Martin & Annalou's Wedding

I told you we really had a fun time planning this wedding. We had more laughs during this day than any other wedding day!!! Surely, we had a hearty good time most especially during the reception where in we brought the house down together with our coolness and sexiness host, Nikki! She surely knew what to say and how to engage the crowd and keep their attention to the programme. She can make a good fortune in hosting because of her innate "crowd" ability. She is a teacher by the way and the most cool in her batch.

So it's Martin and Annalou with the grapiks, gangster, cookie, senorita and the hot mess all in one shot = WACKY!!!!!!

Martin & Annalou's Wedding

I was browsing thru my library of pictures and saw this picture and smiled. I remembered during this time how thankful the mother of the bride was to me and the team for being there during the wedding, yet we really haven't started since we were just about to leave the bridal hotel at Holiday Inn Manila and leave for the church at Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish.


I've even thought of recording the mother's message to us just for posterity's sake. But I was too shy to even do it in front of her haha! Just kidding. Anyway, they are all here in our hearts and I am sure they will never forget us too for being there for them during the wedding.


More pictures to follow! Keep coming back :)

Martin & Annalou's Invitations

As told in my other posts, my husband, Allan, created a simple yet vibrant lavender/lilac      invitation for his cousin’s wedding in just a matter of 3 hours tops.   Oops make it 1 hour including the wordings and all.  Here is a sample of his work.

Jiggy's Graduation

A graduation is the mark of a new chapter and the end of the last one.  It’s always a well-anticipated event most especially for parents and the grandparents.  They are the ones who had worked very hard to keep this goal for you, the graduate.  You should be eternally grateful for them and for all their hardwork.

Joanna, my eldest niece just graduated from De La Salle University armed with her Educational Psychology course.  She has been helping me out for the past 3 years as an event coordinator too.  Her passion is in the fashion industry though and she hopes to make good at it.  A big diff from her chosen course but who’s to say that they don’t really match eh? Somehow, it will all connect, ayt, Jigs?!  So congratulations to you, Jigs!!!! Hats off! We are very proud of you!

Here’s the tarpaulin backdrop that I made for her during her graduation party.

Congrats, Jigs! Way to go! 

Lito & Trellie's Golden Wedding Anniversary

It’s a Golden wedding anniversary like no other of my good friend – Jenny’s parents! The guests and family danced the night away to great hits from the past to the present. This is one celebration we had fun coordinating and at the same had fun watching hehe! They had a very well-attended guestlist – not to forget, their families and relatives, the couple’s church groupmates, to class of ’57 of the Phil. Military Academy to their highschool friends. It was really a reunion of all sorts for the couple.

Check out the pictures from our cam by senoritamaemae. Black, white and red motif on everything. Mass was concelebrated by 3 different priests who are all good friends of the couple. Food & cake were prepared by Manila Catering. The guests were serenaded by Emil Quejada, one of the best singers I have ever heard, promise!  He was very much applauded during his last song.

Thank you, Lito & Trellie and especially to Jenny for trusting your event with us. We are happy to be part of this memorable celebration!

Message from Jenny via sms: ”Thanks so much Gang (that’s my nickname) and to the rest of the D.E.E.P. girls. You were such a big help.  Sa uulitin!

MA Wedding

Another express wedding in the making… with just 2 months to fully prepare.  Our good cousin, Martin married his first ever crush/barkada dating back to when they were just 2 years old!  Serendipity or just plain soulmates?

Much of the planning though was done by Annalou and Mart.  I helped them with all the suggestions and tips I can give.  Budget wedding or not, it was simply one of the happiest weddings we had not just because they are our relatives but because you can feel the love and the joy of each of their families.  It was also a reunion of sorts for the bride and groom!  Relatives from both sides came in from different locations in the country.

Since Mart and Anna had a hard time with their invitations for almost 2 weeks already.  Then my hubby, Allan, came in to the rescue!  He is, I must say, the best graphic designer I have ever met/seen/married!!! ever and to the highest level haha!!  :)   He finished the invitation in just 3 hours tops! We printed it out the next day and zoom…. Mart and anna distributed it to all the guests and entourage after just one day.  Hmm.. lilac and lavander invitation, looks very yummy too! 

An audio visual presentation was also made by none other than Mae, my talented sister-in-law whom we requested to do since we are swamped already with work and which she diligently complied.  It was a good video to watch depicting the couple’s love story.  The ending of it was their first ever picture together taken when they were still 2 years old and (guess what)  they were eating/sharing with each other a birthday cake!   That was how their “love story” started.  Isn’t that unique and dreamy?!

Our favorite family-friend priest, Msgr. Romy Ranada officiated the mass at his parish, Our Lady of Annunciation Parish wherein my father-in-law Grand Knight Papa Brice helped the couple with the church arrangements there since he was a great part of the parish’s committee since he and Msgr. have been uber-good friends from way back their Good Shepherd Cathedral days.

Everybody had a good time during the wedding with our well-prepared wedding programme hosted by none other than my another very talented sis-in-law, Nikki!  She is a very good host-in-the-making and would definitely get the crowd’s attention by her very witty spiels and her charm when speaking in front.  She was a very hands-on host and a young one at that!  :) For inquiries, please pm me.

Of course, another star of the day was the photobooth souvenirs that we booked for them.  I personally made the design of the photo card and included their cute caricature made by Bianca, Kevin’s girlfriend.  Take a look:

So to Martin and Annalou, again thank you for trusting us with your event.  We truly are happy to have helped you with your simple but fun and memorable wedding!  God bless you both!  God bless lavender weddings and family weddings!

Victor & Lynn's Wedding

Lynn and Victor were a couple who adored simplicity and elegance. Right from the very start they knew what they wanted and wanted it as precise as can be. Talk about OC Bride haha! But we had an easy time planning the wedding with her because she was the nicest OC bride I guess. Working in a very detail-oriented environment for a major banking institution in Manila and Singapore will really push you to strive for perfection. The couple were also a referral from our past client, Thet and Nino. Thank you for that referral Ms. Thet, we super owe you!

Wedding day came and we were blessed with such good weather considering there was a storm that week before. It was Independence Day too and there will be road closures along Roxas Blvd. We informed the guests of planning their rerouting schemes as enforced by MMDA. Good thing nobody from the entourage came in late. Everybody was very prompt in attendance. Such a wonderful crowd too.

A Starbucks pictorial was also in our itinerary after the wedding ceremonies. Good thing, the couple bought the photographers and us a nice frap to quench our thirst that day! Cool, right!
More pictorials happened at the helipad of this prestigious hotel and everyone was just there to have fun! We had a concise program with our Chinese-speaking host, Shanda. A surprise poem written by the father of the bride really melted everyone’s hearts as we all listened to his very poetic and lovely poem dedicated only to his daughter. It was like reading something out of a book of sonnets from some writer like Shakespeare or John Keats. Truly a memorable thing to give to your daughter as she weds. Now let me dry off my tears for now hehehe…

Thank you to Lynn and Victor for having us part of their princessy dream wedding event! God bless you both! God bless tiffany blue weddings!

Mike & Joy's Beach Wedding in Subic

Let me share with you some of our weddings/events handled in the past years.

“If you want to know how much I love you,count the waves” – Anonymous

This wedding was our most relaxed from all that’ve handled. But this was a wedding which we planned for only 2 months! That’s how “express” we are – ahem! Mickael, a French local but based in China called me up a few weeks into the wedding without anything but with just one thing – they both wanted to have a beach wedding but should be accessible to the bride’s family/guests coming in from Clark.

So there began the process of the tedious elimination of suppliers/venues that suited the budget and of course their preference. We underwent many initial trials with regards to the venue. It wasn’t really easy because there is limited time already and most of the venues that we like are booked. So we chanced upon the very hospitable The Lighthouse Marina Subic at SBFZ and viola! We already got a venue! Thanks to Ms. Jozen of The Lighthouse for being so accommodating with all my requests and for assisting me in and my team in this memorable occasion!!! For inquiries, please email me if you’d like to plan a Subic beach wedding.

I just hope there’d be more of this for us. Please pm me for more inquiries! 

Happy to be part of Mickael and Joy’s wedding! God bless beach weddings!
