A Sparkling Prom Wedding (Part 1)

Kai and I came up with the Wedding Agency so that soon-to-marry couples can streamline their wedding concept and  have  a "brand bible" that keeps all the suppliers in tune with their vision. We're happy to share some of the final products from our rebellious clients: Gem & Jay-R.

THE FUN COUPLE

Gem and Jay-r wanted their wedding to be reflective of their fun and relaxed personalities. They really weren't the type to take things too seriously. As a result, the theme fit them well as they were the epitome of a super sweet & quirky couple headed for prom just to drink, dance and be merry :)



THE BRIDE'S LOOK

Gem, being the rebellious bride that she is, opted for a ready-made gown. Something with a flattering silhouette but comfortable enough for some dancing. She finally found this off-white & silver trumpet-style gown in Mitzi Quilendrino-Bustos' Mitzi Q Bridal Pret-a-Porter...perfect for prom night! Then her mom added more sparkle by sewing jewels on her sleeve.



THE FASHION



In their invite, Gem & Jay-r asked their friends this: Will you go to prom with us? As a result, their entourage & guests came in jewel-toned ensembles and sparkly details.

The "Un-Weddingy" Boracay Wedding

"...to avoid disappointment or stress
we chose to follow the flow."
Rebellious Bride Pauline Reitzer


This is by far one of the most beautiful, most moving weddings I have ever seen since RB's existence. And the wedding video, didn't even feel like a wedding video 'till like the third minute of the video. Kudos to Dreamscape Asia Productions. I have NEVER seen a wedding video such as this. And for that, we thank you for giving us something so new! 

I've been asked by a few friends on whether I'm going to blog about a certain celebrity's wedding this week. But such weddings have enough airtime already. I choose to tell you this love story instead. 


I have always had a soft spot for Boracay weddings. But I am BEYOND JEALOUS because our featured couple actually MOVED TO BORACAY. Oh what a wonderful life they must have! Pauline & Roldan's wedding is obviously rebellious. But it's also so very organic and so loving. So unpretentious. So real. I'm so moved. Thank you Pauline, for sending this our way. You have touched us so much, just by sharing a piece of your wonderful, heart-thumping wedding.

Bride Ideas - International Edition

Photo from Foot Traffic
Here in Rebellious Brides, we recognize that we have readers from outside of the Philippines (and we are truly, absolutely THANKFUL for that). And with that being said, we felt that we had to create a version of our Bride Ideas that are especially more appropriate for Rebellious Brides around the globe. Here goes!

The Wedding Agency: My Sister's Wedding

In a few days (4 to be exact), my baby sister will get married. Again! This time in the same chapel where both her elder sisters got married. And because the Wedding Agency existed during her preparations, she and her fiancé Jay-r naturally became our clients (no bride bullying, I swear!).

We came up with a Sparklin' Prom Night Wedding. It's a mix of prom and jewel-toned/sparkly elements. They chose this because my sister has never been to a prom and, second, her name is GEM, 
a precious stone. 

Here's a teaser of things to come this Friday. I've never been to a prom as well so I am just as excited! Also, Rebellious Bunch WeDoItForLove will document everything. So it is going to be amazing :D







Emil & Marielle's Metrofied Wedding

A couple of months ago, we featured Metrophoto's winning couple for their Metrofied 4 Life campaign (CLICK HERE TO BACKTRACK). Now, Emil & Marielle have finally tied the knot and we absolutely love their gorgeous wedding! 

From the rebellious bride's anti-white gown, to their mighty metrofied tattoos, to their one-of-a-kind balloons in the most wonderful color palette, to their uber stylish entourage, down to their oh-so-red-as-strawberry couple's booth, everything was just absolutely perfect. Here's how Oly Ruiz recounts the entire experience:


"Easily one of the most anticipated weddings of the year for Metrophoto, Emil and Marielle are not just a Metrophoto couple but literal brand ambassadors as they carry the tattoos on their forearms. Their personalities and the story of their love for each other are what made them stand out from the other couples who joined the contest..."
 "It might sound odd but being in their wedding and covering it is like shooting my own children’s wedding and it was a very proud moment for all of us. It is not usual for someone to do something like this, in fact it has never happened before. There are always things that people will do for love and for the desire of something, and not everyone will understand it, but the most important things is that, these things that greatly inspire us also allow us to create something special and something beautiful that we will treasure all our lives – a true spirit of being part of Metrophoto."

Rebellious Revenge/Grayson Wedding


Here's a treat for all you Revenge fans out there. The other day, the queen of the Hamptons Victoria Grayson renewed her vows in a gray Vera Wang gown. Her style was as always, fabulous as she adorned herself with pearls upon pearls around her neck and both of her wrists.

Victoria sure loves her parties and her invitations! Last season she had a red box invitation for Emily & Daniel's  Fire & Ice engagement party and now for her wedding she opted for the same box but this time in a chic robin's egg shade. 

Boxed invitations are wonderful! Here are other ideas that we've found over the web:

During the wedding, my eyes immediately zeroed in on the bouquet! Victoria Grayson is one rebellious bride! She topped off her gray pearls and Vera Wang with a unique black calla lily bouquet.
