Our Wedding Cake

Our cake is a wedding gift of our Ninang Lisa. Her sister owns a bakeshop in Las Piñas and our ninang gladly volunteered to take in charge of our wedding cake. It’s all edible 2 layer fondant moist chocolate cake with fillings and chocolate flavored cupcakes. Though the design is a bit different on what we’ve provided, it’s no doubt mouth-watering delicious. Even some of our guests who were able to taste the cupcakes commented and asked about it.

Our Registration Table

I didn’t expect that Quidos, our caterer will put lots of wedding details in our registration table. If I only knew we didn’t put much effort in adding more as it was okay already for me. (Less work, more budget, haha!), hubby and I just doesn't want it to look too blank. Anyway, hubby and I really enjoyed doing it (well more me on that side) so it's okay. All the frames, pinwheels the letter boxes were all our labor of love.

Materials Used: Frames, Jar, Pinwheels, Letter boxes, Ribbons, Pink Bucket

Sadly, our photographers wasn't able to capture all our DIY's, huhu, I should've reminded them to do that.
























Side Kwento's...

We initially colored the letters silver but it didn't quite look good so we changed it to the closest color that we've got to the theme. Much better than Silver.

Testing our crafty side

We also added “Guess How Many Kisses Game” upon registering. That’s why there's a jar of Kisses in the table. The winner was announced after the party. We saw that all our guests were excited to know who the lucky guesser is; they all wanted the jar of Kisses. The lucky winner was my Maid of Honor’s boyfriend Jeck. Btw, Kaye, my MOH was 2 months pregnant on my wedding so I believe Jeck won the prize because of the lucky baby. :)

Winner!

Our Wedding Reception Details

 I do not like HELLO KITTY.

I do not provide specific instructions for our wedding reception setup. Upon discussing the theme to Ms. Gina, I felt that she’s quite new with the whimsical theme. I kept on saying that it’s a bit close to the shabby chic with a whimsical effect and showed some sample pictures. I felt that she only recognizes when I say shabby chic. So not to confuse her, I agreed with it. I just discussed my DIYs so the team will know that I'll provide the table numbers and the pinwheels.

As we entered the hall, I didn’t expect that it will look like it, in a good way. I loved it actually. We only had the standard package but the stage setup was for upgraded. Ms. Gina knew that I wanted a couch setup but we do not have stage so we brushed the idea off but their team was able to work on it, added the couch even without the stage. My DIY centerpieces looked good on and overall I am very satisfied. If you're considering Quidos and wanted to be specific, make sure to discuss every detail to them. For us, the surprise factor worked because we didn’t expect that they will put lots of elements on the venue and exceeded on what we've discussed for the look. Ms. Gina is also very flexible with your requests. We absolutely recommend Quidos Grill for a very affordable yet elegant caterer for your wedding ;)

And uhh, for the Hello Kitty on the table, okay, cge na nga… :p

I love the rustic effect.

My Wedding Dress

The collection of some of the gowns that I've fitted :p

The quest for the wedding dress.

Splurging for the wedding dress is a big no for me. I know it will be a bit hard getting a decent wedding dress that’s within our budget. If you're willing to sacrifice a bit, then the top notch is to look in Divisoria. Here, you just need to prepare yourself for a looong walk and the crowd. I wanted a simple ready made gown so I'll immediately see how it will look on me and to avoid the hassle of fittings. It took 3 Divisoria trips for me to find the "this is it" gown with the help of my mom, cousin and my tita.

And the winning dress is...

I just wanted it simple and suit my body type :)

The groom’s suit was also from Divisoria but it’s custom made.

He got a lot of compliments for this suit

What can you say?

The total for both the suit and the gown cost only 12,000 pesos. That's 6000 pesos each, complete with accessories. We bought it at 168mall. The gown/bridal section is on the 1st and 4th floor area. Also do not forget to haggle and surely you'll get a good deal.

Bridal Shower (Latepost)

 

Sharing my bridal shower organized by these lovely ladies :) Spell E-F-F-O-R-T!

And also, these two made my day extra special. Toffer - my former office mate pretended to be the gigolo for the night (and a very good actor :p) and Arjie one of my entourage arrived straight from MY just to be present at the surprise party.

grabbed from my ig account - I can't find the original copies

There were lots of food, games, drinks and laughter! It was a truly memorable night for me. Thanks again ladies!

Our Wedding Preparation at Parque España

A very spacious room 3 bedroom suite

It was Parque España that won our heart to be our wedding preparation venue. Though we do have several choices in Alabang area, Parque España won our requirements for our wedding preps. It is spacious and clean, although you should not expect a huge lobby or a staircase here because it’s typical residence hotel and probably the most affordable among the hotels nearby. We're after the hotel room and actually considering our budget as well. The option is either getting a not so spacious room in a more expensive hotel or to get a larger bedroom suite here. We decided to have the larger bedroom suite to ensure that the hotel room will not be very crowded and crossed out the idea of getting a picturesque lobby with me for the sake of good photos. We availed their bridal bliss package and just add another family room for the groom and his family. We booked the 3br Suite and another 2br Family, total of 13,750 pesos. We’re all satisfied and absolutely no regrets. 

This package is a good deal for a budget bride
