Food Tasting at Ma Del's Cuisine

Ma Del's is very popular in w@w and GT forums. According to the feed backs, Their styling and setup was beautiful and elegant and the food was great. Yes! We booked our caterer last year and met Ms. Anj last September 2013 for a meeting and on Dec 30, 2013, we had our first food tasting at their place in Pasig. I'm satisfied with their menus and will be having our next FT by July and final detailing of the ceremony and reception styling/setup.

For our first FT, These are the menu:  Fetuccini Italiana, Chicken Flambe, Korean Pork, Chopseuy,
Fish Fillet with Tartar Sauce(i love the sauce), Chopseuy with quail eggs, pumpkin soup, cream of asparagus, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, Chicken Empanaditas, Buko Pandal Jello

Verdict: Everything in the plate is good! I like their Fetuccini Italiana and Chicken Flambe more,  For the soup, I like the pumpkin and for the dessert, Buko Pandan Jello. So i put them on my draft menu list.

I'm looking forward for our next FT so we can finalize the menu.

Here are some of the photos, Sorry i forgot to take photo of buko pandan jello!

The Make-up Artist: Toni Aviles

Finding your right MUA (make up artist) on your wedding day is another big task. Bride's look on her very special day is important because the make up will stay like forever through photographs and videos. You don't want to look godzilla in front of your guests and on your wedding album and video right?

I booked Toni Aviles as my  fairygod mother on our big day! Haha! Why Toni? I like the make up style, very natural, I love the over all look of the brides as i browse her portfolio online. Toni can really turn her beautiful bride into more more more beautiful bride! (x10 hehe). Apart from her God-given talent, Toni  is very bubbly, approachable and funny. For sure you will feel comfortable and the make up session will never be boring :)  

I already met Toni before. We had our "photoshoot" session with some of my friends (Myra, me, badjo). She did my make up then. We did also a shoot before, I am the hobbyist photographer and she's the MUA, with some of my photographer friends and met her also when I shoot at a wedding gig with my photographer friend (Myra Ho) and soon i will meet her again...my MUA! hehe :)

You may check Toni's FB page and website for portfolio and more details :)

365 days to go before the big day!

48th today. Soon, on our 60th we will fly to the next level, in front of our Lord.

We can't wait to say... forever.

Wedding Photographer: Bliss and Berries

There are lots of great wedding photographer that you can get nowadays. In choosing the right wedding photographer / videographer, It is important that you like them and consider how much money you are willing to spend then you can search according to your budget range. Always remember that these photos and videos are the special memories that will be left after the wedding, After 10 years or more you can look back with those picturesque.

I will share with you our photographer and videographer!- Bliss and Berries. I like the output of their photos it looks vintage with a bit of HDR effect, the colors are not too bright, not too much contrast and the saturation is not too strong. I super like the post process that's why i asked and convinced h2b to get them and He booked them na. :)

They will also do our 20-30 minutes wedding video highlights and 3-5 minutes SDE! Yehey I'm excited for that! Bliss and Berries is also a sister company of BlacktieProject- Another great Wedding P&V in the industry. Btw, we didn't get their prenup (pre wedding shoot) services because we have a separate photographer for that.

Top Picks: Vera Wang Wedding Gowns

As of now I still don't know where to buy or who will do my wedding dress. Since I'm currently base in Singapore, I'm planning to get my gown here because it's hassle free for me and more cheaper i think. Anyway, I'm browsing Vera Wang website earlier and I super love their designs! Classy and elegant but of course expensive! So i maybe i can choose VW only as a "peg" hehe :)

Here are my top 3 picks from their Fall 2013 collection:

Top 1

I want this design, my height is  5 flat and I'm petite. I think this kind of gown suites me.

Top 2

I like the skirt

Top 3
