2nd Bridal Fair
We've finally joined our 2nd Bridal Fair (09.13.14)!.. and this time, with our maid-of-honor, Apple Maturgo, and bridesmaids, Rochelle Domingo, Zyna Gonzales and Jade Carreon.
We've arrived SMX at around 2PM. It was so exciting seeing lotssss of stuff for weddings. Seeing those makes you want to get everything for your special day! As usual, there were everything you need for a wedding event, except the church, of course.
We've been able to scrutinize each and every booth, though so less time we got. And the most amazing part is we get to have free taste of everything!!! Busog busog!
My main goal for the bridal fair is to get a supplier for our photoman and invitations. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to book invitation vendor because there were a lot of people by the invitation section. It was beside the entrance of the whole fair. I suggest they make the pathway larger in that section so that people could pass through lightly. Anyway, good thing is, I got my photoman! ;) I got Fantasy Kiosk for they gave me a great deal. Last June's bridal fair, I was able to ask for Photoman.ph's rates. They gave me P7,600 for 2+1hours of their photoman. But Fantasy Kiosk gave me 3+1hours for only P6,000. Nice huh?
They we're also very accommodating and friendly. They even let us try their Photobooth! :)
Next, we were able to try different Hair and Make-up vendors, however, nothing really stood out among all of them. It was fun, though. I was even captured by Jessica Soho's videographer. Haha..
(I let Apple and Rochelle had the chance to have their make-up, just for fun!)
I was not expecting that I will get my Photographer/Videographer in this bridal fair but Santiago Alfonso Fotografia gave me a deal that I couldn't resist. Their booth was the only one that captured me as they give it a natural, simple, bright and cozy look. I asked for their rates, and they have a good package worth P49,999 with the following inclusions:

Who would say no to this? Plus, I really like their style in capturing photos and videos.. not much editing and very natural. Also, their staff are very very nice and funny! I guess they are really easy to work with.
We've booked Santiago Alfonso Fotografia at the very last minute of the event. The fair is until 8PM.. and we we're still signing the contract at that time. Haha.. The moment we leave the hall, the people that was left we're the ones cleaning it, other booths are already closed. :))
Can't wait for the wedding expo on November! I have to get my invitation vendor on that! ;)
