A Philippine Ceremony

Raisa and Bryan married in their home province in the Philippines. At 32 weeks pregnant, Raisa chose the Chloe Maternity Dress and looked stunningly beautiful.

Where did you meet?

We met preparing for a wedding, when my husband’s band was searching for a keyboard player and I was recommended by a common friend. He was my contact that time and since our first meeting I already liked him. 

Where did you get married and why did you choose the venue?

We got married at our home in the province which already was already a good venue for us. The timing was perfect where the bougainvilleas are in full bloom and the hall at that time was already expanding and renovated.

Tell us about the dress!

The dress! It was a 3 month pre-wedding find that I instantly fell in love with. The maternity (Chloe) dress was simple yet elegant and without hesitation I immediately bought it. I got exactly more than what I paid for. The quality of fabric was thick and comfortable during the wedding with an expandable fabric, I was able to be freely moving being 32 weeks pregnant. 

What advice would you have for other brides planning a wedding?

Involve your partner and someone you’re confident to have the same taste as you and as excited as you in planning the wedding. Specially since I was pregnant with confusing wants and needs during that planning stage, I sought my older sister's visionary skills and 3rd party opinion regarding me and my husband’s decision with the invitation, colour theme, program, food and tokens. 

I don’t know about wedding planners but it was such a relief that I had a cousin who was a host and a wedding planner who helped me pro bono with the program and list of things to think about 2 months before the wedding. 

Do not involve more relatives. The final decision is still between you and your husband. 

*on the wedding itself my husband and I prepped each other that no matter what happens and whatever mishaps we will encounter on the day, we’ll just enjoy and be happy with everything. No to negative complaints and comments from the visitors. It’s our day and moment. 

Any Fun Facts?

Tiffany rose helped a lot with the delivery delay! I almost wore an ugly back up dress when the shipping in our country consumed a month from the time the product arrived from Netherlands. For Philippine customers, use Fedex Express or buy months earlier to lessen stress.
