Wedding Preps Series: My Supplier Reviews and Ratings

It's been a while! It's been months since I have blogged about anything. After the wedding, my husband and I have been so pre-occupied with stuff about our new home - buying furniture, appliances, and some improvements that we had to / wanted to make. In fact, as of this very moment while I am in front of my laptop, a "family carpenter" (if there is such thing) of Yan's is currently working on the back splash of our kitchen counter. We still have a lot to accomplish and we are taking it one step at a time.  Not to mention the adjustment that we both had to go through after we moved in. The cleaning, cooking, paying, taking care of everything. Ok, enough of the home making chika, I will discuss about this on separate posts soon, I'll proceed to the reviews and ratings of our wedding suppliers.


Our wedding has been so fun and memorable, thanks to our friends and families, and of course to our suppliers. It would not have been as fun and organized without their help and expertise. I am so grateful that God has led us to these wonderful suppliers, I can say that we have made the right decision in getting each of them. Here are my honest reviews and ratings of them to help other bride-to-be's in their decisions.

Wedding Preps Series: Big Day is Coming!

We are barely two weeks away from our wedding day! I just can't believe it! Looking at my list I still have a lot to do! Yes. More than a year of planning, and here I am weeks from my wedding and I am still busy.

Quickly grabbed my tablet for updates. I missed you all bride to be's. My biggest dilemma is my wedding dress. It won't fit me comfortably since I got back from Cambodia 2 weeks ago. Imagine my horror. Since then I've been working out religiously, I'm watching my diet. No rice for now. Limited carb intake. I'm also drinking One Earth's Detox Trim Tea which seems to be effective. Since I started drinking it, I don't feel bloated at all.  I am selling a few more boxes, so email me if you're in need.  I don't starve myself - no one should! I just eat right. More fiber, whole grains are great, low fat yogurt, nuts, fruits ans veggies, fish, chicken breast. Easy on beef and pork.  I have no doubts I can fit into my dress comfortably again before the wedding. But I admit, I resent everything I ate in Cambodia.

Wedding Preps Series: Marriage License Application in Manila

I know we all hate this part right here.... (cue: I Hate This Part by Pussycat Dolls) 
But we do not have a choice, do we? If you are getting married, you must get a marriage license. So my post is here to help. We've already secured our license a month ago. Since I am from Manila we applied it in Manila City Hall.  It isn't as hard as we think, relax.


Wedding Preps Series: Two Months to Go!

We're getting there. In two months we will tie the knot and we are so excited! That one day we have prepared for for more than a year will finally come. Two months!!!


So in terms of getting things accomplished, we're  almost done with all of the major stuff, as well as most minor things.  A rundown of our suppliers:

Wedding Preps Series: Dangwa Florist Booked

Flowers is one thing (of the things) I don't want to splurge on for our wedding. I'd rather receive something edible than flowers that I have no use of and will wilt after a few days. I don't hate flowers,  they're beautiful creations of God, I just don't find it worthy to spend so much on them. Unfortunately, we need flowers for our wedding and flower arrangements can be really expensive, there's nothing I can do about those two facts of life. But, I can do something to lessen the cost of flowers - there always is!
