The couple had an outdoor ceremony at The Mango Farm in Antipolo. Dylan of Vatel Manila set up a canopy with sheer fabric and a pair Lou Ghost chairs for the couple. A jute carpet lined the aisle accented with white roses in white baskets, dried twigs, and lamps with candles. Dylan also hung capiz-shell wind chimes from trees.

One of the bride's DIY projects for the wedding was the escort cards. "I used brown paper bought from Papemelroti and accented [each card] with a button," the bride shares. The handwritten text and bright buttons gave the cards a warm, playful look. For a rustic vibe, the cards were set on a grass-laden wooden box.

Place cards for the VIP guests were among the bride's DIY projects. She used brown paper and accented each card with sewn fabric flowers. The handwritten script channeled a warm, laid-back feel.

Tucked with the blue table napkins were doilies typewritten with love quotes. A string of twine was used to hold each napkin in place.

The couple wanted their reception to have a rustic look. To achieve this, empty wine bottles, dried moss, different kinds of cacti, and paper doilies were used as key accents.
