The Manila Hotel and Wedding Essentials Magazine once again open their doors to Tadhana—a spectacular gathering that brings together the country’s most brilliant designers, stylists, and creatives who shape the landscape of Filipino weddings.
This year, Tadhana shines a spotlight on the visionary stylists whose tablescapes transform tradition into living poetry:
  • “Halimuyak” by Arvin Pingol (San Miguel, Bulacan), a golden love song where sampaguita and ylang-ylang whisper memories.
  • “Hiraya” by Cacai Muñoz (Central Luzon), a dream brushed with light and longing, blooming in quiet magic.
  • “Alon at Anahaw” by Monarich Bumanlag (Malolos, Bulacan), soft blue tides and anahaw embrace timeless love.
  • “Kasaganahan” by Glenda Enriquez-David (San Miguel, Bulacan), radiant abundance, a feast of joy and togetherness.
  • “Perlas ng Silangan” by Ferdie Talbenito (Hagonoy, Bulacan), luminous elegance, a love poem to the islands.

The evening crescendos with a runway showcase featuring iconic Filipino designers: Chris Diaz, Erik Castelo, Mich Viray, Simoun Andres, and Mak Tumang. Their creation—bold, romantic, and steeped in cultural pride—capture the essence of the modern Filipino bride.
This celebration is made possible through the support of valued partners, including: The Manila Bulletin, 4th Wall, Amady Manila, Ana Tiglao, Arielle Clayton, Aristotle Studios, Atom Ungson, Blanc Portraiture, Blaze Brew and Blend, Boy Kastner Santos, Bunny Marfil, Camp John Hay, Manor Baguio by Landco, Chester Albuero, Christina Borlagdan, E Circuit, Elaine Villamar, Ella Tamayo, Eventstyles by Kathy Sy-King, Geof Lagria, Giselle Buemcamino, Hendricks, Jean Tayamin, Jeb Marquez, Jhen Bacus, Justine Guison, Karol Kusi, Kath Cervantes, Kiss The Girl Events, Kyle Jewely, Landz Galiste Jongaya, Leo Parreño, Lumi Candles, Manila Craft, Mark Pedro, Metrophoto, Mich Viray, Mike Acuna, Paparazzzzzi, Party Themes, Penk Ching, Philippine Wine Merchants, Randy Guinto, Randy Lazaro, Rinar Padis, Roan Reyes, Sensitivity, Suzette Castillo, Tally PH, TAP Creatives, Verse Studio, Ynah Sta Rosa, Zundoh Tribe Drumbeaters
