A Real Summer Wedding (Palafox - Senier Wedding, March 28, 2008)

It was indeed summer at its peak. The weather forecast was at 34 centigrade . The heat and humidity was really on us. Its the wedding day of Karen and Charlie and not even the intense heat could hamper the wedding preparation. Karen opted to dress up at Fernwood instead of the usual Ortigas Center hotels. Charlie stayed in a Quezon City hotel most proximal to Fernwood Gardens. Wedding ceremony takes place at the St. Francis of Assisi Garden and the reception at the Courtyard of Fernwood. Alex del Rosario's Juan Carlo The Caterer was busy doing the banquet set up when we arrive. East Digital was doing the photo and video. Its my first time to work side-by-side with Amy Godianse of Forever and a Day, wedding planner designate by Karen and Charlie. The exclusive tie-up of Scenta Flora created the flowers for the bride, her entourage and the chapel's decoration.
Eric Bautista (my surname sake) was Karen's hair and make-up artist. It was an unconventional white bridal SUV (Ford Expedition) for Karen. Charlie looked dashing in his barong. What could go wrong? nothing! except for the intense heat, everything went well. I'm speaking only until Karen walked the aisle. Of course, I predicted it would be a great and momentous event for the couple.

My Booth at the Wedding Expo 12th edition at the PICC Tent

We arrived at around 3:30 pm at the PICC tent for our ingress for the wedding expo. Assigned to enter using dock B we made sure all exhibit materials were in for we intend to finish early and not wait for the last hour and avoid the rush for setting up.

My assistant Paulo, staff Belsan and driver Rumel were around to do the set up. My booth was assigned on corner area which made us come up with a better layout of our booth positioning the mannequins in diagonal position. Check the pictures for our set up. I also came up with a new flyer for this edition of the wedding expo.

Wedding Expo Philippines 12th Edition (March 8 and 9, 2008)

Thank you to those who got our flyer out of their own will. We make it a point not to insist on giving away our flyers to all the audience who passes by our booth. My belief remains all these years of my being a wedding exhibitor. You don't have to insist on giving out your flyer to everyone that passes by your showcase. Let them look of what you showcased for the exhibit. Definitely, if it interests them, they will get your flyer and soon realize that they are communicating with you thru e-mail or thru appointment inquiries. Potential clients will not waste their time meeting up with you if they have no interest upon seeing your craft. After all, I wouldn't want to see my flyers being thrown to the garbage like the rest of the suppliers simply because they don't want it and worse of it is that they don't like it. Just reserved my booth for the 13th edition of the Wedding Expo this coming September.
