Reception Filipiñana

Your reception is the celebration — the dancing, the laughter, the toasts, the unforgettable moments. Our Reception Collection is designed for brides who want to transition seamlessly from ceremony elegance to party-ready glamour, all while honoring Filipiniana heritage.

From playful mini skirts to fitted, sparkling showstoppers, each piece is crafted with luxurious fabrics, intricate beading, and couture craftsmanship. These gowns are made to move with you, flatter your silhouette, and shine under the lights, giving you confidence and comfort as you celebrate your love.

  • Minimal customizations are available for our Ceremony Collection — for example, if you’d prefer an A-line skirt instead of a mermaid silhouette, we can accommodate that. I would recommend for us to have a consultation for us to see how we can make your desired customization happen. You can book a time with me here.

  • That’s completely okay — we’re here to guide you!

    Most brides we work with have a general vision of what they love, even if every detail isn’t finalized. Through thoughtful conversations, and our expertise, we’ll help bring that vision to life — co-creating a gown that reflects your style and personality.

    I would recommend speaking with us first before moving forward, we’re happy to arrange a consultation. Early clarity and communication make for a smooth and fulfilling journey together, ensuring your gown feels perfectly you.
