Rustic Modern:: Gem + Sherwin

To love, laughter and happily ever after.
It must be for Gem and Sherwin, I just witnessed them do a cheesy entrance dance as I write about their loveliness. Teehee!
And zoning in, they met in school and they wanted that element to be evident in their reception decor, thus the blackboards. We used a lot of yellow Lilliums that made the hall smell divine.
 
We did the middle tier of their cake like a blackboard and wrote their names on it with edible chalk aka pearl dust. Yay!

Bright and lovely:: Ruben + Grace

I started my morning yesterday, very lovely... A handful of heartwarming, cartwheel inducing emails and this lovely wedding for Ruben and Grace. It is always a breeze working at Arabella's Events Place, to work with Audrey Adora of Red Gala Weddings and Events and Ferina Albano, who we will definitely miss (leaving for a cooler climate soon). I must be very selfish for not wanting her to leave. I honestly think, she is one of the heaven's creatures who can take the loveliest photographs here on earth. If that makes me a fan of her, guilty as charged!
 
This must be our 5th project with Red Gala, and so far they have been consistent with the professionalism one seeks from an event planner and coordinator. On the dot, no nonsense, and definitely goes the extra mile with no excuses and without bothering the couple. I truly admire Audrey Adora for being that.
Didn't we all wish life was as beautiful as those flowers, always? Quite grateful for the opportunity to be working with clients who love loveliness as much as I do. It is always more of my dream coming true at times with these endless crazy lovely projects they let us do. Love the crate and pail, sets off the flowers perfectly. Thank heavens for family trips!

That impromptu happy problem Ferina Albano dropped on our laps. The night before the wedding, a series of messages asking for an area for their prenup photos. I shudder!

See those lovely berries? I was worried that the kids might be too curious and pop a few in their mouths. That was totally unnecessary! Supplier told me they were edible.

And while we were doing those lush lovelinesses, I received a message from someone telling me about how our designs are being copied. In a way, I was quite delighted with her line that goes "looked similar albeit a poor copy of what I've seen you do". As I always say, I really can't do so much when folks don't use their brain matter if there is any. Boohoo! What we can promise, time and again, is that we shall try, all the time, to endeavor to tailor fit every party we do. I admire the lovely works of Preston Bailey, David Leatham, Jo Claravall, Pat Pastelero and the list goes on... But don't we all wish we could find our own niche to be known for rather have other people notice otherwise. Sigh! I wish we were more of that and super try to not be silly cats.

So that's it, loveliness achieved. Congratulations Ruben and Grace!

Modern Rustic :: Jen + Justin

I'm still swooning from the loveliness of Jen and Justin's oh so lovely rustic wedding at Sitio Remedios. And for that, I am forgiving the weather for being so sunny humid hot that day, I wished their wedding was moved in an air conditioned garden, if ever there is. Teehee! You must know by now how I play favorites, so I'll let you in on this one, Sitio is one of the 2 events place slash resort that I prefer working at in the Currimao, Ilocos Norte area.The look is so spot on for rustic weddings.

I'm quite at loss for words on how to describe how the wooden tables we did turned out. With a little imagination, we were able to resurrect wood scraps and come up with that patterned table. And the cake was so simple yet very lovely. The inspiration came from an eyelet lace we had on hand. Yay!
The presidential tables, patterned wooden table top over carpenters benches lined up, that matched with our ghost chairs. How do you like the rustic lanterns we used? The paper doilies I've been hoarding were used as placemats.

All prettily lined up! Really loving it!

 


And I think... and seriously believe, Audrey Adora of Red Gala is going to be a force to reckon with in the events planning and coordination industry. Working for her on this one was something. So professional, follows time frames, and a stickler to detail. Way to go Audrey!
And to our lovely couple, Jen and Justin... We wish you more years to be added to your 12, that it be filled with so much love and adventures.
