you're undecided or you want us to set one for you?

for one thing we can't set a budget for you since we dont know your financial situation... but if you want to cut corners.. here are a few of my suggestions. hehe

buy flowers from dangwa. they design and deliver EVERYTHING at dirt cheap prices. you can even show them pictures of how you want it to look like from magazines etc.

about the dress, get a student designer. they'd be MORE than willing to go down on your budget and its probably going to look PERFECT because they're fashion designers also, just not name brand ones. who knows maybe you'll be the one to "discover" them :)

dagdag nalang kayo ng inouts ito lang maisip ko now e hehe

kaka-wedding ko lang! your budget can be as small or as big as you want your wedding to be.

kung small budget, magbabawas ka ng mga iimbitahan. kung big budget, you may still choose to limit your guests but serve very good food at skyhigh prices OR invite all your friends and relatives and serve good food at moderate prices.

churches charge from 5,000 to 25000... depende sa simbahan at kung anong kasama sa package. for example, immaculate conception parish church in qc 8,500 including flower setup sa church.

christ the king - 20K including flowers for the church, but no aircon. add 5k for aircon.

photographers---daming range ng photogs. a lesser known but adequate photog flying solo could charge 3K to 5K for service only, bibigay niya lang sa iyo ang digital cds with pics after the wedding at ikaw na ang bahalang mag-edit and mag develop at mag album.

more well known photogs could charge between 25K to 70K for their photo packages, album included. pipili ka nalang kung kaninong style ang type mo. at kaninong range ang swak sa budget mo.

same for wedding gown makers--- gowns can be as low priced as 5K or as high priced as 120K ... sari sari already has RTW wedding gowns, another store in market market---ready to wed--- has nice wedding gowns with higher price range---8k to 20k for the simpler wedding gowns----very tasteful.

sa food naman, daming caterers din... from the 200 per head to the 1200 per head. dont forget, you will have to pay for the venue pa, if you choose to cater. depende sa lugar: fernwood costs 65K to 70K for 4 hours use. gazebo royale 60K at least. both puerta real and baluarte de san diego in intramuros, when i last inquired, cost around 30k.

if you hold it in a resto---depending on which resto, you might want to budget a minimum of 300 per head... (baka max's resto kaya na yun) gloria maris has lauriat of 8K per table of 10 people. (add 10% service charge and 10% vat to that, and add drinks to that too). new world hotel lauriat per table starts at 11K (10 people per table).

flowers---you can choose dangwa or a popular florist, or an event stylist... depende na sa resourcefulness at sa lalim ng bulsa mo... the flowers can cost you 2500 (many many dozens of roses, no arrangement, abang sa dangwa) to 250k ++ (elaborate arrangement, imported buds, pedestals and manmade ponds/bridges/ landscaping in your selected venue)

invitations- from 20 pesos (baka sa recto meron pang 20 peso invites... :D) to 150 pesos each invite, depende sa kaartehang involved. the less arte, the cheaper. saka depende sa quality ng paper and kind of printing used. mas mahal ang embossed sa plain printing lang. extra rate kung papalagyan mo ng ribbon.

other stuff you might want to budget for:

-videographer (and an avp --- extra bayad yun)
-coordinator (or if you are saving money, maybe kaya niyo nang pagtulungan ng mga pinsan at kamag-anak niyo)
- wedding cake
- wedding music/ string quartet/ band

okay sana nakatulong! kung kelangan mo pa ng recommendations by name tanong ka nalang ulit. :D

Hi manabs! Let us know how we can help you. :)

The budget can be as low as P150k (although that will really be tight) or as high as P800k or even more! You'll just have to adjust everything based on the budget - number of guests, church, venue for reception, menu, etc.

If you can give us more info, we can help you better. :)

i thought i could get away with 150 thousand wedding, pero ngayon umabot na ng 300 thou ang computation namin. It's so irritating kase ang daming nakikialam.

THe most expensive are the photos, ang mahal pala ng photographer!!
