Here Comes The Bride All Dressed in a White Suit and Beige Stilettos!

Jerome and Riz swayed away from the norms of a traditional wedding by opting to wear matching suits for their special day, and boy did they both kill it in those suits! A quick look at the photos of their wedding day might make you think about including some wedding suit pegs as options for your own special day. The church aisle was decorated with sheer white cloth and vases filled with lush greenery and white flowers. The simple décor and the grand columns of the church were the perfect complement to Riz, as she entered the doors in her all-white suit and floral veil.

After the nuptials, the couple treated guests to a Japanese-fusion restaurant that uses local Filipino ingredients. The food was not only aesthetically pleasing to look at, but also very delicious, as seen in the look of bliss on everyone’s faces. The ambiance looked modern, sophisticated, and rustic all at the same time, with the wooden panelled walls, dried flower arrangements, and candles to set the table. This wedding is definitely one for the books with the uniqueness of matching suits and the simple yet classy and well-thought out elements. To see what exactly this day looked like, scroll down through the photos by Rom Acio Photography.

This Couple Chose an Original 1955 Jeepney as Their Bridal Car!

Couples incorporate the “something old” wedding tradition to symbolize sentimentality with precious items passed down through generations. Here, we have a couple giving us a wonderful and heartfelt example of this beloved tradition! Luis, the groom, comes from a family that is known and respected for their long tradition of manufacturing the Philippine jeepney. To honor the patriarch of their family and the founder of the iconic jeepney manufacturing company Sarao Motors, Luis and Monique chose an original 1955 jeepney as their bridal vehicle. It’s beautifully painted in white with “Just Married” signs for a fun touch. But more than the details, it’s certainly admirable how Luis and Monique made their intimate wedding even more meaningful by incorporating something valuable not just for them, but for their loved ones as well.
