This is my place to share with you my thoughts, my ideas, my inspirations, my shortcomings, my life....
Since a lot of you have never met me in person, I would like to share with you a little bit about me...I'm the youngest daughter of Joven & Daisy Castillejos with four older siblings (two boys and two girls).. I love reading books, cooking, shopping,travelling and doing arts and crafts during my spare time (which is very rare these days). For me life is short so we must enjoy it every single day with laughter, peace and love...Live life happily. I'm Ada, married to my wonderful husband Eric and blessed with two adorable kids, Basti and Alyssa.

| Hi, I'm Ada ! |
My interest in life..first -my family and hmmm..well.. papers and lots of it!
To give you a little background about what we do...here it goes...
My older sisters (Ate Nona and Ate Malou) and I have been into weddings for more than eleven years now. We are wedding planners and have been enjoying our job since the day we opened our doors to soon-to-wed couples in 1999. It's not a very easy job...but it's what we breathe...Some people think it's a glamorous job...Oh well, maybe yes but then no, it's not! We do the dirty work with the best wedding suppliers in the country before everyone else sees the magnificent outcome of a wedding or an event. The trimming of thorns until our hands bleed from the stem of roses as we arrange them in a beautiful landscape to adorn the tables, no one sees that. That's what we do.

Our eldest sister Nona heads our team. She is our Head Wedding Planner, a great organizer, a wonderful friend and a very loving sister. Her laughter is contagious. No dull moment when she is around. Check out the weddings we've handled through the years to see how we organized it - www.cnccreativeconcepts.com.
My other sister is Malou. She is our in-house Gown Designer. Oh, we envy her talent in designing gowns. She is so gifted. Her gown designs are among the best (not that she is our sister) but her craftmanship is really exceptional. You have to see her actual gowns and judge for yourself. Both my Ate Nona and I confess that if we didn't know Malou, we'll end up getting her to design our wedding gowns. Her dedication to her craft and her personal attention to details make her one of the most admirable designers in the country. She is one of the funniest persons we know too and an extremely generous sister. Oh, her brides can attest to this. She's always given much more than the cost of their gowns..(we hate her for it..ha ha ha!). Oh, but yeah, we always try to exceed our clients' expectations. Can't help, we love everyone of them. We always thank the Lord for sending our way the best clients ever. To read her blog - head on to www.maloucastillejos.com.
And now as for me, I am the Creative Design Consultant for custom-made invitations and matching giveaway packaging and gift ideas. I am happiest around papers as my gown designer sister is happiest around fabrics and beads. I always get excited when working on new invitation card designs or a new packaging design. My sisters help me in putting together everything up to the tiniest details until it becomes the Pefect Invitation. Here's the link to my main website - www.perfectinvitationsuperstore.com .
So here, I'll take you to some of our behind-the-scene moments...the not-so-glamorous life of wedding planners like us. I will let you peek into some of our most memorable weddings...the friends we made along the way...the company of people we enjoy working the most...the joys, the heartaches, the beautiful memories...and so much more...
Join me as we enter our world of weddings. =)
