2018 Brides

[atnep]

Hi sissies!

Sis ChixC18 and sis IVY2018 yung ento gowns na kukunin ko 3500 per gown neoprene na tela (better than spandex.mas makapal so hindi babakat ang undies). Ang maganda kay Axel Fashion Collection by Paul Santos, may designer sya, si Joven. I requested for evening gown type of gowns for my ento so they can use it after the wedding. He sketched the design agad tapos marami syang insights na itutulong. I can email you the design if you want to see it. Sa Mark brides, MOB is 5000 and Flowergirls, 1k each. Not bad. Sa suits ako nahirapan mag haggle since mahal pala talaga ang gawaan ng suits. Complete set is 5k (coat, white polo, vest, pants and neck tie) then yung coat and pants lang with neck tie, 3500. Madami kasi akong ento so medyo naka less ako.

Sis puwede malaman saan location ni Mark brides saka does he have a website? Pwede din pasend ng details? hehe. edenlorren@gmail.com

[engrlulu]

^Medyo challenge pag limited ang budget. Hehe! Tagaytay brides din ba kayo sis? Magkano mga budget nyo?

[uglygirl]

Yay 2018 brides!! Uy help naman.. gusto ko kasi sa shangrila fort magreception pero sunday yung wedding namin. May massuggest ba kayo na malapit na church na aircon? Thanks!

[katniss]

ako rin puro email email ng suppliers and hingi ng quotation. still not decided where kami eh kung sa Bicol, Tagaytay or dito sa Metro Manila. ang hirap magdecide! ano ba factor cinoconsider nyo sa pagdedecide ng location ng magiging wedding? parehas kasi kami taga-Bicol kaso dito naman kami sa Manila nakabase.

400k max lang budget namin for 100-120 pax. sana wag lumobo o_o

how to be aware of the upcoming bridal fairs? may thread ba dito? tia!

[acvc08]

^^ sis uglygirl, if the fort gusto mo sis, you can check St. Alphonsus sa Magallanes or Don Bosco sa may chino roces. alam ko air conditioned yun.

sis katniss, tagaytay wedding din ako. originally 300k ang budget but it seems mag end kami with 600k. haha! Medyo mas mahal pala ang destination wedding. Pero wala naman ako regrets sa mga na-book ko. Medyo nag pamahal lang samin yung Venue since irerent namin ng 3days, 2nights. Pero if kukuha ka ng venue na mas mura, mukha naman papasok sa budget mo. hehe need lang talaga umeffort na makahanap ng mura pero quality suppliers. ilan ba guests mo sis? 

[katniss]

^depends eh. pag dito sa Manila around 100 lang yung kasya sa garden venue na nalove at first sight ako (( So baka another reception na lang in the province. kung sa province 150 pax. kung sa tagaytay nasa 120-150 pax din.

[raiizea]

^^sis katnis kaya yan sa tagaytay wedding, kami din kasi tagaytay, nagcompute na ko ng budget kada iboobook namin wala pang 400k aabot yung gastos na originally sabi ko 300k lang kami haha.. ang hirap talaga magbudget paggusto mo din syempre yung quality. Puro average yung supplier na nakuha namin at for checking namin. Booked na kami sa church, venue, caterer at p/v. Sobrang aga namin nabook dahil nangulit talaga ako na gusto ko talaga super advance booking to lock down the rates. 2years advance kami haha.. dec 2018 pa kasi wedding namin. Medyo magchill chill na kami sa 2017 pero aattend kami ng bridal fairs baka sakaling dun namin makuha yung ibang suppliers na need namin.

[jncldttaguilar]

Ang galing mo naman sis raizee! Na-budget mo tagaytay wedding at 400k. My initial budget was 600k pero parang aabot kami ng 800k. Pwede ba malaman sino suppliers mo?

Sis IVY2018 and acvc08 thanks for your suggestions sa Casa de Corazon. I was able to book it. The place is really breathtaking. Sayang lang I was not able to get it at discounted price kahit inoffer ko na kay kuya willie na full payment na. But its okay, sobrang accommodating naman ni kuya willie.

So far church venue and caterer (Ibarra's Catering) palang nabo-book nmin. Does anyone know Tita Sonya's rate for events styling and flowers? Seenzoned lang ako kay tita. Haha.

[ninsyninsyspider]

Hi sisses, any feedback regarding Wack wack golf and country club? Dun namin plan venue ng reception but hirap to research and get feeback.

[mmcat]

congratulations 2018 brides! and happy preps!

so excited na for the big day. but at the same time it's kinda stressful. lalo at parehas kami ng bf ko na nag-ttrabaho overseas. any advise for overseas couples?

[ChixC18]

^Medyo challenge pag limited ang budget. Hehe! Tagaytay brides din ba kayo sis? Magkano mga budget nyo?

Hi sis! Ako Tagaytay Bride din ako.  March 2018 ako. Budget wise, unang usapan namin ni H2B, 400K pero leaning towards 500K-600K na din kami sis good for 150 Pax.  Pero based naman sa projected expense na ginawa ni H2B sa excel 550K yung na compute. Sana nga di na umabot ng 600K. 

[ChixC18]

So far church venue and caterer (Ibarra's Catering) palang nabo-book nmin. Does anyone know Tita Sonya's rate for events styling and flowers? Seenzoned lang ako kay tita. Haha.

How much ang Catering lang ni Ibarra's sis? Mejo pricey si Tita Sonya's sis. I showed my peg then yung quote niya sakin is 90-120K daw. Huhu. Kaya cross out na siya sa list namin agad. Hehe. Nakakita naman ako florist Manila based pero waived ang OTF got them for 40K so happy nadin ako. Hehe.

[ChixC18]

^katniss - Sis kami Tagaytay wedding kami, naging basis namin ni H2B is una yung church OLLP kami which is sobrang special samin don kami madalas mag simba ni H2B and 2nd plus points din na pareho kaming taga South, 3rd we wanted a destination wedding din, and Tagaytay has the best view of Taal plus yung weather nadin. Di kami nag Metro kasi mainit though cinonsider naman din namin ang Alabang since we both work around the area, so andami naming officemates don manggaling, so what we did we asked our friends kung willing sila bumyahe to Tagaytay if incase don kami they are more than willing naman and mag cacar pool pa sila! Kaya Tagaytay padin ang final decision. Hehe. 

Pero tip lang din sa pag pili ng venue sis, since yung isa sa mga choices mo is kind of far (Bicol), make sure na accessible sa guest mo yung venue (do what we did ask them din), kung maraming manggaling ng metro you can have it around Metro or Tagaytay if you really wanted to have a destination wedding. Pero kung marami naman taga Bicol, then go for Bicol, not unless ok lang bumyahe yung mga taga Bicol or vice versa. Sakin lang naman yon sis, pero syempre at the end kayo padin ni h2b mo magdedecide.

[katniss]

Thank you sis ChixC18 for the inputs. Very enlightening. We're now leaning towards Tagaytay and Quezon City. Thank you also for the bridal fair scheds! Super helpful. Bitbitin ko na lang si h2b!

Anyway, may garden venue ba ang Casa de Corazon to those who know? Searched for them sa Google pero dahil bago pa lang sila wala pa masyadong photos. How much ang venue rate nila? Also yung rate with food? TYSM!
