Our Wedding Cake

While browsing the web for the perfect wedding cake (of course it has to have a bear couple on it!), we came across this very nice cake design--

Pierre and I both loved it, and we started searching for cake suppliers that are also good in customizing cake toppers.

Cake Farm Bakeshop 

We were able to learn about Cake Farm (Kristia Perez-Rubio Baking Studio) from the GirlTalk  Engagement & Weddings Forum.  One bride was raving how beautiful their wedding cake was and so we immediately searched for the cake maker's website. 

Basing on their website, Pie's cakes look really special and the execution is very clean.  So we've emailed her to ask for a quotation and set an appointment for the cake tasting.

We met with Pie at her baking studio in Cavite.  She is very sweet and "machikka", which made us feel more at ease.  Plus her cupcakes are so delicious!  She also made suggestions on how to make our wedding cake more beautiful. :)  Here's what we're getting from her at a very affordable rate:

• 6x6 Chocolate fondant cake
• 100 pcs. Assorted cupcakes with personalized topper (flavors: kahlua, carrot, mango)
• Bear couple cake topper (cold porcelain)
• Free use of cake rack
• Delivery

The Entourage Gowns

Here's a sneak peek of the gown/dress designs that will be worn by our female entourage. :) Actual pictures of the gowns, as created by Rene Belinario, will be posted after our wedding day.

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 :)
