A Cristalle ball

Belo Medical Group managing director Cristalle Pitt was fêted with a whimsical dinner party for her birthday at Manila Polo Club’s The Last Chukker in Makati City. For many years, the lovely entrepreneur has opted to celebrate her birthdays at home with delicious home-cooked meals and surrounded by her closest friends and family, but this year she strayed from tradition as she and husband Justin Pitt also welcomed a new addition to their family. Attended by her mother, the stunning Belo Medical Group CEO and founder Dr. Vicki Belo-Kho, who is also known for her elegant parties, the venue was transformed into a magical garden filled with dreamy lights, dainty touches and plush accents — perfect for the celebrator, who is femininity personified. Surrounded by those close to her, Cristalle could not help but shed tears for Justin’s special gift to her — a 6-year-old Australian thoroughbred named Ramato, as they bonded over their common love of horses.
