As my sisters and l grew up, we saw with
interest how the wedding industry continuously evolved.
While spending a lot of our teenage years helping our mother
in her bridal business, we valued its importance and decided
to take over when the right time came.
After l got married in 1998, my sisters and
l, with the blessings of our mother put up C &C Creative
Concepts (C & C referring to Castillejos and Clemente), a
one-stop bridal shop that would cater to the needs of busy
couples seeking for budget-friendly wedding needs such as
the gowns, photo and video, invitations, giveaways, etc.
After opening our doors, our first few clients were our
mother's clients.
Early on, we had our share of disappointment
and hard times, but with a little prodding and some
encouraging words from our very loving mother and mentor, we
were challenged to prove ourselves and what we can offer.
Soon enough, things started to turn for us. Our first
clients had referred us to their friends and those friends
referred us to their friends and so on. After a while, even
the media noticed us and our services and began featuring
our little shop in major newspapers, bridal magazines, and
lifestyle TV programs.
Last year, with our mom as publisher, we
launched the first Annual Bridal Catalogue in the
Philippines, Dream Weddings Annual which was
launched amidst a successful bridal fair and fashion show
held at the Makati Shangri-La. After receiving clamor for a
regular publication and to keep brides and grooms updated on
the latest trends in weddings and our company, we have also
decided to come out with a quarterly magazine,
Dream Weddings.
In your hands, you now hold the fruition of
years of hard work, dedications and a commitment to make
life easier for people who are planning to tie the knot.
Welcome to Dream Weddings magazine.
