Since our monthsary on the 3rd fell on a weekday, we went out for a date last Saturday to catch up.It was a blessing to send us to this place as SM City Pampanga had a Bridal Expo where a lot of suppliers participated and exhibited a wide range of supplies for weddings. I think I already mentioned somewhere in my blog here that I'm engaged and currently looking for different ideas and suggestions for our big day.

We toured around the exhibit area and found a lot of interesting offers and discounts. Sad to say, we weren't able to book ourselves with any of the suppliers since it was a bit of a rush. However, we had now a lot of flyers and cards in hand and Jaycee and I will talk it out on which supplier we'll have for our wedding day. I actually want a nice yet a simple wedding. I want it to be very intimate!
Here are some of the photos I grabbed at the event.
All the design and setup above were really exhilarating and absolutely fab! There were also wedding dresses exhibited and everything looks so beautiful.
There were also some suppliers who give free makeup during the event but since we're just dropping by the area very quick that day, I wasn't able to grab the free makeup pass. Even Jaycee was encouraging me to try it. Sayang!
Overall, it was a nice event for engaged couples to attend these kind of bridal fairs. You'll get discounts and you can also check which supplier you like best and who you think can pull of the task as how you like it. Weddings may mean splurging for the best on your D-day but that doesn't mean you can't stick with your budget. We found a lot of affordable option in this fair. I hope we can still grab more discounts or even free sponsors in the next few months. (CALLING ALL NINONG AND NINANGS AND BLOG SPONSORS!!! Hahaha)
Would you mind sharing me some tips on how affordable your wedding went? We'll tie the knot around December and any tips will be really appreciated.
Xoxo ♥ ♥ ♥
Why not try some DIY projects for your wedding, that'll definitely lower the cost and add a more charm and a personalized touch to your big day. By the way, did you see Honey Glaze Cakes in the Bridal Expo? They make seriously delicious cakes, but can work around the client's budget without sacrificing on flavor and design. Had my mom's cake made there but they focus more on weddings so you should check them out. :)
ReplyDeleteThere were no cakes available for tasting. What DIY can you suggest for the wedding? Giveaway stuff? I was thinking if the photobooth can count as the giveaway already.
Deletewell, its good to have this kind of fair for bride-to-be's... As what they said, today DIYs are on trend :p
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'm actually thinking what DIY stuff I can do to lessen the expenses.
DeleteDIY the invitations, souvenirs and table centerpieces. Ask for help of your relatives and friends if they can host or just attend to your guests during your wedding. Also be wary of cheap services, check if they have good feedbacks too.
ReplyDeleteYep. I have those already plus I also have friends who'll sing for us. Just thinking of more ways on how to save. :)
DeleteA friend of my did visit a similar Bridal expo event and they did save on renting a reception to their wedding. For couples out there who are planning their wedding, visiting such event is recommended.
ReplyDeleteTrue! I'm actually planning of visiting Manila events even if they far so I can have more ideas for the event.
Deletelovely exhibit, a friend of mine who is into wedding events must have seen this :)

DeleteLooking at your photos got my heart excited for you! :) I'm wondering who would take photos of us if both of us walking down the aisle?! ahhaha... Good luck on gathering wedding ideas! :)
ReplyDeleteI am also thinking who I can get as our photographer in the event. I guess, I will sneak my camera phone inside the bouquet then. :)
Deletelucky you, now you have an idea of about ur big day, congratz!
