3 months to go.. Still got few more suppliers to book

Time check. Its 3 months to go before our big day. Upon checking my checklist,  I still have around 3 or 4 things which I have not yet booked. I'm not worried though. hahahaa. I'm thinking I could book these on the September 2011 bridal fair at SMX. Hopefully they are still available. 

a.) LCD/Video Projector. I'm thinking on getting Metrotech for this due to good feedbacks in w@w like good quality and affordable price. If not, I might get the projector from MG Digital Video. Will ask my coordinator's thoughts on this.

b.) Bridal car. I am eyeing fly cars to manila. They got a very nice package. 8 hours use, free floral arrangements, free gas/toll/parking fees. You just need to give meal allowance to the driver. Not bad eh? The only downside is, they got only a few vintage bridal cars. But since this is not really my priority, I think any car will do.We'll see.

c.) Missalette maker. I found a multiply seller (Customized design) that makes misalette. I just need to give them the misalette contents, my preferred misalette design cover and they do the printing and all that stuff. They work pretty fast like a week before the wedding kaya nila so I might get their services na lang. Tamad kasi talaga akong mag-DIY eh. I don't have annyyy talent. (hehehe. may emphasis yan).

d.) My prenups MUA. Yeah. I still don't have this one. I am contemplating whether to get Jesy's half day services or get another MUA. Mejo malaki rin kasi mase-save ko if I get another MUA since some artists offers 3k or even lower for a half day shoot.  I might get Rae Venturanza (if she is still available on my day as she was my boudoir make up artist so kahit paano I know how she works na rin). If not, I will just look for other suppliers in the bridal fair. I might get some discounts pa.hehehe..

So there you go.. mejo madami pa. The thing is, these are just minor elements na lang of my wedding. Or rather, if I don;t get a certain supplier, I know there are lots of suppliers out there offering the same services/products and I know at the end of the day, I will still get what I need. I'm not very picky over these items pero syempre its still important part of my wedding.

I'm excited for the bridal fair. hehehe. Probably the last bridal fair I will attend before the big day.

Wedding details.. Didn't know this is hard... :-)

Time check: 3 months to go before our big day. As usual, I'm still laid back as ever and haven't done so much wedding related activities for the past 4 months. Still adjusting with my work as I moved to a different team. Lots of things to do so I kinda neglected my wedding preps (Hayss. kung kelan naman malapit na wedding saka pa dumami ginagawa ko sa office...) I realized that I need to get back on track when some of my wedding suppliers are asking for updates already.Let me enumerate those:

a.) Wedding accessories - Che of Princessweds sent me a text message confirming the shade of red that will be used for my wedding pillows (ring and arrhae). and the design of the brooch that will be used on my wedding cord. Scheduled delivery will be September 2011.

b.) Entourage gowns - Ate Ana (Jheff Fashion House) updated me that they have already bought the fabrics to be used for the gowns of my ento. Actually, she updates me regularly on the progress of the gowns. That's what I like about her. Very transparent. She informed me that the shade of red has changed a bit when they ordered the fabric and she wants me to see those perhaps to get my approval. Will do this by end of August.

c.)  Bridal gown - Cecilio Abad. I just had my second fitting and got so giddy with how my gown actually looked like. Its not halfway done but the fit is so perfect it could pass as a final product for those who are not maselan sa gown. hehehe. Got two more fittings to go and ate Ikyat told me I lost weight again. (that's good news) so she had to alter the gown. Cecil is soo particular with the fit of the gown. Galing talaga. Isang tingin pa lang nya on my gown while I am wearing it, he knows something needs to be altered. 

d.) Mock set up. K by Cunanan Catering. I will have a mock setup this coming first week of September so that I can get an idea how the reception decors would look like. That way, I still have time to modify my designs or if I need an upgrade of the flowers. Still don't know but hoping they could execute the designs I have chosen at no extra cost.  I have also requested for another food tasting as I have not tasted some of the dishes that is on my original list and I need to know if I have to choose other menu so that I could get a feedback from my w@w sisses on what's a good alternative. Side kwento: I didn't know that there are several ways to fold a napkin. Macy let me choose which fold I like since I am doing a semi-DIY of the napkin holder for the VIP tables. Na-stress yata ako dun.  

e.) Wedding Invitations (Printdivas). just received the first draft of our invites. I noticed that the font style I used doesn't look good as some names are unreadable. Didn't know that invites can cause too much stress as I need to figure out which font style is good to use, the wordings, the design and all that stuff. Good thing that Gary, my AE in Printdivas and the part-owner Thea ( i think) is very patient with me regarding the font style. Another thing is that my entourage list is not yet final as I am still waiting for my bridesmaid to confirm whether her annual leave has been approved. But so far, the first draft is ok na. Well, I am not that particular talaga with the invites.Whatever will look good when printed out and the names and details are all correct, I am fine. On another note, I think I need to pay more attention on this as the price is Php 140.00/piece. Not cheap. Maarte lang kasi talaga ako, I am always a fan of embossed invitations plus I have crystal beads pa on the invitation. Fair enough I guess. hhehee.

Will give an update on the endless task I need to do.. For now, I need to choose my song lists for the wedding..
