Just Can't Get Enough

Today, I came across a blogspot page and happened to like his site. I then, searched for the creator of the skin and checked on other themes he has and look at this new piece...it's sooo charming. Guess, I won't stop searching for templates until I find the one I really like.

Hmm, for now I think I will stick with this until I see the design I am asking from a friend. Hope she'll be able to generate something for me. I can't wait!

Let's see in a couple of days or probably weeks?

Wedding Accessories Anyone?

When I started my wedding coordination business, I met a couple of experienced coordinators and wedding vendors who really became my inspiration and yes, some of them became my friends and mentors. One of them happens to be the beautiful Ms. Gerri Diokno of Home and Bridal Essentials.

When I first saw her creations, I was really in awe to see that such creations exist and I never had the chance to discover them when I got married! If only I can turn back time. But then, to ease my frustration, whenever I have clients and they would look for wedding accessories, I would always recommend her. Though I was not able to have these items for my wedding, I am delighted to see my brides have these on theirs. They were just irresistible. Here are some of her creations, see for yourself!


Two Hearts
(bible, pillows, second veil, unity candle set, flutes, cake cutter)


Victorian
(flutes, invitation, cord)


Hair Vines

Crowns

I simply love them! Oh, did I not tell you yet? These pieces are 100% originally designed and hand-made by Ms. Gerri and that's what makes it even more special. Oh and by the way, I am not, in any form, being paid for to post this. Neither I am advertising the products for my own good. This post is just a review of one of the products that I know best.

So girls, if you are a bride planning your wedding and would want to check or ask her for a particular piece that you would want to have on your wedding, here are her contact details:

Looking New?

Yeah! I happened to see this design from Simply Fabulous Blogger Templates and here, I was able to get a layout I like, finally! Do you like it?

I have been wanting to change the layout since day 1 but I can't seem to find the right one that suits my taste. And after a couple of weeks blog hopping and searching for designs and even requesting for some quotes (yes, I was willing to pay just to get a fabulous skin), I found this and I am so happy with the result. Though it was not a 3-column layout with 2 right sidebars, it's fine by me. I really liked it.

Oh and by the way, Lena (the author of the site above) got a couple more layouts so check her site if you are in search of designs. Hers are so nice. I highly recommend them.

Thanks Lena for making such a nice skin.

Alvarez - Lingao Nuptial

Allow me to reminisce the days when Bride's Company officially started operating. I have been doing weddings for free before I officially started my very own coordinating firm. I've done events for relatives and friends and that is where I discovered that I can handle an event.

The very first couple who trusted us their wedding? They are Myrna and Miguel Alvarez. The couple was referred to me by my friend who knew I was starting a coordinating firm late 2006. Myrna was her officemate and she was introduced to me via SMS. On our first meeting, I was very nervous because this is the first time that I will be hired as Bride's Company Events Specialist coordinator and not as a friend. And so, I met the couple.

Myrna, was very very friendly. She wants a detailed wedding yet she still want to keep it to her budget. And for that, you will become proud of her for she has gotten the wedding she wants within the budget the set. A very careful money handler. Miguel, on the other hand was very considerate. For starters, we've had several flaws, I must admit. But you know what, Miguel understood that we were still on the process of learning, in an official events coordinating environment.

I would like to tell you that without Myrna and Miguel, we will never be where we are now. They have helped us a lot during our learning stages and they were very supportive and understanding. Your is an unforgettable wedding.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A Client Feedback

What do you think is the most important thing to receive for us events planners? Feedbacks! Yes, we love to hear from our clients about the service we rendered. This will generally help us identify what we lack and what we still need to improve from the perspective of our customers.

Today, I was very very glad to hear from a bride that their family was very very happy about our services during their wedding last December. I haven't blogged about the wedding yet because I still don't have pictures but I want to share to everyone that this day is again another day when I received a sincere "Thank You!" from a bride for a job well done.

I still have to get permission from the couple to blog about their wedding, too! I don't want issues to arise so I want to be on the safe side =)

Anyway, that's all for now. Pictures to follow when I already got the approval.
