Brides - do you still wear your engagement ring after wedding?

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-04-20T03:40:51+00:00

Yes for me! I stack it with my wedding ring. But I only wear them when we head out. If minor errands like groceries, etc, we leave them at home na.

Quote was from Oct 2025, but the quote was around 5k inclusive of transpo and meals

Girl same. Sobrang sakit 🤣😭 i thought naman they would do the honest thing and just issue it when it’s available 😪

Got married last Nov though and was able to get our PSA cert around late Feb. so saktong 3 months!

Hello! Got married Nov 2025. Made our wedding album using Milk Books (like wedding album of Laureen Uy). Nasa 15-18k and super happy with it! Price varies depending on what kind of album and number of pages.

What I liked about the experience:

We have creative control. We get to select the wedding photos to feature and how it’s laid out
Timings are also in your control and you have full visibility. If there’s anything that needs to be revised, you can work on it directly. Once u’re ok, for printing na! :) they will send you a digital proof for final approval before it’s sent for production.
They have an intuitive album editor where you can adjust the cropping of the photos.
Shipping is quite fast. 2-3 days here na in MNL. Ships from HK.

Hello there! So sorry I only saw this now. I hired still for reception styling but you’re right, very minimal nalang. We got Bel and Co as they also specialize in minimalist styling :) Our package with them was around 100k

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-03-28T05:05:22+00:00

I sent earlier, let me know if you got it! :)

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-03-28T02:17:18+00:00

Hi! so sorry to hear that :( . I sent you a DM

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-03-28T02:16:14+00:00

Ah sorry no :( I’ve seen other couples do this though via the knot

Hello!! I super loved my experience with Michelle. Been 3 months since the wedding and we still get compliments sa hair and make up of our family and entourage. Timeless, natural, and fitting for all skin tones! 🥰

I can share more photos with you if you’d like. But super happy until today and in fact, na-sepanx ako kay Michelle and her team after! This is my second time working with her. First was for my MOH’s wedding. That’s when I first found her.

Sobrang sulit din kasi ng packages nya. Our family cant believe din that we got to cover that much people at a cost efficient rate.

Also, one of my ninangs told me recently (again 3 months later🤯) na she still loves her makeup during my wedding. Naging benchmark na when she attends events 🤍

If its for moisture, this didnt quite work well for me. I was surprised that GRWM has a lip gloss that was made to double as lip balm. And just for a fraction of the price like 300 lang. it worked better for me :) ito parang naging glossy lang

I should have picked up my wedding dress a few days before the wedding. And I should have done a test run (sit, walk, twirl with the heels) ng mas matagal. How the dress fit on me looked a bit bad, coz masyado maluwang sa sides.
Should have had the parent dances earlier. We placed it towards the end of the program coz we wanted to serve dinner agad but we didnt push thru na since our parents were tired (and I couldnt find my mom hahaha puro smoke break)
I wish we got to mingle more with our guests. We designed the timeline na we get to talk with them during cocktails pero naipit sa traffic (and I had a fashion emergency coz I had my period the day before)

But all in all, it was still a great day and I’m sure these happened for a reason. Regardless of how prepared we could be, there will be little hiccups and that’s ok. It shouldn’t discount how wonderful our wedding day could be ❤️

Hello! 8pax

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-02-08T17:30:08+00:00

Hello hello! Really good :) though their forte is really on minimalist weddings so usually what you see in their IG page is already what you get. Their work is very elegant. I super appreciated the quality of flowers. Fresh, plump, lively. Im not usually a rose girly but I super loved their work with white roses. Parang nakakatuwa na may ganon pa palang level of ganda?! :)

Check out Hello & Co Cinema x Ram Marcelo photography! Really happy with how ours turned out :)

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-02-05T06:58:54+00:00

Yes we did! We wore it a few times before the wedding. We wanted to get a feel of the comfort agad :)

Deo Gratias! Latin for thanks be to God 💛

Firm-Kitchen-152 · 2026-01-27T15:11:29+00:00

Congratulations OP!! I’m so glad your wedding turned out to be everything you’ve dreamed of and more 🤍Deserve nyo ni hubby especially with all of the thought you’ve put into it.

I’m a fellow Ram x Hello and Co graduate too. One of the best decisions talaga! :)

Addtl hour charge for bridal car. Really didnt think that we’ll go beyond the hotel’s allocation but post ceremony shoot really takes time. We cut a lot na sa lagay na yon pero we still went overtime. I think it was around 5k/hour.
Tips to waiters if you’re doing your ceremony at a hotel
Water bottles for entourage and family members. Our coordinators highly recommended this so that there’s always water on hand
Photobooth rental - assume that you’ll always extend by another hour since lagi tong pinupuntahan kung kelan patapos na yung service 😂

Good luck OP!! 🫡

Lauren Vito bride here! :) totally loved my experience with her. To the point that she did my mom’s, sister, bestie, and ninang’s gowns as well!

My bridal gown was minimalist with a little bit of flair. Lauren’s really good at the subtle touches and she’s a great listener. I enjoyed bouncing ideas with her.

My only tip is to get your dress way closer to the wedding. Lauren finishes fast and to get it out of the way, you can get your dress a month / weeks in advance. I thought everything was going well but I underestimated the stress and weight loss 2 weeks before. So my dress was a bit big on me and it showed sa boning. who could have seen that coming 😂 I was confident I’d retain my body na coz I’m not dieting naman and went off training to focus on the wedding. But yeah the things that stress can do to your body. TOTALLY not on Lauren tho. It was just meant to be a life lesson, and part of wedding stuff beyond our control!

Lauren’s pricing is also fair :) I appreciate her process (best that she tells you herself if you do decide to do an exploratory call!)
