There’s always something ethereal that comes alive
when a summer afternoon takes a bohemian twist. It’s laid-back, fresh, bursting
with colors—almost like being stuck in eternal spring time! Ah, the perfect
time to fall in love…
And we’re getting us some Boho lovin’ in Hyds and
Carlo Cecilio’s wedding!

Photographers Carlo and Hyds is one couple that we
are so blessed to work with. And it’s not just because these two are dear
friends of ours, also working the wedding circuit. Carlo and Hyds share a sweet
love story that’s got God’s handprints all over it! (Trust me, when cat-versus-dog
enemies like Carlo and Hyds turn into adoring lovebirds, that’s what you call a
miracle!) And they’re not one to keep the gratitude to themselves!
Carlo and Hyds wanted their wedding to be a treat
for all their loved ones—a celebration of the love and support that their
families and friends have shared with them all these years. They wanted it to
be festive yet very meaningful, even families will have a memorable time.
That’s why when they said they wanted a very fun ‘Boho chic’ look for their
wedding, we immediately knew we were on the same page.
‘Love One
Another’
Hyds picked the theme ‘Love One Another’ because
these were the words that God led her to when she was praying for Carlo. It
came from the passage in John 15:17 which commands us to “love one another”.
With this, Hyds thought of what she calls ‘Jack and Jill,’ banners holding
hands with hearts between them. Very simple and sweet.

Showers in Summer
Hyds has always loved walking under showers of
dried leaves in summer. There’s just something about the leaves and soft
breezes that makes her feel God’s intimate presence. And that very feeling is
what we wanted to capture the moment she walked down the aisle. We had the aisle
laiden with dried leaves and the entry to the aisle adorn with vine curtains
and floral borders. To add a twist, too, we had the kids play with really big
white balloons with the words ‘Here Comes the Bride’ as Hyds was walking
towards the altar.

Afternoon Blooms
The bride gave specific orders on how she wanted
her wedding bouquet to feel and look: “like picking random flowers on a walk
around the forest”. And just like that, we were on board with her dream-like
theme! Hyds’ bouquet lay stunning with ivy leaves, choice shrubs, and baby’s
breath. (We even accessorized it with a vintage camera charm, for a personal
touch!) The rest of the entourage
carried beautiful pompom bouquets with blue and yellow checkered ribbons and
assorted accents. As for the other floral set-ups, the couple requested for a
Baby’s Breath-only styling.

Nook Looks
To make the wedding especially fun for their
guests, Carlo and Hyds thought of having cute, sweet nooks! One was the
Bohotique wherein guests find dressers filled with boho accessories to complete
their outfits—bangles, fedoras, earrings, stylish hats, necklaces—all for their
keeps! Carlo, too, had his sweet side let loose through a Sweets nook featuring
overflowing candies and gummy bears which the kids surely enjoyed. Families also
had fun when we provided kites that the kids played with and flew although out
that windy afternoon.
But would we forget about the lovely couple? Of
course not! We made sure the two treasured their romantic moment on our unique couple’s
area set-up--a twin bed with chic blue sheets and brushed white side tables.
Adorning this cosy spot are light blue, pink and white pompom flowers.

A Personal Touch
Carlo and Hyds made their wish plain and simple:
that everything be made personal for all their guests. In fact, a few months
before their wedding, the bride had been collecting empty wine bottles to give
away to their guests. The bottles will contain Bible verses that the couple had
prepared for their families and friends.
Other personal touches highlighted the couple’s
shared passion for photography.
