Project Duration:

2023-2024

Pairings:
Ella & Enrique
Tiara & Josh

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Filipinos love a good celebration. As a country with a rich history and a mix of diverse cultures, there is no shortage of fiestas and festivities that are always happening at every turn of the street. But out of all of these events, there is one major occasion that gets people the most excited: weddings.

There is nothing more delightful than witnessing the love between two people and being a part of the shared journey they are going to embark on together. As such, many couples want the aesthetic of their wedding to reflect their unique love story and their individual personalities. For these projects, I worked closely with each client to make the ideal design.

2023, Ella and Enrique

Ella Pangilinan wanted the visual identity of her wedding to symbolize her and Enrique’s personal stories and shared values. Working closely with her, I wove the couple's faith, family, and Filipino-Spanish culture into every detail of the visual language and strategy of the event.

I did extensive research to curate the mood and key visuals for the event, which were designed to be playful, colorful, and distinctly Filipino while retaining an ambience of elegance and refinement. I then compiled a brandbook that was sent to all of the wedding suppliers in order to streamline the colors, typography, and overall direction of the entire ceremony.

The principal wordmark was inspired by Ella’s love for Letras y Figuras. The illustrated elements take notes from Ella and Enrique’s personalities, which feature a mix of traditional Filipino motifs, vegetables in the Bahay Kubo song, and an overall nostalgic and warm presence throughout the whole monogram. Many of the illustrations were further adapted into various design elements that were used throughout the whole event, such as the signage, table cards, and the couple's book of vows.

2024, Tiara and Josh

Tiara and Josh wanted custom ask cards that were fun and playful, yet simple and cost-effective. Inspired by vintage, old-school Italian sardine packaging, I created an illustration that featured a bright, cheerful color palette with cheeky hand-drawn elements.

I carefully hand-cut the artwork and assembled them with a faux illustrated pull tab, then slipped the cards into cut-out envelopes that mimicked sardine tins. The final piece ended up being a charming and interactive design that carried a special heartfelt message to cherished friends.
