Belle and the Blue

Posted by Rachelle Que

The beauty of destination weddings lies in its offer of a break from the routine of everyday life. Everything looks just a little bit more magical, a hint dreamier, and a dash more delightful. Everyone is tinged with a happy glow and radiant with excitement. Such was true of Eug and Pia’s wedding–the details are all kinds of charming! I really loved the wreath bouquet and the studded bridal shoes–they were so unique and unconventional. Nelwin Uy does it again and captures each rich moment into beautiful photographs.

Step into this fête laced with a pretty pastel palette and daydream with us for a bit this sunny Wednesday.

Love’s Morning Elegance

Posted by Rachelle Que

There is something about classics that hold so much beauty and elegance. Marco and Vanni’s wedding is a wonderful example of how subtlety works. The details are a seamless marriage of timeless and modern–seen in the groom’s dapper pairing of blue and khaki, and the bride’s gorgeous peplum serpentina lace gown. I also found the mixing of colors so sophisticated! Whites with deep rich blues and violets are perfectly unassuming and tasteful. I love the way Nez Cruz captured moments bubbling with raw happiness and candor. What a joyous occasion to just enjoy the company of family and friends!

Jump in and delight in the warmth of this wedding–no pretentions, just straight-to-the-point love celebrated in style.

Sea and Serendipity

Posted by Rachelle Que

Asya Premier Suites has a special place in my heart because I witnessed the engagement of two of my good friends there (yes, we cried)! So when I saw that this SDE of Jason Magbanua was a ceremony held on the same beach front, my heart skipped a beat. I already knew it was going to be beautiful! My gut was right–I loved the pretty little details like the bridesmaids’ dainty hair wreaths and the bride’s ornate hair ornament. I am totally taken by the laid back atmosphere of this wedding, from the modestly adorned canopy to the easy chemistry of the bride and groom–it’s all wistfully wonderful.

The thing about this wedding is that they didn’t have a photographer to capture the events. Everything was documented purely in film. Be still my heart! As much as I’d want to see more of the details in stills, I am quite happy seeing it through Jason’s eyes. This has to be the wedding that just keeps you wanting more! I say it again, it is all wistfully wonderful.

Keep a close eye on the bride’s wedding gown, I love the movement of the light lace and the subtle sexiness of the boned corset!

Here’s one to get your heart beating a little faster this Monday.

Fashion Friday: Kenneth Pool Bridal Spring 2014

Posted by Rachelle Que

We’re at that time of week again when we celebrate the women in us and gush over fabulous wedding gowns. All in poise and moderation, of course. Today we are loving Kenneth Pool’s Bridal Spring 2014 collection! It’s a collection that flaunts the curves and flatters the feminine silhouette. The sweetheart corset came in different embellishments and drapings, all of them wonderfully and intricately crafted. We are absolutely crazy over this set–it’s as sexy as it is elegant!

Sit tight and delight over these gorgeous pieces. And remember, it’s okay to go stare!
