CONTRIBUTORS Wedding Ideas Glam for every theme Ms. Vanessa Biazon of Enav Glam shares her glamorous styling prowess in four wedding themesthat will challenge and arouse your imagination… White Wedding A color-based theme is a common sight in Philippine weddings. But an all-white wedding is far from common; it is a cool trend that is fast becoming a classic. And it’s flexible too. Combined with blue and it easily becomes a Grecian wedding, matched with gold and it is transformed to a French Versailles theme. Here, we have incorporated a vintage flair to the concept. For a previous project, I used white Ecuadorian roses for the bridal bouquet. On the handle I used a cream lace and a silver brooch; these will add texture and sparkle without deviating from the theme. In the ceremony area, we had vintage white lamps fitted with candles and surrounded by local white rose and draped with beads. Tall, translucent vases held posies more of white flowers. Crystal clear bowls double as decor and as stylish receptacles for appetizers. Old Spanish Wedding History makes it easy for us to recreate this era as remnants of the period remain part of modern-day Philippines. This theme is about romance and passion. Enav Glam shares this vision... Go see our many century-old venues and Baroque churches; this will give your event authenticity. It’s the perfect backdrop for this theme. In event styling, one forte that our team is assigned to is the bridal car, but instead of a bridal car, we can hire a calesa (horse-drawn carriage) to take you to the ceremony and reception venues. For the table centerpiece, we can use abanico and rose petals in the arrangement. Yellow lights, chandeliers and candelabras can also work for this theme. Serve Spanish dishes for continuity. Beach Wedding Ours is the perfect tropical get-away – hot and overflowing with the world’s best beaches. That’s why most destination weddings here in the country are also beach weddings. Here is our dreamy take on this... For the centerpiece we had vases with colored water to match their motif; while orchids and pearls lend an organic vibe. Also for the decor, we had flower balls with rosal fillers on stands with swag. For the backdrop, we combined bamboo, sheer white curtains and seashells – these helped define the area and really make the space very open and relaxed. For this wedding, we had to transport the flowers and items to style the wedding with and charter boat to this island. It was an enormous undertaking but a valued experience. Once more we had to buy new props and again we did not charge any more fees because I knew we could reuse and recycle it for more event styling in the future. Offbeat Wedding Because there are couples whose theme is so original they cannot be in just any category. An offbeat themed wedding is a huge umbrella under which every quirky and incredible idea is found. Get creative! A fan of Twilight Saga? Then a vampy set-up with a red, black and white color scheme is in order. We can adapt the hanging wisteria in the wedding scene and use sampaguita garlands which will have a similar effect. Are you both self-confessed nerds? Maybe you could have a cool, book-filled corner where your guests can have their pictures taken at. Or maybe you have a rockstar lifestyle? Then your wedding event style should rock ‘n roll and no less! Tell us your ideas and we will create it for you. This is your wedding and it should be just the way you want it.
