A Beach Wedding

Last week, we organized a beautiful wedding set on the suburbs with a beach front. I have always love destination weddings especially those intimate ones. It is always a picture-perfect sight to behold while the bride walks down the aisle with the beach as her backdrop. The couple’s pictorial would always be magical. And even a simple floral arrangement will make the place lovelier. Just like the simple mums I am setting up on aisle on this picture.

We were also assigned to even make sure patio cushion seating are in place.

Who said only other industry can do a ball? The wedding suppliers of the Philippines just had a 1st Philippine Wedding Industry Ball. It happened last November 27 at the newly-renovated Isla Ballroom of Edsa Shangrila Hotel. All wedding suppliers looked so glamorous that night. It was indeed a night of good food and drinks, music and camaraderie among wedding suppliers. A timely event before the peak season December kicks in. Yes, December is truly a busy month for all wedding suppliers. Here’s how the stage looked like that night…

Now, for the meantime, let me get back to work and also help my cousin to look for entry level cruise ship jobs. ;)

A French Wedding…

No, didn’t attend a wedding yet in France but it was the theme of the wedding of one of the known Chef in the city. They created a French wedding theme with all the Al Fresco set-up. Too bad, I wasn’t able to take pictures but they even had to get those best French bistro furniture which they rented from a known event stylist in the Metro. I love the look and the feel of the entire venue.  Of course the food is superb! This kind of event is worthy to attend.

For our 10th…

In just a few days, we will be celebrating our 10th year wedding anniversary. How time flies so fast! I can barely remember all our wedding preparations, everything that happened that day. It was just like yesterday. Our wedding, just like how I prepare the wedding of my clients was a year of preparation. I painstakingly took charge of all details from canvassing and booking our vendors. One of the highlights as well is choosing our wedding rings. My husband is not so fancy about jewelry. He just wants a plain design. I have searched the internet for wedding bands for men and glad I was able to find something suitable for him.  We will be celebrating our 10th year this year to some nice island escapade and we hope we could do some renewal of vows together, even just the two of us.  And we will definitely be wearing on each other’s ring fingers again our bands.   Looking forward to our trip!

Yes, you read it right, Tungsten are being used now to create wedding bands. Silver, Gold and Platinum are not the only ones being sources of beautiful jewelries including wedding rings. I was searching for nice designs for a bracelet when I landed on this this online seller of triton wedding bands. The pieces are hand-crafted well and the rates are also reasonable. It is something new to consider for those who are getting married.  Look at the samples below…

Wedding on December…

After getting the wedding invitations of a relative this morning, I got really excited about their upcoming wedding on December. It made me realize too that we are just counting the months again for a much-awaited vacation of the family. I actually sat down this morning and tried to come up with a budget plan. I ended up having a headache! Lol! I checked the theme parks which we plan to go to and I almost fainted after learning that they have increased their rates. Now, I need to present to the husband so he can take a look. We need to start saving for this trip.

It’s confirmed…

that i would be one of the principal sponsors for my cousin’s upcoming wedding on January. She already contacted me this week to reconfirm the spelling of my name since she is already preparing for her wedding invitations. They said it is bad luck to turn down such request so I don’t have much choice. My only consolation is that I would have a chance to wear a gown from one of my favorite designers ;) Good thing I still have much time to really get back to shape so I would at least look decent on a formal wear.

Joint Bridal Shower Invitations

Bridal Invitations

Bridal Invitations

The maid of honor of my friend’s wedding already sent out the joint Bridal Shower Invitations that would happen on January next year. I love the concept of the shower invitations because it doubles as a rehearsal dinner invitations. All entourage are invited to attend, both male and female and it was very nice idea. I’m sure it would be more fun.

The maid of honor, who happens to be the sister of the bride made a good research on where to order the invitations. In fact, I am suprised that even the bridal invitation came from one online supplier only which is http://www.cardsshoppe.com/. In fact, she was able to get a very good deal since she got both cards from them, she was able to get some free invitation cards and even free shipping on some. She definitely recommends CardsShoppe as she said you can practically do whatever you want in the cards selections they have like inserting photos or images, changing colors or fonts and sometimes even the design.

Now, all we can think of is the upcoming bridal shower and of course the wedding since we saw how beautiful the invitations were. It was practically our first impression of the events.

Receiving Wedding Invitations

Wedding Invitation

Wedding Invitation

Do not be suprised if you would receive a number of Wedding Invitations this time. It’s the season of the year wherein weddings are abundant. A number of soon-to-wed couples are choosing December as their wedding month so there would be wedding announcements left and right. So now, it is important  to actually release wedding invitation atleast minimum a month before the wedding so that guests can plan ahead their attendance much more their gifts for the couple and even their attire ;)  And because of trying times, others are just inviting and sending shower invitations to friends without inviting them to the wedding itself. But this is kinda unethical actually. So better do your guestlist planning very carefully.

Speaking of wedding invitations, you can find unique and exclusive designs availble only at Express-Invitations. You can even put a photo, a monogram logo to whatever card you may choose. Nowadays, ordering wedding invitations can also be done online. Check out their site at http://www.express-invitations.com/ to see fabulous pieces that may interest you.
