Despite the hurdles faced last year, the celebrated couple Chiz Escudero and Heart Evangelista have demonstrated that love triumphs over adversity.
As we honor their enduring love and the splendor of their wedding, let us also shine a light on two of the creative geniuses who helped bring their dreams to life.
Badang Rueda, the mastermind behind the overall coordination and event styling, has been an integral part of Heart and Chiz’s journey since 2015.
“I met Heart during the YES magazine celebrity home shoot in 2013, then the production team asked me to be one of their guests in her GMA wedding TV show, Weddings TV, biniro ko sya pag ikakasal sya ako gagawa ng kasal nya (I laughingly told her that I would be her event stylist for her wedding) and it all happened. I manifested this.”, shares Badang.
“The altar design I crafted for the ceremony doubled as the entrance tunnel to the reception,” Badang shares.
Embracing a theme of simplicity with a palette of whites and greens, Badang ensured that “less is more” resonated throughout every aspect of the celebration. Chiz’s input into every detail further solidified their harmonious working relationship, truly a match made in heaven.
Frankie Peralta of the Caking Giant, renowned for his exquisite cake designs, collaborated closely with Badang and proved instrumental in crafting the perfect confection for Chiz and Heart’s special day. His impeccable taste and timeless creations added a touch of elegance to the celebration, completing the artistic vision they had envisioned.
