The Cozy Countryside

When I dream of a nice getaway, it would probably look like this. Think serenity, think cozy… think utterly romantic. Graham and Ginger’s engagement shoot can make anyone dream of quiet afternoon walks and a cup of really good coffee. Enjoy these gorgeous photos by Pat Dy. Let’s just say it put us in a pretty lovely mood!

The Sweetest Sophistication

Pinch me please, because I think I’m still dreaming. This super gorgeous wedding from MangoRed is what great Mondays are all about. Ryan and Amanda’s beautiful bash is filled with sweet sophistication and delicate daintiness. To be honest, among all the prettiness you are about to see, we sort of admit that the bride’s gown the thing we took a good long look at. And today, we only have to look not once, nor twice, but three (yes, THREE!) times at the breathtaking gowns by Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, and Vera Wang–Amanda looked equally stunning in all of them.

Oh, and I’m pretty sure you’ve heard, right? Blush is the new black. Gotta love, love, love those dresses! Soft and surreal, we’ve decided that we’re welcoming this Monday with arms wide open!

The Inspire Benefit Backyard BBQ

We are so overwhelmed by the support we are getting for The Inspire Initiative events. And because of the generosity of a number of friends from the wedding industry, we are able to use our talents and resources to do our part in helping those affected by typhoon Yolanda.

The Inspire Initiative has partnered with Bride and Breakfast in hosting a chill and grill get together called The Inspire Benefit Backyard Barbecue. This is an evening where we can gather as a wedding industry together with our clients, friends, and family to show that we have not forgotten our brothers and sisters who are facing one of the most trying circumstances a human being can experience. Through this event, we will be able to help others because 100% of ticket sales will be donated to Gawad Kalinga’s rehabilitation program for areas badly hit by the storm.

If you are moved to help, we hope to see you at 7:00pm on November 26, 2013 (Tuesday) at the Mango Farm (click here for directions).

Tickets are sold at PhP 850 each. Please fill up this form for ticket purchases. For inquiries email theinspireinitiative@gmail.com.

The more people go, the more people we can help!

We’d like to extend our thanks to the following sponsors for this BBQ fundraiser: The Mango Farm, Purpledish Catering, K. by CunananJoy San Gabriel, SLOWMOOZoombox, and Vatel Manila.

Sunshine Loveliness

What an amazing thing it is to have a sunshine-filled celebration. And thanks to We Do It For Love, we get to paint a big grin across our faces. Rob and Pam’s bright and endearing seaside wedding is one of steady charm and undeniable lightness. Then again, having some sand, waves, and two people in love is always a pretty good mix in our book!

The Rule of Romance

We’ve postponed last week’s posts since we wanted to focus on establishing The Inspire Initiative–a project geared to engage wedding suppliers and our readers to help the victims of typhoon Yolanda (or Haiyan). Today, we will resume our posts about all things weddings, but do stay tuned since we’ll be announcing a couple of more ways to help the Filipinos affected by the super typhoon.

On a lighter note, let’s hope that today’s beautiful wedding captured by Pat Dy can usher in some inspiration and a ray of hope that better days are coming. Joey and Yuki’s classic romantic affair is everything soft and sweet. With hints of pink hues, we hope this celebration brings warmth to you and a smile on your face.

Have a good Monday, everyone. And we hope you don’t get tired of helping!
