I DO: A Save-The-Date Video

I thank all you B&B’ers for constantly supporting Bride and Breakfast. It warms my heart when I get submissions of all the pretty wedding material from couples or friends from the industry. Although I don’t get to publish each and every submission, I consider all of them beautiful.

Today I decided to post something that I think is both sincere and adorable. It’s a fresh take on doing a save-the-date video. Sometimes the simplest words can mean the whole world to someone. Here’s what the bride Jovy wrote me.

Hi Janna!

I simply cannot resist to make a submission. My husband is a very private person and he’ll hate me for doing this but I love it too much not to share. Besides, the wedding is done and a bunch of people have already seen it both online and on site at the wedding.

Anyway, please click the link to view the save the date vide for my wedding. I’m not sure if you’ll want to post this but this is not your usual Save the Date video. This is the work of my Maid of Honor, Clarissa De Los Reyes, a NY based film-maker with a Masters in Film from NYU under her belt.

The video running for barely 2 minutes is very simple, candid and real. After watching it a thousand times I still laugh and cry while watching it. The real star is my daughter Gabriela, 13 years old. Her dad and I finally tied the knot after being on and off for over 15 years.

Thanks again for all your help. Keep up the great work. I love, love, love, your blog!

Oliver and Aoui’s wedding is one glam affair. Now this is something that will wow our adventurous brides-to-be. I am TOTALLY in love with the avant-garde gorgeous gown. Fun, fab, and free-spirited, the feel of this wedding is regally romantic.

It’s a feel-good Monday!

Sail Away With Me

One of the most romantic things to do is to sail away into the sunset with your true love. It makes sense that Nico and Tippi decided to do a yacht setting engagement shoot. Shot by a B&B favorite, J Lucas Reyes, these photos are overwhelmingly fresh and fun. The styling was done by Sidney Yap and I have to say bravo! It’s one thing to style pretty ladies but it’s commendable to be able to tastefully style guys without being over the top. So here it is, sailing to us with oomph and pizzazz, our Thursday inspiration.

Pink and Priceless

It’s one thing to see a gorgeous wedding, but i think it’s double the joy to see a beautiful wedding of a friend. A few months back, Diane and I were chatting about her wedding. Although she planned to have it abroad, one thing I told her for certain is that she should get her photographer from the Philippines, since we have totally talented ones! That’s where Nelwin Uy came in. I love how he captured all the beautiful elements of Chris and Diane’s big day. From the cute bridesmaid TOMS to that simple yet stunning Amsale gown, I knew instantly that I had to post this lovely affair in B&B. Pink, pretty and priceless? Definitely.

Woodlands, Wonder and Whimsy

Alice in Wonderland is definitely one popular theme. I guess it’s the whimsy and wonder that comes along with it. Dru and Erna’s engagement shoot is fun, cute and overflowing with love. Mitch Mauricio of Theory of Bliss Photography sent this our way, an adorable set for a lovely day!
