Adrin's Hangers from Hangers by Hannah


We need wooden hanger for the fiance's barong. I don't want to settle for the plain ones and have long been waiting for the perfect reason to get the ones with custom wires. Now is the perfect time to commission for those very fun looking hangers from Hangers by Hannah.



Each hanger costs Php400 and can accommodate upto 30 characters. Normal lead time for each order is 1 week from payment confirmation, but these lovelies arrived earlier than expected date. They came neatly wrapped and safeguarded to avoid any damage while in transit.





If you're also interested for these hangers, please reach the supplier through the details provided below. =)

Shoes to Keep Us From Cold Feet :)


Our wedding shoes are here! It was two weeks ago when we bought Adrin's shoes from Bradford. We chose to buy his shoes from that store because it would look better if Adrin will still stand taller than me after I wear my 4-inch heels. His shoes will give him additional height for about 2.5 inches.




As for me, I already claimed the custom shoes that I ordered from Faire La Fete last Saturday. They're oh so pretty and looks exactly how I imagined it. Goes very much in line with our wedding theme and gives my tootsies that perfect fit.




Look at that personalized insole!

I was supposed to get them on the same day we bought Adrin's shoes but I had to wait for a week further because of the incorrect name that was initially place on the insole.

His name became ALDRIN! Haha. | Source: Faire La Fete

And given the maarte me, I long planned to put sticker decals on our shoes. I was able to source cute ones from eBay, and here they are, already mounted to their rightful place. So cheesy! =)

The Jams Are Here!


It was two weeks ago when I placed my order of jams from The Fruit Garden. Pierre, the French owner, told me that the goods will be ready the following week. So last weekend, Adrin and I went to their commissary to pick-up our giveaways. 

Here they are, waiting to be packed and/or labelled.

Countdown: 2 months!


I can't believe that it has been 30days already since I last posted a checkpoint entry. To say that we've been busy is a grave understatement. I was overwhelmed with the list I created last month that it caused me some panic. Work is uncooperative and just proved to be as demanding as how I predicted it to be. Even this blog has been somewhat neglected that updating it more often is now one of my priorities. Haha. But enough of the ranting, and let's get into the business. =)




Let's see what we've accomplished the past 30 days. 
  • Complete wedding documents - DONE. We've secured our baptismal and confirmation certificates.
  • Layout for other stationery - In Progress. Adrin was able to complete the table numbers, and needs to work on the others still.
  • Complete Darlene’s program workbook
  • Complete Pre-Cana Seminar and Canonical Interview - DONE. We completed it over the weekend!
  • Print invitations - DONE. A portion of our invites will be released today! Weeee. 
  • Create our missals
  • Detailing with Josiah’s - DONE. We just have minor follow-up items left.
  • Detailing with Scenta Creations - DONE
  • Buy wedding shoes for Adrin - DONE
  • Complete our wedding day accessories
  • Order Fruit Garden giveaways - DONE. Orders received too!
  • Finish DIY signage
  • Book vans for transportation provision - DONE
  • Secure a building permit - DONE. Adrin worked really hard to get this as soon as we can.
  • Start house construction work - DONE. Work has started and we hope for it to be completed before our wedding. :)

Ten tasks completed out of fifteen. Not bad. Completing the building permit and starting the house construction took a great amount of our time that it bumped-off some of the planned wedding tasks. BUT we do not mind because it's equally important.

I'm sure next month will be more demanding, so I need an organized list of things to accomplish.
  1. Send-out all invitations
  2. Complete processing of marriage license
  3. Update Darlene's  program workbook
  4. Compile photos for AVP presentations
  5. Create our missals
  6. Complete our wedding day accessories
  7. Pick-up my wedding shoes
  8. Complete layouts for stationery
  9. Label/pack our giveaways
  10. Finish DIY Signage
  11. Entourage dress fitting and delivery
  12. Delivery of barongs to male entourage
  13. Another meeting with KTG
  14. Finalize song list
  15. Shop for house fixtures
I'll stop here for now. I hope we get to complete all of those and more in the next 30 days. We can do this! =)

DIY Invites Update #6: They're Almost Ready


For the past weeks, Adrin and I have been intermittently working on our invitations. We're just a little over two months now from the big day, and invitations must be sent out by first week of December. Printing and cutting has been completed, together with the mounting of the main invite on the pocketfolds.





Two weeks ago we were able to buy the entire amount of lace we need, and I've sewn (did it all by hand by the way) them into bands already. This weekend has again been very productive. Neat sets of invites have been filed and tucked. Yes, all seventy of them. Wooohooo!




As of today, there are only two more items lacking before we get to send them out.
- Monogram print/cut-outs
- Envelope labels

Twenty days left to complete those two! December 1 is delivery/shipping out date, but I'm very positive that we can do it earlier than that. =)
