1,001 wedding ideas at the Philippine Wedding Summit

MANILA, Philippines - Themes & Motifs brings together wedding professionals not only from the Philippines, but also from the US, Malaysia, Indonesia, Dubai and Australia at the 9th Philippine Wedding Summit (PWS) ongoing until June 29 at the ground floor, SMX, Mall of Asia.

At the PWS, 1,001 ideas for planning weddings are offered. Should the bride’s gown be white or ecru?  Will it be a white fondant cake with dainty gumpaste flowers or a whimsical art cake?  Must the bouquet be made of the traditional fresh roses or calla lilies? How about the novel idea of succulents for a bouquet.

More than 300 exhibitors will satisfy every whim and fancy of the bride-and-groom to be, their parents and anyone else who has a say in the wedding.

Highlights this year are food-tasting event presented by Hizon’s Catering with its new culinary experts concocting wedding menus. Smart Shot Studio offers special bundled rates for photo and video packages, while Goldenhills Jewelry offers discounts on wedding and engagements rings on top of raffle prizes worth more than P150,000. 

Free career enhancement seminars will be held for wedding suppliers. Speakers include Rita Neri (wedding planning); Henry Pascual (event styling); Mary Kay expert (corporate image and skin care); and Chinkee Tan (financial success planning).

Every P1,000 booked during the Philippine Wedding Summit entitles one to a raffle coupon for a honeymoon trip to Boracay.  All non-winning entries will automatically qualify for the grand draw of the Paris & Diamonds Promo to be held at the 25th Grand Celebration of Wedding Expo Philippines in September. Hourly raffle prizes donated by exhibitors will also be given away throughout the event with the announcement of winners to be done via Twitter (#themesandmotifs) and Facebook (/themesandmotifs).

All online pre-registrants to the PWS are automatically issued a wedding website with Facebook integration, which they can customize to contain their very own albums of photos, videos, and blog.

Soon-to-weds can accept well wishes and greetings from their family and friends from all over world through the “Send Us Your Wish” module of their wedding website. They may also upload photos of the members of their entourage to the “Our Entourage” page to help break the ice among them even before the wedding date.

The free admission ticket to PWS can be downloaded from a registrant’s wedding website.
