Our requirements for the invitations are simple: there must be no patterns, no caricatures and no intricate background. It should match our vision of a solemn, clean and elegant wedding.

Our Wedding Bands
For our wedding bands, we want something like Tiffany & Co.'s classic knife-edge wedding bands: It was kinda difficult to find a nice knife-edge wedding bands locally because the style is not that "popular' here. We tried looking at Goldenhills and My Diamonds but they don't have it. During the bridal fair at Megamall in July last year, we came across two shops ... READ MORE
Escort Card Ideas
In two weeks' time, I plan to start on our escort cards.Escort cards are a must for me as I want our seat plan to be followed as much as possible.

Wedding Nice to Have’s
I have my own list of nice-to-have's for our wedding. But these are not the expensive things you can imagine (like a Bellaroca Honeymoon, a popular P/V supplier, Tiffany wedding rings, etc.).

Trying Out Chicboy along Jupiter Street
My brother has been prodding us to try Chicboy with branches at Jupiter Street and in front of Makati City Hall (if you're from Makati).
