Exchange of Vows In a Spanish Theme (Reyes - Hugo Wedding, May 2, 2008)




Six months ago, I received an e-mail inquiry from a bride-elect asking about theme weddings. Rosed (pronounced as Ro-sed) Hugo had a Spanish theme on her mind and was referring to me her concepts with apparels for her wedding day with Paolo Reyes. A relatively young couple, Paolo and Rosed are enterpreneurs focused on two fields of business.

Rosed has decided to become a full time business person when she opted to leave a big multinational company specializing in personal products. Paolo a son of a well established name business in the field of grooming and wellness. I enjoyed working for them not just because these couple were nice and easy to please but also because their parents were equally pleasant and confident to us. I was very impressed with how they gave me their complete trust and did not pretend to know-how and update of styles and designs for their gowns. Goes the same with four of their six female principal sponsors (Nory, Vivian, Anabel and Maricon)whom I was tasked to create for their respective gowns. It gave me more inspiration to work harder for their concerns.
Come their wedding day, we were advised by their wedding planner and coordinator Erika Que of Perfect Moments of their room number at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza.
As we entered room 652 where Rosed was, the room was filled with friends , relatives and wedding suppliers like us busy with work.
Louie Allan Photography and Videography was taking turns documenting the event. I was just working side by side with them last week in a wedding in Tagaytay. Rosed and Paulo gave me a Spanish-inspired wedding invitation they themselves designed. Make-up team comprised of hair and make-up artists from Carlo Reyes Salon. Rosed had more than enough time to take pictures at the hotel afterwhich we all headed to San Agustin Church in Intramuros for the wedding ceremony. Summer has really been imposing at this time. It was warm and humid.
We can definitely feel the water droplets sliding in our body. But this is such a great event! we didn't mind the heat after all. This event is a milestone for Paolo and Rosed and we felt so priveledge to have been part of this wedding preparation. Reception for this union immediately fotallowed at the Spanish ambianced venue at the Villa Immaculada with Steve Tamayo as the exclusive caterer.
