Oh We're so Vain!

It's barely two months before our wedding and barely a week before our pre-nuptial photo shoot. We decided to have some pampering and vanity preps to make ourselves look good in front of the camera. 

Had a foot spa with algae wrap and had our nails done at Nailaholics, Mall of Asia branch.

And we visited again the salon in their Megamall Branch to have my legs waxed and groom-to-be availed of the Long Beach Full Body Massage while waiting for me. And this process really hurt big time!

And here's the threading part..

A week after, my sister cum Maid-of-Honor and I, visited Victor Ortega Salon in Gen. Kalentong, Mandaluyong to have our hair rebonded and treated. 

It was a long four-hours of waiting, starvation and a little headache. But it's worth all the wait! Thanks for my sister for the complimentary hair makeover as an advanced birthday gift :-)

Then we had a day off at Let's Face It Megamall A to have our nails done and facial for the first time.

I starved from all the vanity fair we had..

The Hands-on Bride- Quarter 3

It's just barely 6 months left before the big day! And we still have a few errands to accomplish before finally settling everything and leaving the rest to our most trusted suppliers.

6 months before

1. Paid the 75% cost of our wedding bands and confirmed the final design of the rings for initial fitting. The balance will be paid upon delivery of the final wedding bands.

  We dropped by Bonifacio Global City to have a few unwinding moments...all these wedding preparations are getting a little bit stressful at times.

 And we did get a lot more stressful while waiting for our long craved brother's burger because of the massive line of burger lovers fussing over the 50% off burger of BB! All for the love of food!

5 months before

1. The bride's first fitting of her bridal gown and the measurement of the lady entourage.

And we deposited about 30% cash for the entourage dresses..
