Vintage Elegance::Lyndy + Don

We had this lovely vintage inspired wedding yesterday. We only had three meetings with the Dy's prior to their wedding. The first was more of settling in with them over pansit and blocking their date. It was 95% non wedding issues, 5%wedding issues. The 2nd meeting was 50%wedding issues, 50% non wedding issues. The 3rd and final meeting was 10% wedding issues and 90% non wedding.

They have to be the most laid-back we've ever had. They basically made us do what we wanted, with the constant reminder that it should be beautiful. Lyndy would always say "Bahala ka na, I know you'll make it nice!".
I get more pressured with nice clients. Really!




We made a damask printed stage with mirrors. The chandelier just had to make an appearance again this time.


Books and gilded gold wood accented this part.


Birdcages on the other side.


Yay! I see me.














The ghosts are so pretty. This is it's second coming out. It gives extra sophistication in any affair. Swear. =)


























We used pink, orange and salmon colored flowers to complement the whites and greens we used. I love the outcome. I think I'm going to be in love with salmon for quite sometime.




Ace and I seldom attend clients weddings. Actually we don't. Not that we don't want to but putting up a show such as this is sooo tasking physically and mentally that no energy is left to party after. We made an exception. We went even if we were two hours late. Ha!ha!

From left to right, Lala love- the cupcake princess, April Rafales of TV patrol, Mara Manuel- she seamlessly coordinated this wedding, Tricia of Goto love it and moi and mi amore. Yay! Oh and of course, the Dy's. It's kinda amusing that Lyndy is now Lyndy Dy. =)

A little trivia here, Lyndy's father is the mango king of the Philippines, making her the mango princess.

Congratulations Lyndy and Don!

Busy as a bee!

My in-laws are home. Adding more craziness to our nonexistent stress free schedules. Ace and I are neck deep behind sketches and contracts. I am just thankful that clients don't morph into bridezillas or mommyrillas. Ha!ha! I promise the wait will be worth it. =)



This is one wedding I am so looking forward to. I just wish we close it. It is very simple, yet chic. Very detailed, yet looks minimal. I know, I know, I'm confusing you.


So we had red and black. Now this mommy wants, yellow and black. Ooohhhh!!! I always say, clients who opt for black in their parties have a different level of taste and sophistication. Black makes it more worldly, bolder, chic-er, glammer- if there is such a word. It just does!


There's been too much vintage already, it makes my head spin. But again, who am I to complain. So for this wedding... We literally had to squeeze what's left and what's not yet done. When we need vintage elements, I just wish we could loan items from houses of the old rich here in the north. I'm sure they have pieces that will complete the look.



This birthday is going to be cute. =) It's not really bear themed or so. How I wish I can divulge now. It's going to be nice... Lots of eye candy.

So that's 4 down, 4 more to go! Ayayay!

Minnie mouse::Gaby Almazan's baptism

I'm pleased that Gaby's parents were not uptight in our using black elements for their little one's baptism. Minnie isn't Minnie without the black.


Her cake is one giant cupcake. Yay!





Her name's in different black frames. Very chic! It pops out from the polka dotted wall.








My red chandelier, though it doesn't look red here.





Rose and carnation flower cupcakes. =)


All I can say now...is this is a Sunday well spent. Thank heavens! =)

Welcome to the Christian world little one!

Vintage Garden::Kath + Sander

This is our first time to do a wedding in Tabacalera- the brainchild events place of our Governor. It's huge, very daunting and very challenging. You know I always say I prefer working with bare spaces, but Tabacalera must I say is... Ahhh how do I say it? Lost for words. Alright, just very challenging. Add to the fact that we're doing a vintage garden theme in an indoor venue. Yay!



Our interpretation of the theme. I asked Ace for a wood wall with nooks where I can put something in it. Oh and I had to pester the carpenters to make a wheelbarrow and ladder too. This are the times when I seriously yearn for the swap meets in Hawaii. Sigh! And even Floradec. Double sigh! And also Michaels. I remember, my first dose of a craft store is Hobby Lobby in Texas. My Lola Doc is a crafty too like me, she bought me there. Is it still around?



The kid got to play with it before the wedding. =)


There's beauty in simplicity.


I filled the wheelbarrow with fresh hydrangeas, alstromerias, roses and carnations. I love how the wood wall turned out. The monograms were also done in wood. =)






Lookie! My water sprinkler I got for P50. =) I told you Ace, I'll be using it one day.

The tableau was filled with lovely fresh roses, gerberas, alstromerias, hydrangeas, orchids and my current fave... Snapdragons! Oh and succulents here and there. You might be wondering where do I get our props? Here, there and everywhere. A mix of cheap finds and I shudder ones. One day, I'll do a garage sale of our props. We try not to reuse them in events.

I took two sets of photos. The ones above are taken in natural light, the ones coming up are taken with the mood lights. I didn't know how to use Ace's cam so shoot me if they're not at it's best. I told a friend yesterday, I wish I had a photographer close friend who would take nice photos of our events.




























And the belle of the ball?



Our ghosts. =)

If gave a different feel of the place. They look so chic, elegant, delicate. Very very pretty.
