After surfing the net for potential and well-reviewed supplier/arranger of flowers, I finally decided to check Mang Boy Mahusay in Dangwa. He's a GT find and a lot of GTers and W@W brides rave for his service. Yeah, I usually check reviews for each supplier that J and I are planning to book.
And so last Saturday, J and I went to Dangwa to check Mang Boy. Side advise, if you're bringing your car, try to eat at Chowking so your parking space is free for 1.5 hours. Your food receipt will be marked as "validated". If not, you have to pay 30 pesos for the parking space and I'm not sure how long you'll be able to use it.
When we checked for Jarielle's Flower Shop - this is the store of Mang Boy, a guy approaced us claiming that he is Mang Boy's brother. I hesitated at first because many reviews advise to beware of those claiming to be Mang Boy or related to him because many do this. Wow, so he is that popular eh? Good thing a fellow GTers posted Mang Boy's picture and the mark of his tatoo on his chest. That guy directed us to a unit where an older man is sleeping with Rosary tatoo. So when he got up, I was sure that he is Mang Boy. hehehe
J and I will only get the Church arrangement since my sister is making DIYs for my whole entourage. I'll have a separate post about it once she's done with all of it. Moving on, Mang Boy advise us to have 16 hanging balls along the aisle starting from outside the chapel 'til the altar. His first rate was 15k. I was like, what!? for just that? The flowers are just white and yellow pg mumps which are too cheap (mura lang. I can buy a bundle for just 20 pesos at our market). So I asked the lady who's listing the inclusions if I can barrow the paper and will canvass from other stores. Then Mang Boy reduced the rate to 12k which I still didn't consider until it reached to 10k with pull out service (they will bring the flowers to the reception). J is already whispering that it's okay since we'll be having 16 hanging balls with vines and it's reasonably priced daw. I was still not convinced but since J will be paying for it, hands down na. I just told them that we will not be bringing the flowers to the reception venue since we have a different set-up so they reduced the price to 8k. Downpayment by the way is only 4k and the remaining will be settled on our wedding date. :)
When we got out, J's convincing me that it's okay and if I still make tawad lower than 8k, I should expect a simple arrangement since no one is wiling to work for a very cheap price. Side comment, J is not into making tawad, sometimes he looks at me if I go way beyond the usual price. hehe
I just hope Mang Boy and his team will do it like what other brides said.
