Stars and Movies Debut Theme

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!!!

Best,

Backdrop design in Island Cove Aguinaldo Venue

Had a wedding last November 24 in Island Cove Aguinaldo Venue and got attracted with this simple, minimalistic couple's backdrop.

10 for 1 at T.A and Chin's Wedding

You might be wondering why my post was titled "10 for 1 at T.A. and Chin's Wedding".  Well this is to recognize 10 suppliers who were given the opportunity by T.A. and Chin to work in 1 day on April 22 as their wedding suppliers thus 10 FOR 1 ... cool eh?

It's always exciting and easy to work with wedding suppliers you've worked for the nth time not to mention that my team is always honored to be with them on each of my couple's wedding date.

During my couple's T.A. and Chin Mangulabnan's wedding last April 22, 2012, our team once again had the opportunity to work with the best of the best wedding suppliers that the industry has to offer.

1.  Dressing Venue was at the Astoria Plaza

2.  Their Hair and Make Up Artist (HMUA) was Val Villarin

3.  Chin's gown was designed by Ammon Velasco

4.  Church Ceremony took place at Santuario De San Jose Greenhills and Reception Program was celebrated at the Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club Banquet AB Venue

5.Their food was provided by Via Mare Catering

6.  Lights and Sounds were covered by RejectKrew and was taken care of by Kumpareng Elmer

7.  Photography and Videography were provided by East Digital Studio

Picture was taken from the couple's guestbook

8.  The couples cake and cupcakes were taken care of by Vienna Cakes

9.  The event was made memorable by no other than my favorite emcee Mallory Ferrer-Cosio 

 

10.  And of course, Coordination Services handled by my team Your Events

Well after the event, it was just kulitan and bonding time with the couple, Elmer (Rejectkrew) and Arnol (East Digital).

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!

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

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,
