Fancy, Flight and Forever

After taking the week off, I really missed all the wedding goodness I’m used to facing everyday. When Ernest Pascual sent this delectably detailed wedding I almost fell off my chair! Well-thought of elements, beautifully crafted articles and super steal-worthy ideas to gush over as we start the week. Paulo and Angela’s wedding made me think about poetry, romance and raindrops of whimsical wonder. It’s like a fairytale you don’t want to end.


These invitations are so artistically made! Designed by their coordinator Ernest Pascual, he says how important it is to be consistent with your theme and elements in your wedding. To tie things together, the cake and invitations actually had the same poems used as their design.

The bouquets are so dreamy! The colors are soft yet exudes a fun and young vibe. LOVE!

Gushing over this personal tidbit: Being sentimental, the bride and the groom kept their text messages and notes which were used in their “let our love take flight” tree adorned with those adorable paper cranes.
Accessorizing your wedding surroundings will always be a go especially if it is full of whimsy and romance.
Don’t you love a hands-on groom? Paulo made these little nest guest name holders! What a guy huh?

    Forever Filipiniana

    It’s rare for us to see couples who go for that cute and quirky Filipiniana theme. It’s a good thing Cy and Berns justified this adorable theme with details that really made their wedding stand out. It is nothing too serious nor stiff, in fact it was bursting with charm, fun and little bit of silly humor. Jay Jay Lucas of Imagine Nation Photography captured the moment’s light and cozy feel. As they would say in Tagalog “Mabuhay ang bagong kasal!”

    I added some cute shots from a guest at the wedding and also an Imagine Nation photographer, Noel Salazar

    Cozy Aussie

    Australia has always been one of my favorite places to vacay to. I love the laid back culture, the super-friendly locals and the beautiful beaches. So it’s safe to say I was not in any way surprised that our feature today is going to be super cute. A little mix of the Pat Dy style, the Aussie vibe, and our couple’s chemistry–we got a winner here folks! Let’s have a little fun in the sun!

    True Love and a Tree

    I’ve wanted to write about this wedding for a while now. However, I had to wait for a couple of things before everything was in perfect order. And today they are! What a picture-perfect union this is. Because the couple is both exposed to the world of fashion (Vanessa is a model and Jun is a photographer… how cute right?), it comes as no surprise that their wedding is going to be our style candy for the day.

    I don’t know the couple personally but a few of my friends do, and believe me, they were all praises for this kind-hearted tandem. It’s rare to come across weddings that stir your heart even without being there. This is one of those exceptional ones.

    This video by Threelogy is a must-see!

    Mayad also made two other videos. This one is of their after-party celebration in Whitespace, the other we featured before was is their pre-wedding trailer. I couldn’t resist showing this one because it’s such a fun video! Who would say no to a wedding that’s overflowing with laughter, energy and a free Blackberry?

    From the bride:

    Since I was a kid my dream wedding was to get married under a tree and I pictured that in my mind so many times. None of those times came close to what we had on our wedding day. My husband coincidently wanted to get married under a tree as well. We researched for a tree around the Philippines but couldn’t find one so we decided to just get married in a Garden and scratch that perfect tree off the list. Lo and behold, a month before the ceremony we did our ocular inspection of Bellarocca and we found the tree of our dreams and it came with a beautiful sunset view as a bonus.

    I believe every wedding is unique, even if you have the same suppliers and music. Our wedding was such a blessing, it was orchestrated by God. Our guests felt the presence of God, and it showed in every tear they shared with us that day. One week before my wedding I got my wedding gown from the original designer I hired, it wasn’t what I expected, and to make things worse it was a week before the wedding. This was when my angels got together. So many designers offered me their gowns, but John Herrera stood out with his amazing vision and heart. He gave me my perfect wedding gown as an early wedding present. He was just one of the people used by God to make our dream wedding come true.

      Pretty and Pines

      Call me traditional but I still think that Baguio is one of the most romantic cities in the Philippines. Apparently I have Darwin and Andrea to back me up on that theory. Can you imagine smelling the scent of fresh pine and cuddling close to a loved one in that chilly but nonetheless dreamy weather?

      This wedding channels a homey and classic feel, overflowing with soft details and a hint of French charm. I wouldn’t expect anything less from a couple as gorgeous and stylish as these two (yes, I think that gown is frothy-licious and that suit has dashing written all over it)! With weddings as pretty as this, it will always be worth the trip up the mountains.
