Now for the most awaited part of any wedding — the reception! (Hey, who doesn’t love buffet food? :p) This is the part where Ge and I could have gone on a serious face stroke for too much smiling in compulsory ‘official’ group photos (formal and wacky), the part where…

Both Ge and I have laidback personalities, so we knew from the start that we want our wedding to reflect who we are in a casual yet classy way. Nothing too fancy, with the idea that everyone’s having a good time. We also want our guests to feel at ease…

The first time I saw these photos, I can’t believe it was shot under a gloomy weather. Thanks to Jaja’s exquisite eye for photography, the amount of light was just right and some photos even had that countryside aura. I am naturally inclined to soft colors, landscape and laidback feel…

For You

Feb 13, 2015
by Melai

It’s Valentines night and what makes this special is I know I’ll come home to a man who truly, madly, deeply loves me for me. Yiheee! We’d curl up in bed and have an Arrow/Flash/Grey’s Anatomy night in, while munching on takeout cheese sticks and honey roasted wings. My fairy-tale…

We wanted our wedding day to be a thanksgiving celebration for our dearest family and friends, and for it to be less about us, and more about the love and grace that we have received through the years. And yes, that’s just what happened! I thank God for His overwhelming…

I used to dream of a wedding in San Agustin Church and a reception in a hotel. I don’t know when my preference completely changed but now, we’re on to an outdoor wedding. Garden wedding specifically. As mentioned in another post about our Mood Board, we wanted a casual and…

I LOVE creating mood boards. I went through the detailed process of research, layout and editing in Photoshop to come up with an overall look of our wedding. I enjoyed it too much I think I made one for all the different elements we’re working on. Haha! So how’s the…

We’re both still “high” and in love! Yes!
