The WaW Online Bridal Fair

Photo by Quirky Creatives*

Not gonna lie. Blogging about Weddings at Work's online bridal fair is bittersweet for Rebellious Brides. Because we also thought of launching a similar concept some two years ago. Alas, it never materialized.  But because we fully support this rebellious movement to go digital, and because we have so much love and respect for WaW, that even if we are not the ones to launch this we still want to show our full support.

The Las Casas Prenup

Photography by Michelle Pineda

We are forever fans of  "Classic w/ a Twist" prenups! (Review our blog: Rebellious Prenup Workshop HERE). We believe that all you really need to make a prenup rebelliously fabulous are just 3 essential things:  interesting venue, statement outfits, and a GREAT photographer. But in the end? It always boils down to photography if you ask me. 

 And that's what I love about Lilay and Bebet's prenup. They have one of the most uncomplicated prenups I've seen but it is one of the most beautiful out there. This set, though done in Bataan, reminds me so much of Versailles--it has an old world, romantic, French flair to it that feels so dramatic. 

 Their photographer Michelle Pineda has this to share:

Rebellious Weddings of 2011

The so-called "Best Weddings of 2011" is just a disguise for "Best CELEBRITY Weddings and Best Weddings w/ High-Profiled Surnames of 2011".  It's like high school all-over again. Sorry. You're just not popular enough to be the Prom King and Queen. And Sorry--you're just not royalty or a Kardashian so we don't think the Pixel Cowboy Wedding featured at Green Wedding Shoes is "best of 2011" material (notice the International references so as not to step on the local scene but we all know that this happens in our country damn too much).

So much like our own Wedding Forecast of 2012 which we made on our own, we're also listing down our own most Rebellious Weddings of 2011. How many weddings have you attended in 2011? Out of all those weddings, how many were creative/unique/rebellious? Our intention here is not to boast or to create a popularity poll. Our intention here is simply to encourage and inspire other brides to take the road less traveled. We've created various categories here as well. In some categories, you'll see past Rebellious Brides we have featured, some ideas from our own weddings as well, and from new Rebellious Brides/Weddings that we are just about to feature--again, the intention is not to boast, but to inspire so you can grab ideas---note however that we don't condone "copycats"---what we would like is for you to get inspired by the ideas so that you can make it your own. Let's start!

3. Shakespeare in Love - Bride & Breakfast

Janna Simpao of Bride & Breakfast writes: "In this age of creativity and practical budgets, DIY is a bride’s best friend. Loving the details on this crazy artistic affair. Marco and Corinne’s wedding day looked like a scene from a modern and quirky Shakespearean play–now that’s what you call character! Cheers to artists, poets and love."

The Lady Gaga Wedding - Photo by Mark Cantalejo
1.  Photographer Mark Cantalejo says:

 "The Gaga-inspired wedding! The bride didn't care what her peers would say. Basta she went for it cuz she wanted it!"

2. The Bridal & Entourage Swimsuits - Hindy Weber Tantoco's Bride 

Upon the request of the bride, photos of their wedding are not allowed to be publicized, but according to the designer, her bride had a beach wedding, and it was the first time that she was commissioned to do maillot swimsuits for the entourage and the bride! How rebellious, fun, and fearless is that!

3. Photographer J Lucas Reyes says:

"Yours? (Referring to Rebellious Bride Kai's Wedding), Okay, besides yours, Rissa & Paolo Trillo's wedding."

"Beyond Words" is how J Lucas Reyes described it in Vatel's blog.  

Dylan Gozum of Vatel agrees with J Lucas Reyes and says: "I think Rissa Mananquil's wedding to Paolo Trillo was rebellious in a way that both of them were very into the whole wedding preps, both of them had a very clear vision of how they wanted their wedding to be, and that they insisted - every step of the way - to have things done according to reflect their personalities. :-)"

We are halfway into the categories. Read on! :)

Weddings & Videography - More Fun in the Philippines

The new Philippine Tourism campaign has indeed awaken another heated debate. Here in Rebellious Brides though, we choose to focus on the positive.

The Wedding Industry in this country is just oozing with so much talent and heavenly locations. The other day we featured a teaser on the campaign through the awesome photos of Mango Red. This time around, let's watch some videos from no other than Internationally-acclaimed and all-around wedding god, Jason Magbanua. More to come, in the next few days and weeks.

#1forFUN! :)

In less than an hour from now, the Philippines' Department of Tourism, headed by Mon Jimenez will be launching its newest tourism campaign. In the teasers leading to the campaign, they revealed that at the very core of this campaign will be US--we are the "digital warriors" of our own country--it is up to us to spread the word, and create our stories and that one thing is for sure---this campaign will be FUN!

Here in Rebellious Brides, we want to contribute in our own little way. After all, 50% of our readers are outside of the Philippines. So while the campaign is just about to be revealed, here's our own teaser for it. Hey you! Why not get married in the Philippines? In Rebellious Bunch - MangoRed's website alone, they were able to capture beautiful destinations around the country through various weddings. Here are just some of these awesome weddings!
