Jonas and Emma Grace (both geologists) are so much fun to work with. From the moment I met them, I knew their wedding will be special. From our initial meeting, we talked about the invitation being old world and what best way to show that by printing the invitation on an old MAP. it tooks months to come up with the invitation - I presented them with different artwork and fonts, Jonas had to burn the edges (all three of those inserts!) and I had to write all the names by hand. But it worked. And it was worthwhile.

Meanwhile, Emma Grace and I talked about flowers and how I’ve envisioned white over brown, and hers a stand-out red bouquet over others. I’m glad for her trust and how it worked out.

The wedding has been more than a month old already, but the friendship we made definitely is for keeps.

Congrats Jonas and Emma Grace!

It’s all in the details! And I love how Mimi was able to pull off her shabby chic wedding

Some very fine Shabby Chic details:
- The locket with Mimi and Mimi’d dad picture in it, attached to the bouquet
- the rose print on the ribbon handles
- the cone which had a shabby chic print
- the invitation itself

I also love the gowns!!! Mimi’s is Pina with such feminine ruffles! It suits her to a T! And the entourage gowns was very very chic and well made!!! (All the gowns by Sasha Clothing - owned by Mimi!)

Congrats Mimi and Jobert!!!

Flor and Ed’s wedding touched a lot of lives. I love the speech they made at the reception. It was quite touching.

Thanks Flor for trusting me with your flowers. I really enjoyed our email trails and meeting you twice to discuss the flowers.

I wasn’t able to attend cause I was so sick that day. But I remember Queenie and Jonathan because they were the first couple I booked for coordination during the bridal fair last March. And I always found them to be quite friendly and interesting. Our meetings would always end up talking about personal stuff!

Anyway, Congrats Queenie and Jonathan! Thank you for trusting us with your flowers

Wedding Day: December, 23, 2009

May Anne and I never met, but we chattted about the flowers through YM. I was really happy she liked my mood board and got me for her wedding last December 23.

When we met, she didn’t know my name and we just smiled at each other. I was part of the coordinators for the day for Erika of Perfect Moments. When she heard Erika call me “Arlene”, she suddenly smiled and said to me… “aaaah! you’re Arlene!”

May Anne is so sweet. I was really happy with the way the flowers turned out. Thanks for trusting me, May Anne

And thanks to Ronald also, the groom! Their love story is quite nice… but I think that’s a different story

One of the lighlights this wedding is I met Jayson Arquiza, who is very very nice and so talented. The pictures are from him and his team.

Congratulations again and best Wishes, May Anne and Ronald!

What better way to start the  new year than attending the wedding of a dear friend and having to do their flowers too? It was really a beautiful wedding to start with. The bride looked great in her CECILIO ABAD gown, and make up by no less than MADGE LEJANO. The venue was in Madre de Dios Chapel and Tagaytay Midlands and the wedding really was elegant.

These photos are taken (errr… stolen) from Jayjay Lucas of Imagine Nation Photography. Love the shots! I knew Threelogy did the video but sadly I wasn’t able to watch the video as I went home early. The perils of being the florist on the day. I haven’t slept all night and I missed the good parts of the wedding.

One of the highlights was the exhange of marriage vows. It was so sincere and full of love. I choke back tears as well. It was really a beautiful wedding, one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever attended. (No bias that I did the styling haha) but definitely a great way to start the year. Congrats Claire and Jom!
