Supplier Ratings

Almost 4 months have passed since our “Beary Special Day”. :)  Our wedding have been successful with the support and help of the Lord, our family, and suppliers.  Many thanks to all our friends, family and loved ones who came to celebrate with us!

I have always wanted to write a Supplier Ratings after our wedding so I can share it with my co-W@W brides, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough time for it.  And also partly because I don’t want to dwell on the negative stuff that were encountered during our wedding anymore..  So I’ll just do it like this—

If Pierre and I were to get married again, we will not have second thoughts in getting the following suppliers again:

1.  HMUA: Ms. Victoria Gonzalez

2.  OTD Coordinator: Events Management Services

3.  Gown: Carmen Lazaro / VonCar Couture

4.  Entourage Gowns: Rene Belinario

5.  Music: Libante Strings

6.  Venue: Sonya’s Garden

7.  Lodging: Taal Vista

8.  Invitations: Printed Matter

9.  Photobooth: Pose and Print

10.  Wedding Rings: Mandy Castro

11.  Lights and Sounds: JS Mina

12.  Projector and Screen: Metrotech

13.  Candy Buffet: Andrew Toledo

14.  Wedding Cord: Project Dream Wedding

15.  Ate Jen and the kuyas for paving the dirt road going to Caleruega

To all of them, thank you very much for making our wedding such a wonderful event!

To the soon-to-be brides and grooms out there, remember that not all weddings will turn out perfectly as what you’ve planned, but don’t stress too much about it.  Everything happens for a reason and is intended by God.    Just, enjoy the moment and smile!  Happy preps and stay in love!  Just send me a message if you want to learn more about our suppliers. :)

P.S. We haven’t gotten the output of our videographer yet.  We will give an update as soon as we have it (but only if it turned out okay). :)

The Wedding Gown

I have always dreamed of our wedding day -- the flowers, the music, the food, the people, my make-up, my groom... but not my wedding dress. :)

Before, the wedding gown is not on top of my priority list, since I don't want to spend too much money on a dress that I will only get to wear once!  But as I browse through various blogs and websites, and I see the brides glowing and looking so graceful in their wedding dresses, I understood why some people would really want to splurge on it.

VonCar Couture

I was able to find out about Carmen Lazaro Couture or VonCar Couture throgh W@W and GirlTalk.  I have sent the design to their email and got Von's reply.  I found their quote very much reasonable and within our budget, so I have set-up a meeting with Von during my mandatory leave.

Von was very nice and perky.  I instantly liked him, his angels, and the P200 pretty wedge shoes from Divi, so even if they're the only supplier that I have spoken to for my wedding gown, I've immediately booked them. :)

Here's the additional accessories that comes with their package:

• Bride's Accessories - Bridal Veil (6 Meters, Soft Illusion Tulle), Bridal Pouch/Purse, Bride’s Headdress, Bride’s Leg Garter
• Accessories for the Ceremony - Ring Bearer’s Pillow, Bible Bearer’s Pillow, Sponsor’s Veil, Sponsor’s Cord, Arrhae, Bible Ribbon/Garter
• We'll pay a little extra for Mannequin Set-up + OTD Bridal Assistance :)
