Martha Stewart Weddings in the Philippines!

Event: Launching of Martha Stewart Weddings
Venue: The Conservatory, Upper Lobby, Peninsula
Date and time: Sept. 17, 3:30 pm
Attire: Afternoon Chic


It was an afternoon of extreme sugar rush. It seemed like the sweet tooth annual convention. The Conservatory AND the Upper Lobby was filled with BEAUTIFUL cakes and pastries as Summit Media launched Martha Stewart, WEDDINGS magazine here in the Philippines.

There was a very cute photo booth that takes 4 photos of guests, prints it out right there and then. Here's mine with Jenny (and a little bit of Paul).


The event was a huge success. People were very happy with the abundance of cakes and giveaways that guests did not want to leave the function. I personally got a bagful of goodies and a copy of the maiden issue of the magazine that brides to be will find very useful when planning their wedding.

The magazine featured the wedding of good friends of mine, Paul and Daphne. Here they are looking oh so happy.


Also in the magazine is the wedding of David and Mai Kaufman, who gave birth less than a month ago but boy, she is super thin already. Gggrrrr......


Anyway, I hope she ate a lot of these yummy sweet treats! Check them out!








The set up/styling was done by Margarita Fores with the assistance of Events Manager, Stephanie Chong. BRAVO!!!!!





Rhett Eala is sporting a very colorful Rhett Eala shirt that I find adorable. Hopefully he sends me one as a gift for taking magnificent photos of him every time we bump into each other. (BWA HA HA HA)


The tables were set so sweetly that no one wanted to touch it at first. With the sunset, it looked great that guests were not sure if it is just for display.

All Dolled Up.

It was a day of vanity. We all slept early the night before to avoid having eye bags for the next day. Good luck to me right? Anyway, we got to Peninsula around 10:30 and we all headed to Rigodon for the photo shoot.

We want to thank The Peninsula Hotel for lending us the ballroom and for feeding the crew and all those involved in the project. We all love the chandelier which is why this is the spot we chose to do this shoot. Garch, we are grateful.


Back to the story, we started getting our hair and make up done and that in itself was fun because of all the gossip that was shared during the egotistical process of making us pretty. With products of L'Oreal and the able crew of Jigs Mayuga, it wasn't really hard to do, right Jigs? (wink wink).








With curls on our hair, we were made to look like Grecian goddesses (yeah right, I wish!). Vianney Guesse did our hair and to tell you honestly, I wanted to take him home so he can do my hair every morning. Guess I gotta be a Greta do have that kind of life. Sigh..




After make up, we got down to business in getting the clothes on. How fun is it to be a girl! Puey lent us some clothes and because he's the only one that knows how to drape them really well, he was kind enough to take time out from his work to help us out. Clothes from Zara, Burberry and Ferdie Abuel and amazing shoes by Cesar Gaupo also helped glamorize us Dizon women.




At last it was time for photographer extra-ordinaire, Denise Weldon to do some magic. But just before that, the real models who knew so much more on how to project taught us how to emote and pose with ease. It was so much fun just watching "the girls" and the girl work their stuff. (hahaha!)



Unfortunately, I can't post a photo of our version but I am telling you, the Puey dresses, Jigs and staff of L'Oreal and Nay worked wonders and made us feel like superstars.

Anna Sobrepena really picked out a great team for this shoot.


Here's me and stylist, Jerry Santos.
