<p>Held at the <strong>Manila Marriott Hotel</strong> in Pasay City on June 23, 2023, <strong>Liezl Jorge</strong>’s 40th birthday bash is a humble marriage of modern art and architecture elements and Philippine emblems. With <strong><a href="https://metro.style/people/society-personalities/gideon-hermosa-alodia-christopher-wedding/35032" target="_blank">Gideon Hermosa</a></strong>’s man-made magic, the <strong><a href="https://metro.style/fashion/inspiration/filipinianas-meeting-the-modern-filipina/33663" target="_blank">Filipiniana</a></strong>-inspired function came out as a cultural masterpiece. </p><div><br/></div><p>With the <strong><a href="https://metro.style/living/tips/base-builds-architect-and-designer-workshop/32154" target="_blank">bamboo</a></strong> material in mind and modern architecture as inspiration, <strong><a href="https://metro.style/weddings/suppliers/gideon-hermosa-launches-house-of-hermosa/17798" target="_blank">House of Hermosa</a></strong>’s master designer and events decorator transported the guests into a traditional space that serves a reimagined rendering of Filipino interiors, furnishings, and art.</p><div><br/></div><p>Apart from Gideon, Liezl’s 40th birthday celebration is brought into being by creative suppliers such as <strong>Rhed Sarmiento</strong> (events planning and coordination); <strong>Nice Print Photo</strong> (photography); <strong>Forevermine Wedding Films</strong> (videography); <strong>Rau Uson-Ablaza</strong> (white gown); <strong>Jhobes Estrella</strong> (dance outfit); <strong>Jefferson Si</strong> (footwear); <strong>Sound Level Production</strong> (technical production); <strong>LX Events Pro</strong> (staging); <strong>Adrian Gajudo</strong> (lighting direction); <strong>Always in Motion Live</strong> (graphics and visuals); <strong>Geraldine Uy</strong> (dance performances); <strong>3rd Avenue</strong> (live music); <strong>Manila String Machine</strong> (strings); <strong>Honey Glaze Cakes</strong> (cake); <strong>Anggulo Prints</strong> (photoman); <strong>Manila Craft</strong> (bar catering service); and <strong>Print Divas</strong> (invitations).<br/></p><div><br/></div><p>Hosted by <strong>Dianne Medina</strong> and <strong>Uma Rojo</strong>, the birthday party was a love letter to Philippine symbols. It has a bold take on the modern <em><strong><a href="https://metro.style/fashion/inspiration/stunning-modern-ternos-for-formal-and-casual-wear/25630" target="_blank">terno</a></strong></em>, as the bright and stylish fuchsia and blue fashion ensembles by <strong>Jo Rubio</strong> are an expression of the fierce yet feminine Filipina. </p><div><br/></div><p>Liezl Jorge highlighted her features with the touch of <strong>Toni Aviles</strong>’ makeup, too. The celebrity makeup artist and maven chose to beautify the birthday celebrator with a classic nude and natural look—muted lip tones, bushy brows, and a timeless bronze blush. Her soft tresses, on the other hand, were styled by <strong>Manilyn Moster</strong>. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Get a glimpse of this stunning Filipiniana-themed birthday in the gallery
