2013-02-22T11:36:00.001-05:00

February 2, 2013 was the beginning of the rest of their lives . . . starting point was at the beautiful, classic and popular San Juan Nepomuceno Church in San Juan, Batangas . .

It was at 2:00pm when Alain and April exchanged vows and were united as one . . . They found each other at the other side of the world . . . went back to the Philippines to share this beautiful moment not just with their family, but with their friends and relatives!

Marriage they say is not just a sacrament but a commitment - to love one another for better or worse . . . and Alain and April showed great commitment by tracing back their roots and started this beautiful journey at this beauitful church.

2 Crazy People in a Garden vowing To Each Other (Jr & Abi Santos Wedding)

2013-02-15T10:55:00.001-05:00

As their invitation displayed:

"No church, no priest, no entourage
Just two crazy people in a garden
Vowing to each other - a lifetime of love, jokes and random misadventures"

That's how unique, simple and cool the wedding of JR & Abi was at the UP Executive House last 22 December 2012.

I can really say that I enjoyed working with the couple on that day as they made it stress-free by just enjoying and making every moment count.

The couple were very creative as they came up with DIY wedding designs to make the simple garden a very unique one as they were assisted by accommodating and full of passion wedding-suppliers.

At the lobby area of UP Executive House is the couple's DIY-catchy names ~

Let's not forget the wedding invite which is another DIY project of the couple - designs were intricately made as if they hired a wedding invite supplier - talking about quality and superiority! (i still have the invite with me as souvenir)

Another DIY weddign guestbook of the coupke with ala scrabble type concept ~

A unique type of escort cards made by the couple were each of the names and the guests' designated table are hand- written by the couple in a special board and was pinned at a corkboard, this was displayed at the registration area ~

The couple's unique DIY photo gallery - they pasted their pictures at a paper plate and hanged it at the entrance area of UP Executive House ~

The couple's own version of their "JR & ABI Sweet Treats Station" ~

Once again, congratulations and best wishes Mr & Mrs JR and Abi Santos! It was a privilege working with 2 crazy yet cool, down to earth, generous and compassionate persons! God Bless!

Stars and Movies Debut Theme

2012-11-30T07:18:00.001-05:00

Last November 17, once again I was given the privilege by Amaranth Garden Venue to host their event - it was a debut event where the theme was all about Stars and Movies.

What was cool about the event was the debutante's idea and version of the ever famous "Hollywood Walk of Fame" where she and her family created their own version of the five pointed terrazzo and brass stars embedded in the venue's floor. You can see there the debutante's favorites from foreign actors, musicians, movies etc.

Like in the picture below where she created a star for her name and that of her favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger - very unique, right?

Aside from the hollywood walk of fame, the debutante also had new traditions incorporated in her celebration like the 18 Blue Bills where guests pinned P1,000 worth of money each to her gown while she is dancing together with her escort; there was also the 18 songs where each of her 18 chosen and talented friends gave a song rendition as their gift to her.

The unique celebration may also be attributed to the debutante's wit, intelligence and unique name ~ HANO-I

Thank you for the privilege and your stars and movies theme celebration marks the beginning of your journey to womanhood, happy birthday Hano-i!!!

Your Events at Parque Espana Residence Hotel

If you've visited 2 of the most popular hotels in Alabang area and might be thinking that booking an accommodation there might cause you to go over your budget, well then let me recommend Parque Espana Residence Hotel.

Parque Espana Residence Hotel combines the comforts of home with the convenience of a hotel. In fact many would say it as a very family oriented hotel because of its simple and children-friendly designs and facilities.

5 things you should know about Mang Boy Mahusay - Dangwa's foremost and talked-about florist!

2012-09-16T08:20:00.002-04:00

I first get to worked with him in 2007 and from there on he's one of those few florists I would recommend to my clients especially those looking for affordability yet quality and elegance in design.

There are 5 things that I'd often tell my clients so they can find Mang Boy easily at the busy streets of Dangwa and avoid those impostors/fake florist pretending they are him:

1. Look for his stall at Dangwa - Stall No. 16 - Jarielle Flowershop --> if he's not there, look for his ever reliable shadow/assistant Mang Jon;

2. He has an eye catching moustache and an evident rosary tatoo;

3. He's ever popular in W@W, I guess that's the reason why his receipts would include sort of a W@W symbol on it;

4. He will present you the list/distribution/ layout of flowers via his trademark Yellow Sheet Paper;

5. He's a very honest supplier and would make suggestions to his couple not to invest too much on flowers as they are the ones that would become colorless and wither at the end of the day (unless of course the couple would preserve it, which is another topic); aside from his honesty, he is very cool to talk, simple and a very funny guy.

So again, if you are looking for a competitive, quality and affordable flower supplier, no doubt I am recommending Mang Boy Mahusay.

I told you guys, he is funny - Mean and I had our photos taken with Mang Boy at the Bay Leaf Hotel and he said "kunyari ako si groom" hehehehe...

I told you he's one of those simplest florist in the industry ...

10 Unique Wedding Ideas, the Jhay-R & Vivian's Way

2012-09-05T09:47:00.000-04:00

August 25, 2012 was the beginning of rest of the lives of Jhay-R and Vivian. I had a wonderful time during their wedding as the ideas brought by the couple were unique and cool.

Their dressing venue was at the Cocoon Hotel, church venue at the Our Lady of Consolation Parish and reception venue at the Grand Terrace.

Based on my assessment, the couple brought 10 Unique Ideas during their wedding day (though I'm sure it's more than 10, but let me just stick to 10 for now **wink,wink**)

1. Sweet Treats as prize for the last table number called - the couple gave sweet treats/goodies (mini-toblerone, kitkat, kisses) to the last guest table called

2. DIY table numbers, VIP place cards etc.

3. DIY Couple caricature pasted on a board with matching straws and mini-banderitas as Cake Topper

4. Couple's coffee table with intricate designs - instead of the usual couple's table with table and tiffany chairs, the couple opted for a love seat and mini-coffee table in front and with pillows as designs

5. Couple's non-traditional bridal car - Beetle Limousine - usually bridal cars are Mercedes Benz, but this the couple opted for yes, a limousine but it is a Beetle Limousine

(with Cynthia - Bride's Assistant)

(Hencel posing at the Bridal Car)

6. a "Just Married" banner at the bridal car that was hang after the Recessional Ceremony in the Church

7. a "CELEBRATE" banner at the Couple's Cake Table - another DIY project of the Bride

8. a "J&V WEDDING" banner at the entrance area of Grand Terrace - instead of the usual tarpaulin placed at the entrance, the couple opted for a DIY banner

9. a DIY "JV" letters placed at the Gift Registry Table - my favorite!

10. a "Thumbmark" Signature Frame - instead of the usual Signature Frame where guests will write their names and messages, the couple had a thumbmark frame/canvass with a plain drawing of a tree and guests are encouraged to sign-off with their "thumbs" from the different pastel different colors at the registration area.

And let me present to you the couple behind those 10 Unique Wedding Ideas ... Mr & Mrs Jhay-R and Vivian Guzman with Your Events Team.

Best,
