Those who love deeply truly never grow old and there is nothing quite like celebrating many years of togetherness with family and friends in an intimate party.

A family celebration honoring the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. Boots and Mrs Olive Cruz was held at the Palacio de Maynila, hosted by their children and their spouses. Januarius team beautifully decorated the pavilion with glam festive theme. Upon entering is a large personalized banner with the couple’s wedding portrait on it. It serves as photo wall for the guest. the bride’s original wedding dress also on display.

Initially the stage was hidden with backdrop panels of cathedral stain glass image and on a white board projecting a church ceiling to bear a resemblance of a church.

The children and grandchildren led by their son Orlie Cruz a singer base in Jakarta, Indonesia honored them with song and dance. Making the whole pavilion a concert hall. We're so happy to see such family where every member is musically inclined. A good time was enjoyed by all the guest.

RECEPTION FLORAL INGREDIENT:

We decorated the guest and presidential table with plants and flowers. For the guest table we use potted Chocolate Cosmos. It is called chocolate cosmos because it has a fragrance which is so similar to chocolate. In Greek’s language, cosmos means orderly, beautiful, and ornamental. It has been considered as the flower of love. The nice fragrance and nice vibrant look of it exudes the attributes of peacefulness, wholeness, and modesty. We hide the pot using Dry Moss, Siberian Cypress and Succulent. For the Presidential table we use Oyster Plants, Purple Cabbage Rose and Sinamomo Foliage to emphasize the Yelloween Lilies. At the center is topiary of purple sage plant where we attached the dainty Dancing Lady Orchid. These two create movement to this arrangement. Then we scattered edible Gold coins (chocolate wrapped with gold foil), and sequins on every table. Making this arrangement interesting.

BOUQUET FLORAL INGREDIENT:

Mrs Olive's bridal bouquet was a cascade of  White Phalaenopsis Orchid, and White Lisianthus. In between are Farfallina and Lina Spray Carnation. Empasized on one side are Green Trick Dianthus and Rosette Kale. Then we used Eucalyptus and Siberian Cypress as foliage to add fragrance to the bouquet. We accessorized it with cluster Sworovski set in silver. For the Entourage is a handtied bouquet. At the center is a huge Rose Kale to draw attention. Around it is White Lisianthus, Farfallina and Lina Spray Carnation. In between is Eucalyptus. Cluster Sworovski Crystals set in silver adorn the bouquet. And Siberian Cypress as bouquet collar.

1959 Cinco de Mayo, in the municipality of Navotas when Tatay Diony and Nanay Zeny made a promise of eternal love by the law of the people of the Philippines. Because of their young age and foolishness, They didn't manage to have a grand church wedding.

One by one each year flew by, since they both said "I do." Fifty years of memories shared. From big events and holidays. To simple daily pleasures, some tearful times, some joys that can't be measured. One by one each year now gone, but still they're affection remain stronger by the guidance of our Lord Almighty. Tatay Diony became a Christian along life's way and became a good follower of Christ. Since then he promised to renew his bow to Nanay Zeny in the church, professing his eternal love by the presence of God. Because he believe that God created romance, love, and marriage for our pleasure; but God also designed these relationships to teach us something of the tenderness and steadfastness of His own love for us.

As both of them look back with happiness and pride. Upon the fifty cherished years that they've spent side by side, may every memory that they've share. Of dreams they've seen come true, help make this special Golden day. A happy one for them!

BOUQUET FLORAL INGREDIENT

Ancient Chinese revered orchids as "Lan Hua" epitome of human perfection. Nanay Zeny's fascination for Orchids led us to create a European Biedermeier Bouquet were The blooms are tightly- structured and carefully-arranged in defined circular pattern making the delicate, exotic and graceful Cymbidium Boat Orchid as the focal point of the bouquet. We included Prado Mint Carnation this hardy, sweetly fragrant flower carry the greatest significance, beginning with the belief that they first appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary's tears – making them the symbol of a mother's undying love. The dainty Misty Blue Limonium act as Filler and bouquet collar. We accentuated it with Crystals to compliment the Swarovski Crystals embellishment on her Gown. Capiz Ball and Silk Tussle adorn the handle.
