Wedding Colors
With the advent of Pinterest, inspirations to do practically anything, were easy to find. When I was still new to the app, I would find myself awake at the wee hours of the morning scrolling from pictures to pictures, websites to websites, pinning and reading what I like. (Shameless plug: cenidlareg is my Pinterest account)
Anyway, one of the first things I researched (which I also think is one of the very reason why I joined) through Pinterest are related to my wedding preparation. In terms of my wedding color, I limited my search to beach wedding colors. I stumbled upon the color coral and I instantly loved it. Here's is the what coral looks like.
Perfect for the wedding eh? Anything close to that color is fine with me.

San Juan Nepomuceno Church
Last July 19, we went to San Juan Nepomuceno Church to ask for the availability of our chosen date. Since I already had an idea that payment for churches would cost as much as Php25,000.00, I thought we would pay about that much. Well, you guessed it, I thought wrong. The fee is only Php10,000.00. Yay!
The lady assigned in the wedding logbook (sorry, I forgot her name) also gave us the list of their requirements. In the list is a note that wedding coordinators, own readers and commentators are not allowed. Fine with me. There were also information on additional fees: we will pay Php100.00 for every godparent after the limit of 5 pairs, and Php300.00 for the electricity that the photographer or videographer will use. Not a problem.
Regarding the structure of the church, Wikipedia said it was built during the Spanish colonial period. The church and it's interior is beautiful. I like it. There was no "this is it" feeling though. Probably because the bell tower ruined it for me. The material they used to build it is different. Oh well. I still like it.
Here's a photo:
Looking at it and imagining myself walking down that aisle gives me the thrills. Can't wait!

Coleman Sale!
It was Jon and I's first time to attend the sale and we scored big time. We spent Php11,945.00 for items worth Php43,170.00. Yep, we only paid 28% of the total worth.
We bought: (2) 10x10ft Weatherlite Tents, (18) Twist Flashlights, (1) Aluminum Hydration Bottle, ((2) Switch Flashlights, (1) Lantern 4D Rugged Led CPX, (1) 50QT Extreme Cooler, and (2) 3x3m Gazebo Screen House.
So we tried setting up the Gazebo Screenhouse yesterday and it barely fit the living room! Thank God. That means it's big enough to fit a lot of people. Perfect for the wedding. Here are pictures of us setting it up.
By the way, the thing was 77% off. So from Php5,935.00, we only paid Php1,385.00. Yay!
Jon thought the 10x10ft tent wouldn't fit so he decided to just set it up in another day at a bigger place. I will post pictures when that happens.

*We plan to sell it after the wedding. :D

Disorganized Organization
I had all these random ideas floating in my head. It causes me to panic. I made myself believe that I have done a lot of things for the wedding but I recently realized I haven't. We were only able to book the church, reception venue, photographer/videographer and the make-up artist.
We should have accomplished a lot of things already. I can't go back in time to remind myself to organize stuff I read/will be reading from the internet. However, I can do something now.
Enter Excel:
To start organizing, I added worksheets for every DIY's, decors, blog sources, etc. Anything I think of doing. Anything of importance. I know it's still disorganized but it works for me. I'll post more updates soon.

Five Months Left.
That's it. Only 5 months until the wedding. I'm starting to panic just thinking about it. The fiance and I have not done a lot of preparations. We procrastinated.

Let the Planning Begin
Months before Jon proposed, I was already browsing fora, blogs and whatnots. Most of the time it took me until the wee hours of the morning just reading through stuff and marveling at someone else's wedding. It was no joke.
Wedding preparation tip: talk to your fiance first about the concept or theme you wanted for your wedding... as detailed as possible. There are tons of ideas for each theme and you don't want to be overwhelmed by it. The theme of the wedding should fit the personality of both the bride and the groom.
Jon and I like traveling so we decided on a destination wedding. In 2009, I bought a lot with a wonderful cove (clubhouse) in Laiya, Batangas. We go to this clubhouse (pictured below) so often that we did not even think of finding more options for our destination wedding.
So Kota Keluarga it is! Hmm... pero magkano?
