I love weddings.
I’ve always secretly wanted to be a wedding stylist (that’s in addition to
having fantasies of owning a patisserie and writing about travel adventures).
It’s the hopeless romantic in me that makes me go absolutely wide-eyed for
fairytale wedding gowns, dreamy color palettes, and touching videos. So imagine
the excitement that filled me when Bride and Breakfast accepted me as one of their
interns.
I stumbled upon
this beautiful wedding blog when my friend’s wedding was featured on it. Ever
since then, it’s been my guilty pleasure outside of fashion blogs (but I’m not
really guilty, sorry). Bride and Breakfast is a delight for the heart as much
as it is for the eyes. Owned by Janna and Ian Simpao, its posts are filled with
wedding details that can truly inspire brides and brides-to-be (that’s me!).
The best thing about it? Every wedding supplier featured is Filipino. After
looking at Bride and Breakfast’s posts for more than year, I’m more than
convinced that we Filipinos have the creativity and passion to make it big. And
to truly make every wedding the couple’s favorite memory.
I was so fortunate
to have been given the opportunity to meet some of those wedding suppliers at
Bride and Breakfast’s Garden Soirée held yesterday, September 24. It was such a
delight! Held at the romantic space of Mango Farm, it truly reflected the
amazing potential of the local wedding industry. The tropical luxe theme was
seen in every little detail from the stage backdrop to the tablecloths. The
cocktail food was honestly the best I have ever tried at any party (seared tuna
on tostilla crisps, anyone?). The dessert was something new… cakelets! And the
vibe was just all-around happy and vibrant and down-to-earth – just how
weddings should be.
Yesterday, I didn’t
just dip my toes into the wedding industry… I dived right into it! It was refreshing
to have been given the chance to get to know another industry besides fashion.
It makes me realize how creative other people can be. And because of the
exposure, I now have a DREAM TEAM for my own wedding. Now, I just need the man
who will make all these details secondary to the love that we will hold for
each other… for the rest of our lives. Congratulations, Bride and Breakfast!
