Bridal Fairs and Events Galore: February

Thanks to Philip Martin for this cute clipart

Hello again peeps. It's been a long time since I posted something like this, and as usual, this is really gonna be something quick. Just wanted to give you guys a rundown of events happening this love month. Now, I and the Other Guin may be done scouting for crew, since Cosa Nostra had been a success. But that doesn't mean we cannot attend fairs anymore, does it? Well, the Other Guin and I have thinking of including events into our operations (so if you need someone to check on your events, just call on the Wedding Mafia), so I guess we can still roam around fairs, right?

Bridal Fairs and Events Galore: November

One more month to go before the Guins' greatest heist. I think we have all the operations covered, except for those that needs to be done at home. Well, according to the Male Guin, we are still on track with our DIYs, so I guess we can still say that we're pretty much covered.

There are just soo many things happening this month, with the holiday season coming, and Cosa Nostra. One thing I am really excited about November... if we're gonna get that cake from BIDO... 8->

Now, on with our show:

Bridal Fairs and Events: October

The Female Guin is taking this opportunity to update you with events coming our way this month. I'm so sorry I had already missed a week this month. Aside from the two events I missed last week, we still have two fairs, a handful food tasting events and a wedding photography seminar coming up. So, for those who are still out in looking for their suppliers, or want to enjoy covering a wedding, or simply get ideas for your events, check these events out. 

Bridal Fair and Events Galore: September

napped from WeddingBee

Our counter says we had already touched down with the 2-digit countdown to Cosa Nostra -- and yes, I dont feel the pressure, and yes, I am not [yet] stressed with the preps. In fact, I'm beginning to enjoy it as it sinks in that we only roughly three months to prep. Up until now, we still haven't booked the artist to make the Female Guin and the rest of the entourage look gorgeous and fab for the clan to admire (char!). Still a lot of details to go buy, but have accomplished quite a few in the past month. 

I'm sorry for posting late this month; the Guins and the some of the crew where pretty occupied with some scheduled and unexpected missions in and out the industry. It's better late than never though (too bad wasn't  able to register in this week's fair, darn it!)...

Bridal Fairs and Events Galore: August

August is just around the corner, and so are fairs. There are a couple fairs in my list month and perhaps, will get invites from caterers holding their food tasting events. Better get those rain boots, sandals or whatever rainy footwear you love, and umbrellas, because we're gonna be out on the weekends - 4 months to go people!

Bridal Fairs and Events Galore: June

Here comes the wedding month of June.  For some couples, June is one of the months of the year to get married, and for some, June marks the start of prep period for December operations. Six months before the Cosa Nostra, and we still have the two crew slots vacant. Well, I must admit, May has been an awf'ly busy month for the Guins. Hopefully, we get those slots filled this month. For this month, I'm adding some out of town events, for OOT GT Belles (thanks sis patchi2012 for the request).

Bridal Fair and Events Galore: May

It's now the "marry" month of May: summer-spring, flowers, fiesta, and of course, a lot of weddings and fairs to go to. Our ticker tells us that we have 7 months to go 'til Cosa Nostra, and until now, we still have two crew slots vacant. I am sooo crossing my fingers that we get these slots filled, so we can go on with planning Cosa Nostra.

We're now half-way through the year, and there are a lot of events coming up this month. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, and have those calendars (and cash, checkbooks, and your walking shoes too!) ready, for this month's rundown of fairs and events.

Bridal Fair and Events Galore: April

Here we go again with our run down of events... This is becoming like a habit for me every month. And now that I learned that I can actually update the date when posts are published, posts for events and fairs will be brought up everytime I update them (kewl, isn't it... sorry, not much of blog geek, but i dont blame if I become one. This could be addicting (0_o) )

Summer has officially begun, and with this, we have Summer sale schedules, GFTs, and of course, bridal fairs. So get that workout for the big by going to these events.

Bridal Fair and other Events Galore: March

Here we go again... March has a lot of events lined-up, so better keep that calendar updated, because our weekends may not be as free as we thought it would be. I thought of including other events which we may find useful, and slightly related to Cosa Nostra.

Last night, I posted our EB with GT girls. As you all know, I have been quite active in the group for a while now, which I am really enjoying. Just wanted to share this with the rest of the world, as I find this very informative. I got this from a reply from one of our sisses (thanks sis mystiqshannen for sharing this to the group), when everyone else was looking for a venue. I just made a few edits for the benefit of our friends outside the Philippines.

Bridal Fair Chronicles: Hizon's GFT at Pergola plus P/V booked!

30 January 2011

While waiting for anyone to become available

The last week of January has been very busy, not to mention, very stressful. I guess this is just the first of many for the next 11 months. It's been almost a month now since we started the preps, and so far we only have three suppliers ticked off our list. I know we still have a long way to go, and time is running out. Just like how the Other Guin would say it, "Parang Amazing Race..."

6 Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Date

I, personally, am in a dilemma, whether to change the date, or keep looking for venue fee on our original date. I have been frustrated since I learned two weeks ago the venue we were looking at has already been booked. Darn it. We were eyeing on Pergola, but we knew that they are no longer available on our date as early as last year. But FHL... why have you turned me down?

Oh well, I dunno. Maybe FHL wasn't really for us. Or the date is not for us? I then remembered this article I stumbled upon in FemaleNetwork and BridalBook.ph, which I think is useful, especially those who are still trying to make up their mind.

Bridal Fair and other Events Galore: February

It's February now... Time flies so fast. And until now, we are still looking for our reception venue. =( Oh well, I guess, we just need to work harder. I'm still crossing my fingers that FHL will be available, or Pergola.

Anyway, I am always on the look out for upcoming bridal fairs and events. Here's what's coming up this month:

This is really is it!

This is really is it... The date has been blocked.

We just made our reservations for the church ceremony at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Makati yesterday. Now, let me just clarify: this is not the famous and historical Nuestra Señora de Gracia in Makai ruins. This is Our Lady's Minor Basilica on the peak of Guadalupe plateau, Orense St, near the MMDA office.

Bridal Fair Galore | January

With the reservation schedule fast approaching, we thought we should also start hunting for suppliers now. Once we get the date nailed, that's it... everything should follow. Since that's the case, I'm now keeping track of bridal fairs and events where we can find resources, get discounts and lots of freebies. I wouldn't mind winning in raffles too; who knows, we might just get something really, really nice. *wink wink*

This month, according to my best friend Google, and to my inbox, here are what's happening in Megatrade, SMX and other venues for couples-to-be:

Checklist for Your Maid of Honor

I just want to share this with you, which I really find informative. Most people, both entourage and the bride, don't really know what their roles are in the celebration. There's more to being a bride's maid, or in this case, a Maid of Honor, than just walking down the aisle with your escort.
