Our Filipiniana Themed Wedding - Ideas to consider

Choosing a wedding theme was not that easy for us.  We were torn between just having color motif and having a rustic feel.  Until my ex-fiance-now-husband suggested why not have a Filipiniana-themed wedding.

Save the Date

Formal Invitation

We were both ecstatic as we shared the news to our respective families.  The second challenge was to select the color motif that can go with the theme.  We had black and red, coral and bluegreen, and turquoise and red.  The last tandem was what we chose since it will just be in tangent with the Christmas colors that season.

In this article, you will see the various details that were worked on.

The Invitations

The invites were hand-crafted by my sister, Marisse. She has an arts and crafts business under the name of Rookiehands.  All the texts in the invites are in Filipino. We had to research in the internet the had them corrected by the Filipino speaking friends of ours.

The Sacramental Details

Bible and Candle

Thirteen foreign coins

Rings and match

The Reception

Slicing our cake

Wedding favor and table setting

Tokens for the Godparents, Sponsors, and Entourage, and Service Providers

Sa Wakas instead of the usual Just Married

Labor of Fun and Creativity

It started in 2006 when my sister purchased a desktop and printer that she commenced making simple invitations for wedding occasions.  Her then boyfriend, now her husband of five years, was her creative partner and together they ventured in this hobby-turned-income-generating activity.  Now, their products and services reached parts of Mindanao, Luzon, and even Calgary, Canada!

They used to name their 'company', TamWorks but in 2013, they re-branded it as Rookiehands-Crafts and Prints.  Maybe because they still consider themselves as rookies for this kind of endeavor yet I already consider them as genius in this field - spare you me having to patronize, hehehe.

I am featuring their arts and crafts as they also made our wedding save-the-dates and formal invitations for our December 2014 wedding.  How my then fiance appreciated the amazing designs and well-crafted details!  We had a Filipiniana theme wedding and it was one-of-a-kind. Even my sister was quite ecstatic as she worked on the project.
