Anything Under The Sam

Got this idea from pinterest and made my own version. I asked my Tito to make a large frame with holes on the side. He also provided me the strings.

We bought the wooden clips at tabora for P100 (50pcs) and the papemelrotti wedding quotes is something that I got from a friends wedding back in 2007 I guess. ^_^ I printed some of my favorite picture during the e-session (P80). ..and here you go!

This frame is for rent. ^_^ for P200

Originally I wanted to wear something like this... But ofcourse I can't hahhaha. so I just find other ways to at least get the feel of it.

so here it is my champaigne colored  wedding dress.

considering the budget and the time it would be practical for us to buy ready made - that's the idea.
but because of my size.  nothing fits. ( **Sigh ) we have to pay for extra and have are dress tailored.

Found my dress in divisoria along Tabora. It cost us P6000 including the long back gown and accessories.
Thanks to my tita who made some alteration to hide some parts (armpit) that I don't want to be exposed.

The sleeves and the bag cost me P200.



I'm so happy that we are able to find the dress that we want without spending much.

Tips:

The trip to divisoria is very challenging for us .. If it is possible leave early around 3pm. and also make sure to check if the accessories are complete.

Layout Front

This is our  only chance to be a star on our own movie wedding. and I so love the outcome.
This is the first time that we make use of our pre nup photos.

Layout for entourage and map

It actually took us time to finalize the list of entourage that's why invitation were only sent 3 weeks before the wedding. Maps were provided in Largos Gardens facebook so it is easy for me to tweek it a bit.  Thanks to mr. google for the inspiration. and to all the people who help me proof read to make sure everything written is correct.

The Front Cover cost 10 pesos ( photo paper and print ) and the 7 pesos ( paper and print ) plus ribbon and gift card. and estimate of  P22 per invitation. Around 60 Copies were printed.

Tips: The material is very important. Try to create a sample first before buying in bulk. Stick to your wedding colors. Proof read ten times of more before printing it. Remember your invitation will give the first impression of what to look out for in your wedding so make a statement (w0w factor baga..hehhe).

Time really flies so fast.. I'ts been a week already since we exchange our vows. Our wedding is one unforgettable event of my life. I still can feel the jitters. Everything seem so happy and wonderful in that day ~ though its not perfect but it is still beautiful. ^_^

Planning and Budgeting
We only have 2 months to prepare for this wedding with a 100 thousand pesos budget for 150 guest equals Cramming to the max. and major major stress but still its the most challenging and enjoyable part of the wedding.... and Im kinda get use to it. At times I felt like I'm the ony one worrying on the stuff that needed to be done. Hubby is always around but ideas and organizing part comes mostly from me. So much dramas (well specially on PMS days). Im still thankful to all people who have help me along the way. To my parents, friends, officemates, and churchmates. whom litterally some I abused. Their time and talent are so precious and priceless without them the wedding would not be a success.

In Search for Suppliers
Hubby and I make sure that every week we will be able to finalize our suppliers. Countless visits and phonecalls to make sure that they met our budget without sacrifizing the quality.

DIY
This wedding is DIY heavy.. It saves us money and kinda my thing. I'ts more personilize and it something that you can be proud of.

Lessons..

Bride may be so into wedding prep but never forget the very reason why you are having this wedding. Crap the wedding details. Just enjoy the journey and what really matters most is that You will be at last united to your one true love. Ayii

People will dissapoint you. just get over it. During the last part of the preparations some things did not go well as planned. Some committed to do this and do that ~ but didn't show up or just given a portion of what they really promised. What to do? were just asking favors so dissapointing but just get over it. "Usad na!"

Invest on the Organizer Team, Photo and Video, and Food.

God provides so cheer up.
