Fit for a queen

Edna Lhuillier recently celebrated her 70th birthday in the most lavish way.
Held at Whitespace Manila in Makati City, the stunning wife of Philippine Ambassador to Spain and Cebuana Lhuillier chairman Philippe Lhuillier was feted with an elegant black-tie celebration attended by her loving family, steadfast friends and the metro’s most distinguished diplomats and businessmen.
Guests enjoyed an impressive buffet and select vintage wines and danced the night away to the music of Manila Symphony Orchestra and Route 70 Band. The celebrator had the time of her life with the people she considers her true treasures in life.
Being altruistic at heart, she encouraged everyone in attendance to contribute to their favorite charities as a selfless way of commemorating her day, in lieu of gifts. It was truly a celebration fit for a queen.
Many happy returns, Edna!
