Wedding Belles are Blinging

For the blushing bride, dreaming of the perfect ensemble for her big day would probably count as the most exciting part of planning a wedding; princess fantasies have never left the 'little girl' in her. Every girl dreams of looking like a queen, and that one special day certainly gives her the opportunity to fulfill that worldly fantasy.

Detail is key: from the dress, down to the jewelry, hair, and makeup; every little feature is crucial when orchestrating that final look. Add a little 'frosting' to your fashion-cake and you're good to go. Shopping for the appropriate jewelry can too be a challenge; one thing I want every bride to know is it need not break the bank! The fashion world has had its democratic transformation. Fashion no longer equates itself to labels; creativity has triggered the burgeoning of indie style and D.I.Y. Palamuti has attracted a wide range of admirers by using an assorted mix of mediums to craft its jewelry, as the brand ably caters to a variety of style personas- which includes the blushing bride.

Fashion awakens the artist in every woman, more so the dreamy belle.

How do you begin forever?!!#@#?

"How do you begin forever?" - This just might be the toughest question a girl has to answer. Believe me, beyond butterflies and utopia, a soon to be blushing bride has a lot more to think about besides her dreamy prince charming. Before we were women, we were simple-minded little girls. Love was succinct; heck, boil it down to the all too familiar fairytale story. The beautiful princess in distress is rescued by her knight-in-shining-armor, the dragon is slain, and soon enough wedding bells are ringing! If only the talking birds and singing mice were here to take care of all the pre-wedding dirty work!

Before I yell "wake up princess" and splash on some water on our soon to be "fairytale" brides, I am happy to bring about some good news! We may not have the magic of talking birds and singing mice, but we do have our very own modern-day fairy godmother; her name is Themes and Motifs - The Special Events Co. Gone are the days of the worrisome brides, for Themes and Motifs, with her army of fairies has come to slay the Bridezilla in every beauty.

Every princess needs her frost; but what if diamonds can never become her best-friend?! Imagine the pressure one beauty places on her dear prince charming's shoulders, as he spends sleepless nights wondering where to dig for gold in exchange for a set of expensive rocks?

Well fear not blushing beauties, because the wedding gods have heard you! They send us gifts named costume jewelry. Meet PJ Valenciano, owner and designer of Palamuti Storytelling Jewels. Taken under the Themes and Motifs wedding armada, this "jewel fairy's" dreamy custom-made creations are ever so ready to satisfy your heart's desire. Name it, she'll make it! Now let's toast to that!

*PJ's pretty rocks are available at the Themes and Motifs one-stop shop, located at the Makati Shangrila Hotel.
