Wedding Band and Strings
Music would always be part of weddings. They would either come through choir, strings ensemble or full bands with percussion instruments paired with great vocals that would uplift the mood during ceremonies and reception programs. As we went through our own wedding vendor’s bookings, as music lovers ourselves, we made sure that we would definitely hire…
Online Wedding Supplier Booking: Weddingscape PH
While browsing my FB timeline and reading bridal related articles, with my hot black coffee in tow, I saw this advert by a popular online wedding magazine in the Philippines – Merry to Marry. They launched this new feature called the Weddingscape which is like a portal to easily book awesome wedding suppliers in the…
Wedding Supplier Contract Details

Both parties have agreed to the services to be rendered and everything written on the piece of paper should be followed or executed, if not, legal actions can be taken. Wedding/Event Supplier contracts apply the same rules which are…
Our Wedding Preps Timeline 2015
Looking back at the old posts that we did for this blog which contained all of our various wedding supplier researches, I felt the need to review again the preparations that we have done so far. Although we already have a list to summarize all that we have booked, it’s still interesting to look back…
Do you need a Wedding Coordinator?
I’ve heard a lot of people ask that – from online forums, Facebook groups or even my friends who will be getting married like me. Of course, I’d definitely say yes. It’s based on my personal opinion as someone who had previous experience working with events. Some would think it’s a waste of money since…
Useful Wedding Souvenirs
Early this morning while looking at our own wedding checklist, I noticed that we haven’t talked much about wedding souvenirs probably because we still have 11 months in our hands. Then I saw this post on Pinterest and checked my Instagram account regarding souvenirs. Then, it made me think about the reasons for getting a…
Bridal Fairs in Manila 2016: Part 2
Wedding expos are a godsend for soon-to-wed couples! Just the thought of going to a single place and all your potential suppliers present with all their awesome freebies, promos and discounts when you do on-the-spot booking is exciting! Plus, you can even win Php 500K worth on their raffle! Isn’t that awesome? Now I wish…
Wedding Planner Journal
When I went back to Manila, one of the things that I kept in mind was to buy myself a wedding planner journal. I went to 3 big known bookstores but didn’t find any. When I went to the Wedding Library shop in SM North, I found wedding magazines hanging on their stands and…
Bridal Fairs in Manila 2016
Combined with just the perfect cool weather, festive feeling because of Christmas and a time known for family gatherings and reunions, the BER months is not only considered as a joyous holiday season but it is also known as a peak season for Philippine Weddings especially during mid November and December. Couples either tend to get engaged…
WAW Online Bridal Fair 2016
Being a W@Wie has its perks and one of it was knowing first hand about this Online Bridal Fair organized by Mimma Benz Co-Rana, W@W founder. Imagine, you don’t need to personally meet up with potential suppliers for your wedding, but you just only need a good internet connection, your laptop/desktop/smartphone/tablet and an active…
Comprehensive Wedding Guide Planner
Early this morning when I opened my email I received this message from Hizon’s, one of the country’s best caterers about their 2015 Comprehensive Wedding Guide Planner. Curious, I signed up and downloaded a copy for myself. The book, I must say, contains great articles and valuable information for brides-to-be like us. Although we already…
Lights and Sounds Suppliers
Honestly, I wasn’t even aware that there is a big need for a great Lights and Sounds supplier for our wedding day. Usually, when receptions and caterers have been booked, they’re already inclusive in the package like a 3-in-1 combo. Unfortunately that’s not how it is in the real world — unless you’re okay with…
Wedding Churches in Manila
People have their own vision of what a perfect wedding ceremony would look like. Some want to do the unconventional way of tying the the knot on a garden, beach resort, clubhouse, museum, events venue or even under water on scuba outfits – but nothing would beat the traditional way of getting hitched on a beautiful…
Wedding Hair and Make Up Artist
HMUA or Hair and Makeup Artist are thought mostly important for the Bride, since her HMUA will have to make sure that she’s THE most gorgeous on her wedding day. Though in some cases Grooms also have their own grooming preferences which should also be considered. In Manila, there are tons of known HMUAs in the…
Wedding Checklist 2
My fiance and I both know that when we did our initial wedding checklist, it wouldn’t stop with that. Although we wanted to just focus on the most important details, as we go on with our wedding planning, a LOT of other things started popping out of nowhere. These are things that we thought we…
Filipino Wedding Gown Couture
The bride’s gown has been (and always will be) the centerpiece of a wedding event. Whether the ceremony is well decorated, the reception has the best food being served, the groom looked dashing or the flowers are just magical. Nothing still beats the attention that the bride will receive on her wedding day. And yes, all…
Supplier Online Interviews: Wedding Coordinator
Since we became officially engaged and has started to do our wedding checklist, fiance and I both decided to hire a professional coordinator who would help us in our wedding planning. Because we have already booked the date, church, reception venue and catering service for our wedding – which is considered under the category of…
Wedding Venues in Manila
For wedding receptions or even for non-traditional ceremonies, Events Venues have been quite popular lately. It’s probably because of the growing trend of themed-styling which has definitely become an “it” thing. From classical to garden to seasons to rustic to even Games of Thrones, name it you can have it now. Seriously. That’s how fun wedding receptions has…
Wedding Checklist
At exactly 23 months, I’ll be a happily married woman. But before that happens, me and future hubby needed to go through this once-in-a-lifetime-adventure called wedding planning. We could actually hire a full wedding planner/coordinator to help us out do everything especially since we are currently based overseas, but for now we intend to make…
