Barbie & Ken's Rebellious Wedding

Photos and Concept by Beatrice De Guine

It's official my dears, being a Rebellious Couple is the new tradition. Because if the most classic couple ever imaginable have opted for a rebellious wedding, then there's hope for our cause, don't you agree? I'm talking about Barbie and Ken's rebellious wedding.


Conceptualized by visionary and creative photographer Beatrice De Guine, she developed an out-of-the-box photo shoot/rebellious story by imagining how Barbie and Ken would tie the knot--and she envisioned it to be a rebellious one. Ken in a rockin' black pants instead of the usual dapper suit , Barbie in a fabulous hat instead of a veil, soda pops, a wedding with only their closest of friends which seemed to have transpired in a backyard, CLEARLY the most famous couple in the world are probably tired of the glam and wanted a laid back wedding.

The photos are absolutely gorgeous. So I won't try to sugar coat it any further. Here goes:

Rebellious Virtual Idea

during a wedding ceremony

In Denver, USA, a wedding was attended by a bridesmaid through an iPad2 facetime application. When news of this video came out, there were a lot of negative comments, with even 74 dislikes on Youtube as of this writing. But the truth is, the reason why the bridesmaid couldn't make it was because she didn't have the budget to fly to Denver--and I commend that everyone was game to make sure she could be part of the wedding, in fact her partner even walked her down the aisle even if it was in a virtual way!

Rebellious Idea - The Tagaytay Hop

Tagaytay is a lovely place to have a wedding, don't you agree? The fresh, cool breeze, the scenic view, the food, and the rustic vibe are just some of the things that make Tagaytay oh so romantic.

Are you considering having a Tagaytay wedding? If you are, I'd like to suggest a Rebellious way on how to do your wedding. A wedding idea, that has never been done before, and I think a new Tagaytay experience that you and your guests will enjoy. 

And I call it, The Tagaytay Hop. Inspired by our own wedding which we called The Bora Hop because we hopped from one Bora venue to another, imagine a Tagaytay wedding that will span for the entire weekend. 

Rebellious Head Candies

I am a fan of allowing the entourage to shine with their own personal style. Also, if you are like us whose wedding funds are solely coming from nobody else but the bride and groom without as much as a cent from the parents, I am also a fan of looking for other creative ways to spend on the entourage apart from their dresses.


For our Boracay wedding, I allowed my entourage to wear what they wanted to wear--instead, I spent on their Kate Spade gifts which I bought during their sale. For the second wedding, I once again allowed my entourage to wear what they wanted and instead, I provided head candies they can wear during the wedding in keeping with the theme--which at the same time served as gifts as well.

Providing head candies, instead of the entourage dresses make for wonderful, unique details for the wedding--and it's something that the girls can definitely keep and use in other events. Hand crafted Bonne head pieces by Bonsai Fojas are truly the perfect fashionable elements for your wedding. Check out the wide range of styles she can do for you. They are wedding themes in itself! So many creative ideas and inspirations from her various collections!

Which style are you most loving right now? :)

Rebellious Couple - Claude & Dexter

When these two irreverent and creative individuals (of the advertising breed) decided to marry, they made sure their wedding reeked of their personalities.

To get a little bit of perspective here’s something about the couple: Claude and Dexter are the creators of the strip “Along for the Ride.” This is their collaboration as a couple and as art director and writer, respectively.


Love Thy Neighbor

Claude & Dexter took this commandment quite literally. They were neighbors since they were 3 years old. But it took them 30 years to realize they were meant to be together.

 

Brunch/Shoot Etiquette 101

I have heard from our Brunch/Second Wedding videographer, Ian Cruz, that ever since our Brunch video hit the web, that he's gotten numerous inquiries if his clients can execute a similar treatment. In fact, he even got an inquiry as far as Hong Kong to do the same video we did. On the other hand, Cafe 1771 has also received a lot of inquiries if couples can do a similar prenup session and they give the restaurant our video as reference. 

While this flatters me, Ian, and the restaurant, here are some basic things you should know about that shoot, and in turn, some basic prenup etiquette to consider if you want to do your prenups in a restaurant:
