Today might come as surprise to all of you! For the first time ever, we are featuring a celebration that is not a wedding. Now I have a few good reasons why I am doing this. First, the styling of is ridiculously pretty. Second, brides can definitely learn a thing or two and be inspired to go for a DIY/Martha Stewart-ish/Shabby Chic theme. And thirdly, this post could not come at a better timing with my pregnancy.
So Buding Aquino-Dee, an award-winning mom and certified breastfeeding counselor (hooray!) threw her little princess the most fabulous party ever. Yes, this is a kiddie party but better get ready for some pure prettiness. Karen Ilagan did an excellent job capturing this beautiful bash (FYI, she also shoots weddings)! The styling was done by Bambi Hernandez of Alice’s Wonderland under the direction of our chic mom/style visionary! If her daughter’s first birthday looks like this, I see little Arie’s wedding featured in B&B 25 years from now! Brilliant, just brilliant!

Clearly a winner. Amazing talent indeed. Maybe for Raya’s debut
This was a great project to work with with Buding
It’s nice when parents are willing to explore and be adventurous with their parties!
Great job Bambi! It’s so so pretty!!! Do you also style weddings? In case some brides are interested. Let us know where we can contact you! Looking forward for your work to grace B&B again.
Thanks Janna!
Weddings may be accommodated, though the bulk of the event styling work I do now are for the “other” life occasions that people have (baptisms, birthdays, showers, etc.)
