Last night was Rica Peralejo`s Despedida de Soltera (literally farewell to being single,it is a send-off party held near the wedding date in honor of the bride-to-be by her family) at 1 Esplanade.
The concept of the party: The Prom
The Prom? Teena Barretto, her wedding planner explained that since Rica never got to go to the prom, her last party as a single woman would be a `prom`, and with her of course as `prom queen`.
The JR Prom. Quite apt for Joe and Rica

What`s a prom without a nice corsage?

A crown…

A sash…

A romantic ambiance…


sweet couples…


and most important of all for the prom queen…..

the prom king!
Well, next to the rock-e-oke that is, =P

To the King and Queen of Hearts- A lifetime full of dancing =)
Cheers!

Special thanks to WE`s fab editorial assistant Cristina Roxas for the pictures. Event styling by Badang Rueda, who incidentally also did Roselle Nava`s wedding, where Rica was a bridesmaid.

Marbs! Your blog posts are wonderful! I’m glad to see you blogging again. Sorry for being so delinquent, I’ll try to fix the blog’s width problem as soon as possible (although it looks fine on Firefox, will check it on Chrome in a while). p.s. are you in Manila?
