"Charmaine and her staff went above and beyond in making the wedding reception a joyous celebration.  They created an elegant and festive atmosphere by using exquisite elements like exotic orchids, lace ornamentation, and Crystal chandelier backdrop.  Thank you very much for helping us bring together family and friends, not only to commemorate a milestone but to burnish and pay tribute to old relationships and to forge brand new ones that will, with luck, only grow deeper over the years."

Gazel and Phillip

Wedding Photography: Wally Gonzales

 "Wally and his crew not only captured the ephemeral light in the background of Fernbrook's dome but everything that kindles emotion and wonderful memory about our wedding.  The pictures are rich in details...the flourish on our invitation, the gleaming ring detail on my shoes under the hem of my gown, and beautiful candid shots both in color and black and white.  They have far exceeded our expectations!"

Gazel and Phillip

Wedding Videography: Jason Magbanua

   

 "Working with Jason is one of the most special joys during our wedding.  The onsite video he created for us is a definition of timeless elegance - captivating in content yet nonchalant in composition and styling...so much of what we were looking for! :-)  He is definitely the most talented videographer.  Again, thank you Jason for creating our wonderful SDE: lovely, narrative, and full of life and emotion."

- Gazel and Phillip

Bridal Couture: Nono Palmos

Nono created our exquisite wedding attire.  My dress was made in Pina fabric and embroidered with ornate details of pearls, sequins, and Swarovski crystals. 

I felt like I was floating in clouds wearing it :-) 

Phil's attire was Nono's trademark, "Suit Barong". It was also made in Pina fabric with elegant embroidery.  Phil looked very handsome in it!

 Calligrapher: Megan Chapin

Stationery: Twinrocker

I had tears of joy when Megan emailed me the draft for our invitation. 

I can't thank her enough for all her help in finding the resources to produce the invitation that was right for us. After spending almost three months taking care of details (i.e., wording, type of script, paper variety, etc.), I couldn't be happier with the final product.

Our invitation had the most beautiful script I've ever seen.  The words were written in Megan's calligraphy and letterpressed on Twinrocker's handmade watercolor paper

(a heavyweight imperial with feather deckled edge).

The "invitation process" was a true labor of love :-)

The wedding was a great success because of the Blushing Bride team!  You have performed above and beyond.  The execution of the entire program was phenomenal.  All the guests have been telling us over and over again that OUR wedding is the BEST  wedding they've ever been to!  And I always tell them that YOUR TEAM made it happen :-)  It was wonderful for me and Phil to actually enjoy our wedding because we never had to worry about anything.  Everything was perfect!

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you so much! :-)
May God shower you more blessings!
