Return to Opulence: A 1920s Wedding

Being both from advertising agencies, Kitty and Vince have a keen eye for beauty. Hence, it was all about glitz and glamour. It was a wedding where you excitedly realise you can wear your silk gloves and not look overdressed. In fact, the point was to wear your best pearls and fascinating fascinators! 
Just like the good old times.


Rustic Carnival Prenup

How can you go wrong if you're featuring a couple from the wonderful world of advertising? Agnes is a Client Services Director while Dan is a Creative Director. But because both of them decided not to take themselves too seriously with their engagement shoot, they ended up in Star City.

Although they would have easily opted for a perya -- the Philippine's version of the travelling carnival but much less posh -- had they found one.

Looking at their photos though, you'd think they're in a carnival abroad :)

Wedding Agency: JP & Bonsai's Retro Brunch Wedding


This wedding is close to my heart because I was witness to Bonsai and JP's love story from the very beginning. You see, the bride used to be my roommate! And ever since Bonne handmade and The Makeup of Mica started, we have done numerous collaboration shoots. \We even call ourselves partners-in-crime :)

Naturally, creating a Wedding Agency walkthrough for my dear friend Bonsai Fojas was super exciting. Here are some slides from our presentation and the actual implementation seen in the beautiful photos as captured by We Do It For Love 

Oh and you can backtrack on their prenup feature here: 

Rebellious Groom Inspiration: Do.Se

There are tons and tons of ideas and wedding inspirations for the Bride. But more often than not, we tend to overlook the groom. But ladies, this is his wedding as well. Give him his share of the spotlight. Let's all pave the way for  anti-cookie-cutter grooms. This goes out to those who want inspirations and pegs that break away from the norm and choose designs that make statements.

Rebel Groom, this video is for you!

Rebellious Bridal Showers

Photography by Metrophoto

In this fanciest collaboration shoot that we've ever done so far, there won't even be a wedding in sight. Because a wedding is not just about the wedding day and the prenup ideas per se, don't you agree? So in this 2-part editorial that we did with Metrophoto, Eskaya, and Powercom (Eskaya's marketing team where RB Mica and I are also part of), we'll show you a Bridal Shower and Honeymoon Concept perfect for the rebellious, luxe bride/newlywed.

Rebellious Bridal Style: HUNNIE

Photography by Midori Moon
Today, we bring you the rebellious bridal style of Hunnie. Everything about her look is so refreshing. First of all, I love how she paired her non-white bridal gown with Turquoise earrings and shoes. Wearing turquoise during a wedding reflects a carefree kind of bride! But what was even more surprising is how she went for a blue eyeshadow for her makeup--definitely something we don't see in bridal makeup everyday.  Hunnie's look is just another proof that being on the stylish, fashionista side for a bridal look can still turn out beautiful and tasteful. The key is in perfect editing. 

Never Let Your Wings Be Stolen From You


Rebellious collaborations have long been a staple in the 3 years that we've had this blog. And we pride ourselves for being one of the firsts to do it. Every year is different. But three things remain: 1) We always want to do something that's out of the ordinary, 2) We always want to celebrate talents (both fresh and seniors) and kind of push them out of their comfort zones, and 3) We never take our shoots seriously (topak kung topak! in English, "cray, cray!").
