WeddingsAtWork.com: W@W News Blog Archive

We read somewhere that wedding monograms (two-letter initials usually embossed in wed invites/envelopes) are loosing popularity in favor of the more trendy & personalized wedding logos. But what exactly is a wedding logo? It is a simple graphic design representing the soon-to-weds. The layout may include the couple's names, the wedding date, the theme or an simple illustration of an item/place that is particularly special to the bride & groom. To see some nice samples of wedding logos, check out Marry Monograms!

Finally, an eGroup for Suppliers!

Last Feb. 2, we soft-launched our discussion forum exclusively for wedding suppliers. It is called W@W-SDG (Suppliers' Discussion Group). We initially invited a few suppliers when we started and now we are extending the invitation to everyone who's already listed in the W@W Directory. The group is intended to be a venue where all wedding suppliers can exchange ideas, rant or rave about clients (W@Wies or not), or simply share useful info that may benefit fellow suppliers. It is also meant for us to know each other a little better. TO JOIN, simply visit wawsdg.weddingsatwork.com and click "Join this Group." Hope to see you there!

A Proposal Up, Up & Away!

(The Manila Times -Clark, Pampanga) Jason Tres Reyes wanted the moment when he asks his long-time sweetheart, January Eferia, to marry him to be memorable. He got his wish last Saturday, with a little help from friends. As hundreds of spectators on the ground cheered, Jason asked January to marry him aboard a hot-air balloon (photo courtesy of Anton Diaz' One Awesome Planet), hovering 40 feet above Clark in Pampanga . The event added a Valentine's touch to the three-day 10th Philippine International Hot-Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark. [MORE]

Spreading the 'Yabang!'

Since we have posted last month details about the Yabang Pinoy advocacy, a lot in our online community stood up and let themselves be counted as shouting proud Pinoys! A couple of W@Wies are even seriously considering getting abaca bands as tokens for their own weddings. That's would truly be of great help to the depressed communities which makes these braided abaca bands by hand. Why, even the pretty Bianca Gonzales (a housemate in the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition) proudly displays her abaca band while inside the Big Brother House. So what are you waiting for? Maki-sabwat ka na sa 'kayabangan'!

Rita's 6th Wedding Symposium

Last week, we had a little chat with Rita Neri, pioneer & premire wedding planner in the country and author of the book "The Essential Wedding Workbook for the Filipina." She updated us about the upcoming Wedding Store's 6th Annual Symposium to be held at the Manila Polo Club on March 26. Aside from an interesting wedding planning talk from her, some of the resource speakers lined-up are: Penk Ching of Pastry Bin (cake), Dominic Velasco of Imacron (video), Patrick Uy (photography), Philip Santos of Forsc Ink (lights & sounds) and Rajo Laurel (gowns). Fee is P600/person. Soon-to-weds interested to attend must register prior to the event. For details, call 840-1897 or 893-0534 and let them know you heard it here. We think there's a 'little perk' for the first 20 registrants from W@W. ;)
