Preport

12.20.2009

Ocular visit to Splendido with our coordinator Honey Malamug. Love what they did with their Christmas decors this year. I'm glad we switched to winter wonderland inspired centerpieces because I think it'll go well with the decorations of the golfers' lounge:

Here's the first thing that caught my eye when we entered the lounge:

a "Caleruega" cake.

Honey thought it was for a birthday party. My guess is even more specific. I thought it was a for a birthday party of a priest. We're both wrong. It turned out they were dressing up the place for an afternoon wedding yesterday. No pun intended to the celebrants but it's just not my kind of cake.

This..this is my kind of cake...Mary Anne of Topcakes sent this lay-out to me this afternoon. I'll request for minor changes (bigger topper if possible..darker shade of red..etc) but we're pretty much sold with that design.

Headed out to Alabang Town Center and SM Southmall for shopping! Our wedding could have been a good excuse for us not to give gifts this Christmas but a lot of relatives came home to spend their holiday here we thought it'll be nice to give something back :)

Gown pick-up is tomorrow! I have a feeling that this dress will single-handedly give me all the holiday cheer that i need. I hope the tons of things I have to accomplish before the Big day will keep me from trying the dress on for the 3rd time. My mom is so against the fitting she'll probably find a way to keep the dress away from me until big day..

I found a way too to use the leftover ribbons of our kissing bells. Tadaaa...I used it as gift bag ribbons:

Our secondary sponsors' arrival from Australia prompted me to finish my bridesmaids' headpieces in one sitting. Indeed, I work best under pressure. Working with feathers, tule and bird cage veils here are the variations I came up with:

Those black headpieces made me want to wear black veils too. But I reckoned it'll be a tad too deviant for a church wedding. My taste might be unusual but I still want to make sure that the priest will let me walk down the aisle..
