Project CKGA, My Wedding Preps Journey. Ep 1

We got engaged February of 2017 pa and now it’s just 3 months away 'til our big day!  I don’t want to keep saying na stressed ako, I think bridechilla pa nga ako e. Nag emotional breakdown ba ko? Maybe, tapos ni-repress ko na lang sa memory ko lol. So, what do I want to talk about sa post na ‘to? Nothing in particular; may pag episode 1 pa kong nalalaman, pusta ko, 1 and only post lang to about our wedding preps.
Active member na ko sa Girltalk prior to getting engaged. Pero di ko rin naman pinupuntahan mga Wedding and Engagement threads; only during the time na tinulungan ko friend ko who got married last 2013. Anyway, super hands on ako since wala naman kami wedding planner. Right now, almost all of our suppliers our booked. Isa siguro sa major pa na need ko na asikasuhin is yung entourage’s dress, and of course the wedding documents which is ongoing na naman.
Wala talaga ako maisip na i-post. Etong mga Instax na lang ng OOTD nung engagement shoot namin and a brief review of that experience.

Engagement Shoot

theme: arte arte lang sa pader
outfit: pambahay, pang mall, pang office party

We had our engagement shoot last Monday September 17th. Super fun but super kapagod too!

Venue – Domicillo Design Hotel
Photographer – Jhen & Eko
Videographer – Norman Montealegre (packaged with Jhen & Eko)
HMUA – Joy Vegas
Driver slash assistant – my dear Maid of Honor, Vixen Vegas

pinush ko mag contact lenses para dagdag ganda, masaya ako sa output ng makeup kahit gustong i-push ni hmua na mas makapal na falsies at mas matingkad na lippie

It’s pretty obvious how inlove ako sa mga nice interior especially pag may pagka modern and industrial design. So nung nag search ako, yung style ang isa sa main criteria ko. Other contenders are:

• Industriya Marikina
• Artesania (formerly Mozaic Living)
• B Hotel Quezon City
• Habitual Coffee Makati
• FJ Sionson Studio

Then I found Domicillo Design Hotel in Tagaytay. Kahit hindi naman bago sakin yung Tagaytay, I’m still surprised nung nalaman ko where this hotel is located. So mga ilang years ko na sya nadadaanan, pero di ko alam of its existence.

As an engagement shoot venue, I’d rate it siguro as 4/5. I hope nakuhanan nila p/v yung hotel so I can post some of them once I get a copy of our shoot.  The hotel as a prenup shoot venue is sapat na. We made use of our room of course plus the garden with the lake view – ugh ang ganda, the hallway, lobby, view deck, lounge, mini garden, and a little bit of the Starbucks which recently opened.

Helpful naman yung marketing rep na nag assist sakin, kaso medyo nagulo lang sa usapan sa time na pwede mag shoot.  

yeheess, natural lang, lingon ka sakin sir

"magm-mall lang look"

As a place to have staycation 3.5/5 lang siguro. The room could use a more thorough cleaning. So-so lang rin yung set breakfast na sinerve, medyo matigas pa yung fried rice; the coffee was good though. I love the king sized bed and the comfy pillows. Super spacious yung room pwede magsayaw sa magkabilang side ng bed. But nawala yung “exclusive feel”  - which they boast on their website dahil nga may Starbucks na.

 finished! staycation time

 this mini garden!

morning view!
