A Work in Progress

As I was shopping for some stones for class, I noticed these corales which reminded me of MAC's "Venomous Villains Fall 2010 Collection" thanks to Byron. I'm still working on it though...

Our top priorities in the wedding budget aside from the venue and wedding coordination would be photo and video suppliers. How did I make the selection? Research for reviews, portfolios and recommendations from past couples who have availed their services. The key factor in eyeing the best supplier is their craft and passion. The best photographer catches the soul of the subject, while the best videographer puts attention to the most unlikely details which makes the entire video unique, fun and fresh. As promised, here are some highlights of the wedding featuring the accessories I make. Credits to Ms Gel from Discovery Shores for a job well done in the reception set up... truly inspiring and vibrant! Amanda Tirol simply is the bomb!!!! Byron Velasquez for the superb long lasting make-up. Mayad keeps it fun and fresh!

PREPPING FOR NEW DESIGNS

Now that wedding preps are done, I can now focus on establishing my craft. I started learning new techniques to extend my limitations on more ideas and designs. I can't help but be excited on my upcoming projects. There will be embellished bags, hair pieces, polymer clay gift and accessories and even apparel all designed and created by mwah.

I also decided to focus on beach wedding jewelry and accessories to support b2bs (bride-to-be) achieve the perfect beach wedding as they imagined. Based on my own experience, I really took effort on learning a lot of skills just to have the look I want. DIYs are not for all as it requires time and dedication.. even a lot of passion. The best part about this is that all  of my creations are affordable too. :)

I now present you where it all started. My inspiration was being practical in terms of cost and time. Cost as flowers are more expensive in destination weddings and there are few selections of flowers available in the island. Time as we planned this for more than a year, gave me ample chance to learn and do some research for the DIYs.

I must say I'm more of a beach-loving person. For me the sea is majestic. Considering my limited options in beach wedding accessories, I was able to prove that beach weddings can be elegant. So far I only have the wedding video trailer. I'll be posting more photos as soon as I get those from our official photographer. Enjoy.

GIFTS TO MY WEDDING SUPPLIERS

We were so busy during the wedding such that we were not given the chance to thank our suppliers personally. I made little gifts together with thank you notes to express how much we loved their craft. We want them to remember us in spite of the number of clients they cater each year.
