Modern Twist on Traditional
Jessica and Dave had a modern take on a traditional Filipino wedding ceremony and reception at the quietly stunning Martin Johnson House.
Jessica and her Bridesmaids all glowed!
The gorgeous rose gold dresses, styles customized to fit each individual’s personality, were such a complimentary color to the bright pops of purple.
To shake things up a bit, Dave had two Groomswomen!
He and the rest of the Groomsmen wore more traditional Filipino outfits, breezy formal and transparent button-down shirts.
Once the Bridal Party was all together, they painted a beautiful picture of rose gold, creams, plums, and lavenders.
The ceremony was out on the front lawn overlooking the sea and the day couldn’t have been more beautiful!
A traditional Filipino wedding ceremony is often conducted in a Catholic Church, but they incorporated many aspects of that traditional ceremony to theirs so as to bring forth the traditional values into their marriage.
In the black and white picture below, we see the Bride and groom wearing a garland of flowers.
This garland was woven into a circle and placed over their heads in an infinity symbol to represent their lasting promise to each other.
After the ceremony, the happy couple was able to escape to take some quiet time for themselves where Aldous Photography worked their magic and caught some priceless moments.
The Martin Johnson House has access to some of the most breathtaking spots to look out over the ocean.
Jessica and Dave chose to go with a rustic, vintage motif for their decor and we love all these tiny details!
The many custom doorknobs and lace were such a delicate and thoughtful touch!
Thankfully for Jessica and Dave, they had a brilliant Coordinator, Jenna Carino, to help them achieve their vision!
After dinner, instead of cake, Dave and Jessica wanted to further celebrate the Filipino culture
by having us serve their guests with a colorful mix of desserts!
We provided an ice cream sundae station with coconut ice cream and a mountain of exciting toppings for each guest to serve themselves.
Dave’s family also brought traditional home-made Filipino desserts!
Everything was lovely and we felt so honored to be chosen to help spend this special day with Jessica and Dave!
We wish them all the best!
