Amazing Aristocratic Affair

Pinch me, I must be dreaming! When Oly of Metrophoto sent this our way, I almost fainted. Chris and Amanda’s wedding is all about whimsical elegance. A stately garden affair that seems to have been meticulously prepared for a prince and her princess, the details were all divine. I wasn’t surprised since the vendors behind this fairytale wedding are all so talented. Take for example that wedding gown! Veluz has once again shown such impeccable style and creativity. Then there’s the bouquet by Vatel Manila which was just breathtaking. And oh my, the cake done by Peachy Juban was just brilliant don’t you think? There’s just too many things we love about this affair! A regal and almost aristocratic ambiance sets the mood of inspiring romance. So come on board folks, kick back and enjoy the view.

How To Make A D.I.Y. Fabric Flower Garter by Candidly Pretty

We at B&B are loving the rising popularity of crafting and all things handmade. Remember our previous post where we announced that a hand-crafter will be guest-blogging to share tips? Well, that day is today! Get ready for this super fun and exciting project!

Hi lovelies! I’m Koni Esteban of Candidly Pretty, a creative blog that my husband and I started to share our love for anything and everything handmade. My heart is about to explode with excitement to be guest blogging here at Bride and Breakfast! I am an avid reader and it gives me so much joy to share with you what I love to do–crafting!

Today I will be teaching you how to make a fabric flower garter for your wedding day. Let’s get our hands busy, shall we?

Materials:

  • Strip of satin fabric (approximately 18 inches)
  • Elastic lace ribbon
  • Embellishment (you can either use old buttons, rhinestones or gems)
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun
  • Needle and thread
  • Felt cloth

Step 1: Sew a basic running stitch along the edge of the satin fabric strip.

Step 2: Pull the thread and bring both ends of the fabric strip together. This will create ruffles forming the flower. Secure by stitching a knot.

Step 3: Hot glue the rhinestone on the fabric flower.

Step 4: With a small piece of felt cloth, hot glue both ends of the elastic lace ribbon as such.

Step 5: Secure the fabric flower on the felt cloth and elastic lace ribbon using a glue gun.

Your finished product should look something like this!

There you have it–an easy and pretty project to bring out the crafty bride in you. Until the next tutorial! Ciao!

 

Happy Beginnings

Weddings are all about celebrating togetherness, love, and people! I truly enjoy seeing weddings that are laid-back and intimate, and show elements of what the couple enjoy together. JP and Loni’s special day is a picture of lighthearted merriment with pretty bouquets, a beautiful lace-sleeved gown, groomsmen in suits and boxers, and a ferris wheel. Doesn’t it just sound like a day to remember? I’m pretty sure it was for all those present!

Perfectly Smitten

One of the best things about weddings is that  we can look like a million bucks. Every groom and bride become the most ravishing in the room, exuding a fresh radiance of love. When we envision our big day, everything must be beautiful. Nothing less than this was true in the wedding day of Carlos and Kelly. Carlos no doubt looked debonaire in his sleek three-piece suit, and Kelly, in a Joey Samson was a vision to behold! A gorgeous couple plus Pat Dy (who we can always count on capturing breathtaking portraits)? That’s a pretty good formula. Simple and sweet is today’s treat.

Tale of Two Worlds

Who doesn’t love a good love story? I know here at B&B, we’re total suckers for ridiculously romantic tales! And yes, we hit jackpot with this Mayad video we’re sharing with you today. I love how they captured such an endearing story that would most likely make a good plot for a romantic comedy–the one where the shy yet adorable “nerd” gets the popular and bubbly girl who happens to be an amazing artist. Tuan and Joylynn’s story is one of quirky charm and doting playfulness. We are just over-the-moon-giddy over how two extremely different people find one thing in common… love. And in our book, that’s pretty much all that matters.
