Aphrodite.

Taken last April during my cousin's wedding. I've only uploaded these photos now since I didn't have that much time on my hands until now. I didn't even have the time to edit the photos so all were taken from natural lights in the location.

This photo was taken outside. The bride and groom had a garden wedding and this was the made-up entrance to the ceremony. It was already night time, after the ceremony when this was taken.

                 

Hair was beautifully done at Metro Salon, V. Luna corner Kalayaan Avenue, Quezon City. I love how the stylist worked hard to style my hair and make these intricate details on it, and it looked well with the theme of my dress.

These really adorable accessories were actually my grandmother's. It was perfect for the dress I was wearing because it had that Greek feel to it. I love the matching earrings and ring, and how both have an engraved figure of a woman.

This beautiful dress is actually only from an online shop here in the Philippines. I was having trouble looking for the perfect dress to wear for the occasion since I don't normally own and wear dresses. I don't even have that much formal dresses until now, when I decided to buy dresses just in case there was another occasion which I have to go to.

These peep-toe heels were actually bought for the occasion. My boyfriend got them for me. I chose to wear nude heels to compliment the dress. I didn't want to wear colored heels so it wouldn't attract too much attention and the focus will still remain on the details of the dress. I don't think black or white heels will look good with this dress as well.

80th.

Last July 30, 2012 it was my grandmother's 86th birthday. Every year we celebrate her birthday with a blast! I know a few days have already passed since then, but I just wanted to share these photos with you guys :)

My lovely grandmother with bouquets of red roses from my family and from my relatives.

Lovely fountain on champagne glasses.

This is what I love about her party. It's a Mongolian Buffet from Sweet Inspirations. Here's what you do...

1. Line up with everyone else.
2. Get a bowl and choose either rice or noodles.
3. On the right side there are choices of vegetables (carrots, cabbage, onions, tofu, etc.)
4. On the left side you can make your own sauce (from sweet, sweet & spicy, sweet & sour or hot & spicy) there are instructions on how you can make the sauce.
5. The last part is you get to choose what you'll top it with (beef, pork, chicken, fish or squid

 Did I mention that all the ingredients are raw and you'll have to get it cooked afterwards? This is the most exciting part. After you get all the ingredients you like, you'll give it to the waiter waiting at the end of the line, and he/she will give you a number. There's a cook outside who'll grill your food and when it's done, it will be delivered on your table.

My grandmother's birthday cake from Estrels. One of the best cakes I've ever tasted. It's pre-ordered and they can customize it in any way you like. I really like the colors of the rose icings.

And here she is before blowing the candles on her cake :)

We really had a good time that night. Everyone on my mother's side of the family was there and we really enjoyed the celebration. This August 13, we'll be celebration my mom's 50th birthday. I already ordered a cake for her from the same shop as a surprise. I hope it will be a good party as well <3
