The Big Ten

When I get married again, I want all my guests to be in elegant black. 


I will be in my dream wedding dress color, platinum!!♥

A reader on her Rebellious, 10th Year Anniversary Wedding Plans

"C" is the kind of girl we all want to hate. She's like the Pinay version of Victoria Bekham. Naturally model-esque figure (even when preggers, I hate you.), looks good in everything she wears, has a Bekham-ish handsome husband, a would-be soccer mom with a handful of boys to take care of, and now a baby girl on the way. 


  Always in the VIP guest list, always surrounded and fawned over, and invitations not just to party here but to travel elsewhere. But this is just really a shallow picture of this golden couple. In truth, they are homebodies who find happiness in curling up in their bed with their children, watching Netflix. 


So for "C" & "G"s 10th year anniversary, I propose a theme I call, "Manila Laoag". Set in their hometown Laoag, this wedding is a juxtapose of their fashionable Manila life, with a fashion show inspired wedding ceremony and a reception that is very homey,  a banquet family style with lots of heirloom decors (and food!), poetry, books, picture frames of family, and the ten years they've had together. 


Here goes:

The Bride


"C" wants to be in Platinum so platinum it is! And designed by Avel Bacudio, no less! We top it off with a platinum fascinator, simply because she's the type who can pull it off, and let's finish off the look with a Purple Brooch Bouquet--as a tribute to her fashion business from 2008, and also because a tenth year wedding deserves an "heirloom" that can be passed on to the next generation. 

The Entourage


Our rebel bride wants everyone to be in elegant black so let's peg this with an Audrey Hepburn inspired ensemble. The wedding will be extra special because they will celebrate it with their children, and there's nothing more elegant than with children looking spiffy and pretty in sophisticated yet playful black outfits!

THE MANILA FASHION SHOW CEREMONY

The ceremony will be a tribute to this couple's glam "Manila Life" -- embracing that it is inevitably part of who they have become. Directed by none other than Avel Bacudio, imagine a ceremony with dramatic lighting, eye candy outfits, wonderful music, choreographed entourage walks, worthy of the runway! 

THE LAOAG HOME SWEET HOME RECEPTION

The reception will totally be the extreme opposite of the ceremony. Here, we see a more relaxed, and laidback reception, with 10 banquet family-style tables, symbolizing the ten years of their wedding life. Each table will have vintage-inspired props that would detail and illustrate the year it represents (example, three of the tables can be a tribute to each of their kids birth year, another table can be about the family activities they've done together in that particular year, etc.) from pictures to books, to words. A playful scavenger hunt game can even take place in the grounds of their ancestral house where guests must look for 10 hidden items their children hid from the guests.
