girl gone cuckoo – Girl Gone Cuckoo

Bride and Breakfast recently launched their Youtube channel showing brides various how to’s and tips in achieving their dream wedding. For their fifth installment on their #bnbweddingtutorial, they’ve tapped my styling company, Cuckoo Cloud Concepts, photographer Marlon Capuyan and other Cebu-based suppliers to show future brides How to Do a Rustic Wild Berries Wedding. I have to say that the BNB team has challenged me yet again with a bolder color palette. I do love a challenge and I especially love doing something out of the usual — because you know, pastels dominate weddings and this one is totally different. I totally adore the berry hues of this shoot and having to work with rich tones. Here are some behind-the-scene shots (using our camera — official photos by Marlon Capuyan can be found here.)

As for what I wore that day, I opted for a loose knit top and flowy skirt — something I can easily move around in.

I’ve always been a fan of Etude and how the brand carries products that perfectly matches the Asian skin and features. I especially love their Oh M’Eye Line eyeliner as it’s very easy to apply and doesn’t smudge and spread to the bottom of my eye (the struggle of having chinky eyes). I once tried wearing it to snorkel (yes! I’m crazy like that) and it didn’t wear off til I rubbed it off.

So of course when I heard that Etude was opening their biggest shop in Cebu at SM Seaside, I couldn’t pass up the chance to discover what other amazing products they have in store. It was also a good excuse to go frilly girly and spend some time with friends in the midst of the wedding season chaos. Did I mention I’m a new mom too? LOL. So I’ve been haggard more than I’m made up these days.
