Wedding Things We Spent On: Catering
Wedding Things We Spent On | INGRID NIETO Vlogs
After making a list of our essentials and nice-to-haves, it was easier for us to assess which ones we’d allot more money for in our budget. When you’re planning your wedding, it’s important to remember that:
1) advice from experienced wedding professionals is valuable but be discerning as well. There are some that I have worked with who put the welfare of their clients and fellow suppliers above all, and then there are those who have a different agenda.
2) seeking inspiration is good but ultimately, it’s still YOUR WEDDING, so your rules and preferences will take precedence. Don’t allow popular trends and peer/family pressure to dictate how you’re supposed to wed.
Hope this video helps you out. By the way, I didn’t discuss wedding coordination just yet. That’s coming up in another video.
The Day Before We Said “I Do”
After months of planning, meetings with suppliers and spreadsheet encoding, everything just seemed to fast forward to our wedding day. We had a quick wedding rehearsal with Pastor Larry (our officiating minister), our coordinator Ate Rose, my maid of honor Jirah and Maow, the best man. Honestly, I never gave the wedding ceremony choreography much thought. Iniisip ko lang–automatic na yan. I’ll do my slow bridal march towards Dave and Papa hands me over to him. There was more to it. Pastor Larry and his wife, Tita Joy coached us on the bridal march–where to look, how to carry ourselves. It’s so different from the Powers walk I learned in JRP!
Upon reaching the altar with my parents, I’d have to kiss them goodbye, Dave would have to pay his respects with a mano or a handshake and then my father formally turns me over to him. I swear, when Pastor Larry was describing that to me, I couldn’t help but tear up. I’d be the first daughter my Papa would give away in marriage. After the rehearsals, Dave and I agreed that we won’t be exchanging sweet, emotional messages nor see each other until the wedding day itself.
I cried before sleeping because I kept thinking about God’s faithfulness and how He still writes love stories. From #HappySingle to a #HappyBride. Thank you everyone for journeying with me.
#WeddingVlog08 Bridal Hair and Make-up Trial | INGRID NIETO Vlogs
Scheduling a hair and make-up trial with your glam team before your wedding day is necessary. Your make-up artist needs to be familiar with your face shape and features so it will be easier for him/her to come up with a look that gives you that fresh, bridal glow, highlighting your best features. If you browse through Pinterest and wedding websites, you may notice that bridal make-up is usually clean, defined and romantic. There are some brides of course, who may want an edgier look and that is something your wedding day glam team should discuss. Before your scheduled trial session, it would help if you bring some make-up pegs with you. Pinterest away! Screenshot or download photos of looks that you like and show them to your make-up artist and hair stylist. He/she would be able to tell you if it’s something that will work for your features or she’ll tweak it to suit you well. It would help to bring a sketch or photo of your gown, so your hairstylist can work with the design. You have to make sure that these elements blend together, so the overall look is harmonious.
My make-up artist Yang is a good friend and churchmate at Greenhills Christian Fellowship. She is an internationally-accredited make-up artist who also teaches dance. She’s married to Migs, our worship pastor, and mommy to Dia.
Aiky is a multi-talented wedding professional who can do hair & make-up, as well as design gowns, suits and costumes. He regularly uploads make-up tutorials on his Instagram account.

Hosting for Jed and Halee at the UP Bahay ng Alumni
It’s always good to witness a friend’s milestones specially when you hear their stories of waiting, hoping and finally finding someone that makes their heart complete. Halee and I have served in the GCF Youth Ministry for a few years and we also get to lead worship together from time to time. In the recent year, we saw how her relationship with her boyfriend Jed progressed to their being engaged. It was wonderful. We were so happy for Halee.
After about a year of planning, they finally tied the knot and got me to host their special day. Here’s the vlog of their wedding reception held at the UP Bahay ng Alumni.
A DREAMY TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS WEDDING
Another one of those “driving all by myself” adventures. I’ve been to Tagaytay Highlands several times but never got to drive on my own to the Midlands–so this is a first! It was scary going up because it’s mostly uphill and I was getting paranoid that my car would break down or something. Eep! Thank God it didn’t.

[WATCH] MICHAEL AND RONICA’S WEDDING AT CLEAR WATER REST HOUSE, TAGAYTAY
I love midday weddings, specially when they’re held at cool, open spaces that are close to nature. There’s something so charming about Clear Water Rest House–the green open lawn, the quaint cottage where preps can be done and the spacious patio that provides an excellent view of the Taal Volcano.
After the morning ceremony at Caleruega Chapel, guests arrived a little before lunch and entertained themselves to the brim by taking photos at the patio, posing for snaps at the photo booth and enjoying the candy bar. The weather cooperated so well. It didn’t rain and the sun gleamed with just the right intensity. Got to work with Jeo and Agnes Odulio again of Empire Weddings. More on the vlog below

[WATCH] A GATSBY-THEMED BIRTHDAY BASH
The Grand Ballroom of City of Dreams Manila was transformed into the sparkling glory of the 1920s by Kathy Sy King and her team from Events Styles.
A GAME-FREE WEDDING CAN BE JUST AS ENTERTAINING!
A game-free wedding reception program doesn’t mean you skip out on the fun! Cris and Roanne made sure their guests were entertained with great music from G7 band and Filipino cultural dances from the Salinlahi Dance Troupe. In addition to the sumptuous dinner, guests were treated to the different food carts/booths like Bono Gelato, Mixed Mobile Bar, Figaro Coffee, Krispy Kreme and Mr. Franks.
