of weddings and flowers
when we were planning our wedding almost 8 years ago, i had tremendous help from the weddingsatwork email group. back then, there were no blogs yet, not much independent, unbiased reviews of wedding related services, particularly in the philippines. nowadays, it seems that information for organizing weddings, or any event for that matter, has become much more accessible.

looking back to my own wedding, i am happy with most of the suppliers i ended up with (i had no wedding coordinator; proudly a d.i.y bride!). our photographer was superb and discreet (and that was before the advent of digital photography), and our videographer who was just starting back then was none other than jason magbanua, who, several years later, was the one commissioned to shoot claudine barretto’s wedding. if there was one aspect i wasn’t entirely happy about, it was the florist and flower arrangements we got. to this day, i still feel disappointed about that. so here’s a tip i thought i would share:
for those of you needing flowers for an wedding on a budget, find someone who offers wholesale calla lilies, roses, daisies, hydrangeas, and other flowers. not only will they come out cheaper, they will also be arrive with your much fresher. you can also order flower packages which would include the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, and table arrangements. or if the budget is really tight, you can just order the flowers and have a talented friend or professional do the arrangement. or, if money was no object and you’re looking for rare flowers, or a type you won’t find in dangwa, such as ecuadorian long stem roses, consider getting them from fifty flowers. they ship your orders by fedex within 2-3 days of being cut.
