8 Filipiniana Gowns That Will Stun You To Silence

And just like that, it’s August, folks! Since it’s Buwan ng Wika, we at Bride and Breakfast want to celebrate our heritage by giving you a gorgeous lineup of Filipiniana gowns from real weddings we’ve featured on the blog! How exciting! Now, some of you might think Filipiniana gowns are old fashioned, but that is so not the case. Going through these just reminded me why exactly the Filipiniana style is a timeless look in bridal fashion. Prepare to be blown away, loves!

This beachside soiree surely does not disappoint, with its tasteful use of neutrals and bohemian accents to bring everything together–Vatel Manila did their magic with the flowers, alright! Come join me as we revisit this beautiful wedding for a lovely couple.

    Picture a romcom movie where a hopeless romantic guy marries the girl of his dreams and they live happily ever after. Actually, wait. You don’t need to ’cause Chestknots can show you!

You can totally smell the fresh flowers by just looking at these photos! That bouquet though–I mean, who doesn’t love a vibrant pop of color?

    Sun, Sand, and Simplicity

    One of the things I love about beach weddings is how they don’t necessitate extravagance, simply because the venue is enough to provide the relaxed ambiance and romantic mood that couples aim for. For destination weddings, simplicity is key, and that is exactly what this Mövenpick Mactan wedding exudes—D.I.Y. makeup for the bride, a laid back and intimate ceremony, beach dresses to dance around in, and a whole lot of smiles shot by Cebu-based Rainbowfish Photography. How about you? What’s your dream wedding destination?
