It was nice to set foot in Dangwa again. I guess the last time I was there was when I was about to celebrate my debut. Gee, that was like 9 years ago! Nothing has changed however; the alley is still full of stalls and vendors of flowers. H2B and I decided to drop by and visit our florist. We actually met them in one of the bridal fairs that we have attended but never had the chance to see their store. It was a challenge to go there because this is the first time that we will go to our supplier by foot and commute. It got us excited though as it has been a while since H2B and I went out by commute. I was excited by the possible jeepney rides and pedestrian lane crossings we will be having but we ended up riding cabs to transfer from one place to another hehehe!
As we went down the cab, I already started looking at the stall numbers. It was H2B’s first time to be there that’s why he was counting on my sense of direction that time. =) It didn’t take us a long walk to see Stall No. 15; the number written in our contract. It was named after a different flower shop but says Hapon and Juanita, who happens to be our contact person. By then we found put that it was Juanita’s stall which remained but it was her sister’s business name that they used when they decided to merge their business-Five Angels Flower Shop. It was a breather to have spoken with them again; being in the business for more than 25 years gives me a feeling of relief that they are indeed skilled and experienced in their craft. A few of their former clients were Jamie Rivera (wedding) and Regine Velasquez (concerts).
Once again, we reviewed our contract and discussed each item one by one. They also showed us actual samples of the flowers that we have chosen which more or less gave us an idea of the over-all look of the plan. The mock up will be scheduled on our pre-nup shoot so that we can use the bouquet in the pictorial and we were asked to drop by next weekend to see their samples for a wedding they will be covering on Saturday and Sunday

Many thanks to Ate Sonia and Ate Juanita for patiently answering my queries and for consistently entertaining my whims! =)
*This entry was created because we had a hard time finding reviews about them. Hopefully this will help them in their advertising as you W@Wies out there find your own florist. =)
