Unang Pista:: Kerwina Marie

As promised, here is the fiesta we are looking forward to working on this week. If you did love Catniss' Spanish fiesta here, you'll love Kerwina Marie's Unang Pista as well while it reminds you of childhood memories - clay/earthen lutu lutuan, pabitin, the whole nine yards of a Pinoy fiesta.

 

We had banig place mats, earthen clay pots with fresh "pinakbet" vegetables, frayed sombrero with fresh daisies as centerpieces. We wanted sampaguita yet we can only get hold of sampaguita flowers. I want the whole plant! Teehee!

Kerwina's parents, will always up their game in terms of sourcing for favors.They had abanikos - the accordion and heart shaped one ( I'm so sorry for not knowing how they are really called), mason jars, loot bags printed with banig and banderitas.

I love the huge balloons with fringe tassels!
And again, good job Mommy Mara for color blocking our candies. Believe me, in this side of the universe, it's hard to look for plain colored candies.

Happy birthday darling Kerwina Marie!

Flowers and butterflies:: Sephia's 1st

Anastasia wants flowers and butterflies... Sephia does too! Wink! Wink! Don't we all?
I feel so at home working for the Florida's. Our meetings are always a joy, imagine our conversations would be 10% of the project and the rest would be some other else. For little Sephia's 1st we had a floral wall of fresh florals, center pieces of daisies and butterflies, watercolor decals and letters.
We had to start working on this darlings first a day ahead before we left for Singapore. Then our team wrapped it on the day. Remote supervision works with a great team, believe me. And you need not worry not having file photos if you have the Dinna David to cover. She takes lovely lovely photos.

Spanish fiesta:: Catniss' baptism

I am so behind from blogging lovely parties. Bear with me though because there's going to be another "fiesta" we shall be bombarding you within a few. For Catniss' baptism, we did a Spanish fiesta- her lovely mom lives in Spain, figures. Not only did we have decorations of colored fringe banderitas, honeycomb lanterns, cacti, bright fresh florals, faux machuka tiles, and maracas but the menu was true to theme as well. We had no other caterer in mind- just Chef Nic Rodriguez and made it imperative for him to make delicious paella!

Nautical blue meets green:: Karsten Kiel's Baptism

A dash of green to blues and whites made Kiel's nautical party notches lovelier. Clean with just the right dose of playful don't you think? I'm loving the anchors, steers, buoys, those wooden things beside KIEL's name which don't know what you call them. And those starfishes, shells, and corals inside our metal lanterns complemented by fresh hydrangeas and roses... Sigh!

 

Welcome to the Christian world dear darling Kiel. So the adventure begins.
