my bouquet upclose...

Side Kwento : I won their bridal bouquet during one of the hourly promos ng bridal fair. Kaya I got it for free na. Laking tuwa ko talaga worth P4500 daw yung napanalunan ko for basic bouquet. Dahil ang laki na ng natipid ko nagpa-quote na din ako sa kanila for my ento. However still with my very minimal budget, di ko binook lahat ng entou ko sa kanila kasi mejo ma-out of budget na kami. We decided to have bouquets for the moms and maid of honor then wrist corsage for the secondary sponsors and bridesmaids. On the day, meron kasamang pomanders saka headdress yung package ko kaya nadagdagan libre ko…Feeling ko nalugi sila sakin…=)

 Pros  :  My bouquet is free need I say more..? Plus yung surprise free pomanders and headdress din. O di ba? Feeling blessed ang peg..=>

Cons  : According to Ms Cece of kiss the girl, na-late sila dahil kulang daw ng 1 bouquet  yung package nung pick up nila. I asked favor to Ms Cece to pick up the flowers because Casa Fiore charges 3k for delivery. Kamusta naman sya compare sa package ko?  Kaya inantay pa nila matapos gawin yung bouquet which causes delay. My bouquet is sobrang simple. Though di ako particular sa flowers and since libre nga di naman ako nagexpect.. =>

Since we're not able to include flowers for our principal sponsors and flower girls, we still need to look for suppliers that can work within our very minimal budget. This is where my mom's charm came in handy..=>

Side Kwento   :  Ang laki ng difference compared sa mga florist sa bridal fair. Nag-provide lang ako ng pegs for the supplier and maganda naman kinalabasan. The flower baskets were used for the church offerings (dahil nadoble na) while the head dress were used as an accessories to our registration table.We thought of providing flower fans for our ninang instead of the usual bouquet. Para double purpose na din since sobrang init sa church. With the number of principal sponsors and considering na May month is peak season for flowers (according to our florist) ang laki lang ng natipid ko…=>

Tips and Learnings:

1. Take advantage of bridal fairs malay nyo manalo din kayo katulad ko…=)
2. Maganda pa rin if you have pegs. I'm not particular kasi sa flowers. Very minimal lang alam ko sa aspect na yan. Kaya do your research, ako nganga lang pag tinatanong kung anung klase ng flowers gusto ko…Kaya siguro ganun kasimple yung bouquet ko…=)
3. Search for neighborhood suppliers, maraming mas mura lalo na kung particular ka sa flowers na gusto mo mas makakamura ka talaga. And since neighborhood walang problema ang pick-up..=)
4. Don't splurge too much on flowers. Sayang kasi eh, yung gastos at yung mga flowers na itatapon after the wedding. Ako na ang KJ..=)
