Manila Bridal Fair: The looks that graced the runways of Manila Prince Hotel's premier wedding showcase

Weddings are among the magical moments in life. With its romantic ambiance, a sumptuous feast, and people high in love, it is the very definition of a fairy tale turned into a reality. The thing is, it takes a village for such a fantasy to come to life. To help soon-to-wed couples achieve their dream nuptials, the Manila Prince Hotel garnered the best suppliers in the industry—from catering and event styling to lights and sounds—to its first-ever wedding showcase.

Manila Bridal Fair by Manila Price Hotel ran for two days at the hotel’s Grand Ballroom. Over 20 exhibitors put their products, designs, and setups, all dedicated to making each wedding truly memorable. The fair also allowed couples to consult these suppliers and book their services during the fair.

To mark the bridal fair’s inauguration, the Manila Price Hotel treated everyone to a night of style with a runway show presenting creations by noted Filipino designers. Carina Canlas, Fatima Beltran, Ryan Chris Baylen, and the members of Designers Circle Philippines presented their visions for wedding looks—from modern and contemporary suits to timeless bridal gowns and dainty dresses.
