Janet Castro

Janet Castro is the first couturier I inquired with regarding my bridal gown.   I made the rounds with other wedding gown suppliers and I decided to get her.   Janet is a breath of fresh air, she's so cheerful that she kinda give me this calmness everytime I visit her.   I also appreciate her inputs regarding the gown of my choice.   A lot of my friends liked my gown too.

Janet actually made me a gown with "two looks", unfortunately I left the belt  at the Hotel.

Just a reminder, fit your gown at least a week before the big day.   I think I had my last fitting two weeks before our wedding and I lost a bit of weight.   The tube gown was kinda loose, had to pull it up several times.

Vienna Cakes

Jose and I decided to have mini fondant cakes instead of the traditional cake for our wedding.   We wanted a cake that could also serve as a souvenir for the guests.  

We booked Vienna cakes at the SMX Bridal Fair last March 2009.   The sample cakes tasted good.   We also got 10 free mini fondant cakes for booking on the spot in that bridal fair =)

  

  

  

  

  

  

We had 5 designs and 3 flavors for the fondant cakes.  If my memory serves me right, we had carrot, banana and mocha flavor.   These cute cakes also came with a free box =)

Details - 12.30.09

December 30, 2009 was a mix of various emotions, it was an experience beyond words.   Or maybe,  I'm still in the process of putting it into words. =)

Hitched =)

Below are pictures I managed to tag and grab from our friends' facebook accounts. =)   We're still waiting for our official photos from Extreme Details Photography, who I have to commend for doing a great job together with our other suppliers.   I feel so blessed that all our suppliers delivered more than we're expecting during our wedding.   Luv them!   I promise to write about our suppliers in the days to come.
