Dear Online Diary,
H2b and I were at the PICC Forum yesterday to attend the Wedding Expo Philippines bridal fair by Themes & Motifs. It is one of the bridal fairs that we’ve enjoyed. Why? Read on.
As part of the promotional efforts of Themes & Motifs, they conducted a contest for couples whose love story started or continued on Friendster. My entry was chosen as one of the 15 love stories and so, we were part of the ribbon cutting/opening ceremony yesterday, September 5, 2009. Here are some pictures taken during the opening ceremony:

Moving on to the bridal fair, the suppliers line up is impressive. We saw Jason Magbanua's booth, one of the country's leading videographers. John Mateos Ong, one of the country's most in-demand photographers, and his wife are personally there to meet and greet their potential clients. Josiah’s catering has 4-5 booths, as far as I could remember, for food tasting on site. The sample drinks of mobile bars at the fair are not bad even for those who do not want alcoholic drinks. There are 2-3 bridal magazine publishers such as Martha Stewart and Wedding Essentials. There are a couple of HMUAs who offered trial make-up. As a matter of fact, I got one done by Ms. Victoria Gonzalez (click here for the story).
What we enjoyed the most are the photo booth suppliers. We tried a handful. Our favorite is the new concept by Blow-up Babies. They can bring their studio set-up right at the wedding venue. The set-up can be based on the wedding theme or to the couple’s preference. They can also hold a pre-nuptial shoot at their studio. Take a look at their cool concept:
{We're actually standing here. They set the "bed" right to the wall to appear like we are lying down. cool =)}
We are impressed with their original concept so we are considering to take our engagement shoot with them. I have this concept in mind, to which H2b agreed. We talked to Yan-yan, one of their photographers and luckily, they can work around our theme. Personally, I can’t wait to work with them! =)
If not for the bad weather, we would still go to the fair today. It’s a bummer because we’d like to book two of the suppliers at the fair. Oh well, may be next time. To other B2Bs out there who would like to personally check these amazing suppliers, the fair is still open up until 8:00 pm today. Happy preps! =)
X.O.X.O.,
