Bride and Breakfast x Rustan’s Weddings and Beyond

For our latest Bride and Breakfast for Rustan’s Weddings and Beyond project, we partnered with Jo Claravall in creating an elegant vignette for their Romancing the Mediterranean home fair that reflects the beauty of Italy–merging its rich history, flamboyant culture and style, and the warmth of the Italian home. By using exquisite European elements and adding a surprising old rose, black, and silver color twist, a dreamy creation comes to life. Thanks to the beautiful snaps of Chapter One Studios, we can share them with you today!

Do drop by Rustan’s too so you can check out our vignette and all of our recommended items!

Tranquility in the Tropics

Hey, darlings! So I know the weekend’s over, but let’s dream a little longer with this delightful beach wedding from Pleiocene Pictures! I can’t get enough of the laid back yet intimate details of Gian and Riza’s wedding. Let’s start off with those charming watercolor invites by Pearl Diano–I am in love with how they just give off such a perky and lively vibe–and how those bridesmaid dresses from Cheesecake matched them! I’m also digging the choice of baby’s breath for the flowers and creative signboard decor during the ceremony. Well, don’t let me keep you! There are still more lovely details to see. Enjoy!

11 Tips to Help You Manage Your Guest List

Let’s face it–guest lists are pretty tricky to handle. Filipinos are generally brought up in a very family-centric culture, which makes intimate weddings a bit hard to do.

2. Set a conservative number for your guests based on your budget and venue size. If your dream wedding venue can only hold a certain number of people, take it to heart. You wouldn’t want a cramped place!
