Grandest Grand Entrance of Newlyweds we’ve seen by far!
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

What a way to entertain the guests right before the newly-minted Mr. & Mrs. make their Grand Entrance at the wedding reception!

The couple is Errol Aricheta + Aubrey Carampel (yes, the bride is the showbiz reporter for GMA News). They got hitched December 17, 2011 at Sta.Rita de Cascia in QC and the reception was in White Space in Pasong Tamo, Makati. Not pedicab-able. No, not by long shot. This video was edited by wedding videographer, Stephen Prado.  He co-directed this with Cesar Apolinario — also a Kapuso reporter.

ENJOY! :D

Big budget or small budget. Your choices are endless. Indeed, it’s more fun in the Philippines!


Sampaguita - the perfect flower for any Pinoy wedding!
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

There is no bloom more appropriate for a Filipiniana themed wedding than the Sampaguita, our very own National Flower.  But oftentimes,  the only  sampaguita we see during weddings are the garlands sold by vendors outside the church.

Serge Igonia of Loi Floral Sense sent us some pictures how he uses our national flower in weddings.  Check these out!
