Top 10 wedding trends for 2010
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
at
9:37 PM
For those who will tie the knot in 2010 and most especially to our 2010 brides, here are some tips on what will be "IN" come your big day!
--
Post from http://www.getmarried.com/articles
1. Back to Basics
Events will focus on the attention to the details, the foundation of the event, not the drama or grandeur of the evening. Consider spending more on the lasting memories than the showmanship of the event. Spend a bit more than the average budget allotment on photography mediums rather than abundant floral. Or consider a bit of a longer stay on your honeymoon and a little less of a party at the reception and you’ll be grateful for your decision in the end.
2. Home Weddings Hit Home
Intimate and personal affairs in the backyard are bigger than ever. Going home incorporates the continued trend of personalizing the wedding day experience.
Smaller size guest lists, more intimate settings, grass roots weddings, elegant and detail driven, but in no way small on what counts.
3. Buttercream on the Big Day
Fondant is falling behind, buttercream corners the market.
Tools and techniques now allow for buttercream to look as smooth as fondant when applied by a skilled artist. You have the option of better flavor, more natural ingredients, and less costly cakes that no longer suffer or lack in design.
4. Favor Comeback
Personalized appreciation is back. The effect that an event has on the guests is more noticeable than ever before so the importance of a favor is felt more than ever. Be sure to appreciate to those in attendance - it’s not just an afterthought, omission, or generic item. Think local artisans, locally grown products, personal mementos, and on-the-spot print outs.
5. Nearby Destinations
Nearby destination weddings are taking flight over the exotic and far off locales. The ever popular destination wedding will remain but guests will get out of town by car (within driving distance) so couples can create a weekend, guests get an escape, but no one breaks the bank. Enjoying the destination locations, spend within your own local economies, create a greener effect, experience undiscovered backyards, and stay sensible about cost while you’re at away.
6. Colors
Monochromatic palettes - this doesn’t mean muted colors, just single color bunches. Vibrant Colors: Orange, green, yellow, and pink. Metal Colors: Gold, silver, copper, and pewter. And black is definitely the new black. Break the rules and show off the darker side of your event.
7. Greener Conscience
Immerging will be the newest phase of eco-conscience: A better understanding of the gray shades of green. You will see more emphasis on the smaller changes that are less recognizable to the guest (i.e. cleaning green, composting, solar and LED lighting, no more oasis in floral arrangements, less catering waste). It’s no longer about making the event appear “organic” – it’s about understanding how things are made, disposed of, and where/when events take place. Learning to make better choices that are unseen by the guest are just as important as those tree-free invitations everyone is talking about.
8. Video Integration into Events
We’ve all seen the photo montages of your childhoods during dinner but the next phase in video at your event comes in several different forms. Video DJ’s are immerging, allowing your dance party to dance to the visuals of the music videos; ceremonies are being broadcast on screens for better viewing from the back; and time lapse photography is being shot and integrated into video for current day montages of you and your fiancé. Love to party? Set up crane camera and project the event as it unfolds on screens around the dance floor (budget permitting of course).
9. HD Video
Videographers have already gone hi-def. But next year all or most will make such a transition, making HD and even Blu Ray the norm in wedding videography. Upgrade now and appreciate the quality later. This also means smaller cameras on site and less intrusion into your event, all around a better (though more costly) option on the big day.
10. Visual Combinations
Professional grade still photo cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II DSLR are being released with HD video capabilities included. It is recommended to have both a videographer and a photographer at your wedding to capture every moment of the big day. Tech-savvy brides looking for a new experience, may like to experiment with a visual professional (videographer or photographer) who has this technology.

Picking the Perfect Wedding Date!
Friday, August 14, 2009
at
4:13 PM
Immediately after getting engaged, the wedding date is the first and foremost thing that a couple thinks of. Though you might think that this is an easy decision, you're perfectly wrong! Imagine choosing one perfect day from the 365 days we have in a year! So, to help our couples out there, here are some of the guidelines which may help you wisely decide your perfect wedding day:
1. Consider the Seasons of Potential Wedding Dates
Perhaps the first thing to consider is what season you want to get married in. Do you want the warmth of summer or the cold December-breeze wedding?
2. Which Day of the Week?
Though to us Filipinos, we usually have the weddings on a weekend for the sake of the guests (typically, all of the guests would not be amenable to a weekday event due to their work responsibilities), some couples nowadays dare to celebrate their wedding on a weekday. If most of your wedding guests are in town and not traveling, you might also consider having a weekday wedding, when there will be discounts and more availability of premium locations and vendors.
3. Marking Special Occasions with Your Wedding Date
Many couples love the idea of getting married on Valentine’s Day (February 14th), or The Christmas day. You could get married on the anniversary of the day you met, or honor your parents or grandparents by choosing their wedding date.
4. How Long Should Your Engagement Be?
I think that a year is a good amount of time to plan a wedding, while not stressing out. Other people think that spending an entire year is unnecessary and torturous. It’s certainly possible to have a very short engagement or one that spans several years.
5. Prioritize Your Different Desires
You may have to make some hard choices. If one of you really wants to get married on your anniversary, but it falls on a Friday, and the other really wants a Saturday evening wedding, you’re going to need to find a compromise. Each of you should rank what is most important to you. Perhaps there's something else that one of you wants (say a favorite wedding band, or to avoid the receiving line) that you can trade for your choice of wedding date.
6.Consult Key Participants
If your sister will be in the midst of college finals, or your parents will be in Aruba, that’s not a good wedding date. Don’t worry about too many people, only those who absolutely must be there.
7. Consult Your Favorite Wedding Locations and Vendors
If you really want your wedding ceremony at your church, or the reception at your town's most beautiful hall, you’ll want to make sure they’re available before you start sending out Save the Dates. Most people won’t change their wedding date just because their favorite photographer isn’t available, but if that’s important to you, you’ll want to book him or her first before finalizing your wedding date. Not having the very best location or vendor won’t mean disaster, but their availability is at least something to consider.

Nuestra Senora de Gracia (NSDG) Church -- Makati City
at
3:52 PM
I happen to visit a website that features the NSDG church. I am fond of churches that somehow preserved its antique-ness because I would like to believe that there have been so many stories inside of it.
For couples who are still in search of their church, you may pay NSDG a visit and enjoy its spectacular view:
7440 Bernardino Street, Guadalupe Viejo, Makati City
896-8444, 895-9141
here's the link from visitpinas.com: http://visitpinas.com/nuestra-senora-de-gracia-church-makati-city/
