designer

i really need to choose the designer for the entourage asap. but i am having a dilemma and still can't decide who it will be. i am not sure if i'm getting one for my wedding gown and another one for the entourage or just one designer for all. my coordinator did suggest that it would be better to pick only one so that the flow of the style of the dresses will somehow be harmonious with each other. but stubborn as i am, i can't let it rest with that. hahaha the glaring fact that time is running out doesn't even make me move an inch into making a final decision. (indecisive as ever!)

i need to think about stuff(i.e. budget, style, theme, list of entourage...) before deciding and at the same time telling myself that i should NOT be pressured. i tried hard to convince myself. ;) (no worries jon, i feel better now. i guess it did work a little and thank you.)

i did give myself a deadline before and should have decided last week. and now i am giving myself another deadline... deadliest deadline - i should decide by friday. no extensions. period.

caterer

we have finally decided on our caterer. yey! it has been a long 2 weeks for us. arguing, coordinating, researching, and then finally compromising. we were a little hesitant at first because we wanted to get one that is near our reception place. we heard a lot of horror stories wherein the caterer did not arrive on the wedding day or that the food was no longer in good condition. we wanted to make sure that we pick one that is reliable and of course one who cooks delicious food.

aside from the food we also checked out how they made the centerpieces, and flower arrangements. These will have a great impact since the place of our reception is very plain. i do want a lot of flowers and i even suggested to jon to buy them and do the arrangement myself. no, i'm not that artistic just obsessive. hahaha;)

next one that we need to decide on is the designer of the gowns. hope we decide on this before the end of the week so that my mom and sisters can have their measurements taken before they fly to their new home overseas.

3 Down, More To Go....

So far, so good. We've manage to book 2 of the 4 major suppliers we have to decide on for our wedding. Photographer and Videographer down, and currently in the middle of deciding who our caterers will be on our big day.

The list of things to do is still quite long with so few items having a check mark under the "done" column. I sure am glad we managed to find ourselves a good wedding planner.

A dear cousin just offered help two days ago. She's an architect and seems to like designing and events planning too. ^_^ Maybe I should let her be of help? Any ideas how? Bring her at the wedding site maybe to help with the decor conceptualization?

videographer

i am finding it hard to choose the right videographer for our wedding. thinking about the style of how i want our video should turn out and also of course our budget constraint. though i did find good videographers for reasonable prices, i just can't help thinking about the really good expensive ones that make me drool. i also hope we get them booked on time.

i want our wedding video to be simple and natural. i do not like artificial staged scenes. semi-staged scenes are ok, the ones that still look natural... i want to see the faces of the guests, i want to feel their emotions...

i am also planning on creating our pre-nup video that will be shown to our guests. i know it is painful to edit. but i really want to make one. i have always wanted to make one. i'm not that artistic but i do hope that it turns out good. ;)
