At the center of it all, is the most important floral arrangement of any wedding,
the bridal bouquet.

The bridal bouquet is not just a simple bridal accessory but one of the most essential parts of a bride’s entire ensemble. After
all, as a bride, you have to carry it all day long. Plus, it’s something you will cherish for a lifetime. Therefore, your bridal
bouquet must be something special and must suit you in every way.

Choosing a bridal bouquet can be a daunting task though. If you’re looking for some ideas, check out the beautiful, romantic and

Of course, part of a bride’s look is the perfect bridal gown. But, her hair and make-up are also of utmost importance in showcasing her bridal beauty. Hiring the best Hair and Make-Up Artist (HMUA) then is key!

Bridal Blurbs: Planning a Millennial Wedding in a Traditional Environment

I have attended a few weddings as a child; almost all of these were as a flower girl. There was one wedding I remember every bit of detail—shiny, puffy-sleeved bridal gown with colorful trimmings, teased bridal hair, and the grand entrance of the couple with swords and flames and, uh, a marching band? My flower girl attire was a beautiful satin gown with semi-puffed sleeves and little flowers on my chest, and oh boy that dress made me itch so much!

That’s ’90s wedding for you, from a six-year-old flower girl’s perspective.I never thought about how my wedding will look, how I want my wedding dress, or what decors to have until I opened a Pinterest account in 2011. All I knew about weddings back then were the traditions that came with it and its significance in legally binding a relationship between a man and a woman, and more recently, between two individuals regardless of gender.

It would be fitting to call our wedding a millennial wedding. I would like to define it as a wedding custom-fit for the couple, cutting out “unnecessary” traditions and keeping ones that matter, and adding a touch of technology, current trends, and the personalities of the bride and groom.

Wedding planning is crazy, and it’s more cray to arrange a millennial wedding around Filipino wedding traditions most people are accustomed to. Sure, there will always be couples who will opt for a cookie-cutter type of wedding, but there are a number of couples who will veer away from traditions, or at the very least, will only pick the relevant ones to respect the culture they are in as homage to history and tradition, whether it’s a family or a cultural thing. Some couples may even describe it as a tug-of-war between them and their very traditional parents and/or relatives who may insist on doing things the way they did it in the past because it worked for them and it should work for the couple as well.

What makes a millennial wedding? Is it really required nowadays to subscribe to the modern way of planning a wedding, or do we just go the traditional way of doing things? Let’s break it down, shall we?

Traditional Invites vs. E-Invites

It is customary that couple who are planning to wed to send our invites at least three weeks before the wedding. Those who have been invited to weddings in the past years may have received physical invitations with embossed flowers and actual ribbons on shiny, scented paper, with quotes from the bride and groom printed somewhere on the invite. That would be enough back then, but nowadays, engaged couples have the option to send out save-the-date cards a year before the wedding, followed by the formal invite. The formal invite, depending on the couple’s preference or budget, may be printed out or sent digitally through e-mail or posted on the couple’s preferred events page platform. Some couples, on the other hand, opt to just send soft copies of their wedding invites online, saving on printing and mailing costs.

Wedding Communications

Phone calls and broadsheet publications are still the best way to announce a couple’s engagement. I still remember when I was younger, I would check my parents’ favorite newspaper for newly-married and affianced couples and I thought it was cool to have your wedding announced through that medium. But you know, as I grew older, my plans changed with what’s #trending, so I announced our engagement on Facebook and Instagram just hours after I was given the ring—well, that’s because both our families knew my then-boyfriend-now-husband was going to propose on that day!

Apart from our Facebook event page, we also made a website that contained maps, venue information, and some more details that will help them get around and be comfortable on our wedding. Digital media is a very effective tool to communicate with guests, entourage, and even suppliers, and relay important messages that may be useful on the wedding day.

Because of technological advancements, couples will not have a hard time collecting photos from friends and family post-event. Couples can get extra creative by utilizing hashtags for their event. Say, if a couple named Joey and Doris are getting married this year, they may use the hashtags #JoeyMayNowKissDoris2017, or something more witty or catchy. Hashtags included in the caption make it easy for newlyweds to see moments captured on their special day by friends.

Bespoke wedding

My husband and I made do with very few traditions. We made sure that we had the pamamanhikan before everything was cast in stone. I followed the customary something blue, something new, something borrowed, and something old, no pearl earrings on wedding day, and to have flowers in church no matter how bloody expensive it was to get from the lone accredited supplier! Despite those, we did not have a dove release ceremony because we thought it was cheesy. No bouquet and garter throwing because we don’t want only the single guests to have fun; instead, we had a Minute-to-Win-it inspired game so that everyone, including married and very young guests can enjoy! I also wore a champagne-colored gown instead of a labang-Tide white because I feel that it doesn’t fit my personality and body type!

Some people may say that you won’t lose anything if you follow traditions or superstitions, but if practicality or your personal values reigns over it, by all means, go against it. For example, brides are told not to wear their wedding gown prior to their wedding. What if the bride booked a couturier with zero professional background and receives a gown that doesn’t fit? What if the bride suddenly contracts an illness that may cause her to bloat or lose a tremendous amount of weight? Consider the risks you will be taking should you decide to follow such pamahiins, and know your options before submitting yourself to or against it.

But in every wedding–be it a very traditional one or a modern-day millennial wedding–we should not forget the love between us and our respective partners, and the beautiful lives we are to live together, for better and for worse, forever and ever.

Kaye Abad and Paul Jake Castillo’s Behind-The-Scenes and Official Wedding Pics – My Story

One of the sweetest ones I’ve witnessed.

The Cebu wedding though had a lot of guests (900 pax!) still felt intimate. The festivities started as early as the day before the wedding, when guests started coming in from manila and all over the world.

Dec 8, the night before the wedding we had an impromptu get together at the bridal suite of the bride, Kaye. It was a sweet moment seeing Kaye bond with her closest best friends and family during the last night as a single woman.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”http://weddingsatwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/PaulJakeandKayeWedding1.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=”” class=”aligncenter”][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]The day of the wedding, we were all busy and up and about by 8:30 am.

You can check out the special video about the 2017 collection made by wedding videographer Jason Magbanua here.

What is the story behind the concept of each RTW dress?

You know whenever I work on a wedding gown design I always draw inspiration from the bride because it is imperative that I show her character thru her dress. It is different with RTW dresses since I do not have a specific bride. So I draw inspiration from the essence of being a bride. What it means to be one, the joy, the excitement, the changes that will happen. Basically the girl in that stage of her life. I guess it is not that difficult because I’ve been there so I can totally get her 😛

As always, I want my brides to relate to the dress. Each dress I make cater to a certain character. I want the bride to see herself in the dress that she will choose. Of course, considering her figure, her age and the silhouette that will flatter her the most. [/cs_text][cs_text]

Are you the first designer who did this in wedding?

I really do not know. My very first collection was for 2013 but Rene, my husband, and I started forming the idea in 2011.

Back then, I was getting a lot of inquiries from overseas brides and stockists, most of them clamoring for basically the same designs. And those designs I cannot repeat since those were custom dresses. I was also getting a lot of requests for lower priced gowns: I was getting more than 30 inquiries a day, working on so many dresses too, and I am losing my time for my family. I have 4 growing kids and I need more time.

So creating an RTW line was the most logical idea. I can address the overseas brides and the stockists with designs that we can replicate. And the concept wasn’t new to them. I actually didn’t intend before to offer it here because why would I? I love that brides here can get custom dresses from the neighborhood modista or from tight-lipped high profile designers and wear a dress specially made for them. I didn’t want to change that culture.

But then, when I was done with the very first set, I thought why wouldn’t I offer it to local brides. Parang nakakahiya naman. Ang snob?!? Hahaha! So we did! And I am continuously floored with the response that we’re getting from local brides. I am beyond grateful. [/cs_text][cs_text]

How many pieces per collection? Any science behind it?

8 or 9 per year, no science behind it. I design and create as I see fit, every dress well thought off. With the current market/demand I aim to serve, I think 8 or 9 as new options are enough. Especially since the dresses from the past years are still available. 🙂

What is the process, what comes first? fabrics? design? name?

Usually I think of a detail or a design element that I want to work on. Then I choose the materials that I think will be perfect in achieving the look that I want.

How do you name them?

Of course it started with the girls and ladies in my life. I still have more than a handful of those really close to me whose names I haven’t used. I look at a dress and name her based on how it looks. The character of the name and the dress should match perfectly.

There are times that I lose myself in the process though at yun ang mahirap! Hahaha! Best example, my Mom! I’ve wanted, for the longest time, to name a dress after her but I always end up saying “hindi sya yan eh! Lace mom ko, collared, classic crisp skirt!” Ahahaha! Pinersonal?[/cs_text][cs_text]

You have a favorite?

A lot! But I will only name two 🙂

BITHIA from the 1st collection. I named it after my daughter. It was the simplest from that batch. Plain top just delicate lace on the lining’s neckline, no back detail which was all the craze then along with heavily textured skirts, instead the beading was just on the waist, layered tulle skirt, sans embellishments too. That was exactly how I saw her at the time I designed that dress – not fussy at all, simple but not boring, sweet yet unconforming. Not that I can see her as a bride na ha! No way please! But her character inspired me 🙂

And the VIVIAN gown, my best seller up to now! This enthralls me no end because it is also the very first one I sketched the minute we decided we will push thru with our RTW line. [/cs_text][cs_text]

Since this is RTW do you allow the bride to pick a design even if there’s another one that could be better on her?

Fortunately more often than not, the brides can easily “read” the dress. They see the character it evokes. They can decide if the dress is them or not. More often than not, the concern is the figure. We usually ask which one she fancies, then we check her figure if the design will work for her figure. If it won’t, we suggest other styles that will compliment her best.

There was one instance that one bride was so insistent on a particular dress that I was 100% sure won’t work given her figure. I let her try on the fitting garments with the silhouette that she wanted and the silhouette I want, and she saw the difference. Buti na lang! Haha! Otherwise, I won’t sell her what she wanted. I always want the best for them. Why would I allow her to look hideous di ba? I want her to look her best wearing our dress! [/cs_text][cs_text]

How involved are you with RTW clients?

Oh I have trained my assistants to identify figures, but for those that I wasn’t able to meet in person, whether overseas or Manila-based, I ask for full length pictures of the brides wearing tight fitting shirts. That way I can identify the gowns that will compliment them the most. I check all the fitting pictures too, and of course, the overall workmanship. [/cs_text][cs_text]

Did the onslaught of RTW line of other designer flatter you or infuriate you?

You know, I try my best, nah, I try my darnest not to look at other people’s work as something related to me or to my work because I refuse to be peppered with negative thoughts. RTW is the norm overseas and we do have a lot of overseas Filipino workers who are somehow familiar with the system. Coupled with designer horror stories locally, I think the growth of RTW here is not that surprising. It took us more than a year to perfect the system – from the meas, fittings, to the finishes, construction, etc. I had my good reasons when I started this RTW line and I am sure they have too. It is what it is, we just have to consistently improve our craft, swim with the current flow and hopefully get our fair share. Happy thoughts lang lagi! Hahaha! [/cs_text][cs_text]

WaW Bridal Fashion: More To Love

[cs_content][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]A few weeks back, I received a request from one of my readers to write something about plus-sized women and bridal fashion. A friend commented that this is a unique request but I actually think the opposite: being “plus-sized” is more common than we think. Sure, I have a lot of brides who vow to lose 10-15 lbs before their big day and mind you, they stay true to their word. But there are also those who prefer to be the same girl that their fiance proposed to, curves and all and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is a fine way to celebrate one’s natural shape. I do, however, believe that curvy women can look more fabulous if they just keep in mind the following:

Mind the cut

I have said this over and over again, it is more important to find a silhouette that suits you than to keep up with the trends. Whether you’re stick-thin or on the healthier side, you will always benefit from wearing a gown with a flattering cut. Have an enviable hour-glass figure? Make sure the gown is cinched at the waist. Short-waisted? Try an empire cut. Pear-shaped? Go for a structured skirt. No matter what your size OR shape is, you can always find a cut that will serve you.

Highlight your assets

“Tito Boy, please hide (insert body part here), ang taba ko kasi,” is a request I oftentimes hear from my clients. There is nothing wrong with knowing your flaws so you may hide them but don’t be so hard on yourself. Make sure you also know your assets so your coutourier may highlight them. No bride should ever have to walk down the aisle wearing something that resembles a burlap sack. As a wedding gown designer, I may point out positive areas which your gown may accentuate but unless you know these yourself, you will never be comfortable highlighting them. See the beauty in you and others will see it too.

Be honest

Treat your couturier as your best friend. Do not trim numbers off your measurements as we will find out sooner or later. I think I speak for everyone in the wedding industry when I say that suppliers are in this business for the look of joy that is evident in their client’s face on their wedding day. Let us help you celebrate your big day and let’s start off on an honest footing. In the same token, be authentic enough to tell your couturier if you are not comfortable with the ideas he has for your dress or if you are no longer seeing eye to eye.

Prepare yourself for lots and lots of fittings

As the wedding day approaches, some of my brides drop weight in alarming rates and they are not even consciously on a diet. Please do not think your designer is being a pain in the neck if he insists on having you do many fittings. This is the only way to ensure that your gown will fit you perfectly.

….And the most important tip of them all:

Have fun! It is YOUR day, and just like all other brides, you will look radiant. Let your happiness shine through.

WAW Wedding Tip Sheet: Anatomy of an Evening Wedding

What’s the usual timeline? Let’s tackle the 7PM ceremony time since a lot of churches reserve their 6PM slot for angelus, the rosary, and a public mass.

a) If you’re not getting a peak date, you might be able to get away with just checking in early and booking your rooms for just a night instead of the usual 2 nights of other time slots.

b) People might be willing to go to your ceremony and reception even if it’s a week night because they can still go to work for half the day or even the whole day then just go to your event after work/school. (Staying on and finishing the programme might be a different story though, especially if the next day is a school/work day.)

c) This time slot is good for those who want intimate weddings. Since it’s not a common time slot, the couple can invite only those who are really close to them — the kind who would be willing to sacrifice and sleep late.

d) You can request people to wear formal attire and even jewel toned hues since you’re having an evening affair. (However, do note that you will need to spend as well for the formality of the attire of your entourage due to the time slot.)

e) If you want a fireworks display, this would be the perfect time slot. You can have it before people enter the venue, i.e. during cocktails, since you don’t need to wait for darkness.

f) You don’t really need to prepare for after party or have a band since you aren’t expecting a lot to stay beyond programme time. However, do check if yours is a crowd that parties till the wee hours. Then you’d have to prepare alcoholic drinks and at the least, a DJ who will keep the music going.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”http://weddingsatwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/AnatomyofanEveningWedding4.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]What do you need to prepare for?

a) Hunger… Some might not have taken their snacks to get to your wedding on time or if it’s a week day, they may have rushed through office/school work foregoing meals just to make it on time, so you do need to provide substantial food during cocktail hour. Note also that cocktail hour is also past dinner time already since your ceremony happened during dinner time. It’s a good idea to talk to your caterer re: opening the soup and salad area or a particular food station so people will be willing to wait for the main meal without getting cranky. If you’re having a hotel reception, you can opt for sit down service and request that the first course be served even before the official start of programme, just so people have something to tide them over beyond the usual nuts and chips during cocktails.

b) Shorter pictorials after ceremony… Since people are waiting and it’s late, you will not have the luxury of having time for pictorials. Also, you won’t have natural light. So, it might be a good idea to have a “first look” type of pictorial prior to the ceremony — only if your parents will allow you to be less traditional, i.e. you will see your groom already prior to the walk down the aisle. This will help in terms of lessening the waiting time of guests.

c) Since it’s not the usual type of time slot, you will need to hire really efficient suppliers since you will not have much room for schedule errors. Even the onsite photo/video editor needs to be the type who can finish quickly without sacrificing quality. That way, no need to stall or needlessly lengthen the programme just to wait for the said AVPs.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”http://weddingsatwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/AnatomyofanEveningWedding1.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]Bottomline:

No other time slot demands sticking to the schedule and being quick than an evening wedding. There is hardly any room for error and for tardiness as well as their domino effects, so it’s imperative to hire efficient suppliers and invite only those who really love you enough to adjust to the rigors of this time slot.

Winter Wonder NaW

(Editor’s note: They were once WaWies – blushing brides about to commit their lives to the men of their dreams. Fast forward to the present, they come across as well-seasoned in marriage. They’re happy moms and fulfilled wives; some of them are even breastfeeding champs!)

Christmas always triumphs in getting people together. All year long we get busy with our lives, running households, taking care of the children, minding businesses, going to work. Staying in touch is pretty much limited to social media interactions. So when Christmas bells ring to gather friends and family, members of the NewlywedsAtWork don’t think twice about answering the call!

Held at the Camp Crame Multi-Purpose Hall last November 29, 2015, the NaW Christmas party welcomed 196 Nawies, 115 kids, 32 infants and 42 yayas.

w@w first

Dubbed the “Winter Wonder NaW”, members pulled all the stops to make this year’s party a truly magical and memorable one for parents and kids alike. Spearheading the preps were NaWie Apple Cabel of Yan-Ple Party Planner, Jenki Galindo-Fernando who took care of the registration and NaW pioneer member Veronica Alcaneses-Pantig for securing the venue. All the NaWies who attended pitched together for foodcarts and activities. Eats Happy provided the kiddie meals while Daniel Talavera, brother of NaWie Clarice Talavera-Avinante, gamely took the photos.

As with any party, it’s the kids who reap the most. NaWie kids had a wonderful time this year. Game after game engaged the kids all afternoon.

In the NaWie world, relationships are built and nurtured online. Daily chats happen on Yahoo and Facebook groups. Hourly updates are commonplace on the NaWie virtual community. But few and far in between are real life interactions with fellow NaWies. And this is the main reason why NaWies look forward to the annual Christmas party with such eagerness. The camaraderie and sisterhood that have grown on the web suddenly become actual experiences. Virtual smileys become beautiful and genuine smiles. Hugs are now tangible touches. Even hellos have voices.  Gone are the little round yellow grinning emoticons. In its place are real faces, real smiles that come from the heart.

May Mislang-Estaban with hubby Kim and Keith

May Mislang-Esteban, wife to Kim and mom to toddler Keith, looks forward to the “personal chikahan with my cyber friends” while for Jenki the best part of the NaW Christmas party is “seeing the faces behind the names, meeting new friends and those gigil babiesss! Feeling ko may anak na din ako sa dami ng kids!”

It’s a merry mixture of emotions – like greeting a long lost friend or seeing a sister after a long absence.

The bond that keeps NaWies intact is one-of-a-kind. The friendship among former WaWies who bonded together for a short while to prepare for their weddings has moved into another level. In this Mommy groupie, conversations take on a different nature like starting a family, being first time Moms, breastfeeding plus the highs and lows of married life. For Tin, wife to Marvin and mom to Mazie, NaW is better than Google. You get intelligent in sights and various opinions from people from different backgrounds. What sets it apart is that there is always respect among all members.”   

Whatever the discussions are, no matter how numerous and branched out the threads will eventually become on NaW, no one ever gets lost because everyone has a place in this community. Every story and question is heard by someone. There is always a NaWie who will understand what you are going through. Because of the natural cycle of the community – a new member is continuously added while all those who came before her never leave – the sharing just becomes richer and richer with each passing day. An advice never grows old as there is always someone who is experiencing something for the first time. For those who have been there and have made it, the desire to impart the knowledge is strong.

Tin adds, “Iba yung insight that I get from NaW eh kasi everyone is so open. You feel their pain, their happiness and their frustrations, their kilig so you all know na may kadamay ka with whatever is going on in your life and the best part is they “GET” whatever it is that you feel.”

The beauty of bring a NaWie is you never ever graduate from this. As a wife and as a mom, the roles are for keeps. Just like the friendships here.

NaW endures because of authentic kindness and love that abound. Here everyone feels safe. A listening ear, a sound advice, a gentle pat on the back, unrepentant laughter and genuine friendship flow effortlessly. Most important of all the focus is on building a loving and caring family. In NaW, you’ll meet your friends for life.
