Suppliers booking.. Almost done!

With one year to go I had to look at my list and check which suppliers I haven't booked yet. Then upon scanning the list, I got so delighted that we almost booked all of our suppliers. Yey: Here's the list so far:

Church (Mt Carmel) - 50% paid

Reception (The Glass Garden) - 50 paid

Caterer (K By Cunanan Catering) - Reservation paid

Photographer ( Nelwin Uy) - Reservation paid

Videographer (MG Digital) - Reservation paid

Bridal Gown (Cecilio Abad) - 50% paid

Entourage Gowns (Jheff Fashion House) - 20% paid

Wedding Rings (Matus Jewellery) - 30% paid

HMUA (Jesy Alto) - Reservation paid

Florist (Vatel Manila) - 20% paid

Lights and Sounds (Sensitivity) - 50% paid

Bridal Accessories (Princessweds) - Reservation paid

Bridal Shoes (Perfect Match)- Reservation paid

Invitation - (Print Divas) - Reservation paid

Coordinator (Jhets & Rhona) - Reservation paid

Wedding Cake (Alex Franco) - No reservation required; booked the date

Strings ( Serenata Strings) - 20% paid

Whew! I am so relieved that I have booked early. This is what I am missing:

Bridal car - thinking if we should get one but choosing between JCA or Don Roberts

Souvenirs - I am eyeing Papelmelroti for this. Will book next year.

Ento souvenirs - I don't have idea what shall I give them.

Save the date, misalette,thank you tags maker - I might hire my talented officemate for this.

My endless Semi-DIY - don't know if I can do all of this (Votive candles, entourage bracelets)

I think I already mentioned this on my previous post. It really pays well if you booked early. You get to book the supplier you are eyeing for. You have lots of time to bond with them to establish that rapport which you need during the wedding. (You want exceptional service right? then  start meeting your suppliers so you can get to know them more). 

The only thing I have to pay attention to right now are suppliers payment which I plan to finish by march next year.
