THE RECEPTION
A wedding reception was held at Fernwood Gardens in Tagaytay City after the ceremony.
Princess Anne Ramos, head planner of Events by Miss P, did full coordination of the couple's wedding.
According to Princess, Rossel and Anthony planned the whole event in five months.
Both of them were very hands-on with the planning of their second wedding.
Princess told PEP.ph in an interview via Instagram, "Rossel was more hands-on because she’s also a coordinator but for corporate events. We have different concepts and ideas though.
"But in the end, we made sure to make their wedding beautiful and memorable... Ka Tunying was present in several meetings despite his busy schedule."
The couple wanted "paradise" as the theme of their wedding, but more than that, Princess said, "They specifically request to highlight their love for family and religion."
Events stylist FJ Sionson used mostly pastel-colored flowers to achieve the theme the couple wanted.
Meanwhile, Zuni Catering prepared the sumptuous meals for the couple and their well-loved guests.
Pastry chef Aileen Conde of Honey Glaze Cakes baked a seven-tier wedding cake for the couple.
On Honey Glaze Cakes's Instagram account, Aileen shared the inspiration behind the couple's wedding cake, "This towering elegant Victorian themed cake matches perfectly with the garden wedding ambiance of our couple tonight. The metallic finish on the laced body shimmered all through the night."
MYX VJ Ai dela Cruz and GMA-7 news anchor-host Atom Araullo hosted the couple's wedding reception.
The couple and their guests witnessed several performances on their special night.
This included Zoey and Helga's cover of the song "Feels Like Home."
