Everything's been going smoothly with the preparations for our big day. Last sunday, we went to the Bridal Fair at the PICC forum to pay Lala the balance of our downpayment and to scout for cakes and invites. The cake section was near the entrance of the fair and it was so crowded! I saw claycakes' booth but we weren't able to inquire since there were a lot of couple's there.. I guess we really need to set a meeting with the owner for a quotation and possible ideas for the cake design (but I'm really aiming for this as our wedding cake). We were able to talk with Elaine Young (can't remember the name of her store though) and sample some of her cakes.. it was really yummy! But like other supplier's I've asked, she too couldn't give a quotation off hand since she needs to know the specifications of the couple.. so like claycakes, I still need to meet with her.
After sampling some cakes, we went to Interplay's booth to pay the balance of our downpayment. We saw Lala at their booth but we had to wait a couple of minutes as she was talking with another couple... Good thing about paying at the bridal fair, not only do you get discounts but you also get to participate in their raffle. Upon paying we went to the end of the venue to claim our raffle tickets and saw that the grand prize was a trip for two to Hong Kong. The chances of winning was slim since we saw that there were alot of couples joining :p
Last month, we were also able to finalize the designs for the entourage's gowns as well as mine. I had them voted on the design that they would want to wear so that they'll feel comfortable on the wedding day. I loved the designs they chose! Already sent the designs to Zandra for filing. By November, we'll be paying the downpayment and will be getting the contract so that when December comes we'll already start getting the measurements.
Today, we'll be meeting with Emie (our AE at Intercon) to finalize the contract.
countdown.. 8 months to go! :)
