This Bride Made Minimalist Look Grand with Her Mikado Silk Ballgown!

While Jinkay was unassumingly filling up her wedding mood boards, Lance was planning a proposal on February 24th (as a tribute to Kobe Bryant). She said yes, and the couple started planning their big dream wedding. However, two weeks later, the lockdown was declared and changes had to be made. Lance and Jinkay decided to make their wedding as intimate as possible, without making the details any less beautiful than they originally imagined. From the bride’s regal ballgown to the tasteful modern Filipinina styling, this wedding looked every bit as grand as those with hundreds of guests!

This Bride Made Minimalist Look Grand with Her Mikado Silk Ballgown!

The bride, Jinkay, shares “When the church doors opened, first thing I laid my eyes on was the site of my Groom, everything else were a blur. I’m thinking—this is it. This is the sight of my future, the father of my future children, my everything.” Bask in the romance from this blissful union as you hear more from the bride and browse through this set of photos by Myio Okamoto.

The bridal dress was a Mikado silk ballgown with a cathedral train, low back, and exaggerated bow. I wanted the material to be no frills—just plain and timeless. To compensate for the plainness of the fabric, I wanted to at least have a little drama at the back, thus the final design.

We opted to make our entourage party our siblings, and I think it's one of our best decisions yet. Our siblings were there with us from the very start, and they are our longest best friends.

When the church doors opened, first thing I laid my eyes on was the site of my Groom, everything else were a blur. I'm thinking—this is it. This is the sight of my future, the father of my future children, my everything.

Breathe. Just think of the bright side out of all this, the idea of spending the rest of your life with the one person you love. All else will follow. A wedding will be beautiful no matter what.
