the oomph factor

Finally, I got to meet Veluz last night. And I must say, she impressed me! Veluz got the skills! She was able to translate my uber complex requirements into a realistic design. When I say complex, I really mean it. She wouldn't be uttering "Challenge ito!" a few times if otherwise hehe.
I know the BIG day is still months away but I just couldn't contain the excitement I have right now. I promised myself not to show the design to anyone except to my Maid Of Honor who accompanied me to Veluz. But guess what, just this morning, I showed the sketch to my mom. I even gave my sister full details thru YM. hihihi! Oh well, I just hope I don't get to show it to Manu. I still want to see that mesmerizing look in his face when I walk down that aisle this December.:)

dream team


That's right, we have our dream team for our BIG day. Unfortunately, they're not complete yet. As everyone knows, I and Manu are quite choosy in picking our suppliers and this might take some time before we complete our roster of supplier for the BIG day. Anyway, without any further ado, here it is.

Church: The Transfiguration Chapel


This is the first supplier we booked right after we got engaged. We both like the facade of this chapel and the solemnity it brings to a wedding. Manu and I want an intimate wedding so this chapel perfectly fits our requirement.






Reception: Splendido Taal Golf and Country

It was my bestfriend who actually introduced us to this place. And at that very instant, Manu fell in love with Splendido. We went back the following week to reserve the place. During that time, none of our friends have actually tried their food. (We forgot to consider that when we paid the downpayment hahaha.) Lucky us, the food is great! We will even have them create our 5-layered cake for our wedding day. :)





Photographer: Mimi and Karl

Both Mimi and Karl are equally talented. They are very good in taking candid shots. They do well with natural lighting and use minimal post processing. Mimi has the eye for detail, one major reason why I really want them to cover our big day.





Videographer: Threelogy

Just by watching their works, you can tell that these three guys got the skills. Glad they were still free when we contacted them last year.


That's all for now. Hopefully, the next time we post here, there will be new members of our dream team. I will just cross my fingers till then hehe.
