the vision: tropical disco
Love, culture, and a whole lot of disco vibes came together in the most magical way for Ashley and Julius’ wedding celebration. Held on October 18th at the stunning Millwick in Los Angeles, this Filipino-American couple beautifully infused their heritage into every detail of their big day, creating an unforgettable tropical disco extravaganza.
the flowers
Once Upon A Florist is the visionary behind the exquisite ceremony arbor and this stunning tropical-inspired bouquet. For the reception, the couple opted for smaller arrangements in scattered bud vases along the center of each table.
incorporating their filipino culture
With the help of SixteenFourteen Events, a Filipino-owned planning and design company, Ashley and Julius curated a celebration that was as intentional as it was vibrant. The couple made it a point to work with a creative team and vendors who shared their cultural roots, ensuring that their wedding was not only a reflection of their love but also a celebration of their Filipino identity. From the ceremony arch crafted with traditional pamaypay (hand fans) and bilao (woven trays) to the colorful Pinoy tricycle that carried them off into the sunset as newlyweds, every detail was a heartfelt nod to their heritage.
The reception was a feast for the senses, blending tropical flair with disco-inspired glam. Guests were treated to a show-stopping sari-sari store spread, complete with the couple’s favorite Filipino snacks, including the beloved Jollibee Peach Mango Pie. As the night went on, the party kept going with a late-night snack spread featuring iconic Filipino favorites like lechon (roast pig) and lumpia (spring rolls), alongside crowd-pleasing tacos—a perfect fusion of flavors to keep everyone dancing.
the fashion
For the ceremony, Ashley stunned in a chic minimalist crepe gown with a sexy thigh-high split and corset detailing on the bodice. Her bridesmaids sported the color palette, wearing a mix of sunset colors in shades of orange, yellow, and pink. Julius went with a deep navy suit and an elegant blush necktie. Later in the evening, the two honored Filipino traditions, with Ashley donning a lace bolero with traditional sleeves and Julius in a Barong Tagalog.
trend alert: projections
For their first dance as husband and wife, the two held each other while scenes from their love story were projected onto the wall behind them. We’re seeing couples, planners, and venues get more and more creative with lighting as the years go on. Projection shows are definitely having a moment, so make sure to consider all of these fun possibilities when you’re planning your big day.
