Supplier Review Part 6: Make Up Artist

8. Make Up Artist - TONI RODRIGUEZ MAKE UP ARTISTRY (5 STARS)

Normally, I don't like putting make up. I tried several artist and yet I can't seem to fully appreciate make-up. For me, make up should enhance your beauty and not change your look. It should not only look good in the camera, but in person as well. Heavy/cakey make up is a no-no. Probably this is why I was drawn to her as we are on the same page. I was just simply amaze and impress with her work. I couldn't ask for more. You can check out the pictures below as to why. 

Note: Our call time was 3am. And my make up survive till 10pm in the evening with retouch only on the lips! :) Thanks to airbrush as well.

7. Groom & Ento Suits + Ento Gowns - AMONN VELASCO (4 STARS)

Working with him needs follow through. I am not saying its bad, its just that for the rate you are getting, number of clients he has across the globe and their manual system, definitely you also need to be organized on your end. For me, the effective way of working with him were the following: (1) Bring printed visual of your style/pegs for your female entourage, flower girls and bearers (2) Make your own checklist of who has done measurement, and fitting #1, #2 and final fitting -- including the Ninangs if they decided to have their gown made by Amonn (3) Check with him from time to time  - try to visit his shop and check out the first batch of gowns. (4) Make your own Statement of Account and have him re-check. I think where he excels is in suit and barong making. In the end, I would still refer him as a supplier definitely because he can still deliver on time.

Below are some photos --- teal/turquoise for female entourage, magenta for ninang and purple for the mother. Check out the color of the bearers I think it suits perfectly for a morning and/or garden wedding.

6. Bridal Gown - COCA COUTURE (5 STARS)

I am very happy with the way the dress turned out - lightweight, ruffled, and laced. The embroidery designs were all over --- the gown, veil, and even my headpiece (which I love!). I would describe it as elegant and timeless. Plus I wore this dress from morning till dawn. Carrying it around the metro was an ease. I really had fun working with Andrea. She's beautiful inside and out. Such a blessing meeting her. Below are some photos of the dress, enjoy!

4. Catering - TJIOE THE CATERER (4 STARS)

Lauri-at style for your guests looked clean and organized I must say. Anyways, we got to survey some of our guest for the feedback on the food. As expected, we did not have a chance to eat them as well do take outs. Over-all the guests loved the seafood entrees. The salmon, shrimp and crab. Below photo was the menu and the food served to our guest. If I were to improve my menu, I would take out the Yangchow Fried Rice as guests were very full and it was barely touched. 1 star goes for the improvement of vegetarian entrees (this was outsourced I believed) and the waiters' service. To be fair, I was told the waiters were understaffed that day unexpectedly supposed 40 down to 30, hence affected the quality of service -- some tables have had foods pulled out even if they were not yet finished.
