Church and Flowers

Church: Holy Child Chapel, Navy Base, Taguig City

Cost: 11,000 (with choir)

Rating: 3 stars

We found this church when a cousin of mine got married here a little over a year before us. It was a church inside a navy base, so naturally use of it is limited to enlisted personnel or to those who can get an endorsement from one. Luckily one of my uncle (and also my godparent in baptism, and eventually our godparent in our wedding) was a Marine. So there, we got the church for a really low price of 11,500 with choir :)

The church is really pretty, not too big and not too small. It's very cozy and bright, perfect for a wedding ceremony. The presiding priest was also really funny and actually nice. His homily was direct but not too preachy. :)

The reason why we gave 3 stars was because of the church administrator. Let me just say that it was a nightmare to deal with her, upto the point where our interview was only scheduled a week before the wedding and when we arrived at the church, the priest was not there because he was scheduled to do a house blessing and our interview was not on his schedule! Eventually I found out that she was also getting married (got married on the morning of our interview), and then their house got hit by the habagat (2 days before her wedding). And so, there's that. Anyways, the church ceremony went on without any problems, there was a choir (or just a duo). Although we started 15 minutes late because father wanted us to have a confession first before we start the ceremony. (I did mine inside the wedding car. hehe)

Ate Inah is sooooo easy to talk to. We went to her shop in Makati to discuss the flowers and the price, and after an hour, the deal was sealed. She is also one of the "known" suppliers of flowers and I was so excited that we got her. On the day itself, the delivery was on time, before I knew it, the photographers were already lining up the bouquets and taking pictures of them. Hehe. 

Loved loved loved my bridal bouquet. Very simple and very pretty. My concerns were that of the bouquets given to the ninangs and other members of the entourage. I just don't feel that the flowers were fresh enough. :( Here are some photos of the flowers and just judge for yourself :)

PS. Also loved our church flowers and the arrangement, very fresh and simple (see photos above)
