The Bestman, Groomsmen, and our Bearers

Like any other weddings, our best man and groomsmen wore Barong tagalogs instead of coat and tie like the one we see in movies and in other countries. But out of the ordinary, we had 10 groomsmen and 2 bestmen and because of this we were having problems on where to rent the barongs for them at a cheaper price. We also could not afford paying the rent for all the barongs but our whole entourage were so kind to pay for the rent of the barong just like my bridesmaids who paid for their gown. Good thing, Close 2 You only asked for PHP200 for the barong's rent instead of PHP300. Well, that's good enough rather than paying a lot for each barong.

Also for our ring, coin and bible bearers, we decided that they will also be wearing barong tagalog so they'd look more elegant cute little guys.

The Entourage

The entourage is one the important parts of the wedding program. It would never be called a wedding without it. As for Jeff and I, we wanted our entourage to be unique, out of the ordinary. As I’ve told you from my recent posts, we had 14 bridesmaids and 11 grooms’ men. We wanted the bridesmaid’s attires to be elegant and out of the ordinary. I am proud to say that the bridesmaid’s attire was my own design. Though I have 2 designs for my references, the output was all my idea, including the Maid of Honor and the flower girls.

It was hard to get a modist that would agree to make 14 bridesmaid gowns with good quality and for an affordable price. Luckily, Louella’s (my superfriend) mother was a modist herself and agreed to do the gowns for me at a discounted price. We also had belts made for the flower girls to match the gown style of the bridesmaids and maid of honor. The color and belt of their gowns were the reverse of the bridesmaid’s gowns. And I’m very proud of the outcome. Check the pictures to see for yourself.
