2018 Brides

[pinkmoscato]

Sis Nixfesti, tama ka hindi ganun kadali mag-plan, mag-inquire at mag-book ng suppliers. Lalo na kung ma-research ka talaga at nagbe-base ka rin sa reviews. Kadalasan yung mga magaganda ang reviews ang mabilis ma-book.
December 2018 pa wedding namin pero nag-book na kami ng mga suppliers mula nung January. Ang ginawa namin eh kada month, may inassign kami kung anong supplier ang ibu-book. Let's say, January-Church, Feb ang OTD coordinator,  March-Photographer, April-Videographer, May-Strings/Band.
Kaya we have a month to read reviews/feedback at mag-abang ng mga recent weddings nila, usually once or twice a week may new posts sila so mas makakapag-decide ka kung sino talaga yung gusto mo.

Happy planning mga sis!!

[Nixfesti]

Thanks mga sis! Kayo lang nakakaintindi sakin hahaha. Kahit kasi si h2b nagpoprocrastinate. Eh every weekend nga lang kami nakakapag-ayos at nagmimeet dahil we both have work, kaya ang bilis lumipas ng oras. Tapos gusto nya saka na yung ibang suppliers. Konti nalang aawayin ko na sya, chos. Hahaha.

^^hi girls back on track! Ang tagal kong hindi bumisita dito how's your preps? True na mas maganda talaga na mas maaga ka magbook like us! I'm december 2018 bride and so far eto na yung mga nabook namin: church, reception, photo, video, caterer,band,florist,hmua, photobooth, o di ba sinong excited? Hehe..tagaytay wedding din kami by the way. Konti na lang kulang jan. May prospect na kaming coordinator talaga gusto lang muna namin na idelay yon kasi wala pa kaming time bumalik ng tagaytay para imeet sya pero para kaming nakapencil book na sa kanya. Gown, suit, accommodation and rings na lang din ata ang importanteng kulang jan. DIY ko yung ibang items lalo na invitation kasi graphic designer naman ako, para makatipid at masunod yung gusto kong design! Pagnagbook ng maaga, bukod sa hindi ka mangangarag pagmalapit na, price lock din. Hehe. Happy preps sisters!

[Nixfesti]

^^ Whoah! Nakakainggit ka sis raiizea! Mas marami ka nang time for beauty rest yay! Nainspire ako bigla. 

[EeVee51818]

Sis kccllj yup medyo malapit lang naman Intramuros sa Sta. Ana kaso sobrang traffic ang dadaanan tapos friday pa yung wedding namin, pero keribels yan, kakayanin

Tama kayo mga sis pati sa akin dami nagsasabi next year pa pala ang wedding excited daw ako masyado eh feeling ko nga ang bilis ng araw hindi ko alam ano uunahin kong i-book nagkasabay sabay pag inquire ko sa kanila.

Tips naman po mga sis kung paano mag turn down ng suppliers? May prospective suppliers na kasi kami pero ang dami ko kasi napag inquire-an, yung iba nag ffollow up ng status yung iba nakakahiya kasi todo effort din sila sa pag sales talk hehe thank you!

Hi girls!

January 2018 bride here! And share ko lang yung latest experience ko with our prospect modista for our entourage gowns. When I told him na "January pa naman" ang wedding ko, naloka sya! Haha! Sabi nya in a kalog way "anong January pa?! Ang lapit na non! Peak season, gurl!" LOL

So, dun sa mga April 2018 brides, wag na kayo magchill haha! Less than 1yr na lang and time really flies so fast! Nag-relax din kasi kami for ilang months (although booked na ang major suppliers), pero after nung encounter ko na yun narealize ko na may tama sya! Haha! Kaya eto, we already set a schedule to go to divi to buy fabrics and also canvass some other stuff.

[Nixfesti]

^^ Omg sis, tama nga talaga sila. Dapat tayo maniwala sa kanila kasi sila ang experienced sa ganyan. Hindi na ako talaga makikinig sa sinasabi ng mga tao at itotodo na ang preps!

[Carlyndj]

Mabilis ang panahon. Hehe. January 2018 bride din ako. Yan din sinabi ko. Chillax muna kasi matagal pa naman pero sabi ng other friends ko, ngayon daw minsan 2 years na at hindi na 1 year ang reservation sa church. Kung in demand talaga siya unless you want weekdays. So ako naman na stress at dali dali nag hanap. Ayun may mga hindi akong nakuha na mga gusto king supplier. And napansin ko every year tumataas lahat ng suppliers. So other suppliers can still give you their old rates pa😁

[imjenyi]

Wow nice! Mas okay nga talaga pag early booking! Yung ibang tao kasi sinasabi sakin lagi na 1 year pa, bakit daw masyado excited. Hindi naman sa excited tayo, sigurista lang. Kala siguro nila madali magprepare ng wedding hahaha

Hi Sis, May 2018 bride here  Tama okay lang 1 year prep. for me mas okay sya kasi less pressure ang pag prepare and budget

For now halos booked na kami lahat. (excited lang hehe)

Church: Our lady of abandoned church marikina - 7k
Venue- Markina Hotel - 200pax 18k
Hotel: I am thinking Richmonde hotel or Novotel pero mas okay Richmonde east wood kasi mas mura but feeling ko medyo mahigpit sila sa time ng pictorial

[decibel28]

Wow this is so exciting! Ang daming April 2018 Brides here!!! Hello ladies!

[raiizea]

^^simula ng naglurk ako dito sa girltalk talagang sabi ko kay fiance na dapat maaga kami magbook,yung  ngang caleruega last year pa kami nakabook, supposed to be dec.8,2018, 3pm kukunin namin, kampante pa ko nun na makukuha namin pero pagdating namin dun wala na daw agad! Kaloka! Kaya tuloy yung ibang suppliera namin inasikaso na din namin.

Regarding pagturn down ng suppliers, pag hindi mo pa naman nabook, sabihin mo na lang na may nakuha na kayong ibang supplier,dami ko ding nainquire-an dati, kada inquire ko nilalagay ko yung rate se excel sheet. Last year inquiry yon tapos naginquire ulit ako nung january ang laki agad ng tinaas nila. Kaya ang aga namin binook halos lahat kasi grabe yung price increase unless ok ka naman kumuha ng supplier na baguhan talaga.

[Nixfesti]

^^ True sis! Ang bilis magtaas ng rates! Minsan nga iba yung rates nila sa previous bridal fair than the next one! Kakaloka! Buti may paranoid brides like me kaya nakakuha ako ng tips dito!

[Ficility_amytyst]

Hi ! I'm 2018 bride also . I just want to ask if sinong may alam ng rates for La faite home and country garden at San pedro . I already emailed Ms. Violy of la faite but di nya binigay yung rates and packages. I;m planning kasi i need to know the rates before the ocular baka kasi di reasonable yung price .
Thanks . Hope you can help me

[Carlyndj]

I dont know kung merong thread ng entou gowns. I think im having a panic attack na kakahanap ng pang entourage. The coordinator's secretary got a reply na kay claiza and hindi talaga kaya ng budget. So back to haydee and debbie. Problem is wala ako macyadong mahanap na  review kay debbie although ang dami ko g naririnig na hindi ok. I want sana based in the experiences if the brides here.

[kccllj]

Sis! Try Mara Chua. One sis told me around 3k siya per gown. Or if super out of budget na, you check lovecmanila on Instagram. My friend got them for their entourage diko lang sure kung magkano hehe

[Nixfesti]

Hi sis Carlyndj! Here's the thread about entou gowns: http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php?topic=295330.0

They're all RTW though. Hope this helps. Sana makahanap ka na ng supplier. Goodluck ang happy preprs!

[Carlyndj]

Thanks sis kccclj and Nixfesti. I went with Debbie na. The coordinator said na tutukan nalanv daw sa fittings.
Fiance called her up and sabi ni Debbie na as long as yung entourage din ok sa mga appointments then wala naman daw problem. 😊

[decibel28]

Wow good ayan naka book kana din pala ng entourage gowns mo Ako yung sinasabi ni kccllj na Mara Chua ang kinuha na entourage gowns

Alam mo agree ako, na minsan kahit may mga negative feedback ang supplier, case to case basis naman yun, and one side of story lang ang napapakinggan natin diba. Kaya in our part nalang to ensure na magiging okay ang flow ng transaction and walang maging problem, talagang tutukan nalang and series of reminders para walang hassle din and maging maayos ang lahat

[Carlyndj]

Hi @decibel28

Yes, finally meron narin. 😊 For a month ko ata piniproblema yan.

True. Ang hirap talaga pag ganun. Medyo naguguluhan lang at first because she was so easy to talk to eh. She kept aaking din for update and when fiance talked to her ok din. Pero tama nga na tutukan din para wala macyadong problem in the end.😊

[decibel28]

Hi Carlyndj Diba, kasi minsan nakaka paranoid. Yes I agree na nag mamatter yung experience ng ibang brides when it comes to other suppliers, pero sabi nga nila there's always 2 sides of the story so I think okay na isipin at take note nalang yung comments ng iba and make sure na maayos ang usapan niyo ni supplier, and very clear ka with them when it comes to your expectations and instructions sa kanila
