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. 😊

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.

Help mee

Hello everyone!

We are looking for a budget friendly Church and Reception venue for 50pax around Metro Manila, preferably air-conditioned.

Can you please help us out by giving any recommendations?

Thank you!

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.

Is it normal for women to inquire about weddings kahit wala pa po proposal pero para lang makapag prepare na ? mga within 2 yrs na kasi ang plan
