Krisel & Noel Izar are former W@Wies who recently ventured into business they called  Graphizar Designs.  They design wedding invites and monograms, but what caught my attention are the caricatures they do for soon-to-wed couples.

In their site, it says that a couple’s caricature only costs P1,000 which includes a pencil sketch and a color draft both for approval before final output in .jpg or any format. If you want an invite layout with the couple’s caricature, that’s just P1,200.  Needless to say, the rates are applicable as of this posting and are subject to change.

Ever heard of  Bio Dove Balloons?

These are different from conventional balloons.  It’s white, bird-shaped, and flies much slower compared to their rubber counterparts. Oh, and they’re made of 100% biodegradable materials.  This will make both animal rights activists and environmentalists happy.

This product is made exclusively by UK-based Sky Lanterns, another ‘flying innovation’ we’ve featured here before.

So the question now is will these be available in the Philippines?

The answer is YES!

Weddings by Victoria, thru it’s holding company Velpat Corp., has recently been awarded by Sky Lanterns Ltd.  the exclusive rights to distribute the original, UK-patented quality standard Sky Lanterns and Bio Dove Balloons in our country.

We’ve been told that these are now available in Wedding Library branches and Dragon Fireworks outlets.

Unique. Symbolic. Relevant.

That’s how I describe the wedding rings of Jong & Monique.  Each ring has been individually engraved with each other’s names and stands on it’s own like any other wedding rings. Nothing really bloggable about that.

What makes them truly special is that the smaller ring (Monique’s) can nestle perfectly inside the bigger ring (Jong’s).   The pair appears to makes a bigger/thicker ring when put together and their sum conveys an even bigger message.

Here’s how the custom-made rings look like:

The rings were especially designed and engraved for the couple by Matus Jewellery.

Ut In Omnibus Glorificetur Deus (That in all things, God may be glorified)!

Imagine a dozen or more paper lanterns glowing and floating the nighttime skies.

They’re called sky lanterns or fire lanterns and they are gaining popularity in weddings in the UK.  Those who tuned in the Judai & Ryan wedding TV special may have seen their guests releasing what seem like glowing paper balloons.  Now, people are asking what they were and were to get them.

Sky lanterns is a great addition, or alternative, to firework displays. Online, they’re available in sites like skylanterns.com.

Via the W@W-SDG (Suppliers’ Discussion Group), we learned that Design Manila have this available locally.  View this video for an actual launch of these lanterns in a recent event they’ve handled.

Light it up.  Make a wish. Then let it fly.

While browsing the website of Celebrations! – the bridal show & special events expo happening this weekend in SMX — I’ve encountered this feature about this unique product for men who wants to add a few more inches in time for the honeymoon… er… wedding day pala!

It’s by Bradford Shoe Co. which is joining a wedding fair for the first time.  The company has developed  “height tech” shoes for men who want to look 3-4″ inches taller instantly and effortlessly.  The shoes look and feel no different from regular shoes.

Unlike elevator shoes, Bradford claims theirs are specially designed and engineered by not simply inserting additional insole into regular shoes.  They say doing this would make a regular shoe extremely uncomfortable, painful and may even injure your feet.  Below is a diagram of Bradford’s AddHeight-Technology.

This is especially worth considering for grooms who want to appear taller than his bride especially if she’s really keen on wearing high heels. As for me, I’ll go look for the Bradford booth in Celebrations! this weekend and try me a pair! Astig kaya matangkad!  hehehe.
