POV: You planned Valentine’s Day like a movie scene—and Prague delivered. I’m still on a Valentine’s high, and honestly, how could you not be in Prague? We chose Four Seasons Hotel Prague—because location is everything. A private boat cruise along the Vltava. Dropped off in a vintage red car. Then a romantic terrace setup with a full, uninterrupted view of the Charles Bridge. Did I mention it was styled properly? Because romance is not just about the place. It’s about the decor, the candlelight, the ambience—the quiet details that turn a view into a moment. Prague is already romantic. But with the right styling? It becomes unforgettable. Save this for your next destination proposal—and tell me, where should we design love next? @fsprague #RomanticPrague #FSPrague #

“At some point this year, wedding design shifted. Not in a loud or viral way, but in a quieter, more meaningful unfolding. We saw it in sculptural florals that no longer sat politely on the sidelines but took center stage. In programs that felt less performative and more personal. In palettes that whispered rather than shouted, and textures that grounded rather than dazzled”. - by @gomarbeego for @metrodotstyle Bride & Groom - @leilalcasid @curtismito Planner @christineongte @cotevents Photos @niceprintphoto Catering @juancarlocaterer Venue @pinto.art.museum

As the Captain of this experience, this special Halong Bay cruise curated together with Ambassador Cruise became deeply meaningful to me. I’m truly grateful to their team for warmly accommodating our class onboard, from the beautiful cave excursions to the impeccable service, hospitality, and sumptuous lunch that made our day at sea unforgettable. Thank you @ambassadorcruise.halong Looking at each participant during the journey made me reflect on what more I can continue to offer — not just for their businesses, but for their personal growth as creatives. More than the lessons, I hope this became an experience they will always remember and a community they can truly call home. #BloomwithTeddyInVietnam Photo by @mayadstudios @jamielihan Video @thecarmelady @thecarmelady Collaborators @teddymanuel @tm.floral.school @gomarbeego @bergdata @lifewithaua @wanderer_cj04 @khayemillares

For the unveiling of @letscelebrateinc Expo 2026, curated by @gomarbeego in collaboration with the Spain Tourism Board, we created a Spanish-Filipino sculptural tablescape at @westinmanilahotel Featuring cascading red carnation garlands, tropical heliconias rising like skyscrapers, terracotta textures, and Spanish fans against the @aire32.manila rooftop skyline — a modern take on sustainable styling through sculptural placement and reusable elements. The future of weddings and destination celebrations is immersive storytelling through culture, design, and experience. Thank you to all our media guests and creative team @ryanroscalmante @kevinlapena @theproudrad @tastemakers.ph for sharing this intimate afternoon with us, while enjoying the Michelin Guide selected Spanish restaurant @cantabria.manila by Chele Gonzalez.

ALL ABOARD — Welcome to Halong Bay! Part of Bloom with Teddy in Vietnam was slowing down after the busy rhythm of Hanoi and spending a full day cruising through the breathtaking waters of Halong Bay aboard the elegant Ambassador Cruise. @ambassadorcruise.halong And honestly? This was something completely new for us. We’ve never held a conference on a cruise before. Our first stop was one of the famous caves of Halong Bay — a little hike, a little adventure, and a reminder of how beautiful Vietnam truly is beyond the city streets. Back on board, we were welcomed with a generous buffet lunch and the warmest surprise: fellow Filipinos working as part of the cruise crew. That instantly felt like home. The afternoon became the heart of the experience Together with Czarra Platon, she hosted intimate sessions focused on resetting, self-reflection, creativity, and reconnecting with the child within us. What started as a class turned into something deeply personal. For my session, I initially planned to discuss a different topic but it naturally evolved into an open forum about real business struggles — pricing, competition, surviving creatively in different cities/provinces and communities, and how everyone navigates this ever-changing industry. What I loved most was this: it no longer felt like teacher and students. It became creatives learning from one another. That kind of openness is rare, and I’m truly grateful for it. Thank you, Bloom with Teddy family, for making this experience meaningful in every possible way.

We’re back in the classroom — this time sharing the stage with some of Vietnam’s international event planners @van.hngx and @thitranlouise and award-winning floral designers @na.flona and @kha_roma with the wedding planner panel beautifully moderated by @gomarbeego , founder of the @letscelebrateinc platform. It became an inspiring exchange of stories, experiences, and creative insights for future collaborations in Vietnam and beyond. After the talks and floral demonstrations, the room turned emotional with a surprise video tribute for Dani, honoring her Loyalty Award for being part of the TM Masterclass journey for the last 9 years. Moments like this remind me how this community has grown into something far beyond a class — it has become family. To end the day, the participants presented their “Colors of Vietnam” photo and video challenge entries, capturing Hanoi through their own creative lens. Congratulations to the Yellow Team for taking home the win, and to everyone who poured their heart and creativity into the challenge.

Day 2 of Bloom with Teddy in Vietnam started early with one of the most visually striking experiences yet — the famous Incense Village, where endless fields of crimson red incense sticks created the dreamiest backdrop. We then visited local artisans of the traditional conical hat making village, welcomed warmly into their homes and stories. These moments remind me that travel is not only about seeing places, but experiencing the people and culture behind them. Another important part of this journey is education and collaboration. We gathered with talented Vietnamese floral designers @kha_roma and @na.flona and event planners @thitranlouise @van.hngx who generously shared their experiences, insights, and creative perspectives — opening doors for future collaborations and destination events in Vietnam. One of the most emotional moments of the day was honoring @flowersandeventsbydani with a Loyalty Award for being part of the masterclass journey for almost 9 years. There were tears, laughter, and the kind of gratitude that reminds you this community has truly become family. And of course, no Bloom with Teddy experience is complete without getting lost in the beauty of flower fields, soaking in inspiration one bloom at a time.

Some losses don’t get lighter with time… you just learn how to carry them quietly. It’s been 4 years since you passed, and I still haven’t found the courage to greet you on Mother’s Day the way I used to. Most years, it’s just silence… me standing in front of you, trying to hold back everything I never got to say. People say time heals, but some days the grief still feels brand new. I still catch myself wanting to call you, tell you about my day, my wins, the little things only a mother would understand. But maybe love doesn’t end when someone leaves. Maybe it simply changes form — into memories, prayers, quiet conversations, and the kind of presence you carry in your heart forever. Today, I celebrate you through the life you helped shape, the strength you left behind, and the love that still finds me even in your absence. Happy Mother’s Day, Nanay. I miss you in ways words will never fully explain.

Day 02 - Walking through an entire village painted in red incense sticks. We woke up early for one of Hanoi’s most iconic cultural spots — Quang Phu Cau Incense Village, known for its vibrant bundles of red incense drying in perfect rows. Originally crafted for spiritual offerings and temples, the village has now become one of Vietnam’s most photographed creative destinations. Our style guide for the day? Shades of yellow for the perfect contrast against the sea of crimson incense sticks and honestly, it made the whole experience even more surreal. Afterwards, we visited a traditional conical hat making village where everyone got hands-on, exchanged ideas, laughed through the process, and appreciated the craftsmanship behind one of Vietnam’s most recognizable cultural pieces. Ending the day with a home-cooked Vietnamese lunch made the experience feel even more personal and immersive. Safe to say Bloom with Teddy in Vietnam is becoming more than just a trip… it’s a full creative and cultural reset. @teddymanuel @tm.floral.school @gomarbeego @bergdata @wanderer_cj04 @khayemillares @van.hngx @thitranlouise @lifewithaua @mayadstudios @jamielihan @thecarmelady @printdivas @na.flona @kah_roma @JinaJuson @dorothy.albufera @angelli.albufera @wilfredalbufera @eventscentralphil @iam_cendra @misskyne @Sandrayapeventstyling @cheeniecalvo @prime_a_events.ph @inajuicesun @arrazaevents @ezrendy @mtceventsph_eventstyling @EventStylingbyMissG @flowersandeventsbydani #BloomwithTeddyinVietnam #teddymanuelexperience
