Webster

No it's not the dictionary (though, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I was told I was shooting a Webster event back in May this year). Stephen Webster is a British designer of fine jewelry. But his jewelries are different from the normal jewelries you see. They have very unique designs. I call it 'rocker' design, 'coz they rock! No, really! It's like those jewelries only rock stars wear. Just have a look at his website and you'll know what I mean. 


Anyway, I just want to share Stephen Webster's 2 jewelry collections launching events. One was held last May and the other just recently. Both were held at Empire (bar & restaurant) inside Monarch Dubai.

In both events, the ambiance was dark. Literally, the place was dark. There were mood lightings here and there and lights inside the jewelry showcases... but that's about it.

The event last May was a sit-down dinner.

This time, it was more of a party like event. Here's the place before guests started to arrive...

Some of the awesome jewelry...




From what I've heard, the jewelry collection at the last event were made more affordable to target the middle class. So if you're up to a distinctive set of jewelry, I suggest you go check out Stephen Webster's collections at Azal Boutique (The Boulevard at Emirates Towers), Bloomingdales (Dubai Mall) and Harvey Nichols (Mall of the Emirates).

Gift Opening

Wow! It's been a month now since my last post. I had been busy with a lot of stuff since Zoei's 1st birthday party. In between work there's the halloween party, which we hosted. Then Mabe', Zoei and I went to Hong Kong and stayed there for a week. Then when we got back, spent four days preparing balloon decorations for our kumareng Jenny's birthday party. 


But first thing I want to share is Zoei's gift opening. Zoei was so tired after her birthday party that she wasn't able to open her gifts. So we did the photoshoot at the comfort of our home.



Loving her new shoes...







Peeking through what's inside...


Zoei also received a lot of clothes and I'll try to do a separate photoshoot for that when I get a free time one of these days. Thank you everyone for the gifts!

Zoei Turns 1

Yes, my baby is now 1 year old! As per my previous post, Mabe' and I have been very busy with the preparation for Zoei's 1st birthday celebration. It was held at Burger King, Al Rigga last October 22. The venue is nice but Mabe' wanted to decorate the place with a ladybug theme. Luckily for us, Hazel, Gayle, Ninang Grace and Ninong Ryan volunteered to do the balloon decorations. And with the help of other guests who came early, we all put up the balloons and made the place a Ladybug themed party!


Here are some photos I managed to take... (being a host and photographer at the same time wasn't easy)

Zoei's dress(by Babyfashionista), shoes and earrings...

The fully balloon-decorated venue...


You see the balloon burst in the middle, the transparent balloon with small balloons inside? I made that! Cool huh? What is it for? It's sort of a modern version of "pabitin". The celebrant gets to pop the big balloon then the guests grab the small balloons. Inside the small balloons is a piece of paper with an associated prize.


The 2D ladybug that Mabe made... (you can see the 2D bee in the photo above)

The guestbooks... I made the one on the left. The other guestbook was a gift from Michelle L. Thank you Michelle.







 
The party turned out to be a success. Everyone had fun. Specially the adults during the balloon burst!

Big THANKS to Hazel, Gayle, Ninong Ryan and Ninang Grace for the balloon decorations... Ninong Bob and Ninong Dem for helping put up the balloons... Emi for removing all the BK balloons ;-) ... Beth for the photo coverage(I'll be posting her photos at my FB account when I get them)... and for all those who came and made Zoei's 1st birthday party very memorable. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOEI ARMAY! Mommy and Daddy love you!
