Michael Angeles and Czari Domingo Wedding

Article (news)

My 3+ years as Benefit Philippines&#x27; PR girly has finally paid off, as throughout planning, I would joke that this wedding is my Magnum Opus. Although, of course, it did come with its challenges, as I would often hear my suppliers jokingly tell me &quot;Iba ka dear!&quot;. Admittedly, I was incredibly (and sometimes unnecessarily) detail-oriented as my priority was to add unique and personal touches in all aspects of the wedding. I couldn&#x27;t help it, it&#x27;s the creative in me! I really wanted Mike&#x27;s and my personalities and love to shine, as well as showcase how much we love and care for every one of our guests. I’m a firm believer that love is truly in the small details.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747738070172JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0008.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Mike and Czari&#x27;s wedding invite shows off their playful personalities<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747736577354JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0171.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>The groom, Mike Angeles<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737227724JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0099 (2).jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>The bride, Czari DomingoMike and I have known each other since high school, but it wasn’t until bumping into each other again after college that he decided to ask me on a date. The rest is history. He doesn’t like to admit this, but he told me he fell in love with me in less than 10 days, hahaha! We’re so blessed that we have so many friends in common. It truly added to how meaningful the day was to us. Our coordinator even told us that church ceremonies aren’t often that well-attended. I think our friends knew how much it would mean to us. It was also so lovely to see everyone reunite and mingle throughout the day.</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737502184JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0068.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Czari with her family and friends<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737571608JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0154.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Mike with his mom and a photo of his late dad<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737826407JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0180.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Mike with his groom squadI don’t think we’ll ever get over the spectacular job our stylist Dave Sandoval did. I had presented him with the very romantic and moody white and cream decor vibe early in the planning process. As we approached the wedding, I worried that my peg was already being used by many couples. Just like magic, Dave was able to offer me fresh and creative twists. We loved the ceiling treatment. It was such a shocker to everyone that I chose white, but as a makeup artist for over a decade, my favorite color changes all the time. I knew that I would not regret choosing whites and creams down the road.</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737783547JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0016.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>The bride&#x27;s beautiful blooms<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737889931JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0361.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Mr. and Mrs. Angeles<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747737984970JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0319.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>You may now kiss the bride!One of the most meaningful parts of our wedding was also our menu, thoughtfully curated by the late Margarita Fores. Mike’s dad is from Pampanga, and he sadly passed away two years ago. It was important to us that we honor him by incorporating some of his favorite dishes from Pampanga into our menu. Margarita was even kind enough to visit Mike’s home in Pampanga to try the dishes herself for R&amp;D. The whole process of fixing our menu was truly unforgettable.</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747738260493JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0405 (1).jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>The wedding menu was curated by the late Margarita Fores<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747738325794JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0381.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>The dreamy wedding reception was designed by celebrity event stylist Dave Sandoval<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747738401075JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0410.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Tiny, thoughtful details<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747837492574JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0404.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Such a cute cake by The Delightful Miss Joyce</div>I was also able to use some of my favorite suppliers that are crowd favorites for beauty events, such as MiArt live art and Bricks and Memories Lego stations, which we opted for instead of traditional giveaways. Thankfully, these were still novel experiences for our guests that aren’t exposed to just how extra beauty events can be. It also wouldn’t be an event by me without a makeup retouch station filled with Benefit products, of course, positioned right by other wedding essentials such as Advil, Hydrite, Gaviscon, and inhalers.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747836995975JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0411.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Live art for the guests makes for cute souvenirs</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747837047312JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0525.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Let&#x27;s drink to that!We also didn’t want any part of the wedding to feel too stiff, so we made sure we had some fun games like our live Kiss Cam, and our “Pass Czari the Mike” karaoke game. My two moms kicked off the after-party with a surprise dance number, and I was able to happily get everyone to take shots with my custom-made, draped Tequila cart! </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747837823111JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0409.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>What a pretty tequila cart!</div>By the end of the weekend, I was just filled with so much joy at how everything went. It was all worth the months of planning, seeing all our loved ones enjoying themselves, and all our little touches. —Czari Domingo-Angeles<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747837233873JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0463.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>Congratulations to the cute newlyweds!</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747837145493JW_Mike&amp;Czari_Edits-0618.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/>What&#x27;s a wedding without a dance showdown?</div><div>Wedding Suppliers:</div>Church: Santuario de San AntonioReception Venue: White Space MakatiCaterer: Margarita ForesDate: March 15, 2025Photographer: Jaja SamaniegoVideographer: Hello &amp; Co.
