Bonne Bouquet In Jewel Tones

Lovely bride, Tricie wanted her bouquet to stand out in lovely jewel tones, which complemented her color motif.

I asked the bride to include trinkets, jewelry and brooches of her own as her something old and something borrowed.

Bonne Bouquet for Heidi

My third Bonne bouquet was made as a gift for one lovely bride.  Her friend Roxane, (who also gave Bonne bridal head pieces for her two other friends see here) commissioned a bouquet set in powder blue and gray tones with bejeweled brooches.

I was happy to receive her sweet email along with beautiful photos from her wedding.

 I think it's cool that she opted for a gray wedding gown by Mel Orlina -- quite unconventional, especially in our very conservative Filipino culture.  

Style Weekend Cover Feature

I am happy to share with you my first ever cover feature.

BONNE for Vania Romoff

Last summer, I was happy to receive a call from beautiful Filipina designer, Vania Romoff. She asked me to create a few headpieces to go with her latest collection.  Here are a few photos from her portfolio taken by Cholo Dela Vega.

I'm back from the long break.  It felt really good to be away from technology and recharge for five full days.  I just enjoyed the sand and the sea at my sister's in-laws' little island getaway.  Many thanks to the Miller Family for their warm hospitality.

I came home ready to finish a whole list of headpieces for weddings and whatnot. My favorite was working on a completely hand-sewn headpiece using pink Charmeuse fabric.  I will post photos as soon as I'm done with it.  :)  Although I find pink too girly for my taste, this shade of pink (especially in Charmeuse) is beginning to grow on me.

Happy Holy Days!

I am praying for sunny weather all week so I can finally enjoy the beach :)  

I will be on vacation  and digital detox from April 4-9.  Feel free to send me an email for any queries that you may have.  I will try my best to answer them all as soon as I get back.  

Hope you've got awesome plans for the long break! Don't forget to bring a hat or two :)

Summer is finally here! And although the weather has been quite schizophrenic lately, with sudden shifts from sunny to rainy,  I always try to wear something that can adapt to it.   A favorite piece of mine, which I take with me on hot and cool (or rainy) weather is a Bonne turban.

For urban dwellers, like me, it's the perfect piece to wear on "lazy hair days" too!

I'm also happy to share that Bonne summer head candy is featured on the March issue  of BusinessWorld HighLife.

Many thanks to fab stylist, Guada Reyes.  You can view Guada's awesome work here.
