Yay. Finally, we now have a wedding date. :) My fiance and I are really excited about it. I know it will be wonderful. :) Hope we can stay within our budget though. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I actually made my wedding binder. I will take a photo of that and upload it next week. I am too lazy to get up and get it right now. So, we made a lot of progress last week. Here are some of the stuff we have accomplished!
1. Church: Shrine of St. Therese, Pasay City
We already made the 50% downpayment. The church is a bit pricier than the normal church. Manila Cathedral was only at 30,000. This one is more expensive by 10,000. But we thought it was such a beautiful church that we didn't mind the expense. Plus, they are pretty lenient with the rules like having flower girls and ring bearers below 5 years old and the throwing of flowers etc. :) Here are some pictures of our Church:
Isn't it pretty? :) Although it is quite a long walk for me but I think it will be fine. The Church fee comes with flowers from the in house florist which is Casa Fiore but we might not get their package because they are a tad bit too expensive and totally not worth it. 8,000 for purely aster for the aisle? no way. We might get them for our entourage bouquet since their prices for that is a bit more reasonable. I will talk this over with my dad first since he will give me good advice. :)
2. Reception Venue: Palacio de Maynila
Ever since my fiance proposed, I have always told him that I wanted Palacio de Maynila. It is spacious, fully draped and quite affordable. He was hesitant at first but when he saw the place, he immediately liked it. :) It's is going to be a beautiful wedding. We haven't paid the downpayment yet because fiance wants to wait for his parents to come home from Europe. :) But we are already reserved so everything is okay. Here are some photos of the place:
I know I might need to get a stylist to make everything look pretty. I have to look into our budget first. I am kinda nervous about it because It is sooo hard to plan when you don't know how everything would look like. Maybe I can just request for crystals hanging down and stuff. But I have to stay within our budget or else my fiance is going to kill me. :P
So there. That's we have so far. We have already pencil booked on a live band, as well as the lights and sounds. The rest, we will have to see. :)
