00:00Welcome to the second part of our episode of Straight from the Expert.
00:26We are still here with Ms. Abby Baza.
00:30And in our last part, medyo natap na natin yung tungkol sa different types of weddings, coordinators, budget.
00:39And now, gusto ko naman malaman, matutunan ang process kung paano natin mahanap ang perfect reception venue.
00:49We need to consider the space and the guest capacity of the venue.
00:59Lahat ng gusto natin mangyari sa reception, kaya ba dun ng space?
01:02Mga kapag-coctails ba?
01:04Of course, the aesthetics.
01:06Maraming photoshoots na magaganap.
01:09Dapat maganda pa rin yung space natin para picture perfect pa rin siya in every angle.
01:13The good thing about having your wedding at a hotel is yung functionality ng space and also it's more convenient for your guests.
01:22After the party, banika na sa room mo, rest na kayo.
01:25So, it's more convenient, especially if you have a lot of guests who are flying in or from the province na magsistay also sa hotel.
01:32Very important na the locations are near to each other.
01:37Your wedding day is also an experience for your guests.
01:40Matatandaan din ng guests mo na hindi sila nahirapan sa wedding mo.
01:45Actually, merong packages, ang discovery suites na kasama na ang catering and arrangements, basic centerpieces, and accommodations.
01:55So, talagang importante rin i-factor yung convenience para rin hassle-free for you and for your guests.
02:01Itong next question ko, Miss Abby, I think ito yung isa sa magiging favorite ko na asikasuhin kapag pinlano ko na yung wedding ko, which is the food.
02:12Ito yung experience na gana tatatak sa mga guests mo.
02:16So, will you please tell us the basics of availing catering services?
02:21The photo and videos, that's for you and your husband, but the food, that's for your guests.
02:25Let's identify first kung anong type of banquet yung gagawin natin.
02:30We have buffet, we have plated service, there's also laureate or family style na pag-service ng food.
02:37Next on, we need to consider ano ba yung menu nila, ano ba yung expertise nila.
02:42Let's also consider the service of the waitstaff.
02:45Kasi apart from the food, kahit gano'ng kasarap yung food na i-serve nyo,
02:49if hindi maganda yung naging experience ng guests mo, matatapol din yung sa food.
02:54So, mas yun yung matatandaan nila.
02:56Kapunta naman po tayo sa major suppliers.
02:59And now, isa sa inaabangan talaga na asikasuhin is yung suit and yung wedding gown.
03:16How do you choose the best outfit for your wedding?
03:19And do you have alternatives for people na ayaw makipag-work with designers?
03:24Kasi halimbawa, may hand-me-downs from their parents or kung gusto nila ng budget-friendly,
03:30they go to Divisoria.
03:32Kasi ang dami nang magaganda sa Divisoria ngayon.
03:34For the brides-to-be, I'm sure meron siyang ini-envision no wedding gown for her.
03:39I would still advise kayo canvas, you try to fit.
03:43Kasi sometimes, di ka confident.
03:45So, gusto mo lang parang A-line, gano'n.
03:47Pero bagay pala sa'yo mag-serpentine kasi din, lalabas din yung figure fit.
03:51For some, gusto nila RTW na lang.
03:54So, there's a lot of options na rin for RTW nowadays.
03:57If you're working on a budget, gusto mong gawing adventure,
04:01na mahanap yung perfect gown, check out Divisoria.
04:03Wala namang kasama dun.
04:04And to check out your local designers, make sure na yung isusuot mo na gown for the wedding day.
04:12Yun talaga yung nai-envision mo.
04:14Kasi yung pictures ng gown mo on your wedding day, forever yun eh.
04:19Papakita mo pa yun sa apo mo eh.
04:20So, dapat lasting siya.
04:22Ngayon ko ba merong mga latest trends na wedding gowns
04:25para alam ng viewers natin kung ano yung mga pipiliin nila na in ngayon?
04:30I see a lot of gowns na ano na siya, multi-wear.
04:35Meaning, for the church, naka-ball gown siya.
04:39Pero pagdating sa reception, aalisin yung skirt, serpentine na siya.
04:43Tatatag na rin yung sleeves, ganyan, para marami look.
04:46And for the suits naman sa ating groom, ano yung mga latest trends?
04:50Kasi akala ko, madali lang bihisa ng mga lalaki.
04:55Yung pala ang daming iba-iba-ibang fabric ang suits.
04:58They want to wear a suit, a barong.
05:02Both naman are equally formal.
05:05Isang iko-consider natin in choosing a barong versus a suit is yung location.
05:11Pag nasa beach ka tapos naka-suit ka, parang sobrang init talaga nun.
05:16At kawawa yung guest mo.
05:18Pag mga beach weddings, mga barong, yung mas light yung fabric.
05:22For suits and barongs, you can buy.
05:25Pwede magpagawa.
05:26Pwedeng RTW, actually, when you go to the mall.
05:29Meron na dyan, masusuot na nila.
05:31Rentals is an option also.
05:33Especially for your entourage.
05:35Na, syempre, baka ayun na natin sila pag-astusin masyado.
05:39Pwede na sila mag-rent na mas makakamura na lang sila.
05:42Let's talk about the rings.
05:43Yes, o pinaka-importante.
05:45Magkano ba talaga ang mga rings?
05:47Estimate prices?
05:48Pwede mag-start yan sa 20,000.
05:50But, syempre, magdadagdag yan with the amount of gold, kung may bato ba, or wala.
05:57When you're looking for your wedding rings, is yung pinaka-accessible sa'yo.
06:01If malapit ka sa mall, tilipin mo yung jeweler doon.
06:04Pwede ka mag-fit.
06:05Tapos, you go to bridal fairs.
06:06Kasi, actually, nagbibigay talaga sila ng magandang rates.
06:09Pwede tayo umabot hanggang umpin.
06:11Pwede na tayo umabot hanggang Bulacan.
06:13Kasi, di ba, sa Bulacan, maraming alahera doon.
06:16We have doctor clients na they don't really spend on wedding rings.
06:21They barely use it.
06:22We also have couples na yung rings nila talagang ininvestan nila.
06:26Kasi, sabi nila, yun yung suot nila parate.
06:29Which, also make sense.
06:30Kahit gano kamura yung wedding ring mo.
06:33Kung ano yung nire-represent ng ring, yun yung important.
06:36For the cake naman, na-uuso ngayon na hindi totoong cake yung buong cake.
06:41So, would you advise na gano'n na lang yung gawin para mas makatipid?
06:45Or may mga nag-opt pa rin talaga for a full cake?
06:49To be able to save some.
06:50We can do that.
06:51Let's just have one edible layer.
06:54Actually, some is just a slice na edible.
06:57And then, the rest is just cake na lang siyang name.
07:00If you want to share your cake with your guests,
07:03hindi masyadong marami yung dessert na napili nyo,
07:05you can have an all-edible cake.
07:08Para experience na for your guests.
07:09Para pinartake nyo yung first meal nyo as husband and wife with the rest of your guests.
07:14Next, we need to get our photo and video teams.
07:18For some, photo and video teams, ano lang siya?
07:21Coverage on the day.
07:22For some, may kasamang prenup photo or prenup video.
07:27But they can use it as a save the date.
07:29Or they can play it during the reception program.
07:32Some photos, meron pa silang mga albums.
07:35But, of course, you can always opt it out kung hindi nyo siya kailangan.
07:39Also, a major supplier I would consider is the host or the emcee.
07:44Siya talaga yung magdadala ng wedding reception program nyo.
07:48Yun yung magpapastay sa guest nyo nyo.
07:50So, they will stay up until the end of the program kahit two hours pa kahaba yan.
07:54Another major supplier to consider is your hair and makeup artist.
07:58If meron ka talagang certain person na talagang pinafollow on IG, it's best na mag-inquire ka na agad kung ano yung mga packages nila.
08:08And if you can do trial makeup, that's also a plus.
08:11For the bridal makeup, it's not just one look.
08:15May prep look yan.
08:17After ng prep look, may ceremony look pa.
08:20May retouch pa.
08:21Consider getting another hair and makeup artist for your entourage.
08:24Para at least yung hair and makeup artist mo, nakafocus siya sa'yo.
08:28Miss Abby, one of the traditions that Filipinos pay attention to pag umaaten sila ng weddings is yung souvenirs.
08:35So, sa tingin nyo po ba, in pa rin yung figurines?
08:39Oh, may bells?
08:40Well, wala na.
08:42It's been years since last ako naka-encounter ng ganong souvenir.
08:45Gusto natin ibigay sa guest natin yung experience.
08:48It's not just taking home a small piece of souvenir.
08:52More on kung ano yung experience nila sa wedding nyo.
08:56So, yung iba, parang may candle making, go-to booth, or a photo studio.
09:02May mga leather stamping para personalize din yung mga souvenir nila.
09:05Name nung guest yung nakalagay, hindi yung name nung football.
09:08Mas matatandaan ng guest natin eh.
09:11Kasi pag nagbigay tayo ng something na they won't be able to use after, nakalimutan na nila.
09:17So, sayang naman din yung budget mo for that.
09:18Totoo.
09:28Napakarami ko talagang natutunan ngayon.
09:30May idea na ako kung paano talaga simulan.
09:32Our time with Miss Abby has officially ended.
09:36And I hope you learned a thing or two for the wedding of your dreams.
09:40Thank you so much, Miss Abby.
