First the reception décor: I just had another meeting with Lala of Interplay today and I must tell you she is really a sweetheart!! She sent me her quotation last Thursday and when I got it, I was really happy! Sobrang within budget sya plus everything I wanted was there! From the fishbowls, to the fruits, to the ceiling treatment down to the stage décor and to the stair entrance arrangements! As in sobrang detailed! I was really very surprised! So syempre I texted her and asked for another meeting so we can talk about it again. Kanina, we met at ATC Seattle’s Best. She was a bit late but I didn’t mind coz it gave me and Gel time to really think about how we want the reception to be. We want it relaxed, fun, conducible to guests roaming around and not just stay seated but of course elegant and welcoming. When she came we started brainstorming on the whole concept. I liked how she handles clients, she is very professional and straightforward, not the super chika kind of supplier where we spend almost half the time talking about so many other things except about the wedding. Syempre my last question was how we can still bring down the cost (this is given that the cost now is really very reasonable na!) We talked about what we can take out and she is very open naman. We decided to do an ocular next Saturday at Manila Polo so we will all have a better perspective. Over-all I am one very happy client and I am really looking forward to a beautiful reception because of Lala at a very reasonable price!
Next, my gown: I went to Joel Bautista last Saturday to pick-up the second set of gown designs. I wasn’t able to talk to him coz he had a client pero when I saw the designs I was amazed! He gave me three extra sketches, two of which I really, really liked, but one just stands out! It is the one I was telling him about, an off shoulder A-line gown with a lace upper body. I loved it! The back part though is something I want to talk to him about again. I want drama kasi on the train part eh, and medyo simple pa kasi yung likod ng gown. Hehehe yun na lang and I think my gown is final na!
Then the invitations: Before going to Joel last Saturday we went to Printed Matters in Q.C. Boy is it far! Pero when we saw Phoebe’s samples I was take aback! These are the kind of invites I was looking for for so long na! Not the usual engraved, ecru card you usually see. This is full colour, personally designed cards! She first showed me her samples, and explained to me her costings. Grabe she has a P20 invitation card! Imagine that! After she showed me all her works both me and Gel agreed that she is the girl who can put my ideas to life in terms of our invitations. So we quickly asked her to make a design for us. I showed her a picture of an invitation card I saw in a magazine; it’s a folded invitation with a drawing of a couple in front. She said she will design me something like it and will show me next Saturday how it will look like! Grabe super fast!! I’ll just have to e-mail her this week the data, entourage lists and all, and she can proceed to make the mock!
Lastly, the reception: After Joel Bautista we proceeded to Manila Polo to pay our security deposit. Got to talk with our AE about some other concerns we had. She seems really nice and very helpful. Hopefully she’ll stay nice until our wedding day hehehe.
Oops meron pa pala: Yesterday, Sunday, the remaining half of my entourage has finally gotten their measurements taken. I was really happy when Ofelia showed me the fabrics she has already bought. Seeing the actual fabric made me more excited than ever. Hopefully next week I’d be able to bring the flower girls in for measurement so she can start on the gowns na!
Haaay! Didn't I tell you that this was such a beautiful weekend! :)
