Church: Shrine of St. Therese of Child Jesus
This is my dream church! But it never occurred to me that we will be able to hold our wedding at such a grand and beautiful shrine. You have to see the interiors and walk down that aisle to experience the grandeur that this holy and beautiful shrine brings. I can't help but smile every time I enter the shrine. :)

Reception: Palacio De Maynila
Of all the venues that we have visited, only Palacio De Maynila qualifies for our venue requirements: huge party space, parking slots, beautiful drapes included and a separate lobby area for the cocktails. Finding Palacio was another "meant-to-be". It was not even on our schedule for ocular visits. We just coincidentally saw it along Roxas Blvd. and decided to just go inside and see its interiors. Upon entering, we were mesmerized as we see our requirements granted.

Sometimes whoever offers the most friendly atmosphere gets your heart and nothing else matters. That's how we have felt for Meicel Jewelry. The owner Ms. Meicel is very friendly as well as her assistants. We have seen them first at an expo and it was her husband who have assisted us (though at that time we still don't have the plan on buying). This is the same merchant where Momon bought the very beautiful diamond ring.

Full Wedding Coordination: Celebrations by Marianne Chua

She's been an in-house coordinator of Blue Gardens and also a W@Wie before. The first time we met her truly gave us the sparks and glitters that we will jive in coordinating our much awaited event.

Photobooth: Pose & Print
There are a lot of Photo Booth suppliers everywhere. But besides the price and the props it is best to be more observant of the physical photo's quality and lighting effect. Pose & Print has the proper lighting that doesn't bounce back to the camera screen and make your skin dull white. A photo booth that is professionally services great photo souvenirs.

Hosting Services: Sweet Casuyon
Having a well-known wedding host for W@W is one of the characteristics of Sweet. Having been able to meet her during a friend's wedding, we already thought she is good, bubbly, interesting and pretty to be our host. With all the luck that we can get, I even won her services at the W@W Auction in November 2011. If only I can be happier! Sweet is sweet at heart.

Hair & Make Up Artist (Prenup): Mariah Camaya Santos
In the look for a good hair and make up artist that can assist us for our entire day of photo shoot at Pampanga, I was referred by our coordinator to Mariah. He definitely won our hearts very much during the entire shoot- which includes my Mom, me and Momon. He's very comfortable to work with and renders the best service one could get from her. He made sure that our entire photo shoot appearance was well-assisted and well-rendered. Giving me a lot of hair and make up looks in just a day, I can guarantee he is the best HMUA for a prenup shoot that you can get.

Hair & Make Up Artist (Wedding Day): Tippy Destacamento
In the hunt for a great yet affordable HMUA, I stumbled upon the name "Tippy" and the raves about him on W@W. I went curious and do my research. I admire how he views Filipinas and how she admires the natural Filipina beauty as he described himself as a "Third World Make-up Artist in the Philippines who firmly believes that women are born and existed as beautiful creatures to emanate beauty."

Bridal Couturier: Concha Couture
It is every girl's dream to once in a lifetime wear something grand and be a princess for a day. I would love to achieve this without burning our wallets and Ms. Concha is the right answer to having an elegant and glamorous gown with intricate details that works within the budget. Her artistic strokes during sketching was really admirable and most importantly she sews from her heart.

Wedding Cord: Project Dream Wedding
I would like to have a unique wedding cord. I am determined to do this myself as part of my DIY, but when I saw samples to be my guide I was overwhelmed and decided to buy something ready made. I then remember from the W@W forums about a previous W@Wie who have used her talents in making unique wedding cords for weddings. When I browsed her portfolio I was amazed and happy to see a wedding cord that is professionally made and elegantly unique.

Entourage Flowers: FullBlooms
As long as my bouquet is of shades of pink, I am already cool with it. I have known FullBlooms thru my coordinator Marianne. I have browsed to their portfolio and their flowers really look fresh and lively. So without further ado, I booked them for the entire entourage flowers.

Church Flowers: Casa Fiore Manila
Our church is only bonded to one florist which is Casa Fiore Manila with a shop located at the Basement of the Church. I don't prioritize on flowers but the included white pots are a great to look at and are very matching to the church. The church is already grand so the flowers need to be simple yet elegant to look at.
