Featured Wedding: Januar and Christilene

Every wedding begins with the meeting of a boy and a girl and eventually falling in love later on. There are many couples who have been in a relationship for a decade, others for a month before they have decided to take the road to forever.

As a witness to so many weddings and hearing their stories of love, I have come to believe that strong relationships are built on so many aspects but most what baffles me the most is the role of Time in proving the kind of love that a person has for the other. Truly, I must say, only Time knows the value of Love.


A Very Long Engagement- er Story of Love

About a month ago, a couple asked me to handle their Day-of Wedding Coordination. Their love story was one remarkable of all time. If you believe in Destiny, then you'd surely get a dose of destiny with the kind of journey they had.

Backstage. Their first meal as husband and wife.

Christilene and Januar have been friends since their teen years but their relationship started about a decade later when they were already in their mid 20's. They asked for signs from the universe, waited for the right timing, listened to their counselors and advisers and sought for the desires of their being before they entered the romantic relationship. They first discerned and developed their personal strengths before realizing they were right for each other. One day, when the universe has aligned the stars, the moon and the perfect moment, they finally have the chance to get to know each other giving way to the process of falling in love. If it is not so cliche to say, i'd say they went through the test of time.


THE BIG DAY

Then came their wedding day - about a decade since their first meeting. March 19, 2016, Saturday was the day that the universe set for them to finally tie the knot and pronounce forever and promises. Their wedding day was simple, solemn and extremely beautiful. As with many weddings, families and friends gathered to celebrate their big day. Everyone came with a glad heart all throughout the day. It was a fantastic ambiance of love, friendship and beautiful people.

Pastor Felix Carsano of the Assemblies of God Church Ministries made the ceremony so meaningful with his sermon about true love.

The venue for their ceremony and reception was held at Venue 88 Dome 1, General Santos City. They chose the theme winter wonderland with navy blue and yellow as the wedding color. People gladly obliged to wear the motif.

The orchestration of the entire event set up and decorations was headed by Gensan's most sought after wedding florist and stylist, Mr. Rolly Jagonob. This beautiful event was captured and preserved by the team of photographers of The Walking Eyes Photography.

  

Other wedding suppliers contributed to help make this event memorable. The hair and makeup team was led by Kim Soriano. And without a doubt, truly the bride was blushing and glowing all throughout their wedding day.

Weddings are a beautiful way to celebrate love and commitment. I believe that the best of weddings are a collaboration of the bride, groom, families of both sides and different people to make the event exceptional and meaningful. 

Januar and Christilene Wedding was a simple but extremely beautiful wedding event because the people that made it so. There was so much love, laughter, happy emotions and happy people celebrating the day.

To Januar and Christilene, thank you for making my team a part of your beautiful story of love and marriage!

Popular Wedding Trends 2015

Wedding trends vary every year. Different styles for different times. Once, the Cinderella ball gown is the most in demand style of wedding gown. Then as the century turns, slimmer and body-hugging wedding gowns emerged. Wedding motif and themes have also developed throughout the decades. Most brides in the 90's plan their own wedding without the help of a wedding planner. But today, most brides and surprisingly, hands on grooms are very particular with their ideal weddings. Today, weddings range from the most classical to the most uniquely bizarre ideas to date.


Wedding Colors

Among the colors most chosen by brides, nothing beats the popularity of peaches and pinks. This soft color spells out elegance and tenderness combined. Brides prefer this color because of its feminine appeal and classical feel.

Wedding Decorations

True indeed, you can't go wrong with the most popular wedding color of all time. As with the color, so with the wedding decorations. Flowers are just as important as the wedding dress. The set up and design of wedding trends are moving to a more classical era reviving the Victorian essence with the combination of rustic elements specifically the candles. This year's most in demand wedding theme is the Rustic-Shabby Chic-Victorian Era theme. 

Not surprising enough, wedding decorating with candles have been on the rise. There is a growing trend on wedding decorations using only candles. Yes, without the flowers that is. Now, that would look like this:

I think it would be very romantic to see these gorgeous candles all lighted up during the dinner reception! I would love to design a wedding with this kind of concept!

Wedding Gowns

Ah well, THE DRESS! This is probably the most well researched, most sought after, most thought-of aspect of the wedding. Dresses now are centered on the details. The more beadwork and stonework on the dress, the more brides will dive for it! Laces and embroideries have never gone out of style, but this time, this timeless piece of detail has probably taken the spotlight. More and more brides opt for laces all over their wedding gown.

Lace is timeless. It is elegance. It is classic. It is beauty. It is forever. It is probably THE DRESS for every bride. The dress you choose will depict the kind of personality you have. If you choose lace, you must value high end style and highest quality of its kind. You can never go wrong with a lace wedding gown.

There you have it the pressing matters of planning a wedding. These 3 elements of a wedding make a wedding stand out along with some other aspects. Filipino weddings are as up to date as the western weddings could be. Philippine wedding trends are gaining inspirations from different wedding trends around the world.
