Jerika Ejercito married her Spanish beau Miquel Aguilar Garcia in a lavish lavender-themed wedding at the Manila Hotel.
According to event stylist Robert Blancaflor Group, the two tons worth of blooms were all fresh and imported from Holland, Ecuador and South Africa.
A 40 foot-high floral wall adorned the stage and ceiling installations, giving the venue a fairytale feel.

The bride’s wedding dress was also in a floral fantasy: Ejercito wore an Inno Sotto creation which had a train embroidered with a lavender flower pattern.
