Behind the Veil Cacho Llige Nuptials
Cool weather, Christmas spirit in the air, shopping madness, epic Manila traffic, a few ingredients that make December a very busy time of any year. Christmas preparations and families coming home for a celebration make it an ideal month to get married. They bring in the warmth and cheer of the Holiday season and the festive Christmas decorations alone bring another cheer dimension. In another blog, I’ll list down top reasons why having a wedding in December is not being selfish. Here is another instalment of my Behind the Veil series with Mercedes Cacho.
This is what Mercedes had to say regarding her wedding preparations for her big day.
1) Please tell me about yourself, what do you do for a living , what are your passions, and hobbies?
2) How did you find out about me (Acie Fores Makeup Artist)? What made you want to work with me?
You were recommended by my family.
3) How did you like the outcome of our time together, specially on your special day?
Acie and her team were wonderful, very professional.
4) What’s one special memory you have of your wedding that you love? Could you share that photo with us?
5) What was a good beauty moment for you during the wedding day itself?
Getting ready with Acie, I love her face masks, they were so refreshing!!!
6) Favorite beauty product, application used during your wedding and why?
I really liked the lipstick Acie and I chose. It was a subtle rose pink color from Project Vanity “Woke up like this”.
7. Any bridal tips you want to share with future Brides planning their wedding?
You will probably break out a week before the wedding from the stress of it all. If you can, I suggest going away for a short relaxing weekend, or do whatever you can to avoid it. Apply a face mask or get a professional facial.
8. What is one thing you could change during your wedding preparation?
Sleep in a little longer. I was so excited, I woke up at 5 am. Acie arrived at the scheduled 9 am call time. I could’ve gotten another solid hour!
9. Any beauty rituals you did or received you want to share?
I never get used to get regular facials. However it was highly recommended by Acie. I’m so glad I did it! My skin loved it and I found the experience to be so relaxing! Now that I’m back home in Australia, I now book facials regularly.
10. Favourite Photo of you during the wedding and why.
This is one of my favourite photos, it reminds me how beautiful the whole evening was! All the stress of planning turned into happy moments which made all of this possible.
