Veluz got her 'W@Wie'!
The 2005 W@Wie Awards, held last November 25 at Villa Immaculada in Intramuros, awarded the
Top 10 Wedding Suppliers as voted by the W@Wies.
Veluz Reyes brought home the 'W@Wie' by being named the 2005 W@W Supplier of the Year.
Veluz is a wedding gown designer who gained prominence in the W@W community late last year with her intricate designs and perfect fit.
According to her, "There really is no magic involve, it takes a lot of preparation, effort and skill to achieve the best fit. And if it doesn't (a rarity today, thankfully!) I just do it all over again."
Making the Top 5 Suppliers with Veluz are: Threelogy (videography),
Mimi Abesamis & Karl De Leon (photography), John Mateos Ong (photography), and
Printed Matter (invites/graphic design).
Completing the Top 10 line-up are: Hizon's Catering,
Madge Lejano (make-up), Dino Lara Photography, Josiah's Catering
and SugarBox (cake design).
Congratulations to this year's winners!

Weddings rock the Webbies!
While The W@Wie Awards was ongoing in Intramuros, the Webby Awards
was simultaneously being held at the Meralco Theater. W@W got the Webbies for the People's Choice Award
for the Home & Living Category but, unfortunately, we weren't there to personally accept the award since the entire W@W Team (that's the two of us!) had to oversee our own awards ceremony.
Congratulations to our friends from The Wedding Library which won the
Best Website award for the same category. That's two victories for the wedding industry!
We thank all the W@Wies and friends in the industry who voted for us. Salamat po! =)

Queer Eye for the Pinoy Guy
 Catch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy this Monday (Nov. 14) at 9PM on ETC
as the Fab Five help a Filipino couple (Chris & Michelle) realize the wedding reception of their dreams. Backgrounder: "Before they'd made any wedding plans, Chris was offered a business opportunity too good to pass up but that required an immediate move to New Jersey.
Michelle's conservative Filipino family insisted the couple marry before they would allow their daughter to go with him. In order to earn her parents' blessing, the couple agreed and was married in a hastily arranged, tiny service. The Fab Five's mission: help this eager groom give his bride the wedding reception of her dreams."
