REAL WEDDING: { JONARD & CATHY }

-- 

While scanning our post lists, we accidentally discovered that this wedding from 2013 was still on Draft mode, which is really odd since it has been featured in three other wedding websites before. We really loved this wedding for its simplicity, color scheme, and choice of location. Their photographer, We Do It For Love, has really brought out the subtlety of greens long before 'Greenery' became popular. And Old Manila was just the perfect backdrop for this event: there's history, culture, and elegance in equal measure befitting a former beauty queen (Bride Cathy was Ms. Philippines-Earth in 2006). Truly, titles may come and go, but the beauty and goodness of the person who won the crown will live on forever. Again, Congratulations & Best Wishes, Jonard & Cathy! Thank you for making us a part of your special day. ^_^

REAL WEDDING: { JUSTIN GERALD & KIRSTIE IDA } MANILA

-- 

Today, we're sharing a really awesome wedding! It started with the colour scheme: Apricot, Coral, Salmon, Baby Pink, and Peach + a 'Vintage Travel' theme and what do you get? Total awesomeness! 

From the small, handmade details (do check out the super adorable cloud-shaped map boutonnieres!) to that jaw-dropping reception setup, it's obvious that Justin and Kirstie have really put a lot of thought into their event. Despite the tremendous effort, however, it didn't feel over the top at all. It still has that laid-back charm and elegance that we continually aspire for in Philippine weddings. 

It helped a lot, too, that their day was beautifully captured by no other than Ryan Ortega. We hope you get inspired by this post, dear readers! ^_^
