Let me share with you some pictures from Liam's 1st birthday celebration last Saturday. I made sure to capture the details of his party so we could have something to look back to when we plan his next big birthday (when he turns 7). Our celebrant has plentiful of guests (250 pax) so finding a venue that would fit this number of people and tots was the biggest challenge ... READ MORE
Supplier’s Review: Love in Bloom
3 months have already passed since AJ and I said "I do" and I'm still not done with my supplier reviews hehe. Well, I am actually saving the best for last. If you've been following my blog, you'd know that we got Love in Bloom as our florist.

Supplier’s Review: Hizon’s Catering
Among all our suppliers, Hizon's Catering is probably the one which gave me all the emotions I would feel as a bride: excitement, jitters, stress, relief and happiness!

Our Church: St. John Bosco Parish
My younger brother got married at St. John Bosco Parish in Makati City last April 2009. His was a solemn wedding and the church was really nice so I told AJ that I want us to get married in that church too. And oh, I just can't forget their altar: it was structurally impressive and really lights me up. Fast forward to 2010, the first wedding detail we booked was the ... READ MORE
Supplier’s Review: Hotel Celeste
Booking Hotel Celeste was one of the happy decisions we made during our wedding. The booking process itself was stress-free (thanks to Ms. Macky, our reservations officer) and it was done online. We got really good price with direct booking (it's much cheaper than booking through Agoda or any other online ticketing agency) and I got my dream room to boot!Look ... READ MORE
Supplier’s Review: Top Cakes (c/o Hizon’s)
We've always wanted a chocolate-colored cake for our wedding. And since our wedding cake is packaged with Hizon's, I chose a design that is easy to replicate to make sure that it will come out nicely.Here's our inspiration for the cake:Instead of butterflies, we asked Hizon's to inform Top Cakes, their wedding cake supplier, to put in white flowers.We ...
