Life’s Lessons

A friend will exchange vows with her long time boyfriend come December and until now she hasn’t made up her mind who will make her wedding dress. I know the dilemma. Been there before…especially if one is on a tight budget that even if she wanted to have the best wedding gown, she has no money to splurge on it. When it was my time, I didn’t bought the gown. I just rented it for the occasion but the gown was intentionally made for me…according to my measurement. I remember hopping from one wedding gallery to another but I couldn’t find a gown that fits me well. I am petite and small-framed. So it’s hard for me to find one among the wedding dresses that are available in wedding coutures in town.

My friend might try to look at Jessica Iverson couture’s beautiful creations. She has collection of wedding dresses, evening dresses, and maternity dresses! My, those collections are so beautiful that I wish I could wear one just for photo shoot. We didn’t have the luxury of time to have a decent photo shoot after the wedding before so it’s one of my frustrations until this time that I really wanted to hire a photographer to take portraits of me and Ace in wedding outfits. Will this gown look beautiful on me? It’s so nice that I feel I will be gorgeous in it. Wish I can have it!LOL

I am a person who loves almost everything to be personalized even if it will cost me so much time, effort and money to be able to achieve that personal touch. That’s the reason why despite of the many choices of ready-made wedding invitations and wedding favors, I braved the busy streets of Divisoria to get materials for my wedding invitations and commissioned my sister to make my wedding favors.

I am just lucky creativity runs in our blood that I and my sister was able to do my desired result. For those who are not blessed with creative minds and crafty hands, and those who have no patience in assembling little trinkets to make a wedding favor, you are lucky that WeddingAvenue has cheap wedding favors so it won’t hurt your wedding budget that much. There’s so much in store for the bride and groom to be. Just have patience to look around the site and pick your personal choice. So without much hassle, WeddingAvenue could personalize wedding favors for you depending on your wedding theme and motif. If I will be wedded again, and I have funds for personalized favors from the store, I’ll have that one in the photo. It’s a pepper and salt shaker. It speaks for mine and Ace’ love of cooking.

Prices of wedding packages for hair and make-up is jaw-dropping especially here in the city. We hopped from one salon to the other when we are still preparing for our wedding but even the cheapest rate is beyond our budget. One determining factor in the prices is the brand of the make-up that they will be using. So if you want branded make-up to be applied on your face, then go for the expensive packages. I thought we will be paying for the skill but it’s not. Others are not even too skillful to do the hair and make-up because most did not undergo formal schooling to be a certified beautician. In short, they are not graduates of Maryland Beauty School that is said to be one of the best schools in cosmetology. I wouldn’t mind paying extra for the services as long as the beautician could prove to me that he/she is certified and is a product of certain beauty school.
