Glamour camping aka Glamping :: Drazee Aleya's 7th

At first when they asked me to do a glamping party, I was totally lost. What of all craziness is glamping. Ha!ha! As we went through the theme, I was very eager to do it the more. Our days in Haweewee was spent scouring for lovely finds I could include in this party. You see, each party theme is unique and you just can't use what you have when the day comes. That is one of the lovely challenges of a stylist, must I say... We are also treasure hunters. And as always, I love coherence when doing parties. Never chopsuey!




Drazee's candy bar has to be one of the loveliest we've ever done. We did not only have candies, but fruits, nail polish and GAP nail files! Glamorized everything yay!




Don't you love how the damask brings out Drazee's chevron cake?




Lovely spiral wafers! The moss stones lend the outdoorsy feel of the glamping theme while the silver frame glammed it up.












The brown luggage I got from the swap meet, pier1 vintage clock and the rainbow boa I got on sale at party city. December parties are so lucky, we got each and every party something new from over there. Sigh!








Yes... Keep calm and glamp on. The gold tea kettle was a hand me down from my MIL. Now what do I know, at first I didn't want to get it but not to offend her sensibilities, I did... I guess she has foresight. Haha!




And of course what is camp without a tent?
Working for the Dy's has always been a lovely experience. They let you be, let you do what you want. So everything comes out as a surprise for them. An affirmation that we did good? I got a lovely keep calm and bake on shirt from the little one. Thank you Drazee and happy 7th.

Princess :: Brielle's 1st birthday

It's all kids for this week before we shift to the glamorous world of weddings again. Jitters! So for little Brielle, we did a princess party for her. And her cake? Stacked pillows with a crown on top. Lovely!

















Whenever we do parties, I am biased to doing it in just a few colors. Unless of course, the theme is really asking for it. And whenever we do parties, we try to make sure that everything is coherent and not just randomly added. I love the chase of looking for things that complete our parties. It feels like we're on a non ending treasure hunt, where the treasure would actually be the smiles we get from you when it's done and not the find.

Alright so that's it for the day, tomorrow is another day, another loveliness. Happy birthday Princess Brielle!

Heavenly angelic:: Sam's baptism

It mustn't have been too difficult to choose for the theme for their little one's party. Looking at Sam, she is every inch an angel... Her curly hair, smiling eyes, very cherubic. Yay! So angels it is.






It was predominantly creams, whites, silver and pinks today, feathers and lovely roses. The feathers remind me of soft, puffy clouds.




















And since it is December, we made tree feather centerpieces. Who says angels don't have christmas trees? Teehee!

Little one, you are your parents little piece of heaven on earth. Welcome to the Christian world little Samantha.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :: Charles Aerhom's baptism

Last night, straight from the wedding, I asked the staff to bring collaterals to the venue as it is harder to work in the rain if it does rain.I was awaken though, by the early rays of the sun this morning, and I took it as a sign that the party is going to be lovely even with the impending typhoon, which I hope reroutes.

So here's our weekender party. Mickey Mouse clubhouse for Aerhom, who is soooo adorably cute, with rosy chubby cheeks, who also happens to be my godson. Yey!


Cute plant boxes right? We dressed them up like Mickey. The topsy turvy clubhouse cake is sooo cute too. I was begging Aerhom's mommy, Christy Ann not to order too much cupcakes as our week is filled with crazy cakes already. Teehee!














My foolish husband pruning invisible out of the way leaves in my topiaries.

Yay! I get better get going to attend the party of my godson... Welcome to the Christian world little one, may you bring these lovely memories with you to Sydney. Much love.

Vintage romantic :: Renemar + Ivy

Just a little trivia on this wedding. Melody, Harmony, Ivy, Charity, Dwight. Done with the first three. We have two more, and I hope we get to do the other two weddings for the family still. Teehee!

From a lovely dinner last night and deprived sleep, I am so glad we were able to pull this off. We just decided last night on what materials we shall be using for the hurricane lamps. So I called an impromptu meeting (again!) and tasked them to secure what I needed. Ha! Ha! What a slave driver.

So this morning, I woke up a little later than usual... Lo and behold, the staff were set to go... Along with what we needed.





I love how vintage-y the cake is. Very very simple... Yet still lovely.





Ace took that shot above. Very clever!














Again, I am quite pleased with the outcome of this wedding. And from the responses I got, the loveliest came from married ones... Wanting to get married again for lack of words on how to describe what they are seeing. Yay! Thank you! And even if I had to cut my lovely rolls of lace, it was all worth it. The drama that came with that... I dont mind now. Ha! Ha!

Ivy and Renemar, thank you for entrusting us to do your wedding. To lots of nights and days of blissful togetherness, much love!

Mickey lovin' this December:: Ivan's birthday

The challenge whenever we are tasked to do a character themed party is that we have to come up with something that isn't yet done (which is very hard to do). For Ivan's party however, I'm a little bit thankful that it fell on this month. It's actually a cross between Mickey Mouse and Christmas.


The sorcerer mickey was a find I got at Hawaii's swap meet. Teehee! I told you, all the parties we have this December have traces of Alohaland on it.





The black Christmas wreath was a score from National bookstore. It was a garland which I halved and converted into two lovely wreaths. The ribbon was from Costco.


The framed Mickey icons... I love. Ace and I DIY-ed it on the spot. The frames, I had it done at my good friend Joy's frameshop, Arwen's. the patterned paper for Mickey mouse's head was from Ben and Franklins.


The Mickey topiary heads was a spur of the moment thing. I needed plants for the planters, teehee. Again, I used my edger puncher to make Mickey's ears.


Yay! I hope the little one's happy with what we did. 1st Kiddie party for the month done... Ready for the next? We sure are!

Simply Elegant:: Monica + Jason

I am lost of words on how to describe this wedding, more so, put a title on this post. Believe me, the instructions for this event was that it should be done as simply as possible, yet come out as lovely as it can be.

And whenever we do weddings here at Sitio Remedios, my excitement is more than usual. There is something in Sitio that makes it special and that it is just but a few, a select few who can understand the loveliness this quaint place can offer.

Our couple for the day must be the most laid back we've ever had. It was actually a little hard at first because I am clueless on what they wanted.When I thought we'd be doing very grand arrangements, we did just the opposite. If I remember correctly, I was instructed to use flowers half or much lesser than we normally use. Teehee!

Paper roses all lined up.

Roses and berries so pretty.

The bride's bouquet was a mix of lovely blooms in purple and orange hues. When I showed her the photo's of the blooms we were using, her face just lit up. I wonder what she thought of the bouquet after.

Drummer boy cake

Christmas icons as cupcake toppers

Monica and Jason's unconventional wedding cake

 Their wedding cake was a cupcake tower of Christmas icons. The cake they sliced was topped with an edible replica of their drummer boy's. We just made the other one, a drummer girl though. It had curled eyelashes, teehee!

Come dusk, this was how the place looked like. I love how simple yet elegant it had become.

And to Ms. Monica and Sir Jason, may you be blessed with a marriage filled with bliss and love. And thank you, for having us, as a part of your special day.
