for us.

Week of the wedding and we still didn't have the layout. As in I provided na all the details pati instructions on how we want it and also the background to be used. All they need to do is to layout it sa software nila. I sent them a message both thru text and email. Ang reply lang sa text was ano daw email address namin. Hahaha. I decided to let go na lang instead ma-stress. I sent a final text saying how disappointed I was. I told them it is better if they tell me agad if hindi nila kaya.

3 days before the wedding before I received the layout and thankfully they followed naman my instructions. I was not expecting them to really show up on the reception but they did and somehow made bawi. Ok ang quality ng prints and elegant ang dating ng layout. Will I recommend them, not so sure. 

[rightback]

I've been lurking around this thread for a while thinking when will I rant. Looks like this is the day (thank you hormones).

Syempre yung sakit sa ulo ko si h2b. Di talaga makalet go sa kaka games niya sa pc niya. So there, I've been handling the preps and if may ayaw or gusto siya hindi man lang nagsasabi--reason lagi is pagod daw siya. Kaloka! Tapos anything I ask din from him super depayed. He's supposed to do the watercolor for our invites and until now wala pa rin! 2 months na since we bought all the materials. My sister's waiting na lang to add yung calligraphy. Yung reason pagod daw pero forever nakaonline sa Dota.

I had to take over the computer one time para lang magdeclare siya ng guest list niya. At least we finallt sorted that one out.

Then there was one time I went to the bridal fair in SMX to book our videographer after walking under the rain the whole day when the pope was here. Ayaw sumama kasi pagod daw--to think natulog lang siya the whole day! Ayun sorry siya, I picked the discounted rate vs getting the free aerial shot. Wala siya magawa walang signal that time.

Hay boys talaga...they'll always be kids.

[VShe]

Not really a problem pero nakakaworry.

I've been sick since Sunday. And our wedding is on May 2 na. That is next Saturday 😞

[ilynaloira]

^sis baka sa stress yan.. just relax kase malapit na kembot. good luck sis!

[yannuh]

relax sis Vshe Goodluck and congrats in advance on your May 2 wedding!:*

rightback: I can super relate to your post!! Just last week super inis and tampo ako with H2b regarding guest list. Just relax sis and talk about it calmly when you get the chance.

I think most guys (or at least my fiance) feel like they are already doing so "much" and really participating as long as they are able to "provide" and help finance the wedding. But sometimes guys don't understand (especially in the early stages of planning), that we girls enjoy meeting suppliers and deciding/discussing over a million little trivial wedding details with the groom.

But I think it is quite common to see many frustrated brides. Honestly, I have a friend whose husband just gave her the budget and literally let her plan it all herself. He just "showed up" at their very grand wedding hehe

Honestly I am willing na nga to do all the planning, but I cannot invent a guest list for him since I do not know all his relatives! Kaya doon ako naiinis.

[belle_v2g]

I never had problems with my husband in providing his guest list which is really fantastic. He knows exactly who to invite and who the less priority are. He let me chose which supplier to book but I asked him to decide with some other stuff like music and sound system. But with cakes, flowers, other girly stuff.. wag na. there are times kase na we ask for their opinion tapos in the end tayo parin naman ang nasusunod. Haha! Minsan talaga they would feel na you don't need them.. or tinatanong lang sila for the sake na masabi ng bride na "iniinclude mo sya sa preps" just don't expect too much para di sumasama ang loob.

He is so keen to learn our choreographed entrance and first dance plus he will be the one to make our AVPs. So less sakit ulo for me.

[yannuh]

^same here sis. super hands-on din si H2B. Merong one time na I sent an e-mail to one supplier  tapos I just put him in copy tapos tinext ako ng di ko daw in-ask ang opinion nya about dun, parang di daw sya part ng wedding, etc. Naguilty naman ako sis. Parang ako lang kasi nagdecide hehe. Kaya nung sumunod na discussion sa ibang suppliers, i always ensure na kaming 2 ang may final say sa lahat.

[shygirlme]

Lahat ng suppliers namin may approval ni husband. I just gave him list of suppliers tapos he will check then approved. Tapos ako na bahala makipag usap. Sa last part ng wedding even the night before sya na nag take over. Overseas kasi sya kaya di nya ko masyado natulungan kaya sa last part sya na bahala.

[xsugar]

sis che_v, can you name this supplier if pwede so we can be aware?

Congrats sis VShe! Relax, enjoy and savor each moment!

I can relate to you sis rightback, ganyan din sa h2b COC naman..best man nya nga di sya maka-decide pati guest list..hayss..ganun ata talaga sila.

[aNgelofThEMorning]

Same here, kasama si hubby sa planning lagi. Kailangan ko lang syang pukpukin sa mga task nya. Sya naman sa game na boom beach, so sinabi ko na need ko sya sa prep kase nahihirapan ako mag-isa. Ayun inistop na nya, uninstall hehe. Sya gumawa ng travel and growing up presentation namin. May DIY din sya, yung table numbers. Pati sa  make-up ko hehe, he take pictures of me during trial tapos analyze namin after.

For me mas ok na maisama nyo sila sa prep, successful or not so successful ang wedding may makaka-relate sa inyo. May isang sis dito na hinde masaya sa kinalabasan ng wedding nya, I think kung mas involved yung h2b sa prep, mas madali nya masasabi yung frustrations nya. 

Nakaka-miss nga mag-prep.

[angelzero]

^am i the only bride na hindi namimiss ang preps?  i think i've posted about it here na rin na preparations were not fun anymore during the last stretch. nakaka stress sobra! ang mali ko rin tinry kong gawin lahat. for DIY brides out there you can be OC pero have some people help you, especially sa stressful tasks like RSVP, coordinating with suppliers, some DIYs, etc. if 1 person is assigned to each task hindi naman siguro stressful for them. pero you as bride or groom na sobrang busy with other stuff, it might be too much stress na.
