Sophisticated Rustic:: Jen + Dwin

I could not even find the words to describe how lovely Jen and Dwin's rustic wedding is. We incorporated gorgeous florals with foliage and wood elements. For their sweethearts lounge, we dropped upside down foliage lace tied and candles floating in square jars. The presidential tables had rows of lovely carnations, kales, lisianthus, roses, ivy vines, green berries, hydrangeas, snapdragons, celosia under shiny crystal candelabras.

Beginnings:: Rizza + Reddy

We're starting our events calendar, as promised, with nothing but loveliness. I love working with flowers a lot. I love how one blooms first than the other, I love how there could be different rose variants - Ecuadoreans, Holland roses, David Austin's, Garden roses, spray roses... Why you can just get lost! Colors, oh my! The list could be almost endless... Antique purple roses, bicolor sprays, purple "cool water" rose... believe me, you'll get lost from this loveliness. And while flowers bring beauty in the floral centerpieces, table scapes, nothing beats it's beauty when it is illuminated with candles.
While Fort ILocandia remains to be the loveliest and grandest among the hotels in the north, you'll have to remove it from your list of possible venues if you want to have lit candles as part of your decor. I had to say pretty please in lighting the candelabras just for pictorials. I kept my promise though that after I take photos, I'd extinguish the candles. My heart cries a little when the guests arrived with no lit candle in sight. Oh well, hotel policy. So I guess, we have to make sure, from our end, that whether a hotel would allow lit candles or not, the centerpieces are lovely.

Rustic Autumn:: Katrina + Jonathan

We've done one too many rustic weddings, yet Katrina and Jonathan's feels like a breathe of fresh air. Must be the palette, autumn colors - reds, oranges, yellows, and greens. Autumn reminds me of a bountiful harvest and it's just too timely to be doing this loveliness this December.

 

This year, our calendar was filled to the brim. I am thankful for that. And what elates me more is the friendship we have fostered with the clients we have worked for. That is our bountiful harvest. Thank you heavens.

Unfolding Fairytale:: Jel + Marc

A dream is a wish your heart makes...

If you keep on believing,

the dream that you wish will come true.

 

We are capping our wedding calendar with this loveliness for Jel and Marc. We used 20 silver and 20 crystal candelabras, rows and rows of glass candle holders, dozens of deep colored florals. I feel like I'm living a fairytale... Pinch me. I still get overwhelmed with positive responses. My heart is definitely full.
