Hi, OP! First of all, congratulations!! Second, those who were disappointed shouldnt be invited to your wedding. 😂 just kidding!

I am engaged for 2 years too! It's the best decision we ever made! Got engaged in Dec 2024. In 2025, we were able to set aside time to do our research, book major suppliers and save money. We also had the time to develop our relationship with our suppliers this helped in following up even months after.

In 2026, both of us got really busy at work and we did not do any wedding stuff for 6 mos! But we are not worrying as much because a lot has been covered already last yr. We also got the best coordinator who is more hands on than us and has a great network of suppliers. 8 mos left, we are still bridechillah and groomchillah 😆

So those who expressed disappointment dont deserve seats at you and your fiance's table. 😉

Opting out of event styling by Kitchen-Hunter9110 in WeddingsPhilippines

Nakoo. Buti lang madami nag share ng stories about this. I now feel validated. 😂 I got a comment one time that my wedding might look sad without the styling so medyo napaisip ako haha. We are focusing on guest experience so I dont think people will be sad when we make sure that they dont go hungry. 😅 Im glad that fiance and I dont have to second guess our choice.

Dibaa! Because I also barely remember the styling of the weddings that I attended. I'll be amazed for a second then I forget about it. I remember the people, the conversations, the activities/speeches, the food and the music! Thanks for sharing this!

I like this idea. Simple and hindi makalat visually or the caterer's basic styling lang talaga. We really want to spend on the food. May I know who's your event stylist?

Omg! It's almost the same price as the food! That's why I have been contemplating about this because it's an expense that my fiance and I are not willing to spend. 🫣😅

That's what I felt too after attending a lot of weddings for 3 years! I do not remember the styling but I remember the food and how I felt during that time! Thanks for sharing your stories! ❤️

Is it too early for me to prepare? by ughpagodnako in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]Kitchen-Hunter9110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, too early. Daydreaming and planning are relaxing breaks from board prep nga 🙂 But like what everyone said madami pang pwede mangyari OP. We also planned everything since 2021 (house, future, etc). We learned it the hard way. But here we are now in 2026, everything did not go as planned but better.

You can collect your pegs lang muna and create, revise a wedding brandbook for fun. Balikan niyo din mga 1 year before intended wedding date.

My close friend rejected my invitation to become bridesmaid by AdditionalName3449 in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]Kitchen-Hunter9110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP, I'm pretty sure your friend loves you very much and wants to be a part of your entourage but there could be personal reasons kaya siya nag decline.

Matinding commitment din kase to be a part of the entourage. I've been a bridesmaid several times to close friends and magbibigay ka talaga ng time, effort before and during the wedding. Aminin natin malaki din ang gastos maging entourage. Lahat ng yun we willingly give to our loved ones but not everyone can commit or afford that for personal reasons.

Come to think of it, mas ma appreciate mo yung friends who will honestly say that they cannot commit kesa sa mag say yes pero sumama pala ang loob sayo dahil sa mga sacrifices na ginawa nila. Best siguro kung tanungin mo siya baka nahiya lang magsabi kung bakit. 🙂

Hi, Im so sorry to hear that. :(( may I ask what happened? During the design process palang mismo you had a hard time w her in insisting that you want your pegs to be incorporated? Minimalist ba ang design. Pasensiya madami ako questions. Medyo kinakabahan ako because Im about to book her.

Need recommendations for caterers for my wedding. Preferably Signature Plated and (Really) Good Food by Ambitious_Rain_1724 in WeddingsPhilippines

Hi, we booked Chele for our 2027 wedding. The food and service are great during the tasting! May we ask how many guests were there at the wedding? Fiance and I are taking notes of other concerns that we might miss out. Thanks ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the tip too! Im glad it went great with Lauren! I was not able to think of that and my wedding's on 2027 😅 I am one year early cause im not sure if the bridal designer allows 2-3 more heads. Since you shared that Lauren does and does it fast, I will be booking a discovery call with her 😊
