2016 Bride (Part 3)

[rightback]

wow sis pinaydiaspora i'm impressed with your research and complete ang details so far. seeing sa p/v confirms na good call pala na i booked my p/v supplier early and kahit late ako nag upgrade ng package na lock pa rin yun price seeing medyo malaki yung naging increase.

Very informative blog sis pinaydiaspora. This will help future b2bs sa pag research and pag forecast ng budget needed for their dream wedding since almost complete na yung blog mo. Nakaka-inspire gumawa ng blog.

pinaydiaspora, thank you so much for sharing your researches. Bless your heart. 💟

Hi everyone! meron ba sa inyo naka occullar na sa velada estate in antipolo?

[sparklingjewel]

^Me sis The place has both indoor and outdoor venues pero medyo maliit lang the garden. Good to use for cocktails. Also relatively affordable.  I like it because hindi pa sya common/ overused venue for weddings

[pinaydiaspora]

Thanks mga sis! If may comment kayo about any of the suppliers listed just post lang so other b2bs who are reading them will be informed also kung ano updates. It felt so good na hindi kami n h2b nag-iisa sa situation namin now. We will be updating it onces I get other rates as well and yung reviews namin so far when it comes sa initial online interview with them

December 2016 wedding namin sis lourd3ss. Thats so true sis rightback..At first we thought sobrang haba pa ng time for us to start searching since March of this year pa lang nag uusap na kami about wedding details. But then come August after we got officially engaged, we found out na yung church na first option namin eh booked na date so it triggered us to reconnect with the possible suppliers that we want. Yung iba booked na din pero buti na lang yung iba available pa. Imagine, ideal pala talaga to book supplier at least more than a year para makapamili ka pa and to make sure na you still get the best possible rates!

Go sis khalee i-document mo sa blog mo experiences mo because maybe someone out there would also need the info that you have gathered

Update ko lang, we finished the canonical interview kanina. It was a breeze, i didnt know what caused me to worry so much in the first place, haha. I tried thinking of questions in advance pa and what our answer would be! Lol! No prayers recited whatsoever.. it was mainly light chikahan 90% of the time. The most revealing question siguro was being asked how much we earn and where we will live, possessions we have (like cars). I think measuring financial stability. We were asked a bit about the relationship too but no hard questions. Father was really nice to us and said he sees no impediments to our marriage naman. We submitted complete documents already. We just need to go back one last time after posting the marriage banns. My church is Our Lady of Lourdes in Tagaytay. 84 days to go!

Thank you Sis sparklingjewel, I am torn between Mango farm and velada Estate. Originally I want Oasis, but then I changed my mind dahil meron na kong nabasa na forum about them na medyo pangit na service, I felt sad kasi when I was college, I always dreamt of having reception there and Mt. Carmel ang church but then I want everything to be worth it.

Well anyway, ang haba ng kwento ko! I will let my Auntie visits, Velada Estate and Mango farm and I will wask her opinion.

God bless!

^good thing naenjoy mo ang canonical interview sis:) lapit na wedding mo:))

[rightback]

glad it was a breeze sparklingjewel. that really caused concern for you after hearing may bumagsak sa canonical interview. lapit mo na lang!

we just finished with pre-cana at CEFAM last weekend. in fairness we enjoyed it and at least iron out our views to be more synchronized with how we want our marriage to work. and kasama na family planning so hopefully our church will honor the pre-cana and city hall with family planning. highly recommended.

pinaydiasporai think with p/v its really best to book them early since they lock in their rates. so far yung ayaw mag lock in samin yung caterer but di naman o/a per head yung increase nila. church and venue will be good to book ahead also. other minor details yung medyo late. after being engaged aug last year, we booked our church na. for some reason early ko nahanap yung photo namin so nov pa lang ata booked na siya. then the rest started mga jan this year na, so about a year of total planning.

Dec 2016 sis yung samin. Uu nga mukhang need na mag prepare. Beach wedding target namin sa Anvaya. Hindi ko sure kung nagaaccept sila ng pencil booking hehe useful yung pinterest para sa mga DIY stuff an madali lang and super pretty pa.

Tipid tipid din kapag may time....

Goodluck sa lahat ng 2016 Brides to be.

[stylus]

yey! we got our birth certificates and request for cenomar kanina. super bilis sa makati nso- yung old makati city hall. parang 5 lang kami sa pila. less than 30 minutes lang, released na kagad. yung cenomar babalikan pa sa oct. 14.

[iameynjhel]

Hi mga kasis! I hope ok ang mga wedding prep naten. I just want to inquire if may alam kayong murang bilihan ng wine na pwedeng souvenir? Price range sana is less 500 kasi 50 guest ang bibigyan. Thanks po.

[zaji731]

^hi sis. Madami sa S&R. Went grocery shopping yesterday and they have wines ranging from 160pesos to 30k per bottle.

[hermione28]

OMG how did this happened! bigla akong naging 2016 bride.
at April pa!! nakakaloka.dp dati excited ako. ngayon ang hirap pala, di ko alam kung saan ako mag uumpisa. i badly need help!

[bzbee]

^ keep calm sis April is still 6 months away, that's still enough time to plan a wedding but you have to start na right away. first thing to do is set a budget and a date, book a church, reception venue and caterer. then the rest will follow. one at a time lang para hindi nakakaoverwhelm. post ka lang dito if you have questions, there are a lot of us here who's willing to help

[pinaydiaspora]

^^ That's true. Stay calm. If you're feeling stressed and you don't know what to do, better hire a full planner. But if you think kaya mo naman, OTD is already good. Start from booking the date and the church. From there short list ka ng venues for your reception.. Then everything will follow. Happy preps!

[hermione28]

bzbee, pinaydiaspora - hi sis! thank you. sige i'll start sa church, venue and caterer.

Documents din pala muna. haha. di pa din kalmado.

restricted and budget kaya kahit gusto ko ng full planner hindi kaya. haha.

Let's see sana makayanan ko. (sabi naman ni h2b kung di daw talaga kakayanin wag na namen ipilit, postponed nalang to a later date)

[stylus]

^sis, pag may final date, venue and number of guests na kayo, mabilis na lang mag inquire ng rates and availability ng suppliers. then you will know kung sino mga pasok sa budget nyo at sino pa mga available suppliers sa event date nyo

[pinaydiaspora]

^^ sis hermione28, try to book suppliers sa pinaka mura nilang packages and inquire kung locked na ba prices nila in case you decide to change the package para hindi kayo masyado mahirapan sa budgeting.
