Manila City, Philippines, July 25, 2011. - For women who love to shop, choosing items for their bridal registry is like a dream come true. It’s just like shopping but without paying a single peso for any of your choices. Sometimes though, you can’t help but pick those high value items that you and your significant other would love to have in your new home. So you just add them to your wedding gift list and hope against hope that a very generous guest decides to buy it as your wedding gift.

Gift Haven Registry is an online wedding gift registry site that revolutionizes the bridal registry experience by including great features that will benefit their registered couples.

One of the features that is unique to Gift Haven Registry is their “Break the Price” Functionality. This functionality allows the couple to break the price of a high value item into several units in order to make it more affordable for their guests to purchase the item as their wedding gift. This is applicable to items that are worth Php5,000 and up. You can choose to break the price into any number of units from 5, 10, 20, or even 60 units, which is the maximum.

Part of being so O.C, I made an excel file with all the list of suppliers and estimated amount. We were shocked when we saw the estimated budget, but both of us are positive about the plan, hoping it will end up as good as planned and expected.

We want to celebrate our matrimonial day in our hometown (Quezon), but since we can’t compromise the solemnity of our wedding we both decided to have our wedding at around 4pm in the afternoon.

I already sent inquiries about hair and make-up artist and bridal-car-for-rent, it’s too early to make inquiries but we are both excited and we can’t help it.

I was reading a forum post when I accidentally saw a wedding page link. I was curios and I found out that there is a site that meant for wedding. You can sign up and create your wedding page. You can also put details about your wedding, entourage, photos, wedding suppliers and the like.

Your wedding website is a great place also to put details about your wedding registry, the list of gifts you want to receive. It is advisable because it’s really awkward to put it in your wedding invitation.

Wedding Registry Tips

As soon as you get engaged try to talk about what you want to receive in your wedding day. Know what your needs are in your new life. Timing is the key secret. They said that it is important to register 3 to 2 months ahead before the wedding day. It helps you both to list and narrow down your preferred gifts.

Know thyself, it’s better to include things that you both really want even though it’s not the traditional wedding gifts, for instance you both love sports, add sport gadgets on your list. Don’t let traditional wedding practices dictates you.

It’s best if you both make time to register on your wedding registry. Together you can chat what is really essential. But before choosing where to register you have to consider different wedding registries, find out what kinds of perks you might get.

The last thing you have to think is how to convey the message to your guests that you have list of gifts in a wedding registry. We all know that it’s awkward to indicate it on your wedding invitation, word of mouth will do. The other best thing to do is to put it on your wedding website.

Wedding Registry really helps a lot of couples.

Bouquet Preservation by Freeze Drying

2008-08-28T05:47:00.000-07:00

Preserving memories is not as hard as what you think and it is not impossible.

Your wedding bouquet is one of the most precious memories from your wedding day. Bouquet cost about thousand pesos that good for one day. Does it make sense if you preserve your wedding bouquet?

Nowadays preserving bouquet is done by Freeze Drying. Freeze drying is a method by which water is removed from the flower as water vapor. The process is known as “sublimation”. Freeze drying cannot guarantee a lifetime preservation, it can only promise to last for so many years as long as you put in safe place, away from sunlight, rain and moist.

Freeze drying process is typically 2 to 3 weeks.

Wedding day is the most important day for lover, they expect their wedding day perfect and memorable. They want every small detail fine and perfect from wedding dresses, choices of foods, flower selections, give away, wedding invitations, wedding videographer and other.

Maid of Honor or shall I say it's Made of Honor?

2008-08-16T06:38:00.000-07:00

It’s pretty obvious that I’m an avid fan of chick flicks, I recently watched Made of Honor staring Patrick Dempsey (Tom) as the maid of honor (A guy, maid of honor?). Well the story is all about a guy who is so in love with an engaged woman tries to win her over after she asks him to be her maid of honor. Michelle Monaghan played the role of Hannah, she’s engaged to a Scottish duke.

By the way what is the main role of maid of honor?

Matron of Honor has the most important roles in making sure the bride's and groom's wedding is a success.

Maid of Honor helps bride-to-be to choose perfect location for the wedding. Her presence is absolutely needed in the preparation of a Bridal Shower, she’s may be helpful in making decisions in picking up decorations, designs and other bits and pieces of the wedding. She is the best company of the bride to register her wedding gifts.

On the wedding day, Maid of Honor should check every details and glitches. She must assist the bride in getting into her dress and makeup. She’ll be the one to witness the signing of the marriage license.

27 Dresses

2008-08-16T04:35:00.000-07:00

One of the most essential wedding bits and pieces is the wedding gown. I’m fascinated in thematic wedding gowns, so creative. It happen once in a lifetime (unless you’ll be marry two or more), why not make your wedding a perfect day and unforgettable.

I watched 27 dresses starring Katherine Heigl as Jane. The story is about a lady who’s always a bridesmaid, never a bride. She's been a bridesmaid 27 times and plans friends' weddings. She’s secretly in love with her boss but unfortunately her young self-centered sister caught her boss attention. While trying to be the best maid of honor she met a cynical writer who eventually captured her heart.

On her wedding day all 27 dresses she collected from 27 different weddings worn by her 27 lovely bridesmaids.
