A Wedding Coordinator's Happy Experience: The Big Show and the Super Heroes

Just want to share this with everyone - I'm done with the biggest event I had in August - last August 20, 2011 dubbed as the Big Show.

(Event Styling c/o my dear girlfriend and Gab's god mother - Ellaine)

The Big Show is a SUPER HERO THEMED PARTY.  As you can see with the main backdrop - the 3 super heroes:

• my dear sister Ryza aka WONDER RYZA (Wonder Woman)
• my handsome son Gab aka IRON GAB (Iron Man)
• my beautiful daughter Jaimee Pristine aka SUPER JAIMEE (Super baby)

Even the invitation (designed -graphics and layout by my brother Jeffrey) is all about super hero -

The party was made exciting, funny and enjoyable by magician/host SYMOND (c/o Polkadots Party Shop - Jhoanne Paris Henson) ... it was such an overwhelming feeling that all kids enjoyed the games, magic show and the ventriloquism done by Symond.

Not to mention about the game prizes, souvenirs and photobooth that was really hit with everyone!

And of course, what was so rewarding with this event are all the SMILES, LAUGHS, CAMARADERIE and BONDING MOMENTS that happened during this one of a kind celebration - 

Wedding Color Combinations

Last saturday I received an inquiry from one of my bride-client about her preferred wedding motif and what would be a complementary accent to it.. and as her wedding coordinator I gave my suggestion - the pros and cons.

So I did my research and hopefully the following wedding color combinations would help out my future bride in choosing their wedding color combinations - enjoy:

• Blue and White
• Emerald and Aqua
• Red and Aqua
• Blue and Silver
• Marigold and Pewter
• Pink and Gold
• Green and Brown
• Fuschia and Taupe
• Lilac and Brown
• Lavender and Red
• Pink and Copper
• Brown +Green+ Orange
• Light Pink and Black
• Purple and Blue
• Cranberry and Bold Pink
• Black and White and Green
• Light Pink and Brown
• Blue and White
• Red and Orange
• Green and Brown
• Orange and Brown
• Green and Purple
• Orange and Green
• Yellow and Orange
• Green and Pink
• Orange and Bright Pink
• Light Pink and Bright Pink
• Purple and Orange
• Green and Cream
• Lavender and Pink  
• Turquoise and Orange

 Below are sample pics of the color combinations-

And this one is my favorite color combination as well - Light Pink and Black - modern look but with a classic touch  (this is sooo nice, if I could redo my wedding in the future I'll go for this one Light Pink and Black - so refreshing)

But in the end, I always tell my bride there's no such thing as a perfect wedding color combination - as long as you're comfortable with the color, as long as it exude you and your groom's personality and as long as you're happy on your wedding day - that's what makes the color motif perfect.

Ocular Inspection at Makati Shangrila

Had an ocular inspection at Makati Shangrila yesterday and what can I say - talagang maganda, very elegant and classy talaga if you'll be having your wedding there. It would be my first time to coordinate a wedding here at Makati Shang and I am very excited (Matusalem-Vallestero Nuptials on February 15, 2010 wedding).

I was assisted by Ms. Avril Mariano - Events Manager of Makati Shang and very customer oriented and accommodating as she showed me Quezon Ballroom by accompanying me to the place and giving me suggestions of how to decorate the place.

My client Michelle (who's a very cool soon-t0-be bride by the way) will be having her wedding reception at Makati Shang and I need to check how big is Quezon Ballroom and what style can be incorporated with it.

The Quezon Ballroom has a 375 pax capacity - however Michelle's guests would comprises of 150 pax only, so we are thinking of what other things to include in the Ballroom (like photobooth, photo gallery of the couple etc.)

The Quezon Ballroom has a center foyer and low ceiling area so we really need to conceptualize how to make it more elegant and how the foyer will not distract the guests nor make it the center of attention in the venue.

Thank God, I'll be attending the free career enhancement seminar of Themes & Motifs on July 28 at PICC Forum, CCP Complex. One of the seminar is about Events Styling and the presentor will be Mr. Henry Pascual (whew! I am sooo excited to see him conduct lecture about event styling and learn new ideas for him). And hopefully through that seminar it will give me ideas how to event style the Quezon Ballroom.
