It was the first choice. A country-style theme for our wedding, I feel, will best reflect our personalities. We have no wish for a grand and formal setting, but we’re not too bold and playful either for a more whimsical setup. Although early in the preps, I almost deviated to a ‘paper and lace’ theme [...]

My aunt had commented that my neck looked bare during our wedding. And I have to agree with her. It wasn’t on purpose but I had no choice. I did intend to wear something, a DIY bib necklace that unfortunately I was not able to finish in time for our big day. It was 10 [...]

I was supposed to share our wedding novelties and DIYs before the big day but found no time. But I have more of it now so better late than never. Here they are: Our DIY wedding cord made of faux pearls, metal beads (rose, Celtic, etc) and featuring the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal [...]

The great thing about doing your own graphic design is that you can easily achieve a coordinated look in all your printed supplies. You’ve seen the invite, the map and the monogram.

But alas, none of them became our official monogram. I wanted something that will fit our theme and blend well with the design of our [...]

As a young girl, I only had two pairs of shoes: my school shoes and my other shoes. I’m not sure if it’s because of that, that I grew up with little interest in shoes or I just don’t have the Imelda genes in me. I usually buy shoes that go with most of my [...]

We got them last Friday. And what can I say? I absolutely adore them! It’s beautiful, yet not too flashy so it’s suitable for everyday use. Simple. Exactly the way we want them. The combination of yellow and white gold, and shiny and matte surfaces gives them texture that make them a tad different from [...]

We don’t have a wedding cake yet. But we already have a caketopper! But first, a bit about our love story: D and I first met in cyberspace. I was waiting for my new computer to be installed in my room. I was bored. I had nothing to do so I decided to log in [...]
