August 11 2026 graduate bride here. Nabasa ko sa libro na before preparing for a wedding, talk to your fiancé about your priorities for the wedding and work around that. You don’t need to decide on everything right away and you can spend according to your priorities. Not wedding industry priorities.

For me, the top 3 were: photographer, food, and rings.

For him: family, food, and wag ako mastress (OTD coordinator My Dream Events by Christine Sy!).

What we decided on: an intimate civil wedding officiated by my dad. We booked the photographer first (Oak St. Studios) and worked around their availability. We also chose a plated dinner (Ninyo Fusion Cuisine) with 30 guests. Walang program. Wala din aisle.

Eventually naisip din namin na gusto pala namin ng styling, so kumuha kami ng mura lang (Bloomfields Fleurs). Di rin ako magaling magmakeup so HMUA (Fen V). Di ko alam gagawin sa kamay ko so sige bouquet na rin. Clothes were not a priority so we ended up going to the mall and finalizing our outfits (akin sa Ever New, kanya sa Levi’s) 3 days before the wedding!

Since we only had 30 guests, we took the time to handwrite heartfelt thank you notes to everyone and prepare personalized souvenirs from shopee.

Ayon. Yun lang naman 🙂 we were so happy with the wedding kaya I wanted to share. Best wishes to everyone!!!

May nagbigay din sa amin ng Bea cake hihi
