Notoriously in demand artists Ace and Kit Mandac of the well-liked Ava’s Cakes and Partyshop in Ilocos are sharing with us photos from a recent wedding at the historic bluff-top Spanish Colonial Revival estate, the Casa Romantica (overlooking the Pacific Ocean) in San Clemente, California.

Kit outlines it briefly, “A complete beach-vintage-garden wedding styling for Riversiders lawyer Erika and surgeon Phil, who first met in a UCLA campus” 

Kit’s feelings infect. Before flying to the US, she intimated she was getting butterflies in the stomach. Now that they’re back in Sunshine City, I asked, how would she describe Ava’s first fete styling abroad? “I am actually still in cloud 9 that somehow we were able to pull it through 2-hour ingress with a very limited manpower… yet the guests and the couple found what we did very lovely,” she says lightheartedly.

The photos taken with their own cam are a feast for the eyes. And the heart. (It reminds me King size *smiles*)

Feel the California dream…

They made sweet floral arrangements of hydrangeas, phalaenopsis, dendrobiums, dolce vitas, gardenias, roses and peonies. They also styled the rehearsal luncheon a day before at Bellefleur, Carlsbad.

From Ilocos, best wishes and congratulations to Erika and Phil!
