This is the ONE!!!

Mt. Carmel is not only a beautiful church to get married in, with its long aisle for every bride to savor and remember the most important walk of their lives - the church also employs gracious and accomodating church coordinators who are very easy to work with. It was established in 1923 by the Carmelite faithful.

Beside being the only 5 star resort hotel in the area near Mount Carmel, Edsa Shangri-la was chosen by the groom and bride for their elegant set-up, excellent service, and scrumptuous food!

After so many magazines bought... so many bridal fairs attended... so many emails read from fellow brides...so many canvassing... researches... daydreaming... etc... FINALLY i have decided. But let me share with everyone first my TOP 4 on the list of wedding gown designers. They are the 4 who fits my style.
1) Rajo Laurel - I love his work!!! All his style is exactly what i want. So i showed him my design... VERDICT- 220K.... Hmmnnnn... Pricey! Let me check some more
2) Edward Teng - i also admire his works... very stylish yet affordable. His style is also my kind of style so i went there the other day, May 25, and showed him my design. VERDICT- 65K.... hmmmnnn... Ok sa budget... but i'm still not satisfied... i'll just go back tomorrow when i have thought it overnight.
3) Cecilio Abad - This guy is very popular with the W@Wie brides, and he is a consistent Top 1 supplier of the Year. So I checked on his website.... and I fell in love with his works.... His style is definitely my kind of style. So...I made an appointment with him today... May 26. He is very cordial! When I told him my wedding gown design... he made me a sketch. He was very excited to see my design coz it will be his first time to do such. When he finished talking and drawing..... he estimated...VERDICT – 90K... hmmnnn... pricey than Edward Teng, but definitely better!!!! So without further ado... i paid my downpayment already. Hahahaha. I am so happy. He got exactly what i wanted... my DREAM WEDDING DRESS. Unfortunately, he did not accept my entourage. Coz he only wants to concentrate on my bridal gown. Grabe... he is that dedicated to his wedding gowns!!! Hahaha.
4) Puey Quinones – I so love his works... so unique, not the ordinary gowns. Unfortunately... i wasn’t able to visit him anymore.
And the winner is..... CECILIO ABAD!

Our Florist for the Ceremony who will fill Mount Carmel with red flowers eventhough flowers are very expensive at this time.... and will also provide the flowers for the entourage.... Very popular also with the W@W community.... Thanks to Mang Boy and Mang Jon!

Our lights and sounds.... a great find from W@W!!! Mood lighting.... jazz music...

A release of beautiful butterflies during the bridal walk and first dance of the couple provide a unique and touching moment that will be remembered forever...

"According to a popular legend, if anyone desires a wish to come true, they must first capture a butterfly and whisper the wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the great spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the great spirits always grants the wish. By making a wish ang giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heaven and granted."
