Wedding Detailing: Cake
I’m a cake aficionado but ironically it was part of the least priority in our wedding checklist since we are on a budget and our minds are already occupied with the other “big things”. Also we didn’t bother in sourcing out a wedding cake supplier because initially our Wedding Cake is already part of our caterer’s…
Wedding Budget Costing
Preparing for a wedding needs thorough budget analysis since not all couples have the same income. Some may have prepared for their big day and have spent years in saving for the potential expenses while some only started to put aside a portion of their income or savings after getting engaged. Whether you are a rich kid…
2016 WAW Top 10 Wedding Suppliers
It’s really interesting to note that ever since we started our wedding planning, everytime we get to know good feedback from real life couples who got the same suppliers that we did, we always feel proud and more excited to see their output for our wedding. What moe knowing that your booked suppliers are the…
Certificate of Freedom to Marry
While in the middle of completing our documents for our wedding (89 days to go! Yay!), we stumbled into this so-called Certificate of Freedom to Marry. At first, we thought having a CENOMAR from NSO is already good, but then again when you’re a Catholic and based overseas for more than 6 months (better check…

Just like last year, Weddings At Work (W@W), the biggest community for Filipino couples intending to get married has now launched it’s second online bridal fair with a great list of reputable and known wedding suppliers in the country. Reservations can easily be done by directly contacting the desired supplier through email/mobile/Viber/skype/FB and quoting that they…
Wedding Supplier Contract Cancellation
Technically, contracts are made between two parties where the first party is the Supplier/Vendor and the second party would be the couple, who seeks the services of the first one. Just like in any contracts or business dealings, there are times when either parties involved thought of cancelling the agreement. During wedding preps, this occurs occassionally…
Supplier Pencil Booking No-No
I know not everyone would agree with me on this but pencil booking literally sucks. Yes, I need to vent right now because we had been frustrated for a week because of this HMUA that we were talking to for our engagement shoot. Talk about some wedding preps stress! Well we tried to book this certain HMUA…
PreNup Shoot Preparations
If there’s one thing we learned this past couple of weeks, it’s about the exclusivity of Engagement/Pre Nuptial shoots. Trust me, they’re like a separate entity from the whole wedding planning in itself. Yes, it’s true that the output from doing such will play a role up to the big day – hence reminders for…
PreNup Stylists
Great styling is certainly a must when it comes to pictorial and/or video shoots. This shows the fashion statement of the subject – the couple – using different types of looks depending on the preferred theme. The E-sesh style concept can be either fierce, romantic, funny, formal, simple, country, creative, rustic, sporty, cosmo etc During…
Wedding Preps Struggles
Yes you read that right. The title just says what this post is all about. I’m venting out here and I think it’s just normal right? Anyway we’re going to talk about the daily struggles of Wedding Preparations especially for Overseas couples like us. First off, it’s exactly 6 months from now for our big day! Time…
Online Wedding Supplier Booking: Trippix
Booking wedding vendors has really come a long way now. Before, couples who are doing their wedding preps would either need to sign up for bridal fairs, get a full planner to scout for reputable suppliers for them or hop from one wedding shop to another just to find that perfect supplier to be part of…
Wedding Invitations
Stationeries which contained the details of an event like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc would always make any occasion feel proper. Invitations or invites as some would call it, is composed of a set of specialized paper or craft that is personally designed and created to include the necessary details to suit the preferred theme of…
Our Wedding Preps Timeline 2016: Part 1
New Year, New life. A couple of months from now, we’ll be married and all of this will just be a great memory. But, looking back, as we continue with our wedding preparations we were proud that we have accomplished a few major suppliers that we can now tick off from our list. We learned…
Wedding Caterers
Food. Food. Food. It’s definitely one of THE most important elements in a wedding reception or any formal event. During such celebrations, Filipinos are very keen especially when it comes to what the celebration has to offer. Below is a list of known caterers based in Manila (except for Ladera) that we have considered during the…
Free Jason Magbanua Video
Yes, you read that right. It’s not a joke. It’s the awesome Jason Magbanua working for Free! I thought I was just dreaming when I heard the news so when I checked his site, lo and behold, it was indeed true! Is it Christmas now? Definitely not. But this — is something no one should ever miss!…
DIY: Save The Date Video
Weddings would always entail spending to book the best possible suppliers that you and your fiancĂ© can afford. But it doesn’t mean that you guys need to splurge on everything because it would still depend on your budget. DIYs or do-it-yourself has become a trend lately especially for budget-conscious couples. Instead of booking wedding vendors…
Wedding Legal Requirements in the Philippines
Marriage is a legal union between a man and woman under the eyes of the law and church (for those who also considers this). When doing wedding preps, both the couple needs to make sure that all their legal documents are ready. But where should you start? Filipinos who are both based in the Philippines…
Wedding Lingo and Abbreviations
Whenever my fiancĂ© and I would talk, even on chat, while discussing things about our wedding preps I would usually use shortened terms or abbreviations that he would be like — OOT what? Every now and then I would make it a point to explain to him everything that I would say in order for…
Philippine Online Wedding Resources
Overseas wedding planning can be a hassle, especially if both couple is based abroad. During wedding preps, many would resort to ask help from relatives who are based in Manila (or wherever they are living) to go to bridal fairs, check out wedding vendors and even book suppliers on behalf of the couple, but would…
