Dahil malapit na ang aming 3rd year wedding anniversary, naisip kong gumawa ng post regarding our special day. Hopefully, it could be of help to anyone na nalalapit nang magpakasal. Our wedding day was March 16, 2014, 9: 00 in the morning at La Mesa Dam Guest House.
It was the same place where we had our prenup photo shoot. You can also check my post about our prenup photo shoot for more photos of the venue. For me, this venue, if not the best is a great place for weddings in Quezon City and you will know why as you read this post.
Beautiful sunrise it was indeed. These are unedited photos of the sunrise on our wedding day. Isn't it lovely? Parang wala ako sa Quezon City. I felt I was out of town. It was calm and quiet na para akong nasa province pero I am few minutes away lang naman to Quirino Highway.
Morning ang aming kasal so our makeup artists and photographers are on the site as early as 4:00 AM. Advantage na may separate additional big room (seems like a conference room) on the ground floor where had more than enough space para sa pagaayos namin while everyone is busy sa labas.
My HMUA was Aryan Ang. She did my (now) husband's grooming too. And my dear friend Aldrin Jalandoni took care of my secondary sponsor's hair and makeup including my mom.
Feel free to check their Facebook or Instagram for their portfolio. Btw, yung photographer ko ay husband ni Aryan Ang, so you can reach him through her or his Facebook Page Jay Alberto Film.
It was not a usual give away and I want it that way since I want it unique yet practical. May personal touch pa ang plants since you can grow it at pwedeng magtagal.
In fact, yung succulents sa bouquet ko ay lumaki pa at dumami. I give it to a friend who happen to win during the program. She send me some photos few months after our wedding na dumami at nabuhay yung succulents nya.
Anyway, here's a photo of me with my wedding bouquet.
Parang nakikiisa sa aming ang weather noon kasi it was a sunny day pero mahangin at malilim all throughout the day dahil maraming puno. The garden venue was literally sa harap ng guest house which is ilang hakbang lang. How convenient diba?
Pre-wedding photos muna before anything else. It is important for me to include these photos sa post so you can also see the work of our makeup artists and photographers. For me, they did a really good job. The photos still look natural yet vibrant ang colors. I really like my makeup too.
Yung gown ko at ng mga abay ko up to the flower girls ay pinatahi namin sa mga titas ko. Ako mismo ang namili ng design at pinagaya ko lang pero tinanong ko din yung mga susuot kung type nila kasi gusto ko magamit din nila yung dress kahit after our wedding. While yung kay husband naman ay binili namin sa Divisoria.
Moving on sa aming garden wedding, I didn't expect much. Di ko na din naiisip kung paano gagawin nilang ayos dun since kasama na sya sa catering package so long as it would look presentable I'm ok na pero it exceeded my expectation.
Kung kaninang umaga parang nasa probinsya lang ang feeling ko, ngayon naman parang nasa Japan na ako. hahaha.
Yung cherry blossom arrangement nila literally add color sa basic set up. Although maganda na ang garden dahil madamo at mapuno tapos fresh pa ang hangin from the dam, the arrangement was an absolute eye catcher and nakakagood vibes talaga.
What a lovely day it was!
Aside from exchanging of vows may favorite part was when they all prayed for us. Mahalaga talaga sa buhay may asawa na kasama si Lord sa relationship. Walang relasyon na magtatagal not unless ang Dios ang nasa gitna nito.
We had like 5-course meal plus 2 desserts. May flowing dark chocolate din and other pika pika with unlimited coffee since maaga ang kasal baka di pa nakapagbreakfast ang ibang mga bisita.
We also have a photo booth outside where visitors can take unlimited photos as an additional souvenir.
May aircon sa Guesthouse but we prefer na open ang lahat ng doors straight from the balcony where you can see the dam kaya ang sarap ng simoy ng hangin.
And look at our cake and our 3d cupcakes. Ayos ba?
Again since mahilig ako sa unique, I ended up looking for our cake design na dapat hindi usual. I saw a cake sa Pinterest na pinagaya ko kay Ms.Ann of Hney Sophies ang cake at gayang gaya nya. Sabi nya first time nya to do airbrush but it ended up really fabulous.
Even this 3d cupcake, si Ms. Ann din ang gumawa. It was my wedding love letter for my (now) husband.
At the reception, we had the usual program lead by our jolly host. Tapos kainan. We had the Madrigal siblings to serenade us with their lovely voices. The guest house has plenty of cubicles too, 3 cubicles sa babae at ganun din sa lalaki with big mirrors and plenty of sinks din. Parang nasa mall lang. haha
Our post wedding photos are just few steps from our garden wedding. Pero as you can see parang ibang lugar. Parang nasa forest lang. Hahaha
At pwde bang mawala ang napakaraming group photo? Sabi nga ng pamangkin ni husband, "What a DAM wedding!"
All in all, I can say na the best ang La Mesa Dam Guesthouse para sa wedding venue or kahit sa ibang occasions because it is near. You don't have to go too far to have a peaceful ambiance. It is private, hindi dito nakakapasok basta basta for security. You get to have a lot of picturesque spots in here, be with water (dam), with greens (garden) and the trees (forest). I hope nakatulong ang post na ito sa inyo in any way. Thanks for reading. Keep the love burning!
P.S. We could have our wedding ng June pero irerenovate daw ang Guesthouse and they don't even know kelan matatapos ang renovation and if it will still be open to others kaya we decided to have our wedding ng March.
