April 15, 2026 / Posted by in Real Weddings

Louie and Nikki embraced and honored Ilocano culture in the most intentional way on their wedding day. Behind the grandeur of this 450-guest wedding are details that are so thoughtful, meaningful, and filled with Ilocano pride. Their venue is none other than UNESCO World Heritage site, Paoay Church. Their wedding favors showcase the excellence of Ilocos Norte’s homegrown products – Bugnay Wines, Sukang Iloco, Ilocos white garlic, local sea salt.

And the fashion? “The Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana silhouettes added a regal touch, highlighting Ilocano Inabel pride,” says Nikki.

She adds, “What we envisioned came to life with intention and heart. Every detail from the attire, the food, the immersive activities reflected Ilocano wedding pride and tradition.”

March 18, 2026 / Posted by in Real Weddings

Santi and Maiki’s wedding is like a love letter to family and heritage. We’ve always adored Modern Filipiniana details, and in this wedding the variety of bright colors brought fun and festivity to something so timeless. Sitting down around such a vibrant tablescape makes you feel the joyful energy of the celebration. Meanwhile, the sari-sari store gives so much nostalgia and comfort with gifts that guests get to bring home.

Another nod to tradition is the patchwork quilt from Bride Maiki’s family. The names and wedding dates of every couple in their family are sewn on the quilt, like a collection of memories passed on from generation to generation.
