Havaianas Bridal Collection: Fancy Flip Flops

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Janna Simpao

Because it’s summer and we are seeing so many beach weddings here and there. I decided to show you some cute flip flops you can use to a seaside affair. Havaianas came out with a bridal collection that is all about the glitz! Sparkling Swarovski crystals, dainty ribbons and feminine elements make these rubber beauties so desirable. Well, that and the fact that they are pretty darn comfortable.

(I’m thinking during wedding preps or when your feet ache after wearing those 5-inch high shoes, then these will definitely be a welcome substitute.)

Waves and Wonder

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Janna Simpao

Walking up to all these amazing celebrations is one of the best things about running a wedding blog. So here we go folks, our Tuesday treat is here! Serenity and sophistication envelop Lowell and Mylene’s wedding. Of all the prettiest details in this affair, I am particularly smitten by that gorgeous veil detail. Everything else spells out pure exquisiteness. Yes, this is another wonderful set from a B&B regular, Metrophoto. Be inspired. Sending hugs and love to all of you!

Luxe Filipiniana Bridal Shower

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Janna Simpao

Here at B&B, we just love, love, love the pretty. And because of that, were gonna start off our week with a bridal shower that is all about beauty. Here’s a thought: Throw a gorgeous bridal shower with a Luxe Filipiniana theme. Why? Because it’s elegant, it’s feminine and it’s modern meets the classics. This is such a feel good affair that will leave everyone gushing. Therese Jacinto, a good friend (based in San Francisco… BOO!) and a wedding stylist known for her taste and pure creative genius, sent this my way. I’ve been bugging her to move back to the Philippines and bring her craft that I’m sure a lot of B&B’ers will gravitate to! For now, this inspiration will have to do.

Tip: Pretty paper and details, details, details!

Check out her blog Brass and Linen for more tasteful goodness.

Seashells and Sweet Summer

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Janna Simpao

There are weddings that I enjoy. Weddings that make me look and say “What a pretty sight that is!”, then I’m off to my merry way. But there are also those handful of weddings that make me stop, take a look, then stare, then dwell… until I find myself hopelessly swooning. Karym and Mabeth’s lovely beach wedding is exactly that. From the totally cute and chic wedding outfits to us commending The Wedding Agency for doing a superb job in conceptualizing a fun laid-back affair, everything is just seaside perfection. And yes that bouquet by Vatel Manila and boutonniere by {etc} Handmade Goodness are screaming DETAIL HEAVEN!!! It’s our first time to feature Mark Cantalejo‘s work, but I am surely hoping it wont be the last.

Enjoy this sweet summer wedding!

Reception: Estacio Uno Boracay Lifestyle Resort / Photography: Mark Cantalejo / Gown: Hindy Weber-Tantoco / Make-up: Mica Tuaño-Fuentes / Bouquet & Boutonniere: Vatel Manila with Cecile Roxas-Padecio of {etc} Handmade Goodness / Video: Ian Cruz Films / Invites: The Fozzy Book / Overall concept: The Rebellious Brides’ The Wedding Agency / Coordination: Amanda Tirol

Vivacious Vinty Vibe

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Janna Simpao

It’s been a while since we had a vintage affair here at B&B. Yet even if this theme is popular among brides, I must definitely commend Gabby and Trina’s wedding because of their approach to the whole vint-vibe! Subtle, elegant, a twist of modern and oozing with chicness are just some words that come to mind. A perfect example of less is more!

I guess I am also pretty biased towards this affair since it pretty much has a couple of things I am very fond of–Antonio’s as their gorgeous venue and MangoRed as their brilliant photographers. Now this wedding was destined to be great right from the very beginning!
