Amidst the wedding season amongst my age, and with all the frenzy that came with it, I've decided to make a way such that the budget will only be 100k! Haha This is because we need our money more for our house and lot. If I were able to do it, my boyfriend would let me handle our money matters in the future haha
But I would like to clarify the following:
1. This is for a civil wedding and reception
2. Scheduled on a weekday (so less number of guests), probably in Antipolo (I originally wanted destination wedding to further lessen the number of guests, but it's probably an inconvenience to our family if we do that haha)
3. I will mostly be hands-on and DIY, so no coordinators for me (and now apparently, my boyfriend also likes doing crafts? Though I have yet to see his skills. Maybe I should just say he enjoys watching those crafts and hacks on YouTube.)
4. No non-essentials for us
We just want a simple ceremony and good food. We don't want the photo booth, event stylists, event coordinator (do we still need that if we only have a civil wedding?).
5. Ask help from family and friends
I'm going to ask my climb friends to be our official photographers instead.
I'm also going to ask help from my OC college friends in styling, invitations, and souvenirs. (In exchange, I can be their wedding planner if my budget wedding really does work!)
For sounds, well, I will just leave that part to my future husband because I don't really have a preference.
I will also need a make up artist, because I need something that will last me the whole night, but I will probably just go to the salon, right? I don't need touch-ups since the ceremony is immediately followed by the reception anyway. Maybe I could just do airbrush in a salon somewhere. Will that be cheaper? Or when I searched OLX and inquired, she does home service for 2,500 for airbrush. Discounts may apply if we are more (with my siblings, yep, probably).
For the dress, that part I haven't decided if I'm going to Divisoria or just buy RTW. I'm not that picky, but I wouldn't want the dress to be that formal that I can only wear it once.
Here's a hint for those newly scouting for suppliers: Rate everything!
My boyfriend and I have decided to rate everything from 1 to 3, with 3 as Excellent, 2 as so-so, and 1 as No. With all the food tasting that you'll probably encounter, it's going to be difficult to remember. From the list in the menu, at least you'll see which ones you've liked This is also the same for the venues. And I presume with all the other suppliers.
Update:
Since we've more or less settled on a Tuesday night, and our reception would be somewhere in Manila, we think our guest list might reach 150 pax instead of 100. Hence, I need to increase our budget to 150k. Sounds reasonable to me haha
