Hitched Bridal Fair is back with a curated approach to helping couples discover suppliers, ideas, and inspiration for the big day

You’re now engaged. Congratulations, but what’s next?
The usual step is to attend wedding fairs to meet suppliers, compare services, and gather ideas for the big day. But this can be quite overwhelming. This is precisely what Miel Villamor-Coronel hopes to change through Hitched Bridal Fair.

After years of building communities through Flair Pop Up, her long-running lifestyle market, Miel saw an opportunity to bring the same sense of discovery and curation to wedding planning.
Returning for its second edition on June 20 and 21 at The Fifth at Rockwell in Power Plant Mall, Makati City, Hitched offers a more thoughtful alternative to the traditional bridal fair experience.
“Hitched was created to offer a more intentional and inspiring approach to wedding planning—one that feels less overwhelming and more reflective of today's couples, who value both practicality and meaningful experiences,” says Miel.
This year, the fair will feature over 90 participating brands across categories such as fashion, beauty, photography, catering, styling, favors, and more. When asked how participating suppliers are selected, Miel says the emphasis has always been on quality rather than quantity.
“We try to choose suppliers carefully. We think about the overall experience and how we can make it easier for couples to discover businesses that genuinely fit their needs,” she tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle.

Another part of Hitched's appeal is its willingness to spotlight smaller creative businesses that may otherwise be overlooked at larger bridal fairs. “There are so many talented creatives and small businesses that deserve to be discovered. Sometimes, they simply need the right platform.”
Aside from supplier booths, Hitched also introduces interactive experiences designed to make the event feel more engaging and memorable. Guests can expect live music, creative workshops, and hands-on activities throughout the weekend.
Among the attractions are make-your-own candle stations, interactive experiences from participating merchants, and exclusive promotions available only during the fair. Some exhibitors are also offering special incentives for attendees, including discounts, packages, and giveaways.

Among the highlights is a giveaway from fashion designer Chynna Mawawal, who is offering a ready-to-wear wedding gown worth P100,000, along with a ready-to-wear suit of the same value. Guests can also pre-register for free entrance, while walk-in guests can register onsite with an entrance fee of P100.
While Hitched is designed primarily for engaged couples, the event also welcomes newlyweds, wedding enthusiasts, and anyone seeking inspiration for future celebrations.
For Miel, the goal remains simple—helping couples navigate wedding planning with greater confidence and less stress while discovering ideas and suppliers that reflect their vision.
"I would have loved a bridal experience that didn't overwhelm me, but instead guided me through the process—helping me discover what I love, what fits my style, and inspiring me along the way.”
Through Hitched, she hopes to create exactly that kind of experience where couples leave inspired, informed, and excited about the journey ahead.
