2016 Bride (Part 2)

[barbeecue]

Sis mhaymhay yung 180k im assuming kasama na dyan caterer, gowns, p/v, lights & sounds, etc? If so, super affordable na yan. You can check din yung reviews ng tie up suppliers nila.

Sis bwatinella, feb 2016 din ako. Book na your church & reception area asap. Yun usually yung suppliers na "pinag-aagawan". If mag coordinator ka, find one asap. The good ones are booked early. I booked mine 1 year before my wedding. Then there are caterers naman there who do as many as 10 weddings per day (accdg to the AE from juan carlo i talked to) so ok pa yun. Unless you want one of the sought after caterers like k by cunanan. Some brides book them at least a year in advance. Good luck sis!

Thank you sis barbeecue, Hindi na available ang preferred church namin for a Saturday afternoon. Morning na Lang daw. We are still thinking if we will get the morning schedule or just settle with a weekday wedding. Anyone here na naka sked ng weekday? Pa help naman mga sis, please. Thanks!

hi sis bwatinella! here's a thread for weekday weddings. http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/topic,287696.0.html

hope this helps!

Sis bwatinella I had a tuesday afternoon wedding where most of my guests didn't have a ride due to number coding. Haha! Truly a test of friendship. You have to be vigilant with the guest list coz that's the major problem a weekday wedding would encounter. we reserved and paid for 230 but only 203 came.

^@Sis ece, @sis janagirl, @sis barbeecue, yung 180k full coordination, included na yung venue,reception, flowers, p/v. Yung wedding gown and ento, hindi kasama. Sa hometown ni h2b kami magpapakasal kya budget namen aabot ng 300k. Plus pa kasi ang hotel accommodation and plane tickets.

Mga sis mag share lang ako, since June 2016 pa wedding namin wala pa kaming ni book na supplier kasi feel namin masyado pang maaga pero may mga shortlisted na kami. Anyway, pumunta ako ng White Label Bridal in Makati and I fell inlove with one of their gowns that I tried. Natakot ako, kasi meron akong parang "this is it" na feeling! Nakakaloka! Kasi balak ko talaga magpatahi rather than rtw pero I can't take my mind of the dress. Tulad sya ng gusto ko na simple lang na lace and grabe, nung sinuot nila veil sakin naluha ako haha
Sinabi ko yung experience kay h2b and sabi nya baka kaya daw ganun na feeling kasi first time ko makakita ng peg ko talaga na gown and nasukat ko pa daw. So ayun. Haha Wala, kwento ko lang, baka kasi meron din ganun na na-experience dito, yung parang "this is it".

Happy preps to all

^hi sis.. i had that feeling when I went to Rosa Clara.. after i found there a gown that really suited me sinuotan din ako ng veil with matching plastic bouquet of flowers. I felt like an actual bride! But in the end I didn't book them and showed na lang my designer that RC gown that I really loved. I want to be more flexible kasi in designing my own gown without breaking the bank. Minsan naiisip ko sana hindi ako masyadong ma-let down sa gagawing gown ng designer ko haha, pero I just manage my expectations ☺ my advice is that go after what you truly want and if you can, visit more RTW shops! I'm assuming that was your first time and who knows, baka may magustuhan ka rin sa ibang shops and there's a big chance that you will feel that way again with another gown from another shop take your time sis

^Nako visit as many RTW shops as you can. Only after 3x of visiting a bridal shop have I figured out what gown silhouette I would actually like to wear. HEHE it is so different from the original peg I wanted my designer to do for me. Turns out, when I tried a gown similar to my peg gosh, super hindi bagay pala!! It is a good thing my designer hasn't started making my gown yet and I can still ask her to change the design.

[bwatinella]

Thank you sis bzbee! It helped a lot. Now, I can invite more friends. 

Sis belle_v2g, CRL din sana church namin ni h2b. Hopefully, we can book the church this coming Wednesday. Thank you for the tips.

[fluffyfluff]

Sis Chili1113 and sis juwie,actually it was my second time trying bridal gowns pero nung una wala akong makita na gusto ko kaya nakaka disappoint but yes, I am going to visit as many RTW shops as I can hehe pero most likely magpapatahi padin ako, para mas bagay talaga sa akin and sa body ko yung gown

Chili1113 naku ganyan din sakin! Sabi ko gusto ko mermaid or trumpet na silhouette, pero nung ni try ko my gosh! Para akong lumpia haha Ang hapit ng kapit di ko kinaya! Nakakaloka haha!

[melodieee]

Hello mga sissies,

Ask ko lang if ilang hours ang appointment for RTW shops? Plan ko kasi mag pa appoint sa different shops ng same day sa same area also like Makati. Ok lang ba un?

[juwie]

^ depende sis sa number of people na kasabay mo and sa number of gowns you want to try on. Maximum na siguro yung 3hours ☺

[fluffyfluff]

Sis melodieee kaya naman ng isang araw pero depende padin sa iyo yan. Yung pumunta ako sa White label mga 45min-1 hour lang ako nun, infairness naka try naman ako ng mga 4-5 gowns and natanong ko nadin lahat ng katanungan ko. Maganda lang is, wala akong kasabay na b2b so talagang akin yung buong lugar

[Chili1113]

Another tip is visit a bridal shop where you are allowed to take pictures. Some places like Rosa Clara do not allow you to take pictures of yourself in the gown. It is better to be able to take photos so that you can show the designer how you look wearing different silhouettes, so that she can be able to design better for you. Heheh what I did is I printed out pictures of my in different gowns, and made notes on what I like and don't like about each gown I was wearing.


Also for example a fit and flare gown has many different cuts also. There are some that start right below the hip, and some flare out further down. Also A-line has different variations.  Some are a slim A-line while some look almost like a ball gown already. So better talaga na you have a picture of yourself kasi iba-iba talaga.

Although to be honest nakakatamad to try different gown styles. Ayaw ko na! Per visit I have been able to try 2-3 designs kasi nakakahiya naman to try so many styles when there are others who they need to attend to.
