Earlier this month Rhea & Carlo celebrated their Filipino nuptials with a large celebration. This was a special day for Rhea & Carlo because of the long distance they’ve had to live apart due to Rhea’s job in Japan…but Carlo was a stellar groom & did so much of the planning while Rhea was out of the country. Their love was strong and very evident – despite the distance they must live for now!
The day started at the always beautiful St. Joseph Basilica in downtown Edmonton – their full mass Filipino ceremony included 44 people in the processional – and of course included the veil, cord and arras ceremonies! Rhea was a picture of beauty with her cathedral length mantilla veil!
As the wedding party proceeded to a fun photo shoot in downtown Edmonton with Kelsy & Kelly of Kelsy Nielson Photographer – the preparations were underway for the 350+ reception at the Crowne Plaza-Chateau Lacombe. The ballroom was transformed into a wonderful bloom of romantic red roses created by Coral’s Designs! Their head table decor was artfully crafted by Exquisite Creations, as was the cake table and guest book table.
To continue with the romance, Rhea & Carlo danced their first dance to a song sung by her brother, and then enjoyed the rest of the night thanks to DJ Bas of Hear by Request.
We truly enjoyed being able to coordinate the final month of preparations for Rhea and Carlo! Rhea is already back in Japan in as we write this post….but they had shared a wonderful wedding week with their family and friends – and I know their love will keep them both close, despite the distance!
Congratulations on your wonderful wedding day Rhea & Carlo!
