cristine reyes wedding

Hi all!

It’s February! The month of LOVE!

What better month to start my new ‘Affordable Wedding Series.’ I have wanted to create content on this topic for some time now. I remember when I was planning for my civil wedding and I was constantly looking up information on how to plan and have an affordable wedding. So this series is for you ladies and gentlemen to get some information, inspiration and ideas for your own affordable weddings

So, Cristine Reyes, a popular Filipino actress recently got married in a very intimate wedding of less that 30 people. It was a very simple and fuss-free affair. Her wedding was held outdoors and she did her own very simple wedding makeup.

Yes! A d.i.y bride. So let’s get some tips for the makeup department. She used matte products with little or dare I say no shimmer products. This is very useful when you have an outdoor wedding at either a garden, resort or beach for example. She kept to a fresh-faced, youthful and natural look. There seemed to be no eye shadow on. Her lashes looked natural and her lips were a “corally” nude shade. For the look that I prepared in my video I decided to keep to a coral lip instead or a nude one since, as a bride, it would be nice to have a pop of colour on your lips, inspired by a photo of Cristine on instagram. She also had a coral blush that made her look like a perfect ‘blushing bride.’

Unlike other actresses who recently got married, she is the most natural and fuss-free bride I have seen. Thus, I really recommend this look as you will not feel the stress when putting on your makeup.

Makeup aside, here are some tips for an affordable wedding inspired from Cristine’s wedding.

#1: Have a small but intimate wedding

#2: Do your own makeup (Bridal makeup can cost a bomb!)

#3: Stick to comfortable themed weddings; e.g. beach, garden, park weddings

#4: No designer gowns

So, that’s it for today folks, see you again for the next one! Thanks for reading and watching!
