Anne & Jim’s Suppliers Rating
July 9, 2005

Church: San Agustin Church, Intramuros
Rating: 9.5

Pros:
This is the Church of my dreams. An old historical church with long aisle and beautiful interiors. Staffs are easy to deal with and pleasant. They are clear with their rules and regulations.

Cons:
Quite pricey and you have to pay extra charge for the electricity, another for the balcony and another for the ruins, which we didn’t bother to avail except for the electricity fee =)

Flowers: Ka- Bloom
Rating: 10++

Pros:
I have nothing but good words for this supplier. They delivered the flowers on time and exceeded my expectation on all of the flowers especially with my bouquet. My cymbidium bouquet was very pretty and fresh. Simply love it.

Cons:
None

Reception: Villa Immaculada
Rating: 9.5

Pros:
The package we got was reasonable. The inclusions are not bad so we didn’t bother to alter. The arrangements and flowers were nice. Food according to many guest are delectable.

Cons:
Sound system is not that good. We had to re-take thrice for our duets song number because they were having difficulty removing the voice in multiplex.
Jim’s relatives thinks that they did not give all the left over foods.


Bride’s Gown: Merlene Marcelo
Rating: 10++

Pros:
I loved my designers work. At first I thought I thought I couldn’t afford her but when I visited her shop and laid my budget on her, she agreed to do it. I was expecting lesser bead works on my gown since my budget is low but when I saw it grabe ang bigat and dami pa din beads especially the back part of my gown. She gave me 2 assistants on the day of my wedding. The assistants waited patiently while I’m having my pictorials and helped me dress up. A lot of guest was telling me how nice my gown was.

Cons:
My designer has a lot of out of the country clients so there’s less personal face to face interaction between us..

Entourage gowns : Merlene Marcelo
Rating: 8

Pros:
All the entourage gowns turned out ok. They looked lovely during the wedding.

Cons:
It didn’t surprise me cguro kc it was my design and they just followed it. Di rin mukhang super happy mge entou ko with it pero they just carried it well. Nag design design lng kc ako..hehe. They have limited style to show and its in black and white parang pare pareho so I can’t really picture the beauty.

Grooms Barong: Merlene Marcelo
Rating: 10++

Pros:
After we went to get jim’s barong we went to a fastfood resto near my designers shop and one of the customer who looks like a politician/ businessman approached jim and asked where we had it made. In the church and reception dami din daw nag tatanong ky hubby kc unique and ganda nun inner shirt di na kylangan I tuck. Jim was very happy with it.

Cons:
None


PhotoVideo: John Aguas
Rating: 10++

Pros:
John Aguas is very reasonable and super adorable that’s why we got him. Made us feel comfortable during the prenups. He was at the hotel very early buti nlng nk ligo nko pero di pko nk robe nag start n sya and he stayed with us still shooting hangang sa hotel after the reception. His staffs are all mabait too especially the back up photographer. They all made me feel beautiful in every shot. They were always telling me how pretty I am and that my pics can pass the metro mags..charing! Nag enjoy din mga guest sa prenup slide nmin prepared by john.

Cons:
They were not able to take pictures of my groom because my hotel is in makati and his is at westin but that’s not their fault.

Bride’s Hotel Preps: Fraser Place
Rating: 10+++

Pros:
I love love love fraser place a lot. It has the cozy feeling that you’re just in your own house. The whole place is spacious. It has its own living room, kitchen with complete appliance, laundry rooms, dining, 1 master bedroom which has its own Jacuzzi, multi point shower large closets and a guest room. What made me choose this place is the ample space for everybody to move around (my family and all the suppliers).

Cons:
Quite Pricey. Price can be compared to the price of a suite room in a hotel the difference is the space.

Bride’s HMU : Jason Ramos
Rating: 10++

Pros:

Initially I got the Ross Regala for my HMU but I was not very comfortable with him during our THMU. Although, I think he’s good and a nice person. I like the way Jason does his make up very natural looking look. Parang nagiging flawless and artista coz he works with some GMA & ABS_CBN’s artist. What I like most about Jason is when he tells me my kamukha ako artista..hehe mahilig ako mag pabola eh.hehe. kidding aside it makes me feel good. It was a hard decision I made in choosing between Ross and Jason. I always confide with trina ni ken (co-w@wies ). She asked me to weigh the pros and cons and as I did bias nman ako coz I really like Jason kinakabahan lng ako with the hair coz when we had our hair trial I didn’t like it. Given this I still continued with Jason. Grabe naloka si jim sa arte ko sa hair and makeup. Hehe.

On the day of my wedding, maaga dumating si Jason. Cleared my face with Evian and started working. When I was still in my bath robe my hair was still down para maiba lng daw daw..then afterwards nun bihis na ko ng gown he pulled my hair up and sobrang bilis lng tapos na. Everybody was telling me how pretty I am during the wedding. Even Jim’s friend which I just met that day told jim how pretty his wife is..naks! Jason was with me in the car and stayed till reception to give me retouches. Even change the color of my lipstick during the reception. Super galing! Thanks to trina and Noreen who introduced me to Jason.
By the way Jason also did my pre nup MU.

Cons:
His assistant who did my mom and sisters HMU was terrible. My mom was very problematic on her looks. Na bad trip daw sya sa make up nya pati sis ko.

Invitations & souvenirs: Printed Matter
Rating: 10++

Pros:
Our guest finds our invites and souvenir very pretty, unique and coordinated. I learned printed matter thru W@W . Got my inspiration from Aggie’s =) Mabilis din gumawa ang printed matter. 1 week lng tapos na! Super dali din kausap ni phoebe and kerwin. Love my invites talaga.

Cons:
None

Shoes: Lila Almario
Rating: 10++

Pros:
I just bought my lila almario shoes on sale. I’m just after the height and the comfort and disregarded the design coz anyway merlene covered it with beads na terno sa gown ko. I wore a 3 inch heel and di namn masyado sumakit paa ko at di ako nasugatan. Di lng ako sanay sa heels kya mejo nangangawit lng ako.
Best buy shoes!

Cons:
None

Rings: Venice Jewelers
Rating: 10

Pros:

We just wanted a plain white gold ring so we just bought at the mall. We got them on sale also.

Cons:
None


Unity Coins: W@W
Rating: 10++

Pros:

Super unique coins. They are truly to be treasure and not just dumped in a box afterwards.

Cons:
None.

OTD: Impromptu Events
Ratings: 9

Pros:
These girls always do follow-ups on how my preps are doing and insist on having meetings. They got in d hotel early and checked all my stuffs. If somebody needs me they attend to it para di nko mag isip pa. Almost everything fell into place and according to schedule so di nman kme nag ka problem at di sila masyado pagod.

Cons:
Isa lng naiwan sakin sa hotel. It was late when we found out kylangan pala ng flowers and fruits for the offering. They should’ve been the one na bumili nlng instead of asking my aunt na nun pa nman..kawawa napagod talga tita ko..I felt na dpat sila nlng bumili somewhere at humingi nlng ng pera.

Jim and I had a very good time during our wedding. It may not be a grand one but for us it was simply perfect and beautiful. A lot of guest came to us after the reception and told us how great our wedding was. They loved every detail and I just feel so proud hearing all the good feedbacks. I really could have not done it without the help of friends and W@wies ofcourse.

To all the w@wies thank you so much for all the suggestions comments and ideas you shared with me especially to mrs. Schmucks, Dorothy, aggie, ivee ni rhein, grace, lea ni francis lahat ng nsa blog ko madami ako natutunan sa inyong lahat!na addict ako sa inyo…hehe. Goodluck to everyone. I’m pretty sure that all w@wie wedding are truly unique and beautiful.
