In the heart of Angeles City, where blooms and dreams are married, Pancho Pantig brought to life a vision that feels like it stepped straight out of a fairytale. His Dream Theme for Wedding Essentials, simply titled Winter, transforms the idea of a wedding into a breathtaking storybook chapter—where cold meets warmth, and beginnings are wrapped in elegance and wonder.
Pancho, the creative force behind Plumeria (formerly L’Arte Fleur), has been in the business of beauty and celebration for over three decades. What began in 1988 as a humble shop beside Farmacia Pantig has flourished into a full-scale event styling company known across Luzon and beyond. From Boracay to Baguio, his team has turned countless dreams into living, blooming moments.
For this setup, Winter Solstice became Pancho’s guiding light. “It’s the day of the sun’s rebirth,” he shares, “a powerful metaphor for marriage, a new beginning, a fresh journey together.”
Drawing inspiration from the quiet romance of snow-covered landscapes, he created a dreamscape of glistening whites, soft textures, and subtle sparkles, an idyllic winter wonderland.
The centerpiece was a majestic banquet table, inspired by the palatial halls of St. Petersburg. With its soft, flowing form, it symbolized unhindered continuity, a silent wish for couples to journey forward, always together.
Adding a sweet touch to the winter fantasy was a stunning cake by Guilty Pleasures by Finn Ayson-Anunciacion, who partnered with Pancho for this dreamy creation. Known for heartfelt, custom creations, Guilty Pleasures poured their passion into every detail. Their winter wonderland cake was a vision in silver and white, capturing the snowy magic of the theme. Delicate sugar sails created a frosty illusion, making the cake not just a dessert, but a statement piece.
“To us, every cake is a labor of love,” Finn says. “We put our hearts into each creation, always hoping to bring smiles to those who receive them.”
To soon-to-weds dreaming of their perfect day, let this winter dream remind you: your wedding is not just a day—it’s the first chapter of a lifetime, written with intention, beauty, and love.
