Teal Wedding at Tierra Alta

Last Sunday, I got the chance to work with Rona, an even coordinator and stylist based in Dumaguete. She specializes in weddings but she can also do kiddie parties.

I was one of her assistants and my job was to help her team set-up the tables and other decors needed for the wedding to look exactly perfect.

The theme was more on colors, teal was the main choice but we incorporated other shades of blue and add accents of yellow and green.

Tierra Alta is also a common choice for weddings. At times I feel it's starting to be so common, but I guess I can't blame them. It's honestly one of the best places to hold a special event.

It was quite a long and tiring day but despite that, it was fun because I had good friends with other team members. Here were some photos I took of the decors we set up. I didn't bring a dslr that day because I knew I would be busy and I didn't want to be also carrying it around while running back and forth Tierra Alta grounds. I did bring the ipad so that's what I used to take these snapshots. I wish I had taken more photos. But again, hands were always full, and the iPad gets too bulky. Seriously not convenient and subtle.

Cebu Wedding Weekend

I went to Cebu last weekend, together with my aunt and mother to attend my cousin Sheryl's wedding.

Cebu is the nearest big city to Dumaguete and it's only a half an hour plane ride away. There are other ways of getting there, by boat which will take about 8-9 hours and bus, for 6 hours. We took the plane because my mother cannot be away from our little family business. We were there only for a night.

It was quite tiring to be constantly traveling and going from one hotel to another, what with all the traffic. And if that was not enough, it also rained that day. I also had myself a little dolled-up by the makeup people. I (obviously) don't do that often so I was quite glad we didn't have to do our own makeup.

The wedding was lovely. We saw and met a lot of relatives from the Chinese side of my family (mother). The church where the wedding was held was really simple yet wonderfully comfortable and well-lit. Dinner was a little different albeit the delicious Chinese food. We had it at Grand Majestic Convention.

The party stylist did a wonderful job in transforming the big square hall into something magical, with all the white draping and chandeliers and romantic lights. Back at the hotel, I took a few overlooking snaps that turned out to be blurry, but oh well. I was tired and sleepy from all the day's events.

We slept for four hours and returned home early morning the next day. These photos are a mix of those shot from my dslr, camera phone and aunt Julie's digital camera.

   

Veronica's Wedding Details

Veronica's wedding is actually one of the few weddings that I really found special and beautiful. It was held in a nature resort in Valencia near Dumaguete, Philippines.
