Wedding of the Century – A bridal fair to remember

Planning your wedding? You better check out these amazing wedding suppliers to ease your journey before you tie the knot.

I was one of the invited media on the event held at Century City Mall last Sunday, July 1. We were welcomed with a garden wedding feel like ambiance of the Wedding of the Century, a Bridal fair exhibit featuring the top names and brands in the wedding industry.

Your wedding is just the beginning of a new phase called “marriage.” So before you stress yourself out, check out this list of the things you need to prepare.

The DIY Wedding Planner 😚

1) Gowns and suits

Warm smiles greeted us and the astonishing creation of gowns and suits by Edwin F. Uy. We were supposed to watch the wedding fashion show, showcasing the works of  Edwin Uy, Dave Ocampo and Chynna Mamawal, but they have no show on that Sunday.

I stand in awe of admiration!

2) Wedding Venue & the lights and sounds

Of course, one of the main ingredient of a beautifully planned wedding is the venue. You don’t want to stress yourself further with “venues”that may not actually serve the serenity of the wedding event.

You may check out City Garden Grand Hotel in Makati and check their weding packages ( Essential, Grand Wedding, Grand Ceremony and All Occasion Packages), or try to check Ibarra’s Garden and Restaurant.

Still wanted to plan your wedding day by yourself? You may DIY all of the above necessities for your wedding preparation or forget all the stress and leave it to the experts?
