Big thanks to Ms. Sheh for patiently accommodating our fickle minds when we were choosing the design for our wedding bands. Marry Me Jewelry gave us a favorable 30% discount (since we booked it at the Wedding Fair) with a complimentary vintage wooden case and arrhaes.

I've been eyeing WINK since the first wedding fair we attended. Undecided at first met until we end up booking them at the Themes and Motifs Fair. Their invites are just so simple, adorable and affordable. We got a fair 20% discount and free envelope sealers. Total cost of our 80pcs invitations is P3,950.
Super big hugs to Ms. Cindy..very patient ang invite coordinator namin na ito na despite naexhaust namin ang 5 revisions and 2 mock-ups because we can't make up our minds on our invite layout but she's still on her full patience and kindness to accommodate our requests..thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts!

When I met Ms. Ven of Zentaochi (who was surprisingly so young, jolly and accommodating), I never had second thoughts of booking her for my bridal gown and entourage apparel. She gave me a fair price of P10,000 for a decent vintage bridal gown and affordable rates for my ladies entourage (starting from P1,500 to P1,800) which I personally chose for our vintage wedding. Groom's 5-piece ensemble costs only P8,500.
Thrice din siguro ako nagpabago bago ng pegs ng gowns ko at mga pegs ng entourage dresses but Ms. Ven is simply the best na mag accommodate ng pabago bago kong isip:-) Thank you so much you made our wedding day extra special for all the pretty dresses you made!
