#ONK2016: 436 Days Left!
Sunday, June 07, 2015안녕하십니까! It's been a while since I posted an update here in my blog. I've been too busy with my newfound 'love'...
- We've finally booked our photographers and videographers - Cupcake Cinema. Yosha! For a frustrated photographer like me, this is one of the hardest part to decide. I've been searching good and yet affordable photographers for years. However, my fiance would always decline my suggestions as he do not want to spend to much on photos. I have no objections on that. But if for the sake of quality, I would still go for a more expensive with good quality than the cheaper ones. I was lucky that I was able to hunt down Cupcake Cinema. And luckier because we are of the same religion. The owner was really nice and easy to talk with. Besides, their works are really great! Their 40k promo which ended months ago is affordable. Although we have not signed any contract yet, the owner assured us that we can still get their promo by giving them a 3k downpayment.
Here are the promo inclusions they offered:
2 Creative Photographers

Not bad right? I'm still undecided on our pre-engagement theme so I haven't contacted them again.
- We've also decided to get Madel's Cuisine as our caterer. They're my former classmate's caterer during their October 2012 wedding. And I can proudly say that their food are appetizing. Ms. Anj, the AE, was really nice and the food that was served to us during our food tasting were delicious. However, we have not booked them yet because we still need to book our reception venue first. We are on a budget so Madel's are the best choice for us.
- For the first time, I was able to visit Divisoria. Fiance and I roamed around the area and looked for potential wedding gown designers. To be candid, I've already have a designer in mind. But her quotation with my gown design was 30k which exceeds are budget for the gown. Thus we tried the area to scout for a more affordable dress. We were able to quote a 13k gown from a shop. Way cheaper than the quotations I got from some other couturiers. I just hope that the designer we'll choose will not trick us because I've read horror stories of former brides that had bad experiences booking couturiers in that area.
- I've finally bought some felt fabrics for my bouquet. For less than 300php, I was able to acquire 8 yards of fabric (2 yards for each colors - blue, red, orange, white). Hoping that I will be able to start it before the end of June.We also purchased locks that I plan to include on my DIY invitation. And oh! My invitation design has also been finalized. We'll just have to look for the paper that suits our theme.
