The Pamamanhikan

     In Filipino culture and tradition, the "Pamanhikan" is where the man and his parents visit the woman's family and ask for her parents blessings to marry their daughter. It is also an occasion for the parents of the woman to get to know the parents of the man.

Affordable Flowers for the Entourage

I want a great wedding but i always hope and pray that we will not go beyond our budget. What is important to us is after the wedding we still have our savings and we did not spend all our money for a one day affair only. That is why, me and mike planned our wedding very carefully and make sure that we get the affordable suppliers but will not suffer the quality of their works.

We are lucky that we've found out the "The Dangwa Florist" promo.  For only Php4,000.00 we can avail of their elegant whole entourage package that includes the following:

1 bridal bouquet (roses)
1 groom boutonniere

5 ninang corsages
5 ninong boutonnieres

the following are the freebies:
