because I always want to remember the sound of my child playing, laughing and singing in her charming little voice; because I want to keep a sweet reflection of my life dreams; because I want to celebrate great relationships; because I want to share little moments that have filled my heart with joy; because I want to tell stories and lessons I have learned, I blog.

Wedding Expo Fever!


woohooh ;-) Yesterday, we went to the Wedding Expo at PICC! i was amazed because we were able to book a lot of suppliers. Pretty strange coz we went there to book only minor suppliers like acclaim for the butterfly release at the church; but unexpected things happen... we end up changing our caterer and makeup artist.


We love attending wedding expos and bridal fairs. It's a one stop shop that allows you to get the best deals from suppliers! We met lanie acedillo (she's pretty) and we booked her on the spot. I have a prior sked for my trial hair and makeup with Val Villarin. But Lanie was our first choice and we're impressed by her background (she had her training at CLAMAR, ICI Institute, L'oreal Academy, Toni and Guy Singapore, etc.); hence, when we found out that she's offering a 20% discount on her package and THMU, we did not have second thoughts of settling the reservation. To be fair with Val, we immediately informed him of our decision to cancel our sked so he'll be able to accommodate other brides. It's not that we have made whimsy decisions but we weighed things carefully and we're unable to resist the tempting offer - lotsa freebies, discounts and nice packages!... plus we got more chances of winning in the raffle - trip to hongkong and bangkok!After the wedding expo, we had ocular inspections of three hotels along makati avenue: Astor, Milleniumm Plaza, and City Garden... These were the most accessible hotels so far. We checked the one bedroom suite and took pictures as well. We want to consider other hotels before deciding.
