Wedding Expo sharing

Last Saturday, I went with my sister, who also happens to be (one of) my maid(s) of honor to the Wedding Expo in PICC. Grabe, it was good that we drove our cousin(one of my bridesmaids) to the airport early morning, and arrived at the expo a little before twelve o'clock. There weren't as many people when we got there, pero one our way out, around 3:30, super daming tao! Kaya for the next bridal fairs, I made a mental note to really go early.

Admittedly, I was a little sad when I saw couples holding hands as they walked through the booths. I missed my Babe... its one of those times when I really wished he wasn't working abroad. But then, he was here with me naman in moments that really mattered (like last Christmas, and when someone really close to my family died) and as promised, he called me up when I was already at the expo to ask how I'm doing and if i'm enjoying the hunt so far. Its a big deal for me since there's four hours time difference, and he could have been still asleep at that time. And its okay na rin since he abhors shopping and going to one shop (or booth) over and over. It would have caused a fight... or not. Anyway, I'm glad rin naman that it was my darling sis who accompanied me to the expo. She's my best girl and the best person to come with me with things like that because we have the same taste and enjoy the same things.

We had fun naman, she got a trial makeup from... oh no I forgot the name. Basta the name of the one who did her makeup was Junie. He's really good. He does makeup for tv celebrities. My sister was so impressed with her makeup, that she wanted to hire him for my wedding and get a different makeup artist from mine! Eh that's so not possible, since the makeup artist I'm getting is a relative, and parang tradition na that he does the hair and makeup of bride and mother and sister of every wedding in our family. He also did the hair and makeup of me and my sister on our proms and debuts. He's really good naman and of course he charges us super minimum lang. So yun, haha. Anyway, my sister's pestering me to get Junie even for the pre-nup lang, and she vows to get Junie in any occasion that she can! Not bad at all... hahaha!

So, aside from Kaye's fondness for Junie and her beautiful makeup, another accomplishment is having booked Angel of Hearts, for flowers for the church and my entourage. I personally met Lawrence, the owner of Angel of Hearts and made chika about the weddings of my aunts who got him as supplier. After which, I showed him the photos I got from the net of how I want the church and the flowers to look like, as in I loaded my usb pa in his computer ha! He was really easy to talk to, he gave me a really good rate with lots of freebies because suki na nga talaga ang family ko. Afterwards, I booked him for my wedding na :) there are some changes with my requirements, but I'll look for him na lang in Dangwa :)

We sampled (and went back several times for) Joy San Gabriel's cakes. It was delish! Originally I didn't want to spend so much on the cake, but upon tasting her creations, I suddenly have to think twice. Hmmm... its really mouthwatering that I have to stop blogging about it coz I'm starting to crave. Ok... now, stop.

I almost booked with Nice Print, kaya lang I had to think twice kasi I need to consult Babe first on how much he's willing to spend for these aspects. Although I'm pretty much convinced na rin that they're the best for us eh. I wanted to meet Meanne of Sensitivity Lights and Sounds personally, but she was busy talking to a client eh I was kinda exhausted na rin walking around the venue.

Anyway, it was a tiring but fulfilling day :) I'm looking forward to going to more bridal fairs in tne coming months. Hopefully, Babe can join me in one of these trips. Sana may bridal fair sa December... that's a breathe of fresh air from all the Christmas bazaars around the metro :)


More preps coming along! Umaandar na talaga toh!
