REAL WEDDING: { IVAN & MIA }


--
In commemoration of our 8th year in the wedding industry, we are doing throw-back posts of our past weddings. This is one of the more memorable weddings we did back in December of 2009. Yes, that was 4 years ago but looking at these photos, it seems like we only worked on this event yesterday.

We have faint recollection of what had transpired during the day. Suffice to say that there was some kind of doubt at the beginning if we could deliver, concept wise. Back then, we were so new to the industry and we were hardly known. Adding to the pressure was the fact that the Groom's Mom was a florist who was then based in New York (yes, we were told that, too, for maximal effect). There was so much to consider and fret about. *sigh*

Come wedding day, we ended up spending an hour chatting with the Groom's Mom about flowers, the business, and the future. She was admiring the bouquet we made for her: white Lisianthus, succulents, and wild berries. Something she probably wouldn't have seen in a NYC wedding, but something that is uniquely Philippine (at least in aesthetic). You can surmise at this point that we've passed the test with flying colors and from that point onward, we haven't really felt fear again nor have we doubted ourselves and the things we can do.

Four years. So many lessons. We can't believe we've gone this far. We're very happy & thankful for brides - and Moms! - who have given us the chance to work with and for them. ^_^

REAL WEDDING: { KARYM & MABETH }

-- 
Not so sure why it took us so long to blog this and if we were simply waiting for the right time, but we honestly love this wedding to bits! We love it for the sweet & pretty details, and for the fellow suppliers that we got to work with. Kudos to photographer, Marky Cantalejo, for capturing everything so beautifully!      

This was also the first time that our craft team, {etc} handmade goodness, created a shell bouquet. It came with a shell boutonniere for Groom Karym, and a customized wedding cord made of sea-inspired charms. We also made a decoupage copy of their monogram. Very pretty and perfect for a beach setting!

Karym & Mabeth were the only couple we met to discuss items related to {etc}, and we've never done it again due to the seeming hesitation & doubt that anything creative can come from a big person like me (was just imagining this part, ha ha!), but we're very happy that everything turned out so well and as planned.

Special thanks goes to The Wedding Agency for bringing us into the team. All the best! ^_^
