Hello Everyone!

Anyone planning to attend the Before I Do Bridal Fair on the 25th and 26th sa Megamall?

[Megantaur]

I am new to this forum. I am getting married on July 2016. I already have a church, no suppliers so far. I am going to meet up with Kutchie for full event coordination. I still have a year to prepare but I am already stressed out about thinking and planning the wedding myself that's why I want to hire a wedding planner right away. I think I'll learn alot from this site.

I have plans to go there, I already have tickets for the fair

[msdianne]

Hi! I'm a Kutchie bride too but I'll meet her sa August pa. Since I'm overseas. Hesitant to get the full coordination kasi we have suppliers na in mind although stress free pag full. Sayang din the 50K for the stylist budget. Haha! June 2016 bride here.

It is kind of stressful to plan alone especially when my fiance lives abroad. That means I will mostly do all the paper works and planning. I am planning to meet up with Kutchie this week, it's nice that she responds faster than I thought.

I'm based overseas and june 2016 bride din. Kamusta preps mo sis? Ako medyo konti palang kasi gusto ko pag booked na, hindi na magbabago isip kasi sayang ang down. Hahaha!

Hey you guys , don't fret as long as you know where you want to get married, and have an idea of where you want to go have your reception and such. Of course it also helps if you do the research, like what most GT brides do
 I am also based overseas and will have my church wedding on June 2016   I have started my wedding planning last January.  I only went home once to do oculars and meet with some suppliers. The next time I will go home will be a few weeks before my wedding. I prefer to be hands on and deal with the suppliers by myself. I am OC that way even though I used to be pretty busy with work. hehe. I only hired an OTD coordinator.  So far, I have booked nearly most of my suppliers.   There are a lot of us overseas brides here hehe.  So if we can do it, so can you

Reading GT helped a lot as there are some suppliers here that I would never have known have I not bothered to come to this forum  

Like what others have already mentioned, collect all the information, and inquire with them. It is better to know your suppliers, than just let others pick them for you. At least yo have an idea who works best with your vibe.   Compare the pros and cons. It is truly a stressful preparation, but remember, at the end of every dark cloud is a silver lining. At the end of all this stressful preps, is your knight in shining barong or suit hehehhe waiting to tell you "I do"..  Good luck

[msdianne]

Exactly like right now I'm doing the budgeting first then knowing "my supplier", theme, and motif. You can actually do it naman without the full coordination. I'm weighing my option August and December are my vacation leave this year. Weekday my wedding like a WEDNESDAY haha! So I guess there's no conflict sa booking. For now research, research, research within our budget and so much thankful for the ladies out here sa GT I swear there's a lot you can learn!

[marsala2016]

Go sisses:) i think its really more challenging when brides are overseas. Extra effort talaga especially of you want to meet the suppliers first.  That's why doing a lot of research really helps plus this thread, lots of good ideas and pieces of advice from the community. We can do this!

Wow naman, parang ang exciting ng preps nyo mga sis.
Yun pala ang downside ng kumuha ng all-in wedding package, walang ganyang experiences.

Me and H2B had our meeting with Bella last July 5th, parang nabibilisan nga kami sa phasing ng planning e. Submitted songs na for our Save the date and SDE as well as songs for the reception. Pati reception venue set up nadiscuss na rin.
Parang undecided ako if I should go with the Made-to-Own bridal gown na included sa package kasi Plus-Size Bride ako. Yung mga past Bella Brides kasing nakikita puro ko sa mga SDEs nila puro slender and  fit. Parang dito din ata ako lang ata ang Plus-Size eh, hehe

[Megantaur]

My wedding is on Wednesday too! I had my wedding day computed for Numerology lol. Some of you may not believe in this kind of things but why not haha. It's special no matter what I am addicted reading tips and advises sa GT. I am so happy I found this site. Grabe napupuyat ako magbasa!

[msdianne]

Since I'm an overseas bride booked my major supplier just through email and Skype Ang galing! Wednesday wedding here June 2016!

VENUE: Blue Leaf FILIPINAS -Good luck sa traffic! But we'll provide guest with "snacks to go" from the church to the venue

Yay! Let's trade notes afterwards ah? Are you coming with friends or si H2B kasama mo?
Si H2B ko e mas excited pa sa akin. Ang ipupunta lang naman namin talaga is for the invitations and mobile bar. Sana we'll win some prizes kung may pa-raffle.
