Yellow and Silver color for a Debutante (Ynah Bassig's 18th birthday)

Ricci Reyes-Ang of R&A Events got in touch with me to refer a coming out party for an 18 hear old lass Ynah Bassig. Sooner than I realized that the parents of Ynah , Sir Nonoy and Ma'am Margot happens to be related to me by affiliations.  The debutante's grandmother from her mother's side happens to be the second cousin of the husband of my physician Aunt (+)  who happens to be the sister of my father. Nope its actually not complicated.  Its just a matter of fast analysis of association. 
Ynah is a student of the Pontifical University of the Philippines or popularly known as UST (University of Santo Tomas).  Ricci have arranged a lunch meeting at Spirals of the  Sofitel Philippine Plaza where the Ynah's celebration will be held.  A simple family but very capable of mounting up an event of such magnitude.  I was to make two attires for Ynah, and dress up the entire family including their very pleasant grandmother.  Sir Nonoy and Ma'am Margot are so busy with their careers and I was endorsed to Ma'am Margot's sister Larisa to be their contact person  and coordinator with the attire concerns.
I am very appreciative of this family as they allowed me to do my proposal design and they took it from there.  No wannabees.  It made my work a lot easier and my appreciation for trusting me 100% with all the designs, styles and even colors.  I chose a combination of yellow and silver for Ynah  and stay away from the tradition debutante color of pink, blush, hot pinks and the likes.



Too bad I realize I was asked by an old friend to stand as one of their principal sponsors.  I would have loved to be present but my first commitment had to be the one and should be attended to as I commit myself to my career.

Come the day of Ynah's celebration day, her suite room was indeed packed with relatives and suppliers alike.  Peter Marquez  Photography and video took charge of the coverage and Cel Sabile was their hair and make-up artist for everyone and Rosie de Vera's Flowers and Foliage provided the floral centerpieces for all the tables at the Visayas Ballroom of Hotel Sofitel. I provided the attire of the entire family and R&A Events specialists was in-charge coordinating the celebration proper.
Me and my entire staff made sure that Ynah had her gala gown worn very well especially her petticoat.  It was time for her to position herself outside the door the ballroom . My staff was making sure that Ynah in her fabulous elaborate skirt in yellow and metallic silver top was well in place.  The door finally opened and off went Ynah walking the aisle as the main celebrant of this event.
