Our Misalette...

It was almost midnight when I finished printing 11 misalettes, 31 pages each, plus a personalized cover specially designed by my good college buddy, Erra Sanjorjo-Gomez who also happens to be a graphic artist and a former W@Wie herself.

I had no idea how to print the invites until  my good friend Wilsie (my w&w sis who also shares the wedding date, sent me this article on how to make bookfold documents. It was such a big help.


Anyhow, here are the sample covers of my misalette. I chose and printed two designs as I can't decice which of them is better. A huge thanks to my friend Erra for these beautiful fairytale desiged misalette covers.

Wine Cards and More...

Finally, we are finished with the misalettes and cake & wine cards. Super big thanks to my good friend Erra Sanjorjo - Gomez  for helping me with the beautiful lay-outs.

They look so pretty, perfectly fitting for our theme. The colors are just lovely, and the designs are simply elegant.

the wine cards...

I will be sending the cards to our cake maker via LBC. It really pays off to have super talented girls for friends.



Thanks again Eya..

DIYing the Wine Bags

For our principal sponsors, we decided to get each of them a special red wine along with the box of goodies that we got from Marks & Spencer.

After the wines were delivered to us, I started DIYing the purple wine bags which I personally purchased in Divisoria. I wanted to put some personal touch to the bag so I busted my brains thinking what else I could do to beautify them. I got some craft-items like ribbons, beads and flowers of different colors. Since I am clueless in making pretty bows, I gave up on the idea and thought of some other ways to utilize the satin ribbons.

Thank god I finished all today... Hence my final  product.

Sealing the Invitations...

I felt so touched by Leih's gesture this afternoon. At first, I thought bridal preparations were solely done by the bride since we women are the more "meticulous" ones.

This afternoon, Leih helped me finish our final guest list and the invitations. It had been pretty tough choosing who to invite on your wedding day, considering Leih and I have a lot of friends and family. But we managed anyway.


It was fun sealing the invitations with the use of a candle wax and sealer. Leih bought the sealer in Vegas before coming home. We took turns in burning the sealing wax on the envelopes. We actually enjoyed this activity especially when we would get perfect round seals. It felt like no work at all.

Don't they just look so elegant?

Our Kissing Note-Cards

I'll say, we're pretty much ready with almost everything about the wedding, save for a few minor details. I've already completed my DIY crafts which I painstakingly did one by one, all by myself. The most tedious of all was the candle holders and kissing bells. Again, since not everyone is aware of what a kissing bell is, we decided  to put small notecards on our bells to let the guests know that they're supposed to ring it if they wish for the couple to kiss.

Honestly,  I think kissing bells are ingeniuos. Not only does it add flare to the table, but it also saves you from the hassle of breaking any glass. (nyahaha) It has been customary for guests to clink on their forks on the wine glasses to ask the newlyweds to kiss. Now, you'll have your own bells to ring,
Super thanks to my W@W sister Carmela Harder who designed our beautiful kissing notecards, table numbers & name cards. Now, let's hope  nobody clinks on their forks against the wine glasses. We'll see how effective these cards will be..

Save-The Date & Number Cards

From the start, I've already resolved the idea that we won't probably be having a "Save-The-Date Card" since I have no idea how to make on in Photoshop. But thanks to my W@Wie god-sent sister Mela (Carmela Harder), we are finally printing our very own tomorrow!!!

Yes, I am proud to present Mela's very own design of our "Save-The-Date Card".. Just like our table numbers and name cards which she made herself, all three were inspired by our fairytale theme and color.

The table numbers and name cards have already been printed two days ago at PhotoLine. I may have to drop by there again tomorrow. (^_^)

Thanks again Mela for all these... 

Mock-Up With CenterTable..

Today had been a very tiring yet productive day for Leih and me...Despite having only 3 hours of sleep, Leih managed to drive us off to Merville, Paranaque to meet Jenny of CenterTable Catering  for our mock-up schedule. We arrived just in time after getting caught up in heavy traffic.

our beautiful set up (with our candle holders)

Fairly enough, the long drive was worth it. We were overwhelmed with the table arrangements they showed us. I instantly fell in love with the purple see-thru ribbons tied on the tiffany chairs. The over-all design we wanted was met, complete with votive candles and candelabras. I brought with us my DIY- candle holders and place cards to see how well it would blen in with the rest of the design. My heart welled up with pride as Jenny complemented my labor of love. She found my candle holders & kissing bells very uniquely cute..


I am posting some pictures of the mock up. It may be not as beautiful as it looked up close, but it was indeed a job certainly well-done. Good work, Center Table!

the satisfied couple...

Next stop, off we go to fetch our entourage's gowns at Edward Teng's shop... One task finally done. Yay!!!
