Wedding Monogram : Logoswithlove

A recently engaged couple may ask... "Do we really need a wedding monogram?" I guess it would really depend on the couple. If they want a uniting logo, that will tie together all the aspects of a wedding, then YES, you may have one.

"A wedding monogram is a visual symbol of the union of two people becoming one. It is a great way to illustrate the union of two families and can be inexpensive, yet sophisticated way to visually tie together all the aspects of a wedding. A monogram is uniques to the couple and will leave a lasting impression to their guests...."

I tried to DIY our wedding monogram since early this year, but I miserably failed. Hahaha! Attempting to do it without proper tools and technical know-how is just crazy!

So I searched w@w for possible wedding monogram makers, I emailed logoswithlove and fozzy replied promptly. She changed its name to thefozzybook, which is a combination of monogram making and calligraphy for the envelopes. How to order a logo from her? Click here.

One of the monogram she made for us, which is part of the first draft. The final monogram, is a surprise. :) We love it so much! Can't wait to use it on our wedding details. :)

Singapore Engagement Shoot by J&J Arquiza

Bridal Car : Checked!

We booked our bridal car almost two months ago, but I only got the chance to blog about it now.

Side kwento : We initially wanted mini-cooper or beetle for our bridal car. But because I'm tall and long-legged, plus my gown has an elaborate skirt, I had to let go because it will be very hard for me to come in and out of a small car. We even met with mini cooper suppliers already last February 2011, to see if I can comfortable fit in. But sadly, only two-door mini-cooper is available. Could have been nice. :)

Fast forward to March 2011, still thinking if we can go with the mini-cooper na lang and just be extra careful with the skirt of my gown because we are running out of time... Till one day, an idea came to Mr. J's mind of having Honda Civic Type R, as our bridal car. To our advantage, both our older brothers are members of Honda Club Philippines, so it's much easier to find. Fortunately, Mr. J's brother found a white car, that we can borrow for our wedding day. We just need to bear the gasoline expenses. How lucky can we get?! Happiness!

Wedding Rings : Love & Co

We purchased our wedding rings three weeks ago from Love & Co. The same store where Mr. J bought the engagement ring. See the story of "the proposal" here. :)

Sis Jhed from w@w advised me to buy our wedding rings earlier because it will take 2-3 months to manufacture customized rings. We took advantage of the long holidays in Singapore and started looking for prospective rings, during our break.

We started at Love & Co orchard branch, and there it was. After browsing thru a number of rings, we finally found it! Pictures to follow. Or maybe not, will just make it a surprise. hehe! We love it even though we went over the budget!!! :)
