Monograms by ME!

It's a Saturday night and no visit from Hubby today. Sigh! He is with friends and I am here stuck in front of my laptop. Bored but still thinking about the upcoming wedding, I started making our monograms. Inspired by the world wide web and minding our chocolate themed wedding, I tried  making ours thru Microsoft PowerPoint. I cant believe I was able to make two in such a short time! Imagine the possibilities if I study and learn photoshop! Hmmmmmm.. Not a bad idea... Maybe I should and do this for a living.. Hahahaha! Sounds Fun!

Presenting our monograms and my FIRST DIY!

Chocolaty!

Makes my wanna munch on chocolates!

Now where can we use these babies???  Hahahah! ^_____^

The Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses!

For several weeks our weekends are reserved for the wedding preparations, but last Sunday, Lovey and I decided to go to Divisoria for our Christmas shopping. While scouring every corner of 168, my eyes almost popped when I saw a dark chocolate brown dress hanging in one of the stalls. From a far I knew it was the same purple 7-in-1 dress my sister wore for her wedding prenuptial shoot 2 years ago, only this time it was in Daaaaaaaaaaaark Chocolaty Brown! The exact hue I want for my wedding motif! Yeiy!!!

Aside from the purrrrrrfect color its perfect because its less than one thousand pesos! Much affordable than the 7-in-1 dresses online and way more affordable than the gowns made to order! Even before finding the dress, we already asked our girls to shoulder their gowns due to our tight budget. At least with this fabulous find they will be able to use the dresses for other occasions! Now its just like I asked them to invest on a perfect dress! Hahahahah!

By the way, its called the 7-in-1 dress but your are limited only to your imagination!

Next week we need to decide what style will be for the MOH, Secondary Sponsors and Bridesmaid! Will post pictures as soon as we have our final decision. For the mean time the picture below is almost the same style and color of the dresses! PERFECT!!!

The dresses we have are knee-length! Almost the same color!

We got Nice Print for our P/V!

We have been officially engaged Nov.14, 2010 but we have been planning our wedding early October pa. Up to last week  our accomplishment was just the church, reception venue and caterer. We have been doing our research for prospective suppliers specifically for our photographer and videographer and still to no avail, until yesterday! Yehey!

I knew I wanted Nice Print ever since I saw their work. The only problem was, the Superior package (the basic package) was over our budget. My hubby and I tried to look for other suppliers similar to their work with lesser rates but we failed. I reviewed the package and saw some inclusions I believe we can live without or avail later, like the prenuptial photo shoot (yes prenups are nice but I feel we got hand fulls of pictures as a couple that can do) and the 6x10 blow up photo in special frame etc. With that in mind I made some calls, Nice Print agreed we can remove few stuff from the package with some deductions from the original price. I was not completely Happy though, because I felt the deductions is so minimal. I talked to my sister (my MOH) about this. After hearing the drama I had, Carla told me she will call Nice Print and put he haggling skills to work. Few days after our conversation, I got a text from her telling me she got the Superior Package within the budget we set! I was so happy! She manage to get the package with all the freebies!!! Great isn't it?? Carla should really think of making this as her job (magaling mang-barat)! Vic was happy too, actually he wanted a prenuptial shoot pala! Hahahaha!

Yesterday we went to Nice Print and paid the reservations, we even got Rupert as part of the team! Yehey!

Nice Print Office.. Nice indeed

The moment we sat down one of the personnel handed
my MOH a free magazine! Why her not me???

Vic and I was enjoying the samples while Carla (I think)
is thinking of more ways to haggle!



We celebrated Carla's triumph  (and ours) at Max!

Note:

Don't be afraid to haggle, haggle, haggle and haggle some more! No harm in trying!
