Got a Wedding Dress, Yet?

Last week, Marriott Hotel Manila staged the most coveted bridal show, Marry Me At Marriott.

On its 5th year, Marriott features the most promising and talented Filipino fashion designers who are starting to make waves in the bridal fashion industry.

If you're planning to get married anytime soon, you can get inspirations from this awesome bridal wear collection.

The show opens with the much-sought after young designer Michael Leyva, who is getting to be known for his swirl of embroidery and tulle. If I remember it right, he was introduced as one of Kris Aquino's new designers back in 2015.

Hannah Kong follows suit. Hannah who studied embroidery in Ecole Lesage, Paris, France, uses an embroidery technique known as Lunéville or Tambour. Her style speaks of masterful workmanship highlighting the bride's femininity, daintiness, and delicateness.

Next comes Happy Andrada's bridal collection. Happy is getting to be known for her intricately designed bridal creations, which often comes with embellishments of crystals, fringes, and feathers. For this collection, Hannah highlights each wedding gown in distinct color palette with an intricately elegant head accessory.

The show ends with Avel Bacudio's collection. Avel was awarded Asia’s Most Influential Designer 2014 at the Mercedes-Benz Stylo Asian Fashion Week where he established himself as one of the cutting-edge designers. He got his big break when he won Smirnoff Fashion Award in 2002. For this collection, Avel tells ABS-CBN News online that he will introduce the idea of a ready-to-wear line consisting of separates with each piece carrying the gorgeous intricacies of a wedding ensemble, but having the possibility of being mixed and matched with other pieces in the collection.
