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.

Event: Paul Syjuco and Daphne Doroja ties the knot
Date: April 20, 2008
Venue: Paco Church, G Hotel Manila by Waterfront

Ahhh, what was nice addition to my memory bank. Paul and Daphne are very special people to me. Not only is Paul in the same industry, he is also a great guy who is very generous in sharing a lot of laughter and dirty humor that we all love. He is sarcastic like me and has the wittiest remarks about everything. This guy is very sweet and truly a gentleman and Daphne is truly lucky to have a gem like Paul.....even if he gives me a rash every time we beso due to his beard. I am not sure how Daphne can keep her skin flawless!

Daphne on the other hand looked stunning in her Puey Quinones creation. The sweetest girl I know has also a very funny side to her which is why this union works. Laughter is a great bonding material. I couldn't stop looking at her jewels especially a diamond encrusted ribbon brooch worn on her waist! Jewels by Aum of course.

The dinner was at this new boutique hotel called G Hotel Manila by Waterfront which is very impressive. It has got a magnificent view of the bay and we happen to catch the sunset.

The reception was styled by Pido Villanueva. What I found interesting was that he used wooden bench chairs. A different take to seating people. A bit difficult to get in and out but it was cute.







A guitarist that he is, Paul performed for the crowd and it was the longest version of Time After Time that I have ever heard. He asked his singer friends to sing as he strummed away. Toby and David even belted a line for their wives.


As I was one of the emcees, I was not able to take photos so here are some taken by my sister. Enjoy the pics!
