Just did our prenup shoot and dang..

2027 bride here and we just did our prenup shoot last Sunday!!

Location: Mt. Gulugod Baboy Mabini, Batangas
Total of 4 looks/sets. Madaming variety sa location na ito in terms of view. Nasa diskarte ng photographer nyo yan.

The entire shoot and overall trip was soooo smooth. No pressure, no delays, no mishaps, just vibes.
Mindset was, pag stressed kayo for any reason it will reflect sa photos so we really aimed na smooth lang ang buong shoot.

Things we did that helped with this:

  1. Looked for a photographer/studio that has a portfolio or has works na similar to our vibe as a couple.
  2. And dapat ka-vibe nyo din! Kahit sa chat/text lang mararamdaman nyo yun kung magka-jive kayo. Kasi the mood will totally reflect sa day of shoot nyo. If hindi kayo comfortable sa photographer nyo, hindi din kayo comfortable sa pictures.
  3. Also remember, getting superb quality doesn't have to break the bank! We're a budgetarian couple pagdating sa wedding planning namin, and super budget-friendly sila!
  4. Created a prenup packet and shared it with our photographer. It has the timeline, peg for looks/sets, our outfits. (you don't have to do this though. this is just the type A in me lol but at least dapat clear yung time!!)
  5. Research and prepare! Babad kami sa pinterest grabbing ng pegs lol. Prepare your outfits! You don't have to liteally copy yung peg na magustuhan nyo but at least something similar!
  6. Communicate and collaborate! Mas gusto ng photographer nyo na alam nila ano nasa isip nyo then yung creative minds nila magsusuggest based on what you want! Also brides, collaborate din with your hubby to be!! Remember, magpopose din sila so dapat yung peg na gusto mo, gusto din nila.
  7. Get help! Ask your best man or maid of honor na samahan kayo. Having someone with you that not only will help you but also will cheer you on is really a mood energizer!
  8. Nagkaron pa kami ng prenup content creator ng di oras since yung kasama namin todo picture ng video din samin ng BTS while on shoot haha

Our prenup shoot supplier: Fika Moments and Make up
by Stephanie Liboon
Peso power: Php, 1x,xxx

They are a hubby and wifey tandem where si husband ang photog and si wifey ang HMUA! Booking them is one of our best decisions sa overall ongoing wedding planning journey namin. They operated like a well-oiled machine since collaborated lahat ng looks and pegs and timing.
And like what I said: getting superb quality doesn't have
to break the bank!!!

You can really feel their passion sa craft nila and it
showed!! I'll post very few of the faceless pics here and let the pictures speak for themselves kasi di pa din talaga ako maka-get over. They deserve to be highlighted!

*Edit: if you're looking into doing your prenup sa same location, or any nature location for that matter. Please always make sure to not leave any trash behind. Not promoting bonfires! The view and nature itself is more than enough. When we did the bonfire it was looked closely by the tour guide during the shoot, the fire didn't last longer than 10 minutes and cleaned up right away. but to future couples na mag-shoot, skip nyo na lang. ☺*️

Wedding gown VS Honeymoon Budget

I’m feeling torn right now, even though deep down I think I already know what to prioritize. I just need some validation, haha.

For my wedding gown, I had my dream designer create a sketch for me. He was very accommodating and open to all my requests, and I truly trust his talent. I know the final gown would probably turn out beautiful. However, I’m having a hard time visualizing the sketches, and something in my heart just doesn’t fully connect with them.

My budget for the wedding gown is 150k, but the quote I received is around 220k to 270k. I feel like that’s quite high for a wedding gown, especially since I also really want to make my safari honeymoon in Africa happen. Because of that, I’m considering choosing a more affordable gown so I can prioritize my safari dream.

I just feel conflicted and would love some perspective on whether I’m thinking about this the right way.

Beware of suppliers like this!!!

- Hindi nagbibigay ng updated draft contract for review
- Namimili ng client
- Hindi transparent kausap

Nag-post ako sa Bride and Breakfast Wedding Community looking for an onsite studio booth. May isang supplier na nag-comment, so I reached out and nag-inquire ako.

When we decided to proceed, I asked for a draft contract first so we could review it properly. May ilang clarifications lang kami and we wanted to add a force majeure clause since wala siya sa initial draft. They said pwede naman daw i-add, pero sa final contract na raw.

Since okay naman na kami sa terms, I asked them to send the revised/final draft contract so we could review, sign, and settle the downpayment right away.

That’s when things started getting questionable.

Sabi nila na DP first daw before contract because naka-indicate daw sa contract na may downpayment na binigay. Medyo unusual, but we were still willing to proceed. Sabi namin, send the revised draft contract first so we can check everything properly, along with the QR for payment.

No reply.

Then suddenly, they messaged saying the slot was no longer available because another “client” had already confirmed the booking. They even sent a screenshot of the conversation as proof.

Naturally, I said they should have at least consulted us first, especially since we were already in the process of confirming and were only waiting for the revised contract and payment details they failed to send.

A little while later, we realized something odd.

The “client” in the screenshot they sent? HIS OWN WIFE. 🫣

How did we know?

Because on my original post, the owner commented and tagged their business page, same name that appeared in the contract. When we checked, the “client” in the screenshot was the owner’s wife. I honestly didn’t catch it at first, but my groom did. Same name, same profile picture, same tagged personal accounts.

So yes, they used his own wife as the “other client” who supposedly took the slot.

Very unprofessional, dishonest, and honestly insulting.

If they no longer wanted to proceed with us, they could have simply said so. No need to fabricate another booking just to avoid the conversation.

Anyway, sharing this here so other brides can be more careful.

Always ask for a contract first. Always review before paying. And if something feels off, trust your gut. 😊

Munting Gubat or Timmy in the Woods?

Hi, sa mga graduates and B2B. Which one would you choose Munting Gubat or Timmy in the Woods?

For context, we wanted a forest wedding for ceremony and reception. 80-100 pax ang guest. Munting gubat really is our 1st choice but we’re hesitant due to location, lalo pag pauwi na ng gabi. Mas prefer ni G2B sa Timmy since mas malapit sa Manila. While me,B2B mas prefer si Munting Gubat since super achieve niya ung dream forest wedding.

If you’re a guest which one would you prefer? And as a graduate bride and B2B, how did you know na yun na ung place para sa inyo? Please help your girl here huhu.

More pics at the comment sec for ref. Thank youuuu

Sage Green Groom Suit

Hello!! My fiancé initially wanted to wear a dark olive/forest green suit but fell in love with this color when he saw it in 😅 it’s actually more grayish than green in person.

need help in deciding color palette for our wedding huhu initially wanted my bridesmaids to be in sage green, but now i’m reluctant since of course i want my groom to standout sa color ng entourage namin. Suggestions please!!! For entourage, parents, principal sponsors and guests. Thank youuuuu

Wedding registry bath sheets

I am getting married and the only thing I really want/need for the house are nice matching bath towels. We have a crate and barrel registry so I put on the Turkish cotton bath sheets (12) so I can have a nice set at the house. They’re $60 a piece but my friends and family know how I want them and have no problem paying. I just want something that feels nice and will last a long time. Is the bath sheet vs bath towel worth it? Has anyone tried crate and barrels Turkish cotton and is it worth the price? It isn’t too late tomorrow change the brand but I want something that feels nice and will last a long time.

As a shy girly, parang mas okay maging intimate and private yung wedding ko. Is it ok kahit catholic? Para kasing may kasabihan na mas okay daw if kasal sa pari.

We found a reception venue that we really love, but it’s 45 minutes away from our chosen church. What are your thoughts on this? Should we give up this reception venue and look for one nearby? The church is in Silang, Cavite, and the reception is in Indang.
