RB 2013 Forecast Report: ROGUE

Photo by Carlo & Hyds Cecilio of ImagineNation

While the rest are probably digging Emerald which is supposedly the color of the year, we say it's Rogue. And whether it's your lipstick or a pop of red like a bangle, this is the color we are gravitating towards to.

Chief rebellious diva makeup artist, RB Mica writes: Red is in this 2013! To update the look, pair it with fuller brows. To create full brows, I used K-Palette eyebrow pen. For the lips, I used Chanel Rogue hydrabase in New York Red. Make sure to choose a hydrating lipstick. So you get that matte finish without the dryness. Use a lip sealer to make it last on your big day.

When in comes to makeup, here are the looks we love:

Even Kate Spade seems to agree with us on this one!


Rogue Bridal Jewelry - Are you or your fiancee a Cancer/Leo? Or maybe your wedding falls on a July? Another way to do rogue is incorporating Ruby gems in your wedding. They say that wearing the month's gem makes its powers even more potent. Here's more interesting info on this fiery gem:


The energy of Ruby is intense and vivid.  

"It is said that the power of Ruby is in its encouragement to follow your dreams and your bliss, helping you to change your world.   Ruby will bring light to the dark places in ones life, bringing a spark of awareness to those places where you might still need work, and giving you the opportunity to clear that path. Ruby also heightens our love for life, giving us motivation and inspiration to choose wisely for ourselves and others.


Eliminates the "Martyr" syndrome, the underlying belief that you are somehow "less than" that sets you up to fail by thinking you need to experience pain and suffering to learn.  The Universe has all of infinity at its disposal to teach you, it does not need you to be its whipping boy. 

Ruby's wisdom is in teaching you how precious you are. You were handcrafted in Love, and meant to be happy."

There's a lot of colors to choose from when it comes to your wedding. Whatever you choose, always choose because it has a meaning to you and not just because someone tells you it is the 'in' thing right now. And always remember to Live Colorfully! :)

RB 2013 Forecast Report: CAPIZ

Photography by Carlo Cecilio of Imagine Nation

In our Rebellious Brides 2013 Fearless Forecast Feature, we said something about skipping the mason jars and the other foreign influences because we have our own local artful products that we can celebrate. One of which is the Capiz. 

The Philippines is naturally abundant with Capiz shells. Capiz makes for such an elegant design element for  weddings. The great part about it is that when combined with ingenuity and taste, it can definitely look modern--and in some instances, even whimsical. 


 Together with Carlo Cecilio of Imagine Nation, we went to Cravings Il Terrazo for inspiration to create this pseudo mood board (or maybe it should be called mood blog) for you. The way Cravings' in-house designer Tina Bonoan visualized this branch is the perfect living proof of just how Capiz can be very versatile. 


 Create a rebellious whimsical capiz look 
by combining it with pops of color! 

The Red-Turquoise-Capiz triple threat combo is such an exciting mix, don't you think?

Green & Capiz looks very organic! 
Capiz bouquet anyone? :)


Combining Capiz with metallic and neutral tones make for a contemporary look. 

How about creating a stylish entourage ensemble with a touch of Capiz accessories?

For a sentimental, classic, and timeless look you can use black & white photos and combine it with Capiz mood lighting. 

The black & white photos you see from the interiors of Cravings are my husband's own lomo photos taken from his travels around Europe. You can do the same with your table arrangements by incorporating black & white photos that have meaning to you and your fiancee.

 Which style fits you? The Whimsical Capiz? Contemporary Capiz? Or Timeless Capiz? 


We hope that our Fearless Capiz forecast for 2013 will inspire you to graduate from the usual wedding elements cropping up. Go Pinoy, Go Capiz.

The 2013 RB Forecast

We've always encouraged you guys to create your own forecasts, in pursuing what rocks your boat, in finding your inspirations from within as opposed to force-fitting a color or a trend that is said to be "in" (even if it's not even you).  So hence we don't believe in dictating forecasts.

But surprisingly (and flatteringly), Rebellious Brides was asked on what we think will be popular in weddings next year. Now, we don't necessarily know what's going to be hot and we haven't really done any research on the subject as well. But we've narrowed down some things we personally believe in. 
This is a forecast created out of our own sheer gut.  So follow it--or don't follow it but the point is we hope this will inspire you to set your own trends based on your own desires, passion, and style.

What you will see below is a simple layout/look book we prepared for a pool of wedding artists that we've thrown ideas with. They wanted to know of our 2013 ideas and so we made this for them. And now we thought we'd share them with you guys! Enjoy! :)

So there you have it folks! Our very own 2013 forecast or whatever you wanna call it. We didn't go into each idea because we plan to elaborate on this every month in 2013. So watch out for that! In the meantime, let's all enjoy what's left of 2012!

Do you have your own invented 2013 forecast? Share it with us!

XOXO,
Kai
