Avanceña - Ignacio

FEBRUARY 18, 2011 -- The day Anna Marie Avanceña married her longtime sweetheart JR Ignacio. And what a beautiful and touching wedding it was.

The couple's entourage walked to the strings version of Coldplay's "Yellow". That was such a goosebumps moment. The couple clearly made sure every small detail of the wedding was taken care of.

Also Singapore-based, many of the guests flew in from Singapore, Brunei and other parts of the globe to witness the union of this well-loved couple. And who wouldn't love them? They are among the nicest, sweetest couples I've worked with. In fact, I have become friends with Anna and her sister Carla. Carla is an amazing makeup artist by the way and she worked her magic on her sister that day... though Anna already has a pretty face to begin with.

Clearly, Anna is another ruffle lover and volume was the name of the game for her big day. Her bodice is made of lace and beaded with Swarovski crystals.
