6 creative wedding tips for baguio city

Deciding to have one of the most creative weddings in the city of Baguio might prove to be a challenge even if you have enough budget and time, there certainly is a need for you to think outside the box, when we say creative we do not simply mean entrusting the design to a wedding planner and just plainly agreeing, it is not even about choosing the colors and expecting that the traditional designs would work for you. If you want your wedding to be truly special, you have to be prepared to put your insight into it.

Here are the 6 creative weddings tips for Baguio City Weddings

1. ditch the traditional hotel wedding concept, sure this types of weddings are formalized, but here lies the problem it is too formal and has a bigger tendency of alienating your guests. It is not really enough to impress the people with the wedding reception or the food, the friendly and active ambiance that focuses on the romantic event. I have been too formal wedding receptions at Hotel Elizabeth, Prince Plaza as well as John Hay reception weddings and while I was impressed with some of the designs, I did not necessarily enjoy the event due to the fact that the event was too formal.

2. You can try renting out a garden, make sure that it has wide grounds and set-up a huge tent. Try the traditional Cordillera wedding, have a bonfire near and make sure that the people can sit somewhere where they are comfortable.

3. You can still go with the hotel reception plan but do this when you can make sure that you will invite a good singers, plan the songs earlier and make sure that every one is seated accordingly, Make sure that the guests would not be alienated from one another. Do this by preparing a master list, family members and friends must be able to sit together, and be prepared to mix and match the personality of friends for an interesting outcome.

4. Make the wedding invitation as personalized as possible, this means that if you want to be original and unique the personality of the bride and the groom must be reflected on the invitation. Do not go for the traditional scented paper, you can try sending one pair of slippers with a paper tied to it, let the guests find the other part during the wedding reception. Let that be the wedding invitation and the wedding token itself, this helps you become creative and will also reduce the costs. Using paper is a waste of  time, many guests would just throw it away after, make sure to provide a wedding invitation that is useful. If in Baguio you can go for traditional necklaces and bracelets, this necklaces would just usually cost around 15 peso to 75, you can also create your own necklace and bracelets that you can give away as well as key chains, plates and other Baguio known products. Make sure that the item of choice is not perishable and is useful for both men and women. Check out the fantastic necklaces and bracelets at night 6pm onwards at the front of La Azotea, ask for the works of Rommel Pidazo, Rene Aquitania, Edwin, Carlo Villafuerte, Kawayan De Guia, Yangs and other Latag boy artists, inquire at Vocas, Oh my Gulay located at the top floor and see if you can make arrangements regarding unique pieces for your wedding invite.

5. Since you plan on having a unique wedding, you can try having a unique ceremony with authentic sounds, try contacting people who know the Kadangyan tribal indie music group and be prepared for an eargasmic sound, you can also try locationg Tam-Awan artists who can help you in coming up with unique sounds, look for Shaunt Verdun...inquire at Vocas just the same.


6. Be ready to come up with a unique wedding dress design for you and your groom to be, the dress is the highlight of the evening for the women and could make the groom more confident about the special occasion.
