hi fantabulous, have you finalized the styling? you can definitely do a filipiniana wedding since you have already asked your guests to wear filipiniana. this is actually my coordinator's favorite theme and she's planning one in april so she has these really beautiful capiz lanterns for that wedding. why don't you bring in capiz to your decors? have some capiz lanterns hanging around then some capiz decors on the tables  ;)

I love the idea of the capiz shells, sis! Thanks for that one. A friend and I will go to Divi this Sunday, so enough time and opportunity for me to check out the merchandise over these. Hopefully, we see capiz shells, too. If not, I know that Quiapo has handicrafts, too.

Check on pinterest! :) there's a lot of ideas there that you can get. Just search for cobalt blue and cream wedding! :)

You're right, sis! Dami nga  :) Thanks a lot!

pag tinatanong ako nito di ko alam isasagot ko kundi tiffany blue and pale pink. hahahaha

I can totally relate  :D Kasi isa ito sa mga questions doon sa form ni DTS, bigla ako napahinto. Ano nga ba? Hehe.

Di naman need ang theme. Pero mas madali kasi ang planning pag may theme.

Like samin wala lang talaga nung una, now, travel na. So lahat may element ng travel kahit konti lang.

I like your theme, sis na travel! Pati yung invites ninyo swak yung passport type  :)

Basically themes help in putting things in perspective.  In your case sis, since you've already indicated what attire you want, then i think youre leaning towards Filipiniana theme.

Initially we thought of 80/90s since we and most of our guests are from these generation. But i don't want the kitschy style and color (neon!) that are identified with these.  Color I want is burnt orange and burlap, which are usually identified naman w rustic. 

So we've decided that music will be 80s/90s to create the vibe we want while venue will be mostly in orange and burlap texture. Invits/souvenirs/decors are cross of both.

Hm, your theme sounds great, too!  :) Yes, medyo pormal-pormalan ang dating ng Filipiniana, but we thought it would add a nice touch. We have foreign guests kasi kaya we thought it would be a great way to introduce the Filipino culture to them.

We're not having a single unified theme, but we're incorporating small touches of things we love: films, books, travel. And style-wise we're sticking to a relatively modern aesthetic (so that helped us eliminate lots of beautiful, popular touches -- like vintage furniture, wood slices, etc) kasi we realised it's not really our style.

fantabulous, I think you could go for a beautiful contemporary Filipiniana look with your colour palette :)

Thanks, sis! Yes the reason I pushed talaga for cobalt blue is I wanted something bright and not traditional. It's just so hard to plan eh especially when you also have a full time job  and the only time I get to do wedding preps is after work and in the weekends :)

Your idea of small touches of things you love is great. My hubby wants to introduce ourselves to our family and friends so he's into sharing snippets of information and pics from our lives so yes we are doing this too.

sis fantabulous, if you want nice items with touch of Filipiniana, you can also try Quiapo, yung ilalim ng tulay.  Those items sold in malls can be found there at half the price.  maybe you can use shells/capiz as accents/name card holder/napkin ring, etc.  para it wouldnt look so formal but there are touches here and there.

For me, I'll be providing the ninangs and female guests with anahaw fans decorated with flowers in my motif. something like this  http://s154.photobucket.com/user/alexis96c/media/20150222_221327.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

Alam mo sis I was thinking of anahaw fans too but for use in the church kasi hindi aircon yung simbahan. Are you giving them away as souvenirs too?

Ganda ng idea to put decorations on it, ha.

Our colors is black and white. Wala ng theme. Wala ko maisip eh hahaha! Just classic black and white. Maybe some crystals kung kakayanin pa.

Buti sis walang nag-stop syo mag-black, kasi di ba di pwede ang black sa matatanda pag sa kasal.

hi fantabulous, i was thinking how you can incorporate your lovely cobalt blue wedding color into the decorations and i just had a thought...maybe you can use the iconic philippine jeepney as a recurring motif? i keep thinking of a cobalt blue jeepney as your backdrop...instead of table numbers, use famous philippine landmarks instead to identify tables and use a postcard in a cobalt blue frame as the table identifier so you'll have a bohol table, palawan table, davao table, etc.  :)

Wow, sis! That is so cool  :) I think you could have a great future as an event stylist! Thanks for this idea, and yes we can use postcards of places of interest as table identifier. Super like!

Our wedding was- vintage music inspired. The motif consisted of black, white and peach. :)

Di naman talaga necessary ang theme. Gusto ko lang kasi my husband and i love music. Pero subtle touches lang.:) para mukhang wedding reception pa rin, formal and para di magmukhang party.

Sis czarina, si sis fionaapple bumili ng table pieces at music themed props at binigay sa  caterer para ma - incorporate sa styling sa reception at maachieve ang desired look.
