One Busy Saturday

Yesterday (July 3, 2010) was a busy day indeed. Stan and I were scheduled to visit some of our suppliers.

1st stop - Emil Ocampo, Gown Designer

We arrived exactly 10am, just in time for our appointment. We immediately started discussing about my gown. He showed me some swatches, discuss the details of the gown and the flower girls. It took me a while to finalize the cloth to be used for my lovely girls' gown. We combined purple, pink and lavender swatches to come up which one will look best. For my gown, Emil suggested to use Mikado Silk. I then remembered all the raves on this cloth, and I agreed to use it for my gown. Final measurement will be on July 31.

2nd Stop - BA Studio, Photo and Video Coverage

We arrived past 11am. Rachelle greeted me, as well as Ms. Nelia. I was just there to clarify some package inclusions because my contract copy is fading already. We also watched some samples of On Site Videos. Though I heard so many negative feedbacks about them, so far dealing with them is such a breeze.

3rd Stop - Tabora St. Divisoria

We just checked where to buy feathers and some beads. I didn't bought anything though. Next trip probably.

4th Stop - Chinese Restaurant

I forgot the name, I have to ask Stan for it. Its the restaurant with 2 Black Pigs in the doorstep. And man, the pigs are alive. The owner believes that they (the pigs) bring them luck. The food were great - yang chow, siomai, fried chicken and beef broccoli.

5th Stop - Dangwa

Since we are cutting costs, we decided to visit Dangwa and canvass for flower prices. My niece-in-law (is there such a word?She's the wife of my nephew) will be the one to do the church arrangements. We will just buy the flowers ourselves.

6th Stop - Megamall

We passed by Carolinas. I saw a sample of Original Duchess Satin and fell in love with it. It was the perfect shade I am looking for. I informed Emil regarding this and he said we'll discuss it on the 31st. Whew. Then we passed by a boutique which made Stan really really happy. Will share about it soon.

We thank God for guiding us the whole day and for all the accomplishments made.
