Paolo and Aly knew they wanted their wedding day to be chill, meaningful, and totally them. After tying the knot civilly in the US, they planned an intimate celebration back home in the Philippines earlier this year—a sunny morning affair that turned out simple yet undeniably elegant.
They skipped the usual wedding frenzy, choosing a village chapel and a nearby social hall so guests could stroll from ceremony to reception without battling traffic. The result? A cozy vibe where everyone felt at ease, and stunning daylight photos that perfectly captured the joy of the day!
Setting their ceremony at 9 AM might sound early for some, but it gave Paolo and Aly the bright, breezy feel they wanted. They even took a bold leap with chartreuse as their main color, which is a playful twist on classic wedding greens.
And speaking of twists, Aly kept things modern and fuss-free by rocking bridal separates instead of a traditional gown, pairing a chic Vania Romoff skirt with a custom top she’s excited to wear again in the future.
