Wedding Essentials

This section summarizes the things that you will need to prepare and have for your wedding. A more detailed information about each can be viewed on the specific wedding essential page:

Wedding Attire

The wedding attire somehow depends on the theme and venue of your wedding. If you want a fairy tale like wedding or a beach wedding, the gown must be suitable for the theme and the venue. Gowns for beach weddings should not have long trails that you drag in the sand. For the groom, it is normally just either tux, suit or barong. After thinking about what you and your groom will be wearing, you also need to think about what your entourage will be wearing, plus the accessories that you will be needing.

The Wedding Dress

Your wedding dress makes up at least about 75% of your looks on your wedding day and is perhaps, one of the most important for the brides. Who would not want to have that very special dress on this very special day?

Make-up

It is your special day and you have all the right to be beautiful. It is your time to shine. Your time to show that best version of yourself.

Photographers and Videographers

This is your day. A day you want to preserve for the rest of your life and share with your kids and grandkids. It is essential to find a good photographer and videographer who can capture your precious moments and help you preserve those in the years to come.

Wedding Favors

Wedding favors serve as a sign of gratitude towards your sponsors and guests who joined you in the beginning of your life together. It is common for the bride to choose what gift to give the guests. It gives her a chance to show her personality and really consider what will delight her guests.

Registry

Most modern couples opt to have a registry where they list down the things they need and want to have to start their life together. With all your options, deciding on what to put in the registry may be a bit overwhelming. You can start with a long list and just narrow it down later starting with the things you need and then add your wants later.
