Getting Married, Wedding Preps

This topic has been long overdue since I got married last year of Nov2011 but because I got super tied up with work, business travel, wedding preparation and making our new abode a nice place to live in blogging has been the last thing on my mind then..

The wedding preparation was tough! I mean really tough but at the same time enjoyable, that is if you have enough money to spend cause you get to hire the wedding suppliers that you prefer. It's also a tag team project for me and bear. Since bear is always at work with no definite days off, meaning I had to adjust my our sched and appointments base on his availability.

It also proved my bears patience and dedication to me. (yey!)

We got married at Sanctuario De San Antonio. We chose this church as it has really beautiful altars.

After the church, we had to find the venue that is still available on our ceremony date. We researched several places, asked for so many quotations. Hotels, Garden Venues until 1esplanade crossed my mind. I asked bear if  we could check out the place, and as soon as we saw the venue, we instantly liked it! It was not a mushy place, we don't like an open air venue, and at the same time, it feels like you're in a hotel's function room but you're really not in a hotel. Just right for me and bear's personality.We booked the place as soon as we found out it was available.

We hired Hizon's Catering for the food and we had a good experience with them. all worth every penny we spent.

We hired Edward Teng to create my wedding gown, bear's tuxedo and mommies' gowns.

Max Tiu for our wedding host, oh by the way.. Max Tiu is well known in the chinese wedding industry. He's bilingual and knows how to handle audience and guest well. Our reception was not boring because of his unique games! I love Max Tiu :)

I got Gio Flores-Lazaro and his partner Gelanie for the HMUA. He's quite pricey but his work really amazing. He made us all beautiful on the wedding day itself.

Over all, I think we made a good choice on suppliers. Our wedding turned out to be simple and yet elegant which is what me and bear envisioned.
