Lavender Loca: The Calm Box Perfect for Every Tita or Mommy Me Time ❤️
Basking in the glory of my early 30s years, I must admit I now enjoy anything “tita” or “momshy”. 😎 Thanks to the ingenuity of millennial moms and titas for making such things as aromatherapy and meditation look so cool and chic. You see, there’s nothing terrifying about being “lampas sa kalendaryo” nowadays. 💃🏻 One…
Lhiezle Creatives Makeup Artistry
Want to know one of my weaknesses? It’s honestly my inability to do my own make-up. 🤦🏻♀️ As I don’t want to get stressed whenever I need to attend a social event or a photo shoot, I often opt to seek the help of an expert — the hair and makeup artist aka HMUA. 💄 And…
Hours before our wedding
In my carefree and confusing quarter-life-crisis days, I worked as a part time wedding coordinator whose main JD was to be the bride’s shadow — follow the bride wherever she goes and offer her a helping hand. Back then, I would arrange every bride’s long train, hold their bouquets for them, hand them tissue to…
Wedding Gown by Desino Dulce
Every bride has her own dream wedding gown. Some want big and fluffy ball gowns, while others prefer the sexy mermaid cut gown. Some would die for Vera Wang’s iconic wedding dresses, and some would happily buy ready-to-wear (RTW) gowns from simple bridal shops. Regardless of the style and the maker of their gowns, I…
Parish of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Our hearts were united and blessed at the Parish of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary (PHJM). 🙂 From our list of Quezon City-based church options that included Mt. Carmel Shrine in New Manila, Sta. Rita de Cascia Church inside Philam Homes and Our Lady of Consolation Parish inside Mira Nila Homes, fiance and I…

To make our wedding preps easier, we decided to select venues where Richgold Weddings is an accredited caterer. Our reception venue options were Elements at Centris in Quezon City, The Glass Garden in Pasig, Le Pavillion…
Richgold Weddings
Since I worked as a part-time wedding coordinator when I was 22, I had the opportunity to learn about different suppliers in the wedding industry even before I got engaged. One of my “dream” suppliers was the burgeoning caterer Richgold Weddings. What made me interested in Richgold was the elegant and modern event styling on…
Wedding Hair and Make Up by Jammy Villas
Since I’m not a make-up junkie, the last supplier I thought about for our wedding is a hair and make-up artist (HMUA in the world of wedding preps). “Oh really, do I need one?” was my initial thought whenever someone would inquire about the make-up artist I booked for the wedding. But despite my manang…
DIY Wedding Invitations
Aside from our DIY entourage bouquets and boutonnieres, I was able to finish one more DIY project for our wedding – our wedding invites! 🙂 I composed the wordings and did the layout. Thanks to our photo editing buddy, Adobe Photoshop! 🙂 As per the advice of my sis-in-law, we had the invites printed by…
DIY Origami Bouquets and Boutonnieres for Entourage
The frustrated craftsperson that I was, I forced myself to have even just one do-it-yourself (DIY) project for our wedding. So I thought of doing origami bouquets and boutonnieres for our entourage. Not only would it save us money, it would also be an opportunity for me, the “feeling” romantic bride, to do something personal,…
My Not so Wholesome Bridal Shower by Girl Friends
Other than the wholesome and refined tea party bridal shower organized by my sisters-in-law, I also experienced the typical “not so wholesome” bridal shower. Thanks to my naughty bestfriend Ainah for the concept! 🙂 With a kinky cake and room design, my female highschool friends pushed through with their crazy idea of teasing me before…
