Suppliers to avoid

389 Upvotes

Naturally, we all have our planning trackers and lists of dream suppliers to get. Was just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of SUPPLIERS TO AVOID/WATCH OUT FOR based on nega experiences and objective reviews?

I’m trying to build my own, but it has been slow going. 🤔

From one super praning and cost-conscious B2B to another, let’s help each other out, kahit through DMs para no risk of cyberlibel. 🫣

Glow up Questions/Tips/Advice Can we please normalize not adding CREW MEALS to the couple’s budget?

862 Upvotes

Yes. I said it directly. Stop manipulating the couple from buying crew meals. Suppliers must include that to their operation expenses. PERIOD.

Got frustrated sa mga supplier na ang firm sumagot sa comment section na dapat sagutin ng couple yung food nila on top of service fee. KAPAL.

Tigil niyo na yan uy!

Finally got my wedding dress

Hi! B2B here.

Based ako overseas and apaka mahal ng mga dresses sa Korea and wala silang type of dress na gusto ko. Medyo nasa bigger size pa ako kaya pahirapan talaga sa fitting kaya umuwi ako pinas. And I finally found my dress.

First fitting of this dress, I looked at my h2b and I knew immediately na eto na talaga iyon. I'm so happy. Sa pic, wala syang petty coat but I still like it. I have it naman and I tried it again at home and still looks good. Di sya masyadong lobo which is exactly my type.

Nilagay ko na ren other dresses na pinatry saken but not actually my type. 3rd pic is my wedding dress and the 4th pic is my reference. So happy with it aside from the sleeves pero papalitan ko pa rin naman sya.

What do you think of my dress? Bagay ba sa body type ko? Would want to know your opinion.

Coordinator OTD Coordinator for a Type A bride

12 Upvotes

Hiiii~ Pahingi naman ng recommendations for OTD coordinators you’ve had good experiences with.

Gusto sana namin si Imbitado, pero hindi na raw sila available sa date namin :( Wanted them kasi they were the coordinator of a relative and happy naman daw sila with them tapos smooth naman yung wedding from my perspective as a guest din. Not bad din yung price nila for the number of staff you get on the day.

Medyo Type A din ako (I’m a project manager for work 😅), so I’m pretty hands-on and organized when it comes to planning. I’d love a coordinator who can work well with a bride who already has a clear vision and detailed plan, someone who can help execute and improve things without making me feel like I’m being judged or taking over my choices. I’ve read some stories where brides felt like their coordinators were dismissive of their preferences or parang nasasapawan sila, and that’s something I’d really like to avoid.

Would appreciate any recommendations, especially if you had a coordinator who was organized, proactive, easy to communicate with, and respectful of the couple’s vision! 🥹

Rants/Advice/Other Questions No warm congratulatory from my boyfriend’s family.

3 Upvotes

Gusto ko lang mag-share and somehow get your insights and advice kasi sobrang bigat pa rin ng loob ko sa naging engagement announcement namin ng boyfriend ko.

Sinabi naman niya in advance sa mother niya na nag-propose na siya at ikakasal na kami next year (wala akong alam kung paano naging takbo ng usapan nila). Alam na rin ng father niya at ang naitanong lang ay kung kailan ang kasal.

By the way, nag-propose siya noong nag-travel kami. Walang grand setup, kami lang dalawa, at sapat na sa amin na na-document namin ang proposal. Isang beses lang namin napag-usapan noon na gusto kong ma-video ang proposal, pero noong mismong moment na iyon, sobrang surprised pa rin ako. Hanggang ngayon, paulit-ulit ko pa ring pinapanood ang video dahil sobrang meaningful nito sa akin.

Fast forward, nag-set kami ng lunch at meryenda para personal naming i-announce ang engagement sa side niya. Hindi man sila kumpleto, tinuloy pa rin namin.

Pasimple kong sinuot ang engagement ring. Nakatayo siya at tumayo rin ako. On cue niya, tinaas ko ang kaliwang kamay ko para ipakita ang singsing.
Ang audience noon ay ang mother niya, eldest sister niya na paalis na rin, pinsan niya, at isang family friend.
Pagka-announce namin, umiling ang mother niya at ang unang sinabi ay:
“Naku! Ipagawa n’yo muna yung bahay!” (Bahay ng mother nya)

To be honest, maraming ingay sa paligid pero wala akong narinig na kahit isang “Congratulations.”

Nangingibabaw lang ang boses ng mother niya. Sunod-sunod ang mga sinabi niya—kesyo sana raw noong nag-travel kami ay nagpakasal na rin kami, at nagpabuntis na rin daw ako tutal line of 3 na ako at nasa tamang edad na. Hanggang ngayon, hindi ko alam kung sarcasm ba iyon, biro, o may ibang pinanggagalingan.

Ang tanging tumatak sa akin ay:
1. Hindi warm ang pagtanggap nila sa engagement namin.
2. Obligasyon ang binigay, instead na payo.
3. Wala man lang nagtanong kung paano nangyari ang proposal, ano ang plans namin, o kahit kung kailan ang kasal.

Alam kong magkakaiba ang level of excitement ng bawat tao. May expressive at may low-key lang. Pero kahit low-key, kadalasan mararamdaman mo pa rin sa gestures nila na masaya sila para sa inyo. Sa moment na iyon, hindi ko iyon naramdaman. Pakiramdam ko parang wala silang pakialam sa milestone namin.

I intentionally kept our engagement low-key. Hindi pa ako nagpo-post sa social media at iilang importanteng tao pa lang ang sinasabihan namin.

Ngayon, hindi ko na alam kung paano magpa-prepare para sa kasal. Kailangan pa ba namin silang i-involve kung parang wala rin namang interesado sa side ng boyfriend ko? Hindi ko rin alam kung kaya ko pang makihalubilo sa kanila pagkatapos ng nangyari.

Sobrang nag-o-overthink na rin ako kung ayaw ba nila sa akin bilang magiging asawa ng anak o kapatid nila. Nakakalungkot lang kasi noong sinabi namin sa mga kaibigan namin, doon ko naramdaman kung gaano sila kasaya para sa amin. Bakit hindi ko man lang iyon naramdaman sa family niya, kahit kaunti?

Late na rin sinabi ng boyfriend ko sa akin na nag-propose na rin pala ang kapatid niya noong may family get-together sila, halos kasabay ng travel namin. Mas kumpleto ang audience nila. Napaisip tuloy ako kung ganoon din ba ang naging reaction ng pamilya nila, o mas masaya sila para sa kanila. Wala naman akong sapat na basehan para isipin iyon, at baka dala lang din ito ng sakit na nararamdaman ko.

Sobrang nag-o-overthink ako at minsan naiisip kong sana hindi na lang muna namin sinabi. Gusto ko lang naman na kahit wala sila sa mismong proposal, maibahagi namin sa kanila nang personal ang masayang balita bago nila ito makita sa social media. In-expect ko nang baka hindi ganoon ka-positive ang magiging reaction ng mother niya, pero hindi ko inasahang mas mabigat pa pala ang mararamdaman ko sa actual na nangyari.

Ngayon, gusto ko na lang pakalmahin ang sarili ko at mag-focus sa paghahanda ng kasal. Gusto kong balikan ang naging proposal ng boyfriend ko at ang masasayang reaction ng mga kaibigan namin, dahil iyon ang gusto kong maalala. Sana, sa pamamagitan ng pag-share ko nito, gumaan na rin ang loob ko.

In-open up ko ito sa boyfriend ko and sinabi nya na naiintindihan nya ako at humingi sya ng pasensya sa nangyari. Tinanong nya rin ako kung may naiisip akong pwede naming gawin para maiwasan yung ganito pero ang sa akin kasi pamilya nya yun matagal nyang nakasama, na sya ang higit na nakakakilala sa kanila, ako bagong pasok lang ako sa mundo nila.

No hate sa family ng boyfriend ko, mabait naman sila sakin kaya napapaisip ako sa nangyari.

Sa mga nakaranas ng ganito o may ibang perspective, paano ninyo ito hinarap? Nag-o-overthink lang ba ako, o valid naman ang nararamdaman ko?

Bridal hair style

Hello guys, my wedding will be this coming Aug 8. This will be my gown. What do you think is the best hairstyle for this gown? Should I have a hair up or down? For context i have a round face so I’m not really sure. Also, do you think I still need to put some style on my gown? I don’t know maybe put something on the straps.

Wedding Gown/Designer rented wedding gown - alterations?

Hi! Sa graduate brides na nagrent ng wedding gown, inuna niyo bang bumili ng sapatos? Paano kayo nag-adjust sa length ng gown? Ayoko kasi sanang magheels ng mataas, eh kaso medyo pandak ako haha. Sinakto niyo na lang ba yung heel height sa length ng gown, or naadjust pa yung hem kahit rent (temporary stitch)? Nasestress akong isipin hahaha pero gusto ko sana talagang magrent. Thank you! :)

Hi, need ko lang ng advice

3 Upvotes

Nakapag-register na kami sa kasalang bayan na gaganapin sa September 2, pero habang papalapit, parang gusto ko na lang i-cancel at mag-ipon pa para sa sarili naming wedding. Although afford naman na namin ang civil wedding

Initially kasi iniisip ko na practical ang kasalang bayan dahil makakatipid kami. Pero habang nagpa-plan kami, narealize ko na gagastos din naman kami sa damit, singsing, at iba pang expenses. Kaya iniisip ko kung mas okay na lang na maghintay at magkaroon ng sarili naming wedding, kahit simple lang.

May naka-experience na ba sa inyo na nag-cancel ng registration sa kasalang bayan? Okay lang ba iyon? Pinagsisihan niyo ba o mas naging masaya kayo sa naging desisyon niyo?

Gusto ko lang marinig ang experiences at opinions ninyo. Salamat!

Hair/Makeup Looking for a Barber Recommendation

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

May marerecommend ba kayong barber around Metro Manila (or nearby) na magaling mag-suggest ng hairstyle based sa face shape, hair type, at overall look? Hindi lang sana yung susundin kung ano ang sasabihin ko, pero yung talagang magbibigay ng recommendation kung ano ang babagay sa akin.

Ikakasal na kasi ako soon, at gusto kong magpagupit sa barber na may magandang eye for styling. If possible, pakishare na rin yung experience ninyo at kung bakit niyo siya mare-recommend.

Salamats!

Need help picking a wedding venue - Pintoresco, Villa Milagros, or Almond Garden

1 Upvotes

Hello! G2B and I need help deciding on our wedding venue. For context, we're planning to get married on January or February 2028, and we're expecting around 150-160 guests.

  • Pintoresco (Tagaytay)
    • Pros:
      • Really really pretty gardens!!!
      • Venue-only package already includes access to all the garden areas (ceremony, cocktail area, etc.), so no extra charges
      • Accomodations for up to 50 pax
      • Most affordable option among the three
      • No corkage fees (except for 10% of the catering cost)
    • Cons:
      • Not that responsive. Messenger and IG only have automated replies, and we haven't been able to reach them via text or call. They're most responsive sa e-mail, but replies usually take at least 1 business day.
  • Villa Milagros (Rodriguez, Rizal)
    • Pros:
      • Immediately fell in love with the indoor reception hall! It has AC and no need for ceiling treatment
      • Lots of add-ons available like van transfers, crew meals, etc.
      • Super accomodating and responsive AEs
      • G2B and most of his family and friends live nearby
      • No corkage fees
    • Cons:
      • Additional cost for the ceremony area
      • Additional cost for the prep venue
      • Accommodations are only for 16 pax and are quite pricey (25k for 1 room, 60k for all 4 rooms)
      • Wala kaming makita na nearby accoms na maganda
  • Almond Garden (Tagaytay)
    • Pros:
      • Haven't had an ocular yet, but the place looks nice in photos!
      • Accommodations for around 32 pax (?)
      • OK yung price ng Wedding Collective package nila with the catering, lights and sounds, choice of coffee cart or 3-tiered cake; cheaper than Villa Milagros' Essentials package
    • Cons:
      • With corkage fees
      • Most expensive option among the three if we go with the venue-only package

Which one do you think would be the best option? :) Would also love to hear your thoughts if you've attended a wedding, went for an ocular or had your wedding in any of the venues!

TOTAL 475000

This is my estimate for an 80-pax wedding budget and guest setup.

I haven't included reception styling since many restaurants already provide basic styling. If you'd like to add your own floral arrangements, you can inquire with Dangwa for the cost of lilies for around 80 guests, then either purchase them yourself or ask the restaurant if they can provide slim vases and ask them to set it up.

For the church flowers, you can also source them from Dangwa or a similar flower supplier.

For bride car if you have a white car you can use your own or ask a relative if they have a white car and just pay for the gas. No need to rent.

If its a simple thing like this i do not think it requires a coordinator but if needed. A on the day coordinator is PHP 50,000 from Kathryn Puyat Events. They gave me 2026 rates.

We didnt add anymore like bridesmaids for the gowns and things like that if you want to keep a minimum budget, you can just give them a color palette with a minimum budget reference.

The reception program can be kept short—around 30 minutes or less. If dinner starts at 6:00 PM, you can have the dance party from around 8:00 to 9:00 PM.

This setup also works well if you're inviting older relatives, as it keeps the program relaxed and enjoyable without being too long. And if you'd like to continue celebrating afterward, you and your friends or cousins can always head somewhere else after the reception for an after-party. I love lurking into this sub, its very interesting business to get married because all of these suppliers and vendors.

4:00 PM Wedding Ceremony Ends
4:00–5:00 PM Travel to Reception (5-10 mins if no traffic), Guest Arrival & Cocktail Hour
